Throw levers are become quite common with the latest scopes which is nice as are a great idea.

Sorry I was wrong before, it is odd they haven't made it a 24mm obj lens as that is the normal size for a 30mm tube LVPO.
There could be a mistake in midways specs, or it could be that the VX3hd/Mark3 scopes is mostly just a rebranding/rehashing of the same models they've been selling for the last few decades.

I'm sure they will be good scopes but Leupold really aren't pushing any boundaries as far as technology goes.
