Leupold offers retical calibrated for 300 AAC Blackout

Tactical Guns Review has a look.

This is huge. Like I have said of recent, we can probably stop calling the 300 AAC a wildcat cartridge because it is now clear that it is here to stay. A bunch of manufacturers are now officially behind the Blackout and there will be many rifle chambered in this caliber in 2012. For Leupold to be jumping into the mix, its a great sign, and maybe a hint that the military contracts may soon be coming.

Leupold Vendetta Bow-Mounted Laser Rangerfinder

Now this looks really, really cool. Leupold has come out with a laser Rangefinder that attaches to your bow.



I deer hunt, but I am not a bow hunter so I cant really say if this is just the newest wiz-bang that has been dreamed up by the marketing team or if this really is a game changer. Basically, you just point your bow at the deer and this thing automatically calculates both the shot angle and the distance. Thats one less step in ranging and shooting that buck, so it sounds like it might be a big improvement.

$240 out-the-door at the link above. Full specs after the jump.

Leupold introduces new tactical scopes

AR15News has the full coverage.







In 2011, the Leupold Tactical Optics Division has launched innovative riflescopes including the Mark 4 6.5-20x50mm Extended Range/Tactical (ER/T) M5 Auto-Locking Adjustment model, the Mark 8 1.1-8x24mm CQBSS and the Mark 4 High Accuracy Multi-Range (HAMR).  The U.S. Army has chosen the ER/T M5 Auto-Locking Adjustment riflescope as the primary day optic for its newest sniper rifle, the XM2010.  In addition, Leupold recently contracted with the United States Marine Corps (USMC) to supply the CQBSS for use with M2 heavy machine guns and MK19 grenade machine guns.  The Marine Corps sight will carry the M521 designation.

These all look awesome, and if anyone at Leupold is listening, I'll take one of those HAMRs please!
