It\u2019s very large and features a premium aspheric lens that provides a crystal-clear, distortion-free sight picture from edge to edge. The red dot also features a super crisp and bright reticle, and you have four options that you can swap between: a simple 1-MOA dot, a dot with compass points, a dot with a 65-MOA ring, and a dot with a 65-MOA ring and compass points.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"The rear view of an FDE Leupold LCO Pro F2 showing its circle and compass reticle.\" class=\"wp-image-302299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"The rear view of an FDE Leupold LCO Pro F2 showing its circle and compass reticle.\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-302299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/gundigest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/leupold-lco-pro-f2-reticle.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>The LCO Pro F2 also offers unprecedented levels of brightness adjustment with 20 daylight and 10 night vision settings.
