Re: Leupold Care Package Arrived

I see they finally got the TMR on the M5 illuminated. Very good news.

Re: Leupold Care Package Arrived

The M5 / TMR is not illuminated the Mk 8 M-TMR is...

Oops. I thought that bottom box went with the scope pictured. I didn’t look closely enough.

Re: Leupold Care Package Arrived

I'll be patiently awaiting the results.

Re: Leupold Care Package Arrived

Don't care about illumination, still don't know what the draw to that is. I love my 8.5-25 Mark 4 M5 TMR and seriously jealous of the 6-20 Mark 4 M5 locking turret!

Re: Leupold Care Package Arrived

I am really looking forward to the reviews! I am really interested in the HAMR optic, and the 34mm 6.5X20 locking M5. Interested to see if the 34mm tube provides any more elevation adjustment.

One more thing, did anyone by chance see or have have used the new Mark 4 spotter 20-60X80?

Re: Leupold Care Package Arrived

Will be interested to see if the reticles are canted. That particular lack of 'manufacturing tolerance'/QC on the part of Leupold has always bugged the shit out of me.

Re: Leupold Care Package Arrived

Also looking forward to the review eager to see how it matches up per say to NF, USO, etc.

Apples and Oranges. The 5-20 SS is a $1500 30mm scope. The 6-20 Mark 4 is a $3000 34mm scope.

Re: Leupold Care Package Arrived

Just because the price and tube size are apples and oranges doesn't mean the actual performance will be.

Re: Leupold Care Package Arrived

Take that 1x8 and beat it up, I am looking forward to a good hard review of one of those.

Re: Leupold Care Package Arrived

I've gotten a lot of care packages over the years, but never one that nice.

Actually the military/LEO pricing for the Leupold(non-illuminated standard TMR)is a couple hundred more than the SS, also note the Leupold was purpose built for a particular military contract. A comparison of the glass and tracking between the SS and the Leupold would still be interesting.

Oh good, let's make this even more apples to oranges. Let's compare consumer retail cost of one scope to the special LEO/Mil pricing of another. That makes complete sense!

Yes I know, the XM2010 contract for the updated M24's in 300 Win Mag. Gov contract of not, I quoted consumer pricing of a consumer available scope.

LL....

Does the 6.5-20 have a Horus in it? That's all I've been able to find so far.
