Glad to see Leupold offering some new products. Wish you had prices listed.

Daylight illumination? A 1-6 with the same form factor as the current 1-8 would be excellent. Also if it’s not 4 grand.

4

FFP only? What is the “too thin” reticle solution for 1x?

5

I wonder why they are only using a 20mm objective lens when they have 34mm worth of tube to work with.

I read somewhere that the 1-6’s were suppose to use the Fire Dot illumination.

6

I would assume the horseshoe of the CMR reticle and red dot on the mil-dot/H-27 would be the 2nd focal plane element like the red dot of the current CQBSS. Notice Mark 8 CQBSS 1.1-8x24mm (34mm) M5B1, Matte, Illum. Front Focal H-27D says FFP and it’s the same as the current Mark 8 CQBSS (probably exactly the same optic).

7

I hope they have an option to put enclosed adjustment caps on the CMR reticule. I would get a 1.5-5x20 with the CMR if it had enclosed caps.

8

Are they going to have .1mrad adjustments available?

Mark 8 3.5-25x56mm (35mm) M5B2, Matte, Illum. Front Focal H-58

Yes please! I’ve actually heard from those folks at the LaRue range day that these were on a few guns, and were VERY nice.

If they can avoid pricing them like the CQBSS then they could have a huge hit on their hands.
