Ultimate AR scope?

I didn't see this scope at SHOT but I have been seeing it on the forums and people are talking about it being Leupold's "Ultimate AR Scope" Anyone had any experience with it? Retail is over $4K and I found a new one on Gunbroker for what looks like a good price:

The 1.1-8X power range seems like a good one, and I like the fact that the whole back of the scope is the adjustment knob -- no more fiddling around with the power ring.

Anyone?

Jeeeez....that's a pricey scope for an AR. Personally- if I was going to spend that kind of money on a rifle it would something high powered like a .338 LM

[Haplo]

I'd rather go for a Schmidt & Bender Short Dot for a scope in that power range, it even costs a lot less (not something usually said about S&B).

Ultimate? I wouldn't call it that.

Desireable? Most definitely, except even at that price it's lofty.

90% of the time though, it's either going to be 1.1x or maxed out at 8x.

I'm waiting for the Ultimate, Optimum, Tactical Extreme model in the Counter, Counter COUNter Sniper version.

I like the mount. What makes the scope cost that much?

I like the mount. What makes the scope cost that much?

34mm tube, front focal plane optics, special squeeze and twists knobs, 1-8 range, new power adjustment rear objective. more rugged?

I know licensing the reticle form Horus costs them some.

The S&B Short dot is only a 1.1-4x and costs $2600 with a 30mm tube. The MSRP sounds high but not crazy high.

At least you're convinced

From the GB ad:
"THIS SCOPE IS BADASS AND VERY HARD TO GET. ONCE THIS SCOPE HITS THE MARKET THEY WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO GET"

I guess there'll be fewer available after they come to market..........whaaaaa?

P.T. Barnum was right.

This one is a bit cheaper and seems to be the same thing. Its by Premier, but not sure if its available.

That scope is silly. The S&B will be out soon and cost much less.
Leupold is price gouging for a military contract.
The new SFWA 1-4x is a better choice, for overall use at $800
Heck even my MRT 1.5-5 is a better value and it's a Leupold!!
did I say that scope is silly?
that scope is silly.
it's a silly scope.
Really silly.

It is a good scope. Tried one last May on a PWS Mk2.

Is it worth $4k? May be. Haven't used one enough to conclude.

[Solidsnake87]

Meh, I'd take the equivalent Nightforce.
