Leupold Mark 4 MRT Power Ring handle

[mildot]

Well I've been surfing some of the AR picture threads. I noticed a few scopes with a large handle to adjust the scope power very quickly. Where are these available?
Anyone have good pics? Cheers

I have a MK4 1.5-5 and I was thinking the same thing.

USMC03 has one he might pop in and tell us.

Yea, I saw that. I read in a post that LaRue was making them?
The one I saw in the picture was a little "cleaner" line wise.

I saw both and R&R and a LaRue, pretty much side by side, in the Leupold (mil/LE) booth at Shot Show.

I'm sure both will perform their intended function just fine. IMO, the LaRue was a little more slick/smooth/styled. YMMV.

I read the LaRue quit making/selling them when he found out the R&R guys were already selling their product. I read that here: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=2&f=219&t=166808

That thread has a pic of the LaRue lever:

Yea I sent them a email, maybe there one "hanging" around on the bench?

Shit!

So the guy with the "better" lever stopped selling it because an inferior product was on the market already??

I understand and respect the thought process for LaRue to not step on the little guy, but it appears to me that, in this case, the consumer got the short end of the stick, as the LaRue unit appears to be MUCH better.
