if I am not mistaken, I believe that was designed by Steve Timm and Leupold bought the idea...
I was thinking Leupold just said "thanks" on the VHR, but maybe my memory is off.
Yep, the folks at Leupold simply said "thanks" and that was it.
I haven't been in the factory since.
Kinda sad because I've donated every single penny I ever made in the firearms industry. The money has gone into an endowment that creates scholarships for worthy children in our parish's grade school. Karen and I figure that if we get great kids a good start, a true classic education, they have a leg up on life. Makes us feel good, too.
The point is that had I been smart enough to have hired a snarky lawyer, perhaps I could have negotiated a royalty of some kind ... and that would have added to the Steve & Karen Timm Education Endowment Fund at Christ the King Catholic School, here in Milwaukie, Oregon.
Hey, the folks at Leupold are nice and they DID say "THANKS."
I guess the point is that the shooting public has what I consider to be the finest reticle in existence ... and, in the end, that is enough. Essentially,the B&C and the VH reticles are my gift to my brothers in the hunting field.
God Bless,
Steve
