Rifle Scopes Looking at a Mark 6 1-6 TMR...

[The Godfather]

Does anyone have a link to any recent reviews of the Leupold Mark 6 TMR? It looks like the scope I'm looking for except I have not found any reviews that have a picture of the reticle TMR-D. On the Leupold site it looks like 4 curved dash marks circle the center of the reticle. I'm wondering if when the scope is at 1x if these are bright enough to look like a ~ 2moa dot that is daylight visible.

Thanks!

I was able to look at one a few days ago. The illumination is very bright and it is absolutely a red dot on 1x. I was very impressed by this combo. I think it's the nicest 1-6x I've seen in person.

This scope with the TMR-D and the USO 1–4 DFP are both at the top of my list. Does anyone have photos of the TMR-D reticle that they could post? It looks like the crosshairs are open in the center and that turning on the illumination reveals a dot there. I'm guessing that the segmented circle provides the red-dot function at 1X and that the dot in the center of the crosshairs isn't visible until higher magnifications.

Andreas, there is a picture of this reticule not illuminated in the MK6 3-18 TMR thread where I was trying to figure out if the 3-18 had the same TMR-D reticule. (it does not)

The segmented circle is your illumination and as you zoom in, I do not remember there being a dot in the center. The way this illumination works it would need something to reflect off of, so if there is nothing in the center, it will not illuminate.

I am very impressed with this. When my SWFA SS comes in, it will immediately be for sale for one of these.

Thanks for the hint—I found the 1–6 TMR-D picture. The link on Leupold's product page also now works.

Looks like the segmented circle is 2 mils, or about 7 MOA. That seems fine.

Time to start saving my shekels…
