Steve,
Any updates?
...and could you drive over it a few times and shoot it with a gun! :clap:
-18c for 8hr seems to be pretty extreme.

Steve,
Anything new to report???
I ran into a Leupy rep at Cabelas about two weekends ago. He thought the BX-4 would be shipping in another week.....

Who knows? I thought I had some handle on these, but I guess not. Have not seen one yet. Calls in to Leupold. Sorry I could not get into this before now, but time has not been my friend lately. Long days and out of town.
EDIT: My Leupold guy just called back. Maybe this time I'll get one. When I know more so will you folks. However the review might not be here. Frank and I are working on our own site, and the review might go there...depending on ...stuff.
Steve:
Its good to see a post from you. I'm sure you've been busy this year trying
to keep the crop watered.
It seems delays are common throughout the optics industry.
Better to get it good, than to speed up one that was not ready.

That has to play a large part in the issue. However we seem to see all sorts of instant gratification type early product release announcements, far, far in advance of the product actual appearance, in just about every retail field. For instance the latest and greatest big deal new smartphones often are not available for months after they are announced.It may be because all the stuff is farmed out to someone else to build these days?

I really think that the deal Leupold wanted to do with the move of the diopter from the right barrel to the center focus turned out to be a bigger issue than anyone figured it would be. So if that's the case then I am glad they made the decision to do it right (at least I hope it will be right...I'll know that when I finally see one). We see far too many prototype product releases as regular run items when they need another prototype stage or two before they get released.
