Didn't see this posted anywhere. Leupold announced the Deltapoint 2 red dot sight. Appears to fix the problems with generation 1. Battery accessed now from top. Adjustments by Allen wrench instead of reverse Torx wrench. Has power button in addition to automatic sleep. Same clear glass as before. Not supposed to be shipping for a few months. I liked generation 1, but its shortcomings kept me away. I'm look forwarding to seeing the new one in person.
