Its tough to use back up Iron sites when you have to get out your torque wrench to use them.

It looks like they fixed some of my complaints with the CQC.

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

hmmmm

 

[supersix4]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

I read on another board that the price tag maybe $2600

Nice catch.

ARs simply call for QD mounts/bases.

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

$2,600 Ha. Good luck getting that.

Yes, I am aware of QD mounts.

still wondering about quality and durability...

 

[jerseymike]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

wow, it looks like leupold stepped up their game a bit, but for 2600!!!! id rather stick with a S&B short dot.

the knobs look a bit slippery too, compared to sb,uso and nf, but thats just by the looks, maybe it actually is "grippy"

+ eleventy billion

 

[supersix4]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

I am pretty skeptical giving luppy 2600 bones for any of their scopes.... USO et al have a better track record.

 

[eleaf]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

Wait a second. A guy makes a remark that he read the price of $2600 on another board, didn't provide a link for "verification" (as if an online forum can really be used for such), and we're now making all of our comments based on the price that has not been substantiated in any way shape or form?

Wow.

 

[Luvman]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

mk4's go for around 1300 or so, I'd bet they're twice as proud of this one.

if it is 2600 I doubt it'll fly off the shelves.

it is speced out pretty sweet though

 

[glock24]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

Also know that an exorbitant amount of the cost (no matter what it is) goes to pay for that goddamn Horus reticle.

Here's to wishing the 0.1 mil turrets find their way onto the Mark 4 models.

 

[Switchblade]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

The worst part is, most people who would get issued a scope can't even use the knobs correctly without a three or four day school, then they just say,"Shoot, I'll just set it for 100M and use it that way since I won't be shooting past that anyway. Besides, I can always move up or down if it's closer or farther"(in my best Soldier drool voice).
Out of ten people who I try to explain MOA, or mil dots to, one understands, the rest just glaze over...

 

[neo223]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

too much money.

 

[Snape315]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

This scope looks pretty darn good.

I read somewhere that the upcoming Premier Reticle 1.1-8X will also have a price tag around $2600. Now, NEITHER of these prices have been confirmed as far as I know.

Either way, this scope looks pretty impressive and I'll be looking forward to getting either it or the PR once a detailed review is available.

 

[Vereor]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

I've used the prototype. $2K or a bit more is what it's looking like. It is an awesome setup. A couple teammates and I were talking about the things that we wanted in a low powered variable for the recces, and how manufactures listen to people that don't have a clue when they design optics. The only one that was truly sound was the 1.1-4x ShortDot. We wanted 1-6x or 1-8x, FFP, a daylight visible dot using "Flashdot" technology, Mil turrets, zero stop, and a minimalist reticle (bonus if it was Mil based) that does not clutter the view at low power. Two weeks later I was holding the prototype CQBSS in my grubby mitts!

It is the year of 1-8's. S&B has a 1.1-8x ShortDot as well as Ziess having one. However they are going to be off the charts expensive.

 

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

That's some cash. Maybe us poor kids can pick up some nice used S&B Short Dots for sale

 

[Starvin]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

I'm glad to see the very low to medium magnification scopes evolving. I've been wanting one of these but none really had everything I was looking for.

I'm pretty shocked that Leupold is actually comming out with something competitive rather than just relying on their name and ability to secure gov contracts. I was completly underwhelmed with the stats on their prototype 34mm MK4.

I'm interested to see all the different offerings that come out of shot show and what actual street prices will be.

 

[Watch_this71]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

In that same thread on Lightfighter if you look farther into the thread, there is a post with a phone number for sales and the price info. He called Loopy and they quoted him a price of $3800.

Lightfighter seems to be dead. Message says their account was suspended.

 

[gunsmithcat]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

premier does have a new 1.1-8 scope, msrp will be 2900.
3-8 power it will use FFP Gen 2 cqb ret.
1.1-3 power it will do some sorta hokey pokey switch magically to SFP with projected red dot.

That's one of the prototypes, the actual production scopes won't be that nice (just kidding). I looked through one at the SHOT show a couple days ago, it was the most un-Leupold Leupold I ever saw. It's pretty hefty, but all the 1.1-8x scopes are big by necessity, and the reticle was very nice. The red dot wasn't working right, it bloomed at higher magnifications, but maybe that's some neat feature I didn't realize. S&B and Premier also had 1.1-8x24mm prototype scopes at the show.

