I didn’t realize you were by-lining here strych9. I would have liked it better if you had a “speaking” part though. I look forward to reading your actual words.
I was thinking the same thing Vic. Strych9’s personal views are more important than an ad.
Me three. Strych9 is a critical thinker who never hesitates to call BS where he sees it. This is pure press release / adspeak.
To my knowledge I haven’t written anything for TTAG since 2017.
Cool😎…except the $.
I know. Is it worth four times more than the Primary Arms ACSS 1-6X which runs around $300, or their 1-8x which runs $400, or the various Vortex equivalent? I don’t know. I certainly like my PA 1-8.
Is there really no BDC on this?
BDC doesn’t really make sense on a secondary focal plane scope since it’s only accurate for a specific magnification setting, usually the highest. I think it misses the mark because of that.
Anymouse,
Out to around 300 yards, you don’t really need to worry about bullet drop (zeroed at 25/200 yards). At 300 plus yards, I’ll be zoomed out to max magnification, where the 2nd focal plane BDC will apply. At least that’s what I generally do with my Primary Arms 1-8X.
This is interesting. I bought a new AR (again) a few months ago. Been thinking about optics before taking it to the range, but don’t care for red dots. This may be an option. I’ve preferred Leupold for decades. Nothing but good experience with them.
Hey, had no idea you were providing content here S9. Great review of the Louie 6HD LPVO.👍
This is DUA from WF.
“Reticle: Illum. FireDot Duplex” lol, no
Sig and Vortex can both make a fiber optic dot reticle with MRAD/MOA/BDC hashes. Why can’t Leupold? This thing is a non-starter for anything requiring holdovers. Don’t give me a “patrol” optic where my only non-point-blank options are Kentucky elevation and dialing.
It’s a mildly updated MarkAR/VX-Patrol SFP design but now with a mild bump in magnification but a massive bump in price.
Very nice scope no doubt…And once again for me it’s the TV commercial 3 Peas: Price, Price and Price. Actually TV Price 1 and Price 3 are the same but you are not supposed to notice that. As for the scope, it’s a Second Focal Plane and no little sunshade included for Pete’s sake. Even though 6 power does not necessarily call for First Focal something needs to justify the price tag. For that MSRP I can assemble another AR with a decent scope and with backup iron night sights, decent case, etc.
I was mildly interested until I saw it uses batteries.
Or, you could buy a Razor, unless a few ounces of weight are that important to you. Bonus, if you accidently run it over with your truck, they’ll replace it. Plenty of NX8’s around for this price as well.
Soooo… apparently I had a stroke and wrote an advertisement an optic I’ve not used…
Cool?
Well, at least it’s a US produced optic that comes with a lifetime warranty.
Trijicon and SIG have that same warranty. If it fails, it’s repaired or replaced, even for subsequent owners.
As long as they send you a check, yeah, cool.
And… confusion sets in, lol.
This is a bit of a unicorn – a quality LPVO without a freakin BDC reticle. I like it. Might have to save up for one of these.
Little late to the party aren’t they? A lot of good 1-6 and 1-8s on the market some with unconditional warranties. Good glass too. Leupold is living on their name alone at this point.
