Why did Leupold discontinue the LCO?
The Leupold LCO red dot sight was discontinued due to its high MSRP, lack of popularity, and Leupold's tendency to abandon experimental products. Key technical flaws included Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) causing flicker and internal reflections, while its night vision performance was mediocre. The D-EVO offset prism scope and HAMR were also discussed as less successful experimental optics.