The Premier scope has a Hall-effect switch in the magnification ring. As you increase the magnification from 1.1x, at some point (roughly 3x) the red dot turns off and the Gen II reticle is illuminated instead. IIRC, the red dot is in the second focal plane and stays the same size, while the Gen II is in the first focal plane.

$3800 on the CQBSS, that's got to be either a bad joke, misinformation or that CSR is having you purchase two units, one for you and one for them, lol

?

 

[BIGGLEE0351]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

It looks like a very nice scope with all the "bells & whistles". The big question (besides ACTUAL price) is going to be the quality. Leupy's quality has been slipping (to put it mildly) in the last few years. If they can bring this scope to market with the same quality that made Leupy such a popular scope and then put a realistic price tag on it, they'll have a winner. If not, they wont be selling alot of units.

 

[Mumbles]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

Any new info on this? Anyone gotten any more hands on with one?

 

[KM375]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

Any word on this scope? is it worth the hype? I am looking at the SB and the PR 1x8 as well

 

[LAR Dragoon]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

Does anyone know what happened with this scope?
Does Leupold have a contract to make them for a service branch?

 

[KM375]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

I got a note from Leupold and they said they were filling orders for the CQBSS. SWFA said they should be receiving some perhaps in Jan

 

[LAR Dragoon]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

I looked for it on their site and could not find it, thought they had pulled it back.

Where is it?

 

[happyhuntinggroundky]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

I just got the very first one available from Leupold!! It is the best thing since sliced bread!! After a long period of use, I will post more.

 

[toygunner]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

Can I ask what do they cost?

 

[RSR]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

You can buy one from these guys for $5499!

[SuckitTrebek]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

It's about time they followed up the abysmal cqb with something. We'll see if this sucks ass or not too.

But naturally the price point looks to be ridiculous

 

[KM375]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

Probably wont be getting one at 5K I'll keep looking till the price settles a little. It should be close to the SB and PR at some point. Even the March 1x10 does not cost that much.

 

[JSTARSZ]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

it looks to be a very nice scope and for someone who did buy their 1 x 3 CQT this is a huge step-up by Leupold. But, the price range is making it more for the military and not for us poor working slobs. If they go over 2K it will be a low selling product to the public...2K is ridiculous to me. In all my priority to buy items at that amount of money it would be so low on my buy list I would never get it.

 

[LAR Dragoon]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

Sounds like an excellent opportunity for SWFA if they decide to offer their scope in 1-8x24, 1-4 definitely will not work for me.

 

[happyhuntinggroundky]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

These guys are showing the proposed recticle. The one I just got has the R-TMR recticle. Leupold says the H-27 won't be available till 1st qtr 2011. It will run about $600 more than the one I have I am told. If you want one you can do much better than these guys price. Just let me know and I might be able to help you out.

 

[Bolt_Overide]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

5k....?! Not a snowballs chance in the burning pit of hell....


Anyone have any real, verifiable pricing information on these?

 

[happyhuntinggroundky]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

That is list pricing. If seriously interested, you can do MUCH better. Save 40 - 50 %.

5K is abnormal.

Is there any shop which sells them in March 1-10x scope price range - $2500-$3000?

I spoke with a Leupold product manager, this is aimed at military contracts period.. they don't care if they sell a single one to the civilian market

understandable from a business point of view

wonder what their plan B is, if .mil picks another vendor.....

 

[ccoker]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

well, if they are smart, they won't produce many, just enough to guage interest, send out for testing etc.. if they get a PO, well, they build a big batch of them

 

[frankythefly]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

There are 4 new leupold Mark 4 coming out, SWFA is selling all of them including the one in this forum in the near future perhaps Dec10-Mar11. I thought it wouldn't be until June next year but who knows anything anymore. Sort of Like Vortex PST wait, and wait, and wait...

However the prices are crazy...really crazy,

 

[frankythefly]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

Oh yeah all the new scopes are 34mm except the HAMR ones (30mm), Leupold also doubled the wall thickness of the scopes from the 30mm ones, still unknown how much more elevation adjustment but heard rumors that it was close to 36mils on the 6.5 X 20x 50. I heard these where a big disappointment in terms of glass quality at the last shot show too and that the new turrets that you squeeze to turn are kind of weird, does anyone have any hands on experience with these?

 

[KM375]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

Is Premier or SB going to put the H27 in their 1x8 scopes?

 

[One-Eyed Jack]

Re: New Leupold CQBSS?

Mile High Shooting posted that you can order the H27 in an S&B 4-16x PMII as a $500 upgrade.
