Leupold Freedom Red Dot Sight (RDS) on Display at 148th NRAAM

BEAVERTON, Ore. –-(Ammoland.com)- The new-for-2019 Freedom Red Dot Sight (RDS) from Leupold & Stevens, Inc., will be on display at the 148th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Indianapolis from April 26-28. The RDS is everything you need in a red dot and delivers class-leading reliability – and it’s built in the United States at Leupold’s Beaverton, Ore., factory.

A tubular red dot sight built for recreational shooters and hunters alike, the RDS will be available in two distinct models: One features capped precision ¼-MOA click adjustments, the other a precision exposed BDC elevation turret that ships with measurements out to 500 yards for standard 55-grain .223 Rem. ammunition. The RDS is designed to install easily with an included mount that sits at the optimal sight height for use on AR-style rifles. That said, the RDS can be removed from the included mount and used with any 34mm rings.

“Consumers have been asking for an American-made, value-priced red dot for as long as we’ve been in the marketplace,” said Tim Lesser, Vice President of Product Development for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “The Freedom RDS delivers on that task and more, bringing with it innovative features like the custom BDC elevation turret, allowing end-users to easily dial up for longer shots.”

Both models of the Freedom RDS feature a 1 MOA dot reticle that’s supported by Leupold’s battery-saving Motion Sensor Technology (MST), which puts the sight into a standby mode after five minutes of inactivity. When the MST detects motion, it instantly activates the sight, so it’s ready when you are. A manual mode allows the sight to be shut off when not in use.

The scratch-resistant lenses feature Leupold’s Twilight Red Dot System, which delivers standard color consistency and premium lens clarity. The RDS features lightweight construction that disperses recoil energy and creates unrivaled durability, and has been tested and verified on Leupold’s legendary “Punisher,” surviving the very same impact tests that are applied to Leupold’s top-of-the-line Mark 8 riflescopes. It is 100 percent fogproof and waterproof and features 80-MOA of adjustment in both elevation and windage. A 34mm maintube design measures at under 5.5 inches and weighs less than 7 ounces. Its lightweight design helps increase its rugged reliability.

Both RDS models are designed, machined, and assembled in the United States and backed by Leupold’s Full Lifetime Guarantee.
