New LPV's from anyone for SHOT '16?

Well thanks for that Captain Obvious. Regardless of why they are there, they are required to know and understand the products that they sell. I would also expect the AP engineers to do their homework. It is not designed to replace a LPV, but it has its place, even if you don't agree with it.

1-6.5x 24mm objective, with an FFP etched reticle and an SFP daylight-bright dot at the center. Locking target turrets, 1/10th mil clicks. It's definitely heavy at 23 oz though. With an Aero Precision mount it'll end up around 26 oz. Cost of the optic looks like 1499 online, with time and some coupons it'll probably end up closer to 1200 USD.

Does it have the newer turrets or the older plastic capped ones? That's my only real beef with the Bushnell 6.5x. Does it still have that silly fold down throw lever like the $200 scopes? I have been waiting for this model for a couple years and the .MIL/LEO price last year for this model was supposed to be $1050.

It looks like it has the same turret design as the 1-8.5x24mm ET18524 optic. It looks like it still has the weird folding throw lever but seeing as how no one seems to actually have a production unit it's hard to say what the actual unit will be like.

I know people with the 1-6 and 1-8.5. They are nice scopes, but the 1-8 is particularly heavy. They have good things to say about the glass, though.

Yea thats been in bushy media for the last 2 years. It was supposed to be released over a year ago, but I think they had issues with the DFP. Alpha Landingham who was bushnell's military/leo rep gave me the price a while ago.

I figured there may have been a redesign or something since they are taking forever to release.
