Leupold & Stevens, Inc., provider of the world’s most rugged, lightweight, and clear sport optics, is pleased to announce that its Pro Shooters combined to win the top three positions overall at the K&M Kahles Precision Rifle Competition, held May 27-29 in Finger, Tenn. The K&M Kahles PRC is a stop on the Precision Rifle Series Tour and a PRS Pro Series AG Series Qualifier.

Leupold team members Francis Colon, Derek Webster, and Chad Heckler took first, second, and third, respectively. The field was comprised of more than 250 shooters, including 38 Armageddon Gear Cup competitors. The event is held at the K&M Shooting Complex and draws those from across the country who wish to compete against the nation’s best professionals, military operators and the many new shooters who are just joining the discipline. The course of fire challenged shooters with engagements ranging between 50-1,200 yards on steel, reactive, and automated moving targets. Most stages included stress factors like required movement and limited engagement time.

“The field at K&M is always packed with some of the best shooters in the country,” Colon said. “To succeed there, you’ve got to have the best gear possible–and there’s a reason why Derek, Chad, and I chose to work with Team Leupold. The Mark 5HD is the best long-range precision riflescope available, hands down.”

Colon, Webster, and Heckler all run the Mark 5HD riflescope featuring Leupold’s game-changing PR2-MIL reticle.

The Mark 5HD has been crafted to redefine accuracy, precision, and optical performance for long-range shooters. Pick one up and you’ll feel the difference: it’s up to 20 ounces lighter than other scopes in its class. Get behind one and you’ll see the difference, from its superior edge-to-edge clarity to its extreme low-light performance. With three revolutions of elevation adjustment, the Mark 5HD was made to max out the performance of the latest long-range rifles and ammunition. It features Leupold’s Professional-Grade Optical System, which offers unmatched light transmission that’s designed to outperform in the most challenging lighting conditions, industry-leading glare reduction for a clear image in harsh, direct light, and the resolution and clarity that professional guides and shooters demand in the field.

The PR2-MIL reticle, meanwhile, was developed with input from the country’s top competitors and professional shooters, the PR2 reticles are specifically designed for long range speed and precision. Two styles are available: the PR2-MIL and the PR2-MOA. They are available in Leupold’s Mark 5HD line, in both a 5-25x and 7-35x configuration. Designed to excel in competition, the PR2-MIL reticle puts the best possible long-range competition reticle in the best long-range competition riflescope on the market.
