New Rifle Scopes of 2023

Field & Stream has the details.
From my perspective, the new Bushnell scope fills a niche, i.e., a high power FFP scope with a large objective lens for taking in light, at a reasonable price. The Crimson Trace scope does not. Who needs a 1-10X28mm tactical scope for a price of $649?
I’m most interested in the German Precision Optics reflex pistol red dot sight. It’s targeted towards pistols, but would be good for tactical or turkey hunting shotguns as well in my view.
F&S says it has a battery life of 25,000 hours, while GPO says it has 40,000 hours. The price point is good at $379. It’s a good competitor to the Trijicon RMR.
But when they says new, they mean new. I haven’t found availability of this new optic anywhere.
One final question remains, and that is the footprint. According to GPO it has the Leupold DeltaPoint interface. This source says that Leupold DeltaPoint is compatible with the RMR footprint, while this site more assertively states that it has the RMR footprint.
If any knowledgeable reader has this optic or the Leupold DeltaPoint optic, and can confirm that it can be installed over the RMR footprint, that would be appreciated.
