Question about CQBSS

[USGILT]

Just talked to Leupold -

The following ballistic rings for the MK8 CQBSS are available:
DIAL, ELEVATION,.1 MIL, 7.62mm, 175gr, M118LR, METERS, MATTE
DIAL, ELEVATION, .1 MIL, 5.56mm, Mk262 Mod 1 DODIC AA53, BDC (USMC Data)
DIAL, ELEVATION, 5.56 mm, 70 gr, 14.5 in, METERS, CQBSS, MATTE
DIAL, BDC, ELEVATION, 5.56mm, 77 gr, 14.5 In, CQBSS, MATTE

Looks like the CQBSS is dropping the MSRP on the 1.1-8 for 2012. They will now start at 2999.00.

I noticed that news, and I'm wondering if that's a reaction to competition being around, the fruition of their various efficiency improvements, or what.

Also, this leads me to believe that the Mk6 might actually be under $2000 WITH the features we all want from it. Unfortunately, I don't see much gain in sustainable sales with the new $3k MSRP on the Mk8.

Borrowed this from Snipers Hide, a Leupold press release on the CQBSS as to why they have lowered the price.
Probably has a little to do with the S&B and PR are about to release their 1-8 as well.

For those running the CQBSS, what mount are you using? The Leupold or others?
