Leupold Delta point pro opinions - PARTS ARRIVED

[Soulcousin]

I have the non-pro Deltapoint, (7.5 triangle) and there has been some sport in getting it configured for my 1895GS. Firstly, the mounts on the receiver made the sight too high for comfortable cheek weld. I didnt even try shooting it as such, it was that bad. Next, I knocked the rear sight out of its dovetail groove, made a tapped dovetail insert, grabbed an adapter from the kit, and mounted the sight there. It looked and felt much better, so I went to sight it in. Problem is, I ran out of vertical adjustment on the sight due to the taper of the barrel- best I could get was 6" high at 50 yards. So now I've made a shim to put between the adapter and the barrel, but haven't had a chance to install and try it out yet.

It is a worthwhile project though, and I hear that the DPP doesnt need to be dismounted to change the battery- mine will. Oh well, I caught it on sale at WSS, and if this doesnt work out I'll put it on a pistol lol

Well the Leupold finally arrived last night. So I bolted it up to the QR American Defence base, and put it on the SBL. Cheek weld seems to be similar to a scope, you don’t have to lift your head off the stock. I like the option of QR so I can pop off the sight if I so choose. Not sure when I’ll get some range time, but hopefully soon. Here’s some pictures.

Looks superb with that red dot. Really like mine. I got the same sight on my 10/22

I put one on my Krieghoff SxS, 30R Blaser, my only beef is it isn't an integral low profile QD mount, other than that it works just fine for my purposes. Do believe Basspro still has the best price I've seen on it up here. I like the FOV, glass is good, Batt location is great, adjustments could be a bit finer, but, they work.

How does that Delta point work for someone with astigmatism?
