    I never knew about this little optic. Just saw it on Glockandrolls signature. Seems like a pretty decent scope for 600$ 30mm tube, matching reticle and turrets, mil/mil which is in my favor. Would go great on my youth model 18" .243.

If you use the search function and look for the word "patrol" in the titles of threads in this forum you should find a few posts about it.</div></div>

    Hows the glass compared to the mk4s? It seems like a budget tactical mix of a leupold mk4 and the vx series.
