While this has already been talked about, the final contact has now been awarded, with the most notable change being that NSWC CRANE did not want the Larue component, and instead will source a part themselves. Check out the link for more info.

Leupold originally submitted their Dual Aperture Gunsight Riflescope (DAGR) in response to the Navy’s solicitation. NSWC Crane liked the the Mark 6 and the Micro T-1 configuration, but chose to replace Leupold’s secondary optic mount, made by LaRue Tactical. Instead, NSWC Crane will source a T-shaped bracket for the Micro T-1, along with the Micro T-1 itself, directly from Aimpoint and assemble the ECOS-O in-house.
