Leupold® Custom Shop Offers VX®-6 Multigun 1-6x24mm Riflescope



Leupold® introduces the VX®-6 Multigun 1-6x24mm riflescope featuring the illuminated FireDot™ Special Purpose Reticle (SPR®), and now available through the Leupold Custom Shop.

With its powerful 6:1 zoom ratio, the VX-6 Multigun delivers the speed of a zero-magnification red dot at its lowest power setting. At its highest power setting, the scope pulls distant targets in tighter for more precise shot placement. Unlike many higher power scopes that deliver their best sight picture only at each end of the zoom ratio, VX-6 is engineered to deliver exceptional image quality from edge-to-edge of the visual field at any magnification. With an MSRP of $949.99, the VX-6 Multigun outperforms many higher priced optics.

2012 Bianchi Cup winners:

Open

1. Doug Koenig: 1920-182x
2. Richard Siebert: 1920-159x
3. Andrea Moroni: 1918-173x

Metallic

1. Robert Vadasz: 1878-135x
2. Bruce Piatt: 1877-145x

Production

1. Vance Schmid: 1887-118x
2. Enoch Smith: 1885-123x
3. Rob Leatham: 1879-127x

Women's Division

1. Julie Golob: 1907-144x
2. Jessie Harrison-Duff: 1902-153x
3. Tiffany Piper: 1879-143x

If you understand the way the scores are shown, you appreciate just how good these shooters really are. There are 192 shots fired in the competition. If the shot goes in an eight inch area called the ten-ring, it's worth ten points. If it's in the 4-inch x-ring inside that eight inch circle, it's worth an x. What that means is Doug Koenig fired a perfect score (192x10= 1,920). But eight of his 192 shots were outside a four-inch circle on moving and still targets at distances from 10 to 25 yards.

Redding Offers Precision Powder Measuring System for New 17 Hornet and Small Rifle Cases

Because the unique Hornaday FTX bullet for the 45-70 cartridge requires cases to be trimmed shorter than the minimum SAAMI length, standard reloading dies cannot properly crimp these cases. Their required length for proper function keeps the case mouth from reaching the crimp ring in a standard die. Responding to the difficulties encountered by handloaders using this bullet, Redding Reloading Equipment has introduced a new Profile crimp dies designed specifically to meet this need.

Are you not glad that you live in the USA and have the 2nd Amendment!!! 

Hope the citizens of Detroit are prepared.
