I know my vx3i 10x could do with one at shooting beyond 400 ish yards

Personally Id prefer parallax, I have a 2.5-10 scope with parallax adjustment and use it all the time.

Any ideas when these will start coming in here?

Would have liked to have seen a higher magnification LPVO like a 1-8.

Leupold doesn't appear to want to play in the LVPO market, other that their lightwwight hunting models.
They don't even offer the Mark 6 1-6.

The LPVO market is pretty saturated so not sure can blame them for staying away.

Yes I’d like parallax too. But for short ranges under 30m. You can wind down the magnification but I find it annoying when the target is blurry at 10x.

Other points:
For hunting the reticle needs to be easier for snap shooting. Eg plain mil dot with 5 mil from centre to each thick post. For practical target shooting its not so critical. The medium and thick posts are a good idea. It is still hard to count out 3 1/2 or 7 mils from the centre under a time limit. Big and small hashes would stress out my brain. Im talking about the first gocal plane model here. Mil dots are a waste of space with second focal plane.

I grabbed a MK5 3.5-18 due to size and weight - absolutely awesome even against my NX8
