Is the 10x40 just not compatible with glasses at all? Can you roll the eye cup up or something and use it that way with glasses?

I think it mostly depends on how close your eyeglass lenses are to your eyeballs. Eye relief is 0.7" or 17mm. If your glasses aren't really close to your eyeballs, you can't get the scope close-enough to your eyes.

Tried the eye cup but didn't like it so I took it off. Really don't have to use it.
Side note. Did anyone else notice the cross bolts that are only half as thick as the full round cross bolts twist under torquing? I tried to torque down my mount and the cross bolts that are flat on one side of the shaft just kept twisting like a corkscrew. I was only using 15-20 in/lbs. Popped them out of the mount and used the solid screws and all tightened down as it should. They were very weak.

I wish the Imersive optics had a rail option for dovetail like MTC does. Picatinny only for IO.

Nice. I wanted to use the IO 5x24 on my huntsman but opted for it on my taipan instead since it already had pict scope rail.

Hate to loose the view as that is why I’m considering one of these. Still significant improvement over other options though? Longer eye relief may be worth it with my glasses? They don’t even bother with an eye cup?

Yes, the "Pro" versions are disposing of the rear eyecup and ship with a proper flipcap in the back.
FoV is still comparably massive.
For comparison:
IR 5x30 -- 12y @ 100
IR 5x30 "Pro" -- 10.2 @ 100
Leupold fixed 4.5 -- 8 @ 100
Leupold fixed 6 -- smidge under 6 @ 100

Glad to see these are finally out. Especially glad with the FOV and weight specs. IO had initially emailed that the LER model would weight about 100 grams heavier than the standard model.
I hope they offer it without the mount. Ideally I'd have one on a lower QR ring. But I suspect I'll own one regardless.
That's an impressive FOV for >3" eye relief. That's more FOV than other 5x prismatic scopes like Vortex, Primary Arms, etc. And I think they all have less eye relief as well.

Yeah, the specs are pretty great, especially the modest weight gains.
I keep going back and forth --- they're non trivially more expensive and I'm happy with both of mine, but in both cases I'd love to move the scope forward : /

@Larcat & anyone else interested - here are some comparison pictures of the new 5x30 Pro with the original 5x30 (not mine).
The size difference makes me a bit skeptical of the ~1 oz gain bit that's not a huge concern of mine.
And the extra length will make it easier to get proper eye relief compared to the Dedal.

I know they both say 5 x 30, but in the first photo the objective of the pro looks considerably larger.

No. Copied those pictures from the UK forum.
Poster didn't really give any impressions of it.
That ocular bell might interfere with the R2D2 head of a Leshiy2 given my preferred low scope height. But still intrigued.
