The sight itself is not too bad and I like the concept. However, the recticle is not that great. Essentially, it is a 5MOA donut with a 0.5MOA dot.

I could imagine it will be pretty good for close range stuff. In my opinion, a donut that is 1/4MOA is way too thick for a good sight picture at 200m +. The 0.5MOA dot inside the dot is barely visible.

IMHO, they should have made a 1.5MOA dot and stick with a thin horseshoe. Battery life is still around 300 hours or so - pretty medicore.

On the other hand,the weight is quite reasonable, and I like the illumination switch that could be turned off in between settings.

Still not the perfect sight.

Leupold is really trying to take the combat optic field by storm it seems. Lets hope their new items are top notch, it will be tough to beat trijicon as they are battle proven.
