Leupold's new VX-R Patrol Illuminated Riflescope features proprietary powered fiber-optic technology in a FireDot reticle to provide great target acquisition to law enforcement, military and tactical shooters in bright- and low-light situations.

• One-turn, non-locking eyepiece to provide smooth, fast and precise focus adjustment for users of different visual acuity, from nearsighted to farsighted
• Precision finger click adjustments for windage and elevation (1/4-MOA)
• Leupold’s most durable twin bias spring erector system
