Leatherwood Uni-Dial: Designed for the Serious Long Range Rifleman
OutdoorHub 02.20.13
Here is a scope that allows the shooter to fully harness the trajectory of an accurate center-fire rifle – at all ranges within the ballistics capability of the cartridge being shot.
The Leatherwood Uni-Dial is a scope of conventional design, built with a very unique feature. This exceptional rifle scope can be programmed for the zero to be “on” at ten different points down range. The elevation turret features a series of (10) moveable flags, or indicators, and each can be sighted for the rifle to be “on” at different ranges. Once a flag has been set…it can be locked in place. To take a shot at that distance, all the shooter has to do is turn the turret until the flag for that range aligns with an index mark at the base of the turret. It’s that easy.
This scope is ideal for the long range varmint shooter, who may suddenly find himself faced with a 500 yard shot at a coyote, then another just as suddenly pops up at 300 yards. Many shooters of the past would have simply tried to figure a different hold, or would add or subtract a number of clicks on the elevation turret. With the Uni-Dial, it becomes simply a matter of turning the elevation turret in the right direction to the pre-determined, or programmed, range indicator.
The Uni-Dial models also feature a “No Math Mil-Dot” ranging reticle. All a shooter has to do is zoom the magnification range up or down until an object of known size (18 inches or 1 meter) fits between the proper brackets incorporated into the reticle…then look at the range indicated on the magnification ring. The elevation turret is then turned to the proper flag, and the shooter takes the shot. One full turn of the elevation or windage turret gives 40 MOA adjustment. Once set, the windage adjustment can also be locked in place, leaving the shooter 7 MOA of adjustment in either direction for tweaking point of impact for those long range shots on a breezy day.
The Leatherwood Uni-Dial models are built with all of the quality, craftsmanship and features that distinguish every Hi-Lux Optics rifle scope. All lenses are polished to photographic quality, then every air surface is fully multi -coated to insure a bright, clear and sharp sight picture.
