There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

For $2,200 I would expect more battery life, a lot more, like Aim Point level moreusing a single AA battery for a 700hr run time

Re: Trijicon VCOG
Trijicon is so behind the times, about the only thing they have going for them is that they use decent glass. I have not handled this thing first hand so I will hold back on passing judgment but, its a 1-6 scope with a built in mount......wow....... 
Tha means that the mount options are limited, thats just what I desire in my scopes! I bet you money that the Vortex razor 1-6 HD will smoke this thing at half the price. I will admit its a step up from the ACOG, but the ACOG has been outdated for 10 years. They are going to have to do more then slap there name on something to get my money.

Um... This is basically a more magnified version of the Leupold CQT, only it cost twice as much. So I think I'll pass on this one

got to agree with you and SoL on this one.
Running the CQ/T on my 6.8mm SPC 20" and have the Vortex Razor HD Gen II on my SCAR 17S, finally. For the money, that Leupold does not seem to offer any stellar features (and some cons, as SOL pointed out) for that price.
My two favorites from the list of features:
-First focal plane reticle; reticle subtensions and drops remain true at any magnification.
-4 in. constant eye relief through all magnifications.
But still not enough to get me to drop that kind of cash on it over other options out there.
