Question about CQBSS

Tactical Gear Optics & Mounts
1

You guys think these will be coming down in price any time soon? Is $2750 the cheapest you have seen?

I seriously doubt that you will see a lot of price movement on these in the near future. IMO these were not intended to target the civilian market so any sales they get there are an added bonus. Couple that with little to no real competition from the other high end makers and it’s not looking good. Maybe if S&B or Premier get theirs out you might see some, but even then I doubt it. I think Leupold’s move in the civilian market is going to be the Mk6 line up. They would be silly to drop the Mk8 down close to that line and cannibalize any of those sales.

This is what I was thinking. I appreciate the feedback. What did you think about the second question?

4

No real clue. I was excited about the 1-8 when the rumors first started to fly, but when the price was announced I pretty much stopped looking. No way on this earth that I could even consider dropping that kind of coin on a scope, or anything gun related right now. I solved by problem by reallocating the RMR intended for my Glock and putting it in an offset mount. $60 spent on a LaRue ring half was more my speed. Sorry…

Last I heard, S&B’s 1-8x is going to be in the $3,500 range, not the $2,500 as originally thought.

If that is the case, I wouldn’t expect Leupold’s price to go anywhere.

Leupold has the Mark 6 coming out, which looks to be $1500-1800 and is probably a better option given the limited exit pupil of the 1-8x scopes.

There are LE/Mil discounts to be had on the CQBSS if that applies to you.

But $2750 is the cheapest I’ve seen, and is the old LE/Mil price when they were $4,000.

Thanks man. I really want the 8x, don’t ask me why, but I just can’t settle for less right now. It is going on a Scar-H.

7

I would consider a 2.5-10x or even a 3-9x with a RMR/RDS on an offset if you didn’t want to wait.

8

You know, I will start looking at that option. I do like RMR/RDS sites. Thanks

Google Leupold Mk6 at shot show its what you want its like the CQBSS but it cost half the price.

10

And a daylit reticle…

11

You will have to google it I dont know the awnser to that. KevinB might know he has been testing one.

12

Kyle lamb made a point to highlight the daylight visible red dot in his coverage at shot show

13

So the CQBSS 1.1-8x is not daylight illum? That is pretty stupid IMO.

14

There are two versions. The tmr version doesn’t have an illuminated reticle. The Horus version does.

15

I can’t believe the TMR version is not illuminated. I prefer the TMR over the horus, but I did want it to be illuminated. Thanks Titleist

16

I would agree, TMR with an illuminated dot would be a winner.

17

I cant wait for the Mk6 with the H58 dont want lum dont need it.

18

Both versions are illuminated. The Horus one is said to have some type of “holographic” technology, which causes the circle dot to light up.

IIRC, not the whole TMR lights, just the center crosshairs.

Only the Horus one is daylight bright.

19

Interesting. Can’t believe that the TMR is not daylight bright. Are they working on fixing that? The MK6 looks cool, but I need more magnification!

You need more than 1-6? what are you looking to do? I run a 1-4 and have no issue out to 800M. More power would be nice but weight is a factor in my selections.
