BEAVERTON, Ore. — Leupold & Stevens, Inc., provider of the world’s most rugged, lightweight, and clear sport optics, is pleased to announce that international Leupold Pro Shooter AJ Deysel has won the National Rifle League (NRL) Hunter South Africa 2024 Heavy Division Championship.

Deysel won back-to-back matches–the Hatchet Hunter shoot and the 2024 NRL Hunter South Africa Championship shoot at Multech Ridge Range–to end the season and take home the top spot in the season log.

Like his teammates around the globe, Deysel uses a Leupold Mark 5HD riflescope in competition.

“In an NRL Hunter match, you’re very rough on your rifles and gear. You’re moving and building positions under time constraints, in rough terrain. I often grab my rifle by the scope on every stage. Each time, even at the furthest limits, the Mark 5HD performs flawlessly,” Deysel said. “Coming into the final two matches of the season, I was at a disappointing 26th position on the championship log. I took a step back, changed my mental approach, and was able to secure two big back-to-back match wins to end the season and win the Championship–it was incredible, and so was the Mark 5HD.”

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.

The award-winning Mark 5HD line 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 Mark 5HD is designed, machined, and assembled in Leupold’s Beaverton, Ore., factory and guaranteed to perform for life.
