The Patrol 6HD has capped turrets which I think is a heck of a lot better than any easily adjustable, make that accidentally adjustable elevation dial. But heck I might need a dial-e-que thingy for a 200 yard shot on a cape buffalo.
That makes me laugh out loud! Keep it simple stupid!
Is 6x enough magnification for big mean critters within 100 yards? In Jack O'Connor's day it sure was. Today our rifles are on average more accurate, our projectiles are better, and we have more choices in cartridges we hunt with. Yes, 6x is plenty enough power for dangerous game. If I need more than 6 times magnification to make a shot, the game is too far away to be dangerous, isn't it? Oh, and if I have to shoot anything within 10 yards when I have a quarter second to shoot or die, I want a true 1x (actually zero) magnification rather than 1.75 or 2x!
A rifle industry design engineer recently asked me of what would be a high quality LPVO for their dangerous game rifles. This is what I recommended. One can buy a perhaps better LPVO at two to four times the price, but not me. This is what I spent my money on a few years ago...
