Thoughts on the Leupold VX-R 1.25-4

Im close to biting the bullet and purchasing this scope with an ADM mount. Any thoughts, reviews or opinions on this thing would be awesome. Oh, and pictures too!

I personally like the VXR Patrol, been looking at them for a 15-22 for some time.

For a 1-4 30mm scope, they're a lot lighter than a lot of the more popular options in that price range (3oz lighter than the PST). I'm not too 100% fond of the reticle, but I admit my eye finds the center of the scope quicker than my PST 1-4.

Wish the illumination was controlled by a dial instead of the push button. Overall, I like the scope. But with scopes and peoples' eyes you need to get the one that looks best to you

Thanks. I was leaning toward this one because I like the automatic shut off and on feature. Im terrible about remembering to shut things off.

Have you found any good deals on the Leupold? I'm looking for the 3x9 vxr. So far optics planet has the best deal at $489.

I want the Firedot 4 reticle for mine.

I bought the Fire-Dot Pig-Plex reticle version on Optics Planet with the IMS one-piece mount for my deer hunting Remington 870 and really like it!

You can reduce the fire-dot brightness as it gets darker for better precision and it still stands out well.
