Leupold Announces 2023 ‘Project Hunt’ Winners, Launches Project Hunt: New Mexico Elk Film

Leupold & Stevens, Inc., provider of the world’s most rugged, lightweight, and clear sport optics, is pleased to announce the winners of its 2023 ‘Project Hunt’ contest: Cody Austin, Justin Downes, and Ryan Haight.

Leupold’s ‘Project Hunt,’ presented by GOHUNT, offered contest entrants the chance to be the star of a Leupold digital series. They plan the hunt; they call the shots–Leupold’s videographer sticks with them the whole way to capture the story.

Cody will be navigating the rugged Wyoming wilderness on horseback in search of bull elk, Justin will be headed on a once-in-a-lifetime brown bear hunt in Alaska, and Ryan will be looking to kill his first-ever elk after drawing a premium muzzleloader tag in Colorado. Videographers will join each hunt, documenting the individual stories. A short film or digital series will be produced for each hunt and released digitally across the Leupold and GOHUNT networks in 2024.

“For the third year running, we were blown away by the number of quality submissions that came in for the ‘Project Hunt’ campaign,” said Bruce Pettet, President and Chief Executive Officer for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “Selecting a winner was an incredibly difficult process, and in the end, we decided we absolutely had to expand the pool to three–and there were countless deserving entries even beyond that. We can’t wait to help bring each of our winners’ epic moments to life on our digital channels.”

Selected entrants will also receive a prize package of Leupold optics and an annual GOHUNT Insider membership. A complete list of contest rules can be found at Leupold.com/ProjectHunt-Official-Rules. Read more

Meopta MeoStar S2 82 HD 20-70x Spotting Scope Named Editor’s Choice by Outdoor Life

Meopta’s MeoStar S2 82mm HD Spotting Scope with removable 20-70x eyepiece has been named “Best Overall Spotting Scope” and winner of Outdoor Life’s 2023 Editor’s Choice Award in the full-size spotting scopes category.

The MeoStar S2 82 features premium, extra-low dispersion, fluoride-treated HD glass that eliminates chromatic aberration to give the sharpest resolution, contrast, and color fidelity possible. The Outdoor Life test team noticed the outstanding performance citing the MeoStar’s best-in-class optical resolution and image quality, extremely tactile focus and power changing controls, sharp edge-to-edge clarity, excellent internal coatings, and outstanding price among other factors that made this premium spotting scope stand out in the test.

“The price—the real-world street price is around $3,000 for both the body and the 20-70-power eyepiece—is about $1,000 lower than its European peers, but you get the same vivid image, the stunning edge-to-edge clarity, and the velvety controls. In short, the MeoStar is an investment-grade spotting scope that is a relative bargain when considered against its competitors.”

“The Meopta easily won our low-light test, and topped the field in optical resolution. The test team especially liked the long-range detail it produced, even at higher magnifications.”

Holosun Solar Charging Rifle Sight

City of Industry, CA – It is well known that solar backup optics are just that, a backup. Generally, a solar panel attached to an optic will power the optic reticle and not charge the device battery. These solar panels do not mitigate the need for battery changes but can act as an ambient power supply for the reticle or a backup if/when a battery fails. This changes now as Holosun releases the SCRS in 2023.

The SCRS (Solar Charging Rifle Sight) advances Holosun’s SCS technology, creating an all-new, ultra-compact 20mm tube sight designed for rifle applications. The SCRS features multi-directional light sensors, an advanced auto mode for automatic reticle intensity settings, and a manual mode for manual dot intensity control. The 20,000-hour power reserve is stored in an internal solar charging battery, providing ample power to charge three different reticle styles: 65 MOA Circle & 2 MOA Dot, 2 MOA Dot, or 65 MOA Circle. Capable of +/- 50 MOA travel with 1 MOA per click adjustment. Reticle intensity has eight daylight and four night vision settings. SCRS is IP67 rated and made from 7075 aluminum utilizing Holosun’s 509T footprint for compatibility with third-party offset RDS mounts. Read more
