Very nice. The only issue for me is that it says the eye relief is 3" -- so it mounts in a "normal" scope position, and will be sensitive to cheek weld position.

The beauty of red dots is that they are so flexible and forgiving. Very useful for fast target acquisition.

But the Leupold's are great glass, no doubt about it.

I'm also playing around with low or no magnification handgun scopes, sometimes they have very open eye relief capacity (like 9"-20"), allowing the shooter to keep both eyes open and quickly get on target.
