ICTKC's Review of Leupold VXR 1.5-5x33mm Scout FireDot Duplex Scope
Haven't had it in the field yet, but the optics and electronic controls are superb! The automatic shut off on the Fire Dot is a definite plus. I have had other Red Dots that did not have this option and forgot to shut them off causing the battery to run down. This one is easily controlled for on/off as well as intensity. The down side is that it doesn't fit well on a Marlin 1895 with the picatinny rail (XS Lever Rail) as the eye relief is compromised when the high magnification is used. This is due to the ghost sight not allowing the scope to move rearward. However, the scope still works by straining yourself forward. The optional dust rings present the major issue as they won't open due to the height of the ghost sight. Nobody at Optics or Leupold can advise which QR mount, if any, works. I installed the low (everybody recommends low) but reordered the High as the Med still doesn't look like it will be tall enough. Not sure if I'm ever going to get this combo to work and still be able to use the iron sights, which is a shame.
