Leupold Mark6 1-6x Optic Updates

[bp7178]

If Leupold used the .1 mil clicks on the Patrol Firedot SPR, I would think that would easily carry over to the VX6. I'd want them capped though, locking would be better...but hey.

Im interested in the SPR reticle more for holdovers than for ranging. Even with a x6 power ranging is pretty tricky.

As soon as I can find a VX6 Firedot with a duplex for a good price I'm on it. Upgrading it later is just gravy.

A VX6 wth a mil reticle and a nice center illumination, with that 4 mil ring and .1 mil adjutments (I'd even settle for .2 at this point) provides a whole lot of check marks on my "want" list.

I agree with you Jack, it would be great if they offer a nice mil reticle.

You can get it with the Firedot SPR through the custom shop with matching mil turrets.

I think they already have a viable one in the TMR, although some minor improvements could certainly be made.

I'm just really worried that Leupold is going to pigeon hole themselves with the early offerings, especially if the most common iteration of the optic is nothing more than the CMR-W minor improvement over Trijicon's ACOG reticles, and then just throw MOA knobs on it and call that good.

I worry about that to but I think they are going to come threw for us

Leupold really has seem to picked up their shit latley.

As soon as I can free up the cash a VX-6 will be on the way...

I hear true 1x being thrown around a lot when talking about the Mark 6. Can anyone that has used one stand by this claim that it's just as fast as an aimpoint type optic? Really digging it and wouldn't mind swapping an Eotech for one.

Being true 1x isn't really about speed.
Experienced shooters can be as fast with a 3-4x magnified optic s they can with an Aimpoint.

Those target knobs on the 1.25-4x VXR Patrol are a huge mistake IMO. I believe I've bumped them out of zero more than once. You can reset the knobs so at least you know when you're bumped, but they just serve no damn purpose at all on that optic.

Can't say if they have a place on the 6x until I see it, but my gut reaction is that they do not.

From the pics I saw on TOS, the VX-6 mil turrets were capped, finger adjustable under the cap.

The CDS ballistic matched turret is an exposed non-locking.

Non-locking exposed turrets are a deal breaker for me, I'd rather just stick with capped, regardless of the adjustment. On a dedicated precision rifle maybe, but checking them should be worked into the manual of arms.
