Rifle Scopes Leupold CQT
Re: Leupold CQT
The dots too large and the reticle washes out in bright light. So if you place the black reticle on a dark target in a bright environment, there is no reticle.
There is a lot of info on it if you search.

At 1X you can see the front post clearly, but the reticle appears above it (for a CQT with throw-lever mount on a 16" bbl carbine). I never felt it was intrusive, but rather like watching a wide screen format DVD for the first time. In the beginning all you can focus on is the black "frame" at the top and bottom of the screen. It's like you're watching it through a board fence. As you get into the movie you really don't even notice it anymore.
At 3X the front post is not visible.

I’ve had mine mounted on a Bushmaster A3 20 inch target rifle for a few years and have no complaints about it. Only had to change the battery once. As for the front sight post, yes it will be visible on the lower magnifications, but it fades out on higher settings. This sight picture is really no different than an Aimpoint or EOTech setup, or any other co-witness mounting.
I almost always use this rifle / optic for 100+ yard shooting, and have used it out to 200 a few times. No complaints again, from me or other shooters who have borrowed it. As the distance increases, the dot will obscure the target, so smaller targets are more of a challenge at increased distance.
I wouldn’t recommend the CQ/T for any timed “run & gun” activity due to the size of the eyepiece, which can make rapid target acquisition a little slow.

Re: Leupold CQT
A much better way to go, if you like Leupold, is the 1.5-5x Mark 4 MR/T w/ SPR ret., much nicer unit. The next step up from that is the IOR 1.5-8x If you don't care about a zoom there are several good scope's for the AR, Trijicon, Elcan, IOR 3x, etc. (The IOR 3x is a great scope for the $, $750 and has glass that is some of the best I'v ever seen and a very nice retical.)
