Rifle Scopes New Leupold Reticle

No illum. I already bought my two scopes this year using mil discount. That price is stupid cheap.
Only see the 5-25 and it's out of stock.
Wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't supposed to go on there.... especially at that price. Wonder if it'll be honored for the guys that snagged them.

I'm highly suspicious because it's normal price was $600 less than the cheapest reticle they offer.
Keep is updated! Wish I saw it sooner I would have definitely tried to snag one!
How about that, a nice little thanksgiving present, thought they would take longer to bring to market. But they do need to put that on the 3.6-18 and soon.
I submitted my DD214 to their website and received an email the next day saying I was good to go for veteran/military discount.
Go to the main website and click on the Leupold Core link on the left side of the page and it will take you to the VIP page link.
They are listed as out of stock now. Regarding price, the MSRP is listed at $1999 and the TMR is at $2599 as was mentioned before, was not expecting that from Leupold, they usually charge premiums for any reticle not named TMR.
This is pretty much why I find myself in the Leupold camp now. I think are a number of scopes on the market right now that offer an advantage over comparable leupold model, There are also a number of optics such as TT and ZCO that just outclass Leupold. With that being said, I make good money contracting overseas, and I really can not justify dropping 3 to 4 grand for an optic on 4 or 5 different rifles. I can appreciate the engineering that went into some of these optics but at the end of the day, a TT or ZCO is not going to make a me a better shooter.
Seriously shocked they didn’t want $3k for a reticle since it seems leupold is notorious for that. They’ll do well in the PRS section of the market if they leave it at 2k
How do you who have experience with the Tremors 3 reticle feel it compares to this new offering from leupy?
It compares exactly the same to any non tremor 3 reticle.
They are completely different in concept and use.
Oh and......
FUCK! If only I hadn't just bought a scope like 2 weeks ago, I woulda got this one for sure. I was just assuming this one was gonna be at least $2,500-2,750.

Don't worry they will be popping up for sale in the PX in a month or two for $1400-$1500, ha!
You'll probably need to contact Leupold directly for that information. AND him getting you one goes against the rules of the Mil/VIP program.
Someone at Leupold finally realized that the 'custom shop' being closed for over a year with no reopen date actually means that its been shut down, so now they dont have to incorporate whatever retarded overhead it had into reticles/new releases.
Sorry you felt the need to submit a hurt feeling report when I said what the rules were. You don't need to patronize me like I don't know how the world works. It's people like you that fuck up special purpose programs by saying bullshit like you did on a public forum where manufacturer reps peruse the threads.
@khuber84, you sound like an entitled prick and this is why companies that help out those who serve cancel their mil/LE program. Lots of shit that happens every day isn’t right.
We don’t promote the misuse of well intentioned vendor programs.
Keep it to yourself from now on.
Thanks
I appreciate the LE/MIL program companies like Leupold and Vortex have. I try to pay it forward by telling people about their products that I use on duty and on my personal guns and promote their use.
It helps getting a break on quality gear after having to put up with attitudes like the guy above.
On point I’ll probably be snagging a 3.8-18 for my 6mm ARC build with this reticle.

It was weird. After ordered mine it shot back up to 193. Amazon does some strange things sometimes. I got the medium 35mm. It showed 8 left when I got mine.
Who is the Karen?
Homey for wanting to abuse the program?
Or me for calling him on it and reminding what the rules were?
Looking at the pictures I like this reticle and I think it will really kick ass in the Mark5. I wonder if they will make an illuminated version. If they do without going crazy with pricing, the little 3.6-18x44 Mark5 will be an absolutely spectacular crossover design.
When I say spectacular, I mean that I will buy it.
I tested two Mark5 scopes in the past (3.6-18x44 and 7-35x56) and liked them both for the money quite a lot. I think Mark 5 is a very solid design and the one think it was lacking was reticle options. This new design really helps with that.
As far as 0.2 vs 0.25 mrad goes, I remember criticizing Sightron for doing that, but with Leupold, it is a little different and it might help Sightron too.
For a small player like Sightron to go against the grain, so to speak, is very risky. However, Leupold is a much bigger company and a much bigger name. They can create their own ecosystem if they want to. They might still get burned for that, but I doubt it. They have enough brand equity and marketing muscle.

If they can somehow keep the illumination price down i couldn't agree more. Though i quite liked my MK5 when i had it and the 3.6-18x44 is definitely on the to buy list now.
$1,999 meets PRS msrp rule doesnt it? i'd bet there isn't much of a differnece in MAP between them and the others
but the PX is gonna be littered with scope now haha

Here's some info I can give you guys since I think they threw it up on their site a little early.
The PR2 will be non illuminated at this time but may be optional in the future. The problem is you need to thicken up the lines slightly in order to have enough composition in it to reflect the light for illumination.
They are releasing a PR1 version that will not have a Tree but will come illuminated and non illuminated.
I don't think the PR2 will be in the 3-18 at this moment but hopefully they do down the road. The PR1 Mil Non-illum and illum will be in both the 3-18 and 5-25.

^^^That's very helpful.
The PR2 would be a benefit to the 3.6-18 as well, especially for SPR/DMR applications, that being said, an illuminated PR1 could be a very nice crossover scope option that I could see on a hunting/long range rig. Of course, if Burris would come out with illumination and a thicker SCR2 reticle for their XTR III 3.3-18 that could give the Mark 5 some serious competition. Who will make it available first and will Leupold charge $500 for it when it's available, that could make a difference as well.
Just nice to finally see a decent reticle from Leupold.
For the curious, here's what the PR-1 MOA reticle looks like (available on Mark 5HD MOA models). I assume you mean Leupold will be releasing a PR-1 MIL in the future.
While I'm at it, here's a slightly better image for the PR-2 MIL reticle than what's already been posted in this thread.
Yessir, did not put it in the entire post but managed to slip it in at the end lol.
the more I think about this reticle, the more I like it. very easy to find 1/2 mil from a glance
