Looks nice but priced too high IMO. Should be under $1k.

Also, the illumination flashes when the scope isn’t perfectly level? That sounds stupid for a 1x optic.

I don't disagree, and very similar to VX6 HD 1-6.

I will absolutely be getting this optic. I ran the Leupold 1-6x24 "Multigun" for a long time before the ex wife ran me 120K in debt just before she bailed for her current happily ever after and I was literally selling anything that wasn't bolted down. Absolutely loved that optic and the reticle. I'm a big Leupold fan. Using their VX6HD 4-24 Impact 29 on my 260 Rem bolt gun.

Only thing I wish it was is 1-8 for the price range but thats the same price as what the original non-Mark 6 1-6's were anyways.

I'm a bit frustrated with how Leupold stratifies and markets their products.

Maybe I'm just stupid, but I find their product line-up incredibly unclear and down right confusing. I love their glass and scopes, but over the past several years have confused their product line-up in my opinion.

Yes.

This scope looks nearly identical to the VX6 1-6x multigun, which was around $1000 street price just a few months ago. No way I am paying $1499 for this. The Vortex Razor 1-6x is now below 1k with its obsolescence.

Leupold prices any vaguely LE/mil scope in the stratosphere, intending to sell only to .gov at inflated prices and individuals with certain credentials at their mil/LE discount. Anyone else can pound sand.

16.2oz = yes please!

Love the CM-R2 reticle. I have one of the early VX6 HD 1-6 with that reticle (dont think you can get it anymore) and it is awesome. Easy pick up like a eotech but with hold overs, along with the custom dials and this thing is an easy button.

[Tokarev]

So they took the VX-6HD and moved it to a "patrol" category by adding a screw-in throw lever rather than the older style that sort of clamped on? Other than the throw lever I guess I'm not seeing anything different. What do we know about the illumination? The VX-6HD is not "daylight bright" although that's not really a huge deal on a SFP scope.

I wish they would have gone with capped turrets and a rheostat brightness adjustment.

Me too.

The more I thought about this the more it bothered me. I sent them an email telling them a long time customer no longer understands their scope line-up and whomever was in charge should be fired. I'll post what I get back, if anything.

You can't fix a problem you don't know exists.
