Leupold Pro Shooter Doug Koenig Wins Accuracy International Long Range Classic

BEAVERTON, Ore. — Leupold & Stevens, Inc., provider of the world’s most rugged, lightweight, and clear sport optics, is pleased to announce that Leupold Pro Shooter Doug Koenig won the Accuracy International Long Range Classic hosted by Altus Shooting Solutions, March 11-12, 2023 in Baker, Florida.

A challenging two-day course of fire, the 8th Annual A.I. Long Range Classic challenged shooters with traditional positions, blind stages, defilades, unknown distances, “No Shoot” targets, and more.

Koenig won the event with his Leupold Mark 5HD riflescope, featuring the PR2-MIL reticle.

“When you’re dealing with a course of fire like that, you absolutely have to be able to trust your gear to perform,” Koenig said. “It’s why I shoot Leupold and why I shoot the Mark 5HD. There’s no riflescope that I trust more.”

The Mark 5HD redefines 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 game-changing PR2-MIL reticle that most Leupold Pro Shooters are using in competition, meanwhile, was developed with input from the country’s top competitors and professional shooters. 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.
