The Leupold Patrol 6HD Gen 2 1-6x24 CDS-ZL2 Illuminated CM-R2 (Model LE185607) is a high-performance Low Power Variable Optic (LPVO) engineered for rapid target acquisition and versatile performance in dynamic environments. Featuring a 6:1 zoom ratio, this optic transitions seamlessly from a true 1x magnification for close-range engagements to 6x magnification for mid-range precision. Built around a 30mm maintube, it offers robust construction while remaining exceptionally lightweight at just 473 grams (16.7 ounces), minimizing the overall weight of your rifle setup. The second focal plane (SFP) illuminated CM-R2 reticle features a daylight-bright horseshoe and center dot, powered by a standard coin-cell battery, making it highly reliable in the field without requiring complex electronics.

• Professional-Grade Optical System: Delivers elite light transmission, edge-to-edge high-definition resolution, and advanced glare reduction under harsh daylight.
• CDS-ZL2 Elevation Dial: Equipped with Leupold’s Custom Dial System and a push-button ZeroLock (ZL2) mechanism, allowing two full turns of elevation adjustment while preventing accidental dial movement in the field.
• Motion Sensor Technology (MST): Extends battery life by automatically turning off the reticle illumination after 5 minutes of inactivity and immediately reactivating it upon movement detection.
• Electronic Reticle Level: Features an integrated anti-cant electronic level that flashes when the scope is canted, assisting shooters in making level, precise long-range shots.
• Guard-ion Hydrophobic Coating: Specially treated lenses shed water, dirt, and oil to maintain clear visibility in adverse weather conditions.

Who It's For:

The Leupold Patrol 6HD Gen 2 is designed for shooters who require immediate transition capability between close-quarters speed and mid-range accuracy. In the Australian market, this LPVO is highly suited for dynamic action matches, tactical shooting disciplines, and fast-paced hunting environments, such as tracking feral pigs or hunting deer in dense thickets and scrub. Its lightweight profile makes it an excellent match for Australian utility rifles, including bolt-action, straight-pull, and pump-action firearms. Because it operates purely on a standard DC coin-cell battery for reticle illumination, it has no mains power requirements and is fully compatible with field use across Australia's diverse climates.
