Has anyone heard anything about Leupold's 3.5-10X M1 Illum (mildot) #53368 being discontinued, and replaced?

I heard this rumor from a dealer I've done very good business with.  He wasn't sure if they were just going to do a minor tweak, or a larger change.

I have a [b]"reliable"[/b] source that says Leupold will be discontinuing the
part number of these items, but they will still be available...  They are
making some "changes".  Obviously, for the better.  And this requires a
new part number...

Do you have any idea what the "changes" are?

Worth waiting for the new version, or buy an old version?

The other scope I was looking at was the 4.5-14X50mm M1, which is a new scope...

After the wholesalers show ends this weekend, more information will be available...I wish I could tell you more, but I can't. The changes are for the better and I think you'll appreciate the upgrades.

I can think of two right now.  Make the freaking know harder to turn as I just burned out a battery and make the freaking batteries last longer.  Make the reticle bright enough to see during the day too while your at it, Leupold.

MidwayUSA sent me an e-mail a few weeks ago saying that the entire Vari-XIII line is being discontinued.

New lens coating, better light
transmission, more 30mm tubes, more side focus's, new adjustments, more tacticals.
