Guys we have a very exciting announcement in regard to our loaner rifle program. Arnold with US Optics is donating a LR-17 rifle scope! That is a top shelf optic that will have a home on the loaner rifle. US Optics has been a long time supporter of our events and shooters. US Optics support over the years has allowed our shooters to excel, it has allowed our club to grow and allowed our events to improve month to month, year to year. We are very thankful for their continued support of the precision rifle shooting sports. Please take the time to visit their website and consider US Optics when making your next optic purchase.
“This high quality scope from U.S. Optics is loaded with features to suit all your needs for tactical situations. The fully multi-coated Schott glass lenses allow full transmission of 94.6% of available light, which when paired with the red illuminated reticle, makes them ideal for use from dawn until dusk. The illuminated reticle is also adjustable via an 11 position rheostat to allow the user to adjust intensity. A large EREK knob (Erector Repositioning Elevation) that is low profile and has a large diameter makes elevation adjustments quick and easy, even when wearing gloves in cold weather.”
What is the loaner rifle program? Here is a quick overview...
(I made a more in depth post about the new shooter programs in the T.R.L. local match announcements section)
We have taken a page from Nor Cal PPRC and with the help of sponsors like US Optics built a spare rifle that is offered to shooters. The rifle is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor and is built using quality components. The rifle we have built gives up nothing to any rifle on the firing line. We only ask that you purchase the hand loaded ammunition for the rifle. By doing this we can also provide an individual with the DOPE necessary for the match. The cost of the ammunition is $1.00 per round which is perfectly reasonable. What this program does is provides the opportunity for someone to “rent” quality equipment, and for less than $75.00, an individual can expose themselves to our sport and make an informed decision if it is something they would like to get involved in.
