Relentless Reach: Leupold Announces RBX-3000 TBR/W Rangefinding Binocular

January 9th, 2019

BEAVERTON, Ore. — Leupold & Stevens, Inc., has announced the arrival of its game-changing RBX-3000 TBR/W rangefinding binocular.

Leupold’s return to the rangefinding binocular market, the RBX-3000 TBR/W combines excellent glass with incredible ranging distances of 3,000 yards on reflective objects and 2,600 yards on trees and soft targets. Designed for the most relentless hunters and competition shooters, the RBX-3000 TBR/W redefines the rangefinding binocular category.

“Our consumers are incredibly committed to their craft and demand top-of-the-line performance from their optics,” said Tim Lesser, Vice President of Product Development for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “The RBX-3000 TBR/W has been developed from the ground up to deliver the ultra-premium performance the Leupold brand is known for. We weren’t going to come to market with a new rangefinding binocular until it was the best, and we’re happy to say it has arrived.”

The RBX-3000 TBR/W features easy-to-read, high-contrast data on a red LED display and dual eyepiece diopter adjustment. An on-board atmospheric sensor will display temperature, air pressure, and humidity. The top-tier optical prescription is reinforced by Leupold’s Twilight Max HD Light Management System. Twilight Max HD – the same light management system associated with the company’s award-winning VX-5HD and VX-6HD riflescopes – allows users to glass longer during the early predawn hours to well past dusk. Twilight Max HD combines exceptional light transmission and glare management to provide vivid images with top-of-the-line optical performance in low-light conditions.

The RBX-3000 TBR/W delivers incredibly accurate ranges with its True Ballistic Range/Wind (TBR/W) technology. TBR takes into account the angle of your shot and your rifle’s ballistics to put you dead on target. Other rangefinders will certainly spit out a number, but they won’t produce an accurate range to your target because they use basic trigonometry to calculate a straight-line horizontal distance. When you’re going long, the angle matters.

“Despite what other brands may tell you, ballistics aren’t simply in the dial,” said Eric Overstreet, Product Line Manager for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “If you’re going to be hunting or shooting at elevation or in any kind of mountainous terrain, you absolutely need a rangefinder that’s capable of calculating ballistic solutions at angles. The RBX-3000 TBR/W delivers on that in a package that’s been designed for the hunter and shooter that refuses to fail – because it won’t, either.”

Aircraft-grade aluminum housing ensures the RBX-3000 TBR/W lives up to the rugged durability Leupold products are known for. It is 100 percent waterproof and fogproof, and the lens feature Guard-ion coatings that shed dirt and water for crisp, clear images.

The RBX-3000 TBR/W will be available in a 10x42mm configuration with a Shadow Gray finish. It ships with a Leupold binocular harness, binocular strap, lens pen, and lens cloth.

The RBX-3000 TBR/W is scheduled to arrive on shelves beginning in spring 2019.

Introducing True North Concepts, LLC

January 9th, 2019

Nathan Murr, CEO, Brings the GripStop Home as the Company’s First Product to Market

Lancaster, PA – January 9, 2019 – Today, the team behind True North Concepts, LLC announced the launch of the True North brand and its first product to market, the True North GripStop. True North was born from the shared vision of its five founders led by Nathan Murr, inventor of the GripStop and CEO. They’ve come together to create smart, innovative tools that prepare men and women for any challenge that comes their way. In addition to the development of its own proprietary innovations, True North offers consulting and design services for companies in the defense, outdoor and firearms industries.

“Reading a compass to locate north is simple. To successfully navigate, however, you need skill, intuition and the right tools,” explained Murr. “We created True North to develop products that provide people with the knowledge, ability, and preparedness to be successful. We won’t allow a product to come to market under the name True North unless it serves a need and helps someone succeed in their pursuit. Whatever their goal, we’re here to help men and women gather the skills and the right tools to successfully navigate their true bearing.”

An immediate focus for True North is the development of tools that better prepare a shooter for whatever lies downrange. The company’s first product to market is none other than the newly re-named True North GripStop. The GripStop was the first of its kind when it entered the market in 2013, combining the needs of a hand stop, barricade stop and vertical grip into one lightweight, ergonomic tool.

Available now, the True North GripStop and GripStop K, two new variations of the classic GripStop made specifically for Magpul MLOK, are in stock and ready to ship. Visit www.TrueNorth-USA.com to learn more.

“My team at True North is designing and manufacturing products we wish we would have had when we were in combat and products we want now as shooters. Our products, however, go well beyond the shooting world,” continued Murr. “Every product we’re developing now or ever will develop in the future will serve as a solution to a problem that hasn’t yet been solved. True North products will always stay true to that purpose.”

The True North online store is now live with several GripStop variations available and more products coming soon. Learn more about True North Concepts LLC now at TrueNorth-USA.com.
