    New LPV's from anyone for SHOT '16?

    Anyone? I haven't heard hardly a peep about ANYTHING for SHOT '16? Is it going to be uber lame again, or is it that everyone is keeping their mouth shut this go around in hopes of it being awesome? Or did I somehow miss a new LPV about to come out from anyone? (subject of this forum/thread)

    It'd be nice if leupold would make a 1-6 patrol firedot with some kind of turret lock. Or a pst in 1-6.

    Sell it for 600- 750$. That would be a happy day. Instead they seem to want to focus on 1800- 4000 , dollar optics, or cheap nc star level optical quality.

    I really really like the razor. Hate that it weighs one metric ton.

    Don't understand why it's so hard. Make it weigh less than 17oz. Give it good illumination. Give it vxr or pst type glass that's not shitty like some of the other lpvs. Give it a decent reticle. Make it not cost 2 or 3 mortgage payments..... Why is this so hard.....

    Not newly released, but by SHOT 2016 it looks like the Bushnell ET1625DP will finally be available.

    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.

    Elcan just released a 1-3-9 optic. Can't speak to qualify as I stopped following them when their 1-4 had issues holding zero. They may have worked that out by now.

    5.56: https://dsgarms.com/atitfov139-c1

    7.62: https://dsgarms.com/atitfov139-c2

    ETA: and for $2900 I won't be partaking.
    Before you suggest that licensing, background checks, or other restrictions for the 2nd Amendment are reasonable... Apply those same ideas to the 1st and 4th Amendments. Then tell me how reasonable they are.

    An added bonus.... You can use it to anchor your boat with. I have often wondered why someone doesn't make a 1 or 4-6 scope because the variable feature is worthless in a LPV but 1.9 pounds without a mount kills it for me.

    I would not bet the farm on it, but I think there is a very good chance we will see a Nightforce 1-6x or 1-8x scope at SHOT and later on a Geissele scope mount for it .

    I've heard the same re NF. There have already been stories and photos regarding Geissele scope mount - it is just pending commercial release.

    This is the one I've been waiting for.

    A couple of different major optics companies have told us that they're about to release some big stuff for the tactical shooter and one company strongly implied they've got a new LPV that will interest everyone, but nobody's given up anything concrete, and definitely nothing that they'd want leaked.

    The only real reason I think it's moderately likely is that I haven't heard half as many rumours as other years, when I've usually been disappointed.
    Full disclosure: I'm the editor of Calibre Magazine, which is Canada's gun magazine. In the past I've done consulting work for different manufacturers and OEM suppliers, but not currently. M4C's disclosure policy doesn't seem to cover me but we do have advertisers, although I don't handle that side of things and in general I do not know who is paying us at any given time.
