Warning, Will Robinson.... this is an unconfirmed rumor!!
Yesterday I visited a large local shop that has maybe a bazillion (slight exaggeration) Leupold scopes on display. I was in the market for a Leupold Mark AR scope with a FireDot. They didn't have any. And they said they cannot order anymore Mark AR scopes. They told me that they thought all the Mark AR scopes, and many of the "tactical" model scopes for ARs were going to be discontinued, with new models replacing all of them after the first of the year.
Additionally, they said they heard that the Mark 4 line is going to be aimed only at military and L.E. sales, and offered by special order only. I'm sure they'll have something similar for normal civilian sales, but they had no further information.
Anyway... it's all rumor, but I thought it was interesting. I have a safe full of Leupold scopes and I'm really curious to see what they come up with.
Remember - rumors are likely worth what you paid for them!
