Leupold Delta Point Pro as main AR optic?

dehughes · Jan 31, 2017

Hi all,

Question....I'm looking at "something different" for an AR optic....have run Aimpoint Pros with success, have two, but am building a lighter/simpler/less-is-more mid-length 16" AR and was considering running a Trijicon MRO until I came across the Leupold Delta Point Pro. This rifle will be the house rifle as well as my "take to the range and shoot close (100 yds and in) and fast", tactical-type rifle.

Has anyone run this as their main AR optic? Any pros/cons I'm missing? I held up the MRO and the 7.5 MOA triangle reticle Delta Point Pro, and thought the field of view was similar yet the Leupold was far less cluttered in terms of overall view.

Thanks in advance.

I have a AR with the HAMR/Delta point combo as well as one with just a Burris FastFire III. With the proper mount I think the Delta point will be great (gotta get it up off the rail, Burris makes a mount that would be great for the Burris, not sure if the Delta point mounts differently)

Excellent. Thanks.

How is the Deltapoint in regards to its auto-brightness, auto off/on functionality?

It always works, I've had it a couple years and it's still on it's first battery

I have and use one as a back up/CQB mounted on top of my ACOG, other then the increased height, it works amazingly well for me, have had it about a year, still on the original battery I would definitely add another to another system when I get around to it!
