Thread: Leupold VX2 6-18x40 AO or Leupold AR MOD 6-18x40

The Mod 1 has nicer but exposed turrets which is about the only difference. If you were going to be doing long range stuff more then the easy click-able turrets might be better option. I have a mod 1 on my AR and I like it alot but I also have a mil TMR reticule which only really helps if I run out of adjustment and need to add more mils for hold over or wind - but that kind of range is getting out there for a 223

Thanks Vapour, appreciate your input , for the overview of the differences between the two, looks like the VX2 would be better for me.

Cheers,
