Leupold has gone crazy. I don't even try to find what I want in their cumbersome lineup. They're trying to rush out something to compete with everyone else's something. They need to pull back from that frenzy and build good quality scopes again.
The market has been taught that big tubes and turrets for their sniping at Bambi are absolutely necessary. If you're not shooting ears, feet, and asses off Bambi at two miles, you're a Fudd and have no business getting in the sniper's way. It's a lot like what happened to the PU Truck. If it's not a rolling mainframe, satellite controlled, it's not adequate, and neither are you.
They might consider building reliable set it N forget it scopes like the VXII and VXIII with a couple fixed power scopes in that range and build an UberGlass Panzer Class 30 or 34mm tube behemoth, dripping in bells & whistles.
Also, why do we need every type of reticle a graphics expert on acid can dream up?
