BEAVERTON, Ore. — Leupold & Stevens, Inc. is partnering with EraThr3 and Follow Through Consulting to offer up a very limited edition rifle, optics and training package, with the proceeds going to U.S. Marine Corps charities.

While these pieces were built to show the capabilities of EraThr3 rifles, Leupold® Optics, and Proof Research barrels, these special rifles are now available for sale. Along with the EraThr3 rifle and Leupold Mark 6® 3-18x44mm riflescope, each purchase comes with three days of precision rifle instruction from Buck Doyle of Follow Through Consulting. Most importantly, $1,000 from each rifle will go to one of the Marine Corps charities with which Doyle is involved.

"We're honored to be a part of this premier package, especially given the great cause the sale is going to support," said Rob Morrison, vice president of global marketing for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. "Outstanding training, a fantastic rifle and the best tactical riflescope all in one package. It's a rare opportunity and we're excited to be involved."

These 12 custom rifle packages were built for a media event featuring some of the best names in precision shooting. While the performance was eye-opening, it was the visual aspects of the rifle platforms that were eye-catching.

The rainbow-mix of colors selected for these rifles helped this event grow from a simple media range day into a social media phenomenon, as images from the event were shared by tens of thousands of fans.

"The colored guns were really inspired by a bag of Skittles," said Sheri Johnson, from EraThr3. "We were so sick of the same old black guns… so we came up with the colored guns and it turned out awesome."

With a retail value of $10,750, these rifle/optics packages are a great deal at $6,750. Purchasers can have a high-end precision AR platform rifle, have a great story to tell about it, and help out Marines in the process.
