It’s a simple statement that we stand behind every single day. Because when you’re eight miles deep into the backcountry, a promise on a piece of paper is worthless unless the product in your hands performs when you need it most.
That’s why at Leupold & Stevens, we guarantee a lifetime of performance first, and then back it up with a warranty you’ll never have to use.
Why? Because you’re relentless.
You don’t back down, and you don’t give in. You keep going when others stop. That’s why we design, machine, and assemble the world’s most rugged riflescopes right here in Beaverton, Oregon. When you’re about to make the shot of a lifetime, you shouldn’t have to worry about your scope, period.
No matter where you take us, on the battlefield, in competition, or on the hunt, we will never let you down.
Be Relentless,
Bruce Pettet President & CEO Leupold & Stevens, Inc.

RELENTLESS IN OUR PURSUIT OF NEW TECHNOLOGY
Keep innovating. That’s one of the keys to relentless performance. Leupold® invented most of the riflescope technology you take for granted today, from the famous Duplex® reticle to nitrogen-filled, waterproof and fogproof optics. But that was then. Today, we’re focused on groundbreaking new technologies that let you see farther, in less light, with more clarity, and give you the best chance possible for first-shot success.
TWILIGHT MAX® HD LIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM MOTION SENSOR TECHNOLOGY (MST™) Resolve finer details at longer ranges in the widest range of Extends battery life by shutting off an illuminated reticle after weather and lighting conditions throughout the day. Engineered to five minutes of inactivity and instantly reactivating the reticle be the industry standard for performance, the Twilight Max® HD when motion is detected, so you’re always ready. Light Management System combines exceptional light transmission and glare management to provide vivid, bright, TRUE BALLISTIC RANGE® (TBR®) high contrast images from dawn until dusk. Only Leupold RX® rangefinders with True Ballistic Range® take into account the angle of your shot and your rifle’s ballistics to put TWILIGHT MAX LIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM you dead on. Other rangefinders can’t give you an accurate range See a more vivid, bright, and clear target image in a wider variation to your target because they use basic trigonometry to calculate a of low and bright lighting conditions than most fully or multicoated straight-line horizontal distance (the so-called “rifleman’s rule”). lens systems. The combination of full visible-spectrum lens coatings and glare management provides a true dawn-to-dusk experience. TRUE BALLISTIC RANGE/WIND (TBR/W) True Ballistic Range/Wind in Leupold RX rangefinders accounts TWILIGHT LIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM for wind out to distances of up to 800 yards. It generates a hold Easier target acquisition throughout extended daylight conditions. point for a 10-mph wind at a 90° angle to your direction of aim. This is a proprietary lens coating system that increases the amount ™ of usable light that reaches your eye.

A B MANAGE THE LIGHT, DOMINATE IN THE FIELD
HUNT EARLIER, HUNT LONGER Light management is an optical breakthrough by Leupold that gives hunters a visible advantage at dawn and dusk, when the biggest game is on the move. It’s a triad of performance: all three elements must be balanced to let you see deeper into the shadows than ever before.
THE SCREEN TEST: AN EASY WAY TO UNDERSTAND LIGHT MANAGEMENT Here’s an easy way to understand C how light management works: in a brightly lit room, look at A EFFECTIVE LIGHT TRANSMISSION a computer monitor, TV, or Most scopes transmit high percentages of the wavelength of light in the middle of the visible spectrum. other screen. Now, turn off the This is the light the human eye is most sensitive to in the middle of the day. Leupold’s three light overhead lights. Observe: the management systems maximize the entire visible spectrum, including more of the reds and blues at the image on screen appears ends of the spectrum. Reds and blues are crucial because the human eye becomes more sensitive to sharper and brighter, even blues in dim light, and red becomes prominent in outdoor scenes at dawn and dusk. though you’ve reduced the overall amount of light reaching B GLARE REDUCTION your eyes. The Twilight Max HD Even optics that transmit a high percentage of light won’t produce a detailed, usable sight picture if glare Light Management System obscures the target. The Twilight Max HD Light Management System, Twilight Max Light Management improves image brightness, System, and Twilight Light Management System each use different techniques to minimize glare. The clarity, and contrast by maximizing result is that the maximum amount of usable light reaches your eye. effective light transmission and removing glare. C CONTRAST AND RESOLUTION Resolution of low contrast targets (such as antlers in heavy timber) is key. Leupold’s proprietary lens coatings and superior optical design push contrast and resolution to the limits of performance.
