Supposed to be some type of VX-R Patrol update in the works. Will whatever it is be launched by SHOT?
I have a 1.25-4 Patrol. It is okay. But nobody's dialing windage and elevation on a patrol carbine. Or darned few anyway. I guess maybe I'd crank my elevation if I was shooting 300 BLK and swapping between supers and subs? I'm also not a fan of the brightness control. It would be much better as a rheostat and not the funky push button deal. Overall I think the idea was there but then ??? happened.
I see this red dot as sort of the same deal. Leupold wanted to make a red dot that could compete in the market with the other middle priced stuff. They could do it and it would sell but they need to look at what the competition is doing. Rival what sells rather than chopping the objective and ocular off an existing scope and calling it good.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
