Leupold & Stevens, Inc., provider of the world’s most rugged, lightweight, and clear sport optics, is pleased to announce that its Leupold Pro Shooters dominated Precision Rifle Series (PRS) events on both coasts the weekend of March 23-24, bringing home multiple honors at both the Snake River Standoff in Mountain Home, Idaho, and the VPRC Rifleman’s Revival in Rocky Mount, Virginia.

Five Leupold Pro Shooters finished in the Top 15 at the Snake River Standoff, including Nick Gadarzi in 1st place, Dan Bertocchini in 4th Place, Derek Webster in 8th Place, and Morgun King in 9th Place. Seven Leupold team members, meanwhile, finished in the Top 15 in Virginia. Francis Colon finished in 1st Place, Patrick Youngs in 5th Place, Chad Heckler in 6th Place, Ken Sanoski in 7th Place, and Lauryl Akenhead in 8th Place (as well as 1st Place in both the Ladies and Production Division).

Each Leupold Pro Shooters use the company’s award-winning Mark 5HD riflescope.

“I ran the Mark 5HD 7-35 with the PR2-MIL reticle at the VPRC Rifleman’s Revival,” Colon said. “It provides unmatched versatility, magnification, and optical performance wise, when you’re shooting targets that are between 250 and 1,200 yards. The critical element in the Precision Rifle Series is spotting impacts and misses precisely–otherwise you don’t know what kind of adjustment you need to make. The difference between first- and second place is usually just one shot out of 200. Having the features necessary to make every shot count is invaluable.”

Leupold's Mark 5HD riflescope delivers superior edge-to-edge clarity and extreme low-light performance, while the versatility of its multiple reticle options will give you an advantage at the range or in the field. With three revolutions of elevation adjustment, the Mark 5HD scope was built to max out the performance of the latest long-range rifles and ammo.

Developed with input from the country’s top competitors and professional shooters, the PR2-MIL reticle that Colon and many Leupold Pro Shooters use are specifically designed for long-range speed and precision.
