While I really like the scope for hunting, I am not sure that the same level of sensitivity in the motion activation unit is a good idea if this is truley to be marketed as a patrol scope.
Like hunting, I want the ability to pick up the thing and have it switched onto the correct setting, I dont want to have to turn it on and then dial thru brightness settings to find the one I need. The VX-R partol is going to becom active every time the vehicle hits a bump or takes a hard turn, this is going to run down the battery in no time flat. As much as I like the idea I think the Aimpoint technology and 8000 hr run time has it beaten. Leupold should up the sensitivity or offer an reduced sensitivity model for scopes that will be true "patrol" rifles. |
| My Aimpoint Micro has been on for the past 2 years while attached to me rifle. I changing to a variable power optic too and had the same concern about using the VXRs auto feature. You can turn it off manually though and switch it on when you need it. I ultimately went with a different 1-4 for the reticle and lower end magnification being closer to a true 1x. Everything I have read and seen about the VXR is great though |
