Review of leupold patrol 6hd 1-6x24mm 1.18in (30mm) tube second focal plane rifle scope - Leupold Patrol 6HD 1-6x24mm 1.18in Tube Second Focal Plane Rifle Scope

This is a solid scope built for hard use. The dot is sharp and bright and the glass is crystal clear. The duplex reticle may not suit everyone's needs but for AR calibers within reasonable ranges a simple dot does fine, for longer distance shooting a different reticle may be preferred. Compared to the VX6HD 1-6 there are some important differences. The VX6 comes with alumina lens caps and nicer throw lever while this Patrol model comes with plastic caps and simple throw lever, this Patrol model also has covered turrets and a stiffer adjustment because that's what a duty scope needs. For work or serious situations I'd chose this one. For personal use, range time, and hunting I'd spend the extra money and buy the VX6HD 1-6 model.
