Ha, I do it often enough with my PST 2 1-6.
So you shit on BDC reticles without having practiced in their use? If you're regularly dialing an LPVO, especially a 4x or 6x one, you might be using it for the wrong tasks.
I do. It was the first I'd heard of someone caring about how the set it and forget it capped turrets on an LPVO felt.
Used a BDC with an ACOG I used to have for a year or so. Shot with it (hold over) out to about 400y. Just didn’t care for the BDC reticle (ACSS Aurora). I like Mils, its simple and in my mind, more versatile.

Also, I acknowledge that to some people "low weight plus daylight bright duplex" might very well be precisely what they need. I just don't find it terribly compelling as a non-hunter.
Right, but that's the thing. The reticle doesnt fully even make sense in my mind. The duplex is more of a hunter reticle from my understanding, but they are marketing it to Leo/competition. Why not have a cross hair reticle that has some sort of stadia or mil dots...atleast something that will help more with holding over? I know they have the other one but I myself prefer the cross hair style with the bright illuminated dot. Just kinda odd in my opinion.
I like my Delta Stryker 1-6x24 so much for the features/money in that sub $900 category. Sitting on my 16" carbine and the only way I would ever get something different is if I wanted to go FFP and up the magnification to 8x or 10x.
In this article it says the reticle blinks when more than 1 degree off level, and shuts off completely with more than 30 degrees. This is for a “tactical“ scope? Are they insane? You think someone in a tactical situation, or even just a 3gun match, might need to tilt the rifle to make a shot? This is completely unacceptable.Leupold Patrol 6HD 1-6x24 LPVO Scope: Tested - Firearms News
LPVO scopes aren't new to Leupold, but the new Patrol 6HD 1-6x24 was built for tactical and competition use; here's a full review.
" At its brightest it isn’t quite daylight bright, but that dot does help draw your eye to the center of the scope in challenging lighting conditions, and gives you a visible aiming point in low light conditions where you might not be able to see the thin crosshairs."
•This gentleman says it's "not quite daylight bright", but in the videos above by Leupold they say it is. That would be a pretty big mistake not having a daylight bright illumination in this price range and market for what they are marketing it as, competition/tactical duty use. Interested to know which one is correct.
Oh, man, I missed that. That's an immediate deal-breaker if true. I need to twist a little to use a port and the illumination decides to call it a day? Who the heck comes up with something like that? Real-world testing at any match or class would immediately find that problem.
You are absolutely correct. The "I can't believe they did that" wasn't a reference to you or not believing you it was to them. That's unbelievable to me in the sense that they would ever think that would be a good idea, I could see(I don't agree) someone trying to do that in a PRS scope, but an lpvo made for dynamic shooting that needs the illumination to run as a red dot? That's just mind boggling.
