Anyone know about 2006 Leupold Optics?

Word is, that the 50mm scopes will have a "divot" in the bottom so that you can mount them lower to the barrel. Thus the "eclipse". I guess it's a good idea, and props to them for being brave and going out on a limb. The divot will not look any different when looking through the scope. May be interesting to see how well they seal it. Might be a little more expensive to cut the glass in this shape as well. Not a bad idea, but might not be the amazing innovation that people were hoping for.......
