Price estimate was what around 2000-2500? None the less ready to see everyone start reviewing them.

It was a neat little scope, I cant wait to get my hands on one.

Interesting. Any pics of the reticle? Illuminated?

Does it have illume or ZS?
Looks like a great all around scope.

i love the idea of having a 3-18 in such a small package. i know leupold is stepping up there game a lot, but....im still a little hesitant to drop over 2 grand on one of their products. at that price range theres just too many options

For a shorty build that scope would be great though. Whats the weight.

Re: SHOT SHOW: LEUPOLD MARK 6 3-18x44 video
We were told that the first release of the 3-18 would be non illuminated followed by an illumnated version
I am pretty sure MSRP was 15-2000 for all Mark 6 options
street price would be less

What would you have liked to see differently, or what was your biggest objection. I'm not compensated in any way buy Leupold, and really have no emotional stake vested in it other than they make stuff here.. just curious?
I look at it as a brighter/tougher/higher-mag alternative to the 3.5-10's I've been running on my suppressed recon carbine for years with little increase in size/weight. In fact, it's shorter than the 3.5-10mk4 if I am not mistaken.
Great for an SPR build IMHO.

Re: SHOT SHOW: LEUPOLD MARK 6 3-18x44 video
This scope looks to compete at least in specs with the Nightforce 3-15 F1 scopes. Pretty cool Leupold is stepping up their game. I would be curious to see the reviews of the eye box and durability. Its nice to have another option that is made in the US.

I agree, and this is a larger tube with IMHO "better" knobs and shorter. I think it would have more light based on my review of the Mk8 CQBSS optic... so far the best glass I've ever seen.

Re: SHOT SHOW: LEUPOLD MARK 6 3-18x44 video
Best glass you've ever seen eh? They must be making some kind of stride in the market, thats impressive. I like the new turret designs also. FFP too right? If it's anywhere around 1500$ it's a steal. And i for one will jump on it. They could have a real winner if it's priced below the NF F1 and has better glass and still all the features to compete.

Re: SHOT SHOW: LEUPOLD MARK 6 3-18x44 video
Well, I don't have any field time with the 3.5-25 Mk 8 or the new Mk 6's, but my experience with the Mk8 CQBSS is that, well.. I'm affriad to say it.. it's the best glass I've ever seen.

Re: SHOT SHOW: LEUPOLD MARK 6 3-18x44 video
What would I like to see different? Price!
I love the concept of the scope, but for $1,600 I'll go with something bigger, e.g., Nightforce. I guess smaller doesn't mean cheaper. Leupold will eventually lose money on these and they will be discontinued. Give me the same glass as in the mark 4 at $1,200.

I know its weird to see leupold doing that well now but even Frank's review spoke very well of the Mark 8 CQBSS and the 3000$ Mark 4 with the pinch lock turret IIRC. More competition the better, especially if this Mark 6 series is their intermediate tactical scopes between the old mark 4s and the high dollar mark 8s.

If the glass is anything comparable to the Mark 8 CQBSS and is around 1600$ has FFP, Zero stop, matching turret/reticle, 34mm main tube, and illumination. You wouldn't be willing to try it out over the 2200$ NF F1?

How would you guys compare the glass in these new offerings with European glass?

From the other thread:
"Mark 6 1-6x20mm (34mm) 7.62 M6C1, Matte, Illum. Front Focal CMR-W, $1,949.95

As far as Leupold having sales, good luck. Mil/Leo pricing will probably be there though.

Re: SHOT SHOW: LEUPOLD MARK 6 3-18x44 video
Hard to say indoors, but the CQBSS I reviewed may be the best glass I have ever seen. No kidding.
http://tacticalgunreview.com/2011/09/13/leupold-mark-8-1-1-8-cqbs-review/
We had a truckload of good glass out there, Primeir, USO, S&B, Kahles, IOR, etc.. and set them all to 8x and lined them up next to the CQBSS and all looked at each other shaking our heads in disblief. No joke, it's amazing glass.
The reticle of the 3.5-25 may be my new favorite due to how it illuminates brither in the center, then two gradients of dim/dimmer for the mil-marks in the Horus reticle.
Sorry for the poor quality pic, best I could do at SHOT at the moment.

Re: SHOT SHOW: LEUPOLD MARK 6 3-18x44 video
I don't doubt that it is good. You have to get out and use it for awhile to really know how good it is though.

Re: SHOT SHOW: LEUPOLD MARK 6 3-18x44 video
true
and you can't judge glass indoors really
need to get out and test at extended ranges, see how the glass deals with mirage, low light (seen LOTS of scopes that looked great in day just fall flat on their face as the sun starts to drop)

Last I heard scheduled market release is June.
2 things I think Leupold is messing up on, 1. They are not promoting these new optics very well at all to the general public and 2. their pricing for dealers compared to their .mil discount makes it a tough sale. I can't help but think they don't want the general public as customers.
