Kyle Lamb introduces us to the Leupold Mark 6 1-6x20mm illuminated optic. I couldn't get Leupold to say it, but it's clearly a less expensive alternative to the optigasmic Mark8 CQBSS that could hit the market at around $1500 (It seems the rep from Leupold misspoke...) it will cost $2440. It's got a huge rear objective and when dialed out to 1x, its hard to believe you're looking through a tube at all. This is an optic that is going to appeal to the 3-gun crowd and the LEO community right off the bat. If it proves as durable as Leupold claims, it could find its way on to the battlefield, as well. The MK6 features Leupold’s typical bright glass wrapped in a strong 34mm main tube. Inside that body is a new CMR-W first focal plane illuminated reticle, available calibrated for 5.56 or 7.62 NATO. Rounding out the package are locking windage and elevation turrets with tactile and audible feedback on their 2/10 mil-per-click dials.
Price: $2,440.
Available: April.
