Rifle Scopes MK5 HD 2-10x new reticles coming?

Stupid thing is the H27D is very very close to being ideal.
Take the centre and horizontal bars, add the PR2 tree and you have a excellent reticle.

I hope Leupold is going to pay me royalties for my new reticle design.

I would've bought the thick bars closer to the centre, but so long as illumination is strong enough this should be a nice reticle.
Just too bad it took them 18months to bring this out and are charging an extra $200 over the illu. TMR reticle.

If they put this in the Mark 4 2.10 and sold it for around $1200-1400 that would be amazing.

Interesting reticle, I like that it’s a 0.5 mil for speed / simplicity but of course I’m only seeing that they offer it with illumination for another $500 haha

No surprise there, Leupold is convinced hefty up charges for illumination is what the market wants. Been doing it for years now even though every other major mfr has done the opposite.

Mark4 is a 4x erector. So it would only be a 2-8.

It's 2.5-10. I'm sure Leupold will keep the reticle a premium only option in the MK5 for at least a year.

Based on the Team Sniper, Mil, MARSOC, etc comps i've seen, this reticle is a win in the MK5. Cover the body or head with the horseshoe will get you impacts out to 350 with the average 77gr dope. Pass that then you're in the tree for better target picture then dial for your smaller targets.

I like the new reticle. The 2-10 is more attractive to me with that one than with just a TMR.

Still not sure I wouldn't rather have the 3.6-18 though

Has there been a release date for it? I've got some matches in May and I would like to get one.
