NEW Leupold LCO optic

Is that thing as huge as it looks?

That's what she said.

"What you are seeing is a small 6 power optic with..."

It's an optical illusion with the optics so close to the camera and the dude's crotch so far back in the frame.

It's like a DBAL with a Surefire 6P flashlight bezel on the side of it. Not too big, but then, not small. The one I looked through wasn't acog clear/bright, but it was as good as most sub-$1K scopes I've looked through.

I was expecting a marvel in optical engineering with the LCO......looks like an offset ACOG. Unless I'm missing something, the only thing different here is that the magnified optic is offset vs. the RDS. They did manage to reduce the size of the 6x optic.

That's unfortunate, I usually measure things by comparing them with dudes' crotches.

I believe you are. Read back through the thread, as it is explained that you do not have to move your head to use either. The 6x optic is offset, but the exit pupil/ocular lens is below the deltapoint red dot. It is most likely using prisms or mirrors to allow this. but both optics as far as the eye is concerned are inline with the bore like a traditional scope.

I think there will be significant clarity in 2 weeks.

The comparisons to ACOG are especially hard to swallow. Have you guys looked through an ACOG? It's a battery of optical sin mounted to a carbine.

Sorry if I missed this but what is the expected price?

Looking forward to see whether or not the concept and hardware perform as promised.
