First Look: Leupold Freedom RDS Black Ring

I don't run any optics on my firearms, but do have a pair of Leopold compact binocs that were a gift from my wife, and I've had them for a number of years. They're 10x23 power, and rubberized for waterproofness. After looking at the Leopold site, I couldn't locate that style or power, so I wrote them via email, and they replied. The person at Leopold stated that they were a discontinued model, but if I ever had any problem with them that they had a Lifetime warranty, and to contact them. Good stuff 👍

And that is first class customer service.
 
I've been on the fence for a while. Been looking at the Aimpoint Pro and the Leupold freedom RDS. Watching reviews, reading specs. Aside from actually shooting the sight with birdshot or using it as a bludgeon, I think they compare favorably to one another.
So after reading this review about the black ring, I looked it up on Ebay. Found the original (last years) with the gold ring very affordable. I got one on it's way. I can live with a shiny gold ring, it's not like they changed out their signature turret cap. I'm no operator, just a fool who likes to shoot. I'll share my experience when I have some.
 
So, I got the red dot last night in the mail. So you know. As I write this, ebay 329 brand new in the box. 350 taxed and shipped to my door. BDC and included mount.
Secured it to the top rail, the dot sits right on top of the front post. It looks sharp, fits great. The mount is rock solid. Uses 3 torx screws (wrench included) the outward appearance is really nice. IMHO. The red dot , on its lowest setting is plenty bright and crisp, on the highest, it borders obnoxious. This may change as the battery weakens.
Now for the downside. The objective lenses is very shiny, almost mirrored.
I've looked for shades and glare reducers, haven't found any yet. So there's that. It doesn't have motion on or shake awake. You simply press the battery cap to wake it up and again to shut it off.
I really like it, for what it is and what its supposed to do, I think I got a quality piece with a lifetime warranty. Can't wait to get a break in the BS so I can put it to the test.
Oh and I've read that the only difference between the one I've ordered and received and the "black ring" is the black ring.

That's why I said,"waiting for a break in the BS" I really wanna get out and try it.
Here in the people's republic of Illinois it's a little harder to get out and enjoy our rights.

Move South or to a red state my friend, we enjoy our firearms freedoms , Low Crime, Low Taxes, Low cost of living and housing. We have several free 100-yard ranges in the state and national forests you can shoot sun up to sun down for free here in South Carolina, But the Big Cities here are mostly s h i t holes run by Democrats and they have 99% of the gun crimes go figure.

It's the same here. With the exception of shitcago, the rest of the state is predominantly RED. But we're outnumbered at the polls by dead people, unions, and gimmegrants. Those people literally get bussed in to the polls.
I just had to delete 4 paragraphs cuz I got so far off topic onto a political rant.
