This is the new Leupold Freedom Red Dot Sight. It is being offered in two different models. The first features capped precision ¼-MOA click adjustments, and the second features a precision exposed BDC elevation turret that ships with adjustments out to 500 yards for a standard 55-grain .223 round. The turrets use Leupold’s Custom Dial System. The dot size is 1 MOA and there are eight intensity settings. On a medium setting you’ll get about 1000 hours of use.
But it’s not just for .223 rifles. If you decide to mount your Freedom RDS to a rifle that’s chambered in other popular AR-style calibers like a 6.5 Creedmoor or .300 Blackout, the Leupold Custom Shop can create you a new dial for a fee.
It also integrates Leupold’s Motion Sensor Technology (MST), which turns the illumination off after five minutes of inactivity, when it detects motion again, it instantly turns the illumination back on.
The standard model is $389 with mount and the BDC model is $599 with mount.
