It's the Black Rifle gods secretly telling you not to cheap out.  




Buy cheap buy twice.

To answer your question OP, I believe LaRue ran out of the magnifiers.

Yikes,

Way back,  when we bought a big mess of 'em ... I told everyone it was a limited deal ...
...  and it appears that drum of them is now empty.

FWIW, you can still buy the LaRue LT649 mount and I believe CTD still offers the "Panzerfaust" sight for $15., still complete with the original tank ranging reticle.  LaRue had a batch of them sent off to have the tank reticles scrubbed off and the tubes nitrogen purged.

One word though.  Everyone advertises it as a 2.5X when in reality it is just a 2x magnifier.  The field of view is not as great as a true 30mm tube but the quality of that German Hensoldt glass is amazing considering its age.

I got one of the rangefinders from CTD, that and a 30mm to 1" adapter ring set( rings need to be opened up slightly, the Pfaust rangefinder is 26.4mm dia. I used 120 and 240 grit sandpaper wrapped around an appropriate sized deep socket) work quite well. The Hensoldt glass is amazing in its clarity.....
I put a Bushnell Trophy 1X-28 red/green dot in an LT150 with the LT649/Pfaust rangefinder behind it on my Spikes ST-22.... makes for a pretty nice package.

Makes me wonder what it would take to remove the reticule any purge them myself. They are so cheap, I could get a few and experiment...
