NEW Leupold LCO optic

**gamewarden** · 10-11-14, 07:15

Saw it in Viking Tactics latest training video. Anyone have any intel? It seems to be a RDS with a fairly small footprint. Kyle does a fairly good job of hiding it.

Pure speculation on my part but looks like some sort of holo site like an Eotech XPS. It appears from the video to be roughly similar in size and shape to the XPS maybe slightly smaller.

It would be pure tits if it had an etched reticle for those with astigmatism.

No kidding, my keratoconus makes it so I can just about only use ACOGs for illuminated optics.

I know why you say that, but wouldn't that defeat the purpose of a holo sight. Being able to be at any angle as long as you can see the reticle it is "on target" within reason

Eotech and Aimpoint already dominate that field. The etched angle would fill a niche for people who otherwise run mini ACOG's but would rather true 1X and battery power to prevent washout.

If Leupold could resolve the shortcomings of the EOTech, it could be a potential game-changer.

Don't they already make something like that with their prismatic sight?

Why 1x if it's not going to be parallax-free? Why not 1-4x or something like that?

Even with astigmatism, does the Aimpoint really hinder your ability to out rounds on target? My T1 dot looks like a spider, but I've managed to make hits on 18" plates to 700+.
