I was thinking the same thing, a top tier Leica in this category was expecting around $3500, but there is massive competition at the $3k level so maybe Cal was able to convince them to lower the price to entice shooters to give them a try, the "more bang for the buck" idea. We'll have to wait and see once we can get them in hand.
Loved that design by Kahles, it is brilliant to include inside the battery cover, I hate going to the range and then digging around my bag for that little hex key
Leica says 1st week in February. We are accepting pre-orders
Are these made in Germany, Doug?
Thanks @Covertnoob5 = good intel. Sounds like you have used the scope. How would you rank the optical quality? Leica binos are absolutely stunning glass, both 10x and 15x models. You can put the 15x up against many high power spotters and it hangs right there. Also, how would you describe the ruggedness of the scope? Would you worry if you banged it on a rock?
I just looked at the scope in person. It honestly looks nice, and checks a lot of boxes. The eyebox appeared to be forgiving at the typical 15-20x.
The tool-less turrets look good, not as seamless as on a TT though. And while you can re-zero without tools, you still need a tool to adjust the clutch for your actual zero stop, as @Covertnoob5 mentioned.
Like I mentioned before, only having 1 mil above horizontal is a deal breaker for me. As much as the rep wanted to convince me that he’s never needed it in his however many PRS matches, and that Austin Orgain is a better shooter than me (he most definitely IS) and he doesn’t need it, I use it in my shooting style. ??

4 mils above would be sufficient. That’s what their non-Xmas tree reticle has. I went into way more detail on my style of match shooting in previous posts, but yes long range hold unders and spinners are two specific examples where I prefer to have the option of using a hold under greater than 1 mil.
That's what I'm hoping Jack, that Leica is pricing this based on the market they are competing with and not because they dumb'd it down in order to meet a price.
At a reasonable price too.

This is not always the case, while some manufacturers prefer to keep as much as possible under wraps, there are ways of finding certain things out. For example, not many companies do not want you to know where their scopes (or certain models) are OEM'd, but we find out that LOW makes scopes for Vortex, Bushnell, Sig, etc. We can also find out where scopes are manufactured by the country stamp on the scope, so if the Leica PRS were to have Japan stamped then we know it's probably not to the quality of the Magnus and so forth. So while what you say is probably true to a point some of this information has a way of making itself known over time.
