Leupold Tactical Optics helped provide a level playing field to the world’s best snipers by providing Mark 4 ER/T 6.5-20x50 mm riflescopes for the 2011 International Sniper Competition at Ft. Benning, Ga. Of the 32 two-man teams competing, 25 choose to use the Mark 4 optic.
“It was a privilege to be part of the International Sniper Competition and demonstrate the commitment Leupold Tactical has made to developing new optics for military and law enforcement professionals,” commented Kevin Trepa, vice president of Leupold Tactical Division.
Leupold engineers and product specialists were also on site to oversee all technical details of the optics in use.
“Our objective was to observe our optics used firsthand by the sniper community and get feedback,” said Ray Brock, Leupold Tactical product line manager. “The Mark 4 M5A was well received and the snipers were excited to see new developments in optics that meet their needs.”
Master Sgt. Owens and Spc. Terry Gower of the Army's B Co 2/3rd SFG (A) won the 11th Annual International Sniper Competition. While the team of Cpls. Michael Craven and Kenny Lloyd from the Irish Defense Forces came in second place in the event.
