New RMR from Leupold, Deltapoint 2

Looks like a winner. I’ve been studying RMR’s and the new Deltapoint 2 scores several strong upgrades:

  1. you can change the battery w/o removing the sight. (This issue kept me from buying a Trijicon or Deltapoint previously)
  2. an on/off switch to save the battery for storage or prolonged transport.
  3. manual brightness adjustment which can override the auto setting
  4. new lens coating to reduce “bloom”

Of course they just came out with a new and improved version. I just recently bought an RM06.:wink:

My only gripe with the RM is having to remove the MRDS to change batteries. The battery lasts so long that its not a real big issue. My best friend has been running an RM01 (non-adustable and cannot be turned off) on his Glock 17 for over a year and a half and he is still on the original battery. My Insight can also be changed from the top which is handy when the time comes.

Looks nice and the new 3.5 MOA dot option is a nice touch. The motion sensor is pretty handy. I have a Leupold VX-6 with the same sensor and its a nice feature to prolong the CR2032 in it if you’re at the range all day or forget to turn it off.

What is more important, looks like Leupold removed structural weak point in sight body. This weak point could lead to sight literally break in half when mounted using mount that was not perfectly flat (like factory dovetail mounts delivered in 11-mounts kit).

I will be excited when they have a non exposed LED.

Finally.

I mean, hell, how long were they going to listen to use bitch?

i wonder how this new rmr will stack up against the current offerings when mounted on a slide… i hope manufacturers are catching on to this new trend and designing an rmr that doesnt break after however many rounds.

Anyone have any idea if the Leupold Deltapoint 2 will work on the M&P CORE? Same dimensions etc as its predecessor?

Anyone know if this is coming out anytime soon?

Should be shipping now although I haven’t seen one yet.

Yes. Leupold says the new DP2 and the cheapy Redfield dot share the same mounting pattern as the DP.

  1. with proper mounting loss of zero is nill

2.the rmr 06/07 have an off feature

  1. rmr has manual override and auto adjust feature in the 06/07 units

4 not sure about that

  1. True but still a PITA, especially if you don’t have tools on hand. All RMR’s could use this improvement. I like the price point of the delta point much better than the Trijicon, so the improvements are welcome.

SWFA apparently has them in stock:

What mounting options do we have for a co-witness AR mount? ADM makes a QD mount for the Insight MRDS and the Trijicon RMR but not for the Leupold. The only thing ADM has that would work is a mount with a short section of rail that appears to be their answer for a universal mount.

Any dedicated DP options out there?

I called : They will gladly take your order but not in stock as of Yet : I learned that the hard way when I bought a scope from them. It took 2 months to arrive. When others had them In stock already:

I called Leupold earlier this week. I was told July.

and here we are in October…I still can’t find these in stock! Anyone have a source for them in stock ?

Nope. I have one ordered through Leupold.

I read on another forum from an SME, that the DP2 had been shelved indefinitely.
