U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- Leupold & Stevens, Inc., provider of the world’s most rugged, lightweight, and clear riflescopes and reflex sights, is pleased to announce that Leupold Core Team Members Jon Pynch and Matt Hornback took 1st and 2nd place, respectively, at the National Rifle League’s Bighorn Steel Classic, held March 13-15 in Nehawka, Nebraska.
A two-day event, the Bighorn Steel Classic featured shooting distances from 200 to 1,300 yards, with strict limits on caliber selection and muzzle velocity. Both Pynch and Hornback run the award-winning Leupold Mark 5HD 5-25×56 on their competition rifles.

If you’re planning to compete in the long-range precision field, it’s the scope you want on your rifle.”
The Mark 5HD has been crafted to redefine accuracy, precision, and optical performance for long-range shooters. Three models – a 7-35×56, 5-25×56, and 3.6-18×44 – are available in both milliradian and MOA configurations. 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.
“From the beginning, the Mark 5HD project team set out to deliver riflescopes that had all the features long-range shooters have
