Description
Swampfox took what worked with the original Patriot and sharpened it up for round two. The Patriot II 6-24×50 rides on a 30mm 6063 aluminum tube and runs a full 4x zoom ratio, so you get real reach from mid-range steel all the way out to distance work. The 50mm objective pulls in plenty of light for those first-and-last-light windows when game tends to move, and the fully multi-coated, anti-fog, hydrophobic lenses keep the picture clear when the weather turns on you.
What sets this model apart is the Clean Cross MOA reticle. Instead of a busy Christmas tree grid, you get a duplex-inspired crosshair with just enough subtension marks to range and hold without the visual clutter. Because it lives in the first focal plane, those hash marks stay true to target size at any magnification, so your holds are correct whether you're cranked to 24x or backed off to 6x for a closer setup. If you're newer to long-range or just prefer a cleaner look downrange, this reticle makes a lot of sense.
Dialing In With the Patriot II
The capped elevation and windage turrets adjust in 0.25 MOA clicks and keep your zero protected from bumps, brush, and the occasional bounce in the truck bed. Side parallax adjustment lets you tune out the shake at distance, and the fast-focus rear diopter brings the reticle into sharp focus for your eye. It's a straightforward setup that rewards a shooter who likes to dial and confirm.
Built to Take a Beating
Swampfox leaned into durability here. The corrosion-resistant aluminum body is made for rough rides and hard climbs, and it's backed by the Swampfox Limited Lifetime Warranty covering manufacturing and material defects, with 10-year coverage on electronics. This particular model is the non-illuminated Clean Cross MOA version, keeping things simple and reliable for hunters and precision folks who want honest performance without paying premium-tier money for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Patriot II 6-24×50 a first or second focal plane scope?
It's a first focal plane (FFP) scope, so the Clean Cross reticle grows and shrinks with the magnification. That means your ranging marks and holdovers stay accurate at any power setting, not just at max zoom. It's the setup most long-range and precision shooters prefer for exactly that reason.
Does this version of the Patriot II have an illuminated reticle?
No, this specific model (PAT2624MC) is the non-illuminated Clean Cross MOA variant. Swampfox does offer illuminated Patriot II options with 12 brightness settings if you want that, but this one keeps things simple and battery-free. For most daylight hunting and range use, the black reticle stands out just fine.
What's the difference between the Clean Cross and Clean Tree reticles?
The Clean Cross is a duplex-inspired crosshair with a cleaner, less cluttered look, while the Clean Tree adds a holdover grid below center for more hold points. This model uses the Clean Cross MOA, which is a great pick if you like a traditional sight picture and prefer to dial your turrets rather than read a busy grid. Both are built for simplified ranging.
What kind of rifle and shooting is the Patriot II 6-24×50 good for?
The 6-24x magnification range and 50mm objective make it a strong fit for long-range target work, precision rimfire, and hunting rifles chambered in cartridges like 6.5 Creedmoor or .308. The 30mm tube and 0.25 MOA turrets give you plenty of adjustment for reaching out to distance. It handles range steel and backcountry hunts equally well.
