Does this particular scope have the capped turrets or the open ones? I believe the older ones used to be capped but the new releases are not.

Technically all turrets have caps. Some scopes require removal of the caps to adjust the reticle. This scope has turrets that are adjusted by turning the cap itself. See: http://www.leupold.com/tactical/scopes/vx-r-patrol/vx-r-patrol-1-25-4x20mm-30mm/ and http://www.leupold.com/hunting-shooting/scopes/vx-r-riflescopes/

The VX-R Patrol models have always had open turrents. The standard VX-R has capped adjustments.

Only the reticle (cross hairs) from the eye piece. The object (view) could not be. I have been told by a friend that some scopes have another adjustment on the other end that adjusts range focus (I'm not sure about that). Honestly, I am not sure if mine was not just defective, or just too cheap for proper focus. I my case I wanted a scope that was useful at a distance that was further than I could simply use open sights. I mean why else buy a scope?

The one I have does have lockable turrets ,which was on of the features I wanted it also has come up lines so you know how many times u have passed zero...I wish ithad a zero stop but other than that it has worked for me great...

If it has the option of an illuminated reticle( which mine does) it will take batteries. I actually dont know which kind. I havent had to change them in the entire 2 years i had it. But i never really use the illuminated function. I can tell you the batteries are the small disk shaped kind. And they go right in the first top turret thats closest to your eye. Sorry i cant be much help. Also the optic came with the batteries.

It has a illuminated center dot that lights up red. Very nice to have. I've had scopes that had the whole reticle light up and it was way too much goin on in the scope and it would drain the battery way too fast. The center dot is simple effective and great on the battery. Plus with the crosshairs you won't even need the dot about 90% of the time.

Yes, it is open. I have no problem looking thru the rail below the scope and can see the front and rear sights clearly. I did have an issue with my handguard, it was too high (too large a diameter) so the gooseneck portion over the handguard wouldn't fit down all the way. Had to switch to a handguard with a smaller overall diameter to get the gooseneck extension to fit without interference.

I don't know I sent mine back after I found out the turrets don't lock on this scope even though they say it does

Now that you mention it, I don't think that mounts came with the scope, however this is a great scope, I own two now.

There's a few. The APT has a mil dot reticle while the APV is duplex style. The APV has a 1 inch tube, APT has a 30mm (30mm is larger, more light) and the APT has a 44mm objective lens over the APVs 40mm (more light again). Another difference is the APT has exposed turrets for quick windage and elevation adjustments while the APV is capped.

The turrets on a rifle scope are the protrusions that house the adjustment wheels of the scope. ie; up and down --- left or right. For protection, they are covered with a screw cap. The annotations denote how far the adjustment is. Generally, one "click" of correction results in the movement on a target at 100 yards equals a quarter of an inch.

Mine does but that's because its the older generation. I believe the newer version does not have this future. By the way for the money it is a pretty good scope and I can get 1 MOA at 500 yards.

Among other things APT has mil-dot, windage and elevation adjustment knobs are different APT has fully exposed turrets, the APV has capped finger, APT has 30mm tube, APV 1" (not sure it translates to anything really, or just marketing gimmick for more expensive version).Check here http://muelleroptics.com/mapv451440 and http://muelleroptics.com/mt451440

Hi KC, Sorry l gave you the wrong scope info for one of my three ones. The one you are asking about has top, left and right mil-dots. I would send a picture but don't know how. Sorry about that. It is a great scope.
