Laserlyte

Cottonwood, Ariz. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Due to overwhelming customer demand LaserLyte announces the expansion of its Rear Sight Laser (RSL) line for Springfield Armory XD and XD(M)™ pistols.

The LaserLyte RSL’s ground-breaking new laser design incorporated into the rear sight, compact size and revolutionary performance make it the most extraordinary system LaserLyte has ever produced.

Easy-to-install and easy-to-operate, the new RSL offers a high-power laser with the benefit of not having to replace existing grips, internal stock parts or holsters.

The RSL’s activation switch is a strategically placed button at the back of the slide that is easily activated by the thumb in a normal shooting position for left- or right-handed shooters. First press of the activation switch produces the constant on mode, second press produces pulse mode, and third press deactivates the laser. A small LED on the back of the laser indicates if the laser is on and what mode it is in.

This RSL fits all Springfield Armory XD and XD(M) as well as SIG SAUER 225, 226, 228, 239 and 209 pistols. The unit is constructed from MIM 4650, nickel enriched high carbon steel, the same material used for most heavy-duty gun parts such as iron sights, hammers and levers. It is also black oxide, bead blasted for a non-reflective finish. When mounted onto the pistol the RSL will fit all Level I and II holsters. The RSL is powered by four 377 batteries, commonly used in watches provide one hour of run time on constant on and two hours in pulse mode. LaserLyte offers discounted batteries at www.laserlyte.com. MSRP $199.95.

Steiner Predator C5 Binocular

Steiner Optics

Moorestown, NJ —-(AmmoLand.com)- Designed for hunters and nature observers, the Predator C5 binocular line has expanded its offerings to include two new binoculars to this popular line.

A new 8×56 and 10×56 offer larger objective lenses for even better light gathering, higher resolution and greater detail.

Like the 10×42 and 12×42 Predator C5s, the two new models utilize the unique lens coating that help you spot hidden game by blocking the colors of haze and foliage and enhancing the visibility of browns, reds and other wildlife colors. With the larger objective on the 8x and 10x, viewing times will be extended and images will be brighter and clearer than ever.

The popular design of the Predator C5 uses a rigid polycarbonate chassis that is both durable and waterproof. The ergonomic styling makes this binocular easy to use and focus with gloves in any weather condition. It is nitrogen-purged and comes equipped with a padded travel case, rain guards or the oculars and the attached objective lens caps. A comfortably padded neck strap makes viewing for extended periods very enjoyable.

The new larger objective Predator C5 binoculars will be available at retailers nationwide January 2010. Suggested retail price for the 8×56 is $949 and the 10×56 is $999.

Steiner Legendary Predator C5 Binocular Line Expanded

Meprolight NOA Uncooled Thermal Sights

Meprolight

Or Akiva, Israel --(AmmoLand.com)- Meprolight, a provider of innovative weapon sights, today announced that it will launch a new version of its NOA uncooled thermal weapon sights (X4 and X7 magnification) at Milipol, the international exhibition of internal state security, to be held in Paris, France, November 17-20, 2009 (booth # 11D034).

The new version contains an advanced electronic level indicator, a critical component in balancing the sight for effective long-range shooting. Another new feature is the capability to withstand heavy weapon recoil. The sight’s new version enables bidirectional communications with military devices such as range finders and wireless recording systems.

The new version is designed for snipers who operate under harsh environmental conditions and need to detect and accurately engage targets at long ranges reaching more than 1,000 meters in variable weather conditions and very limited light availability or total darkness. The NOA sights, with their high resolution and digital zoom, detect targets in urban or densely vegetated areas, including camouflaged people or targets behind camouflage nets.

”This announcement further establishes Meprolight as a global leader in thermal sights,” said Golan Kalimi, Meprolight’s Vice President Marketing. “The new version greatly improves sniper performance. We are committed to help our clients around the world meet the most demanding challenges of long-range sniping in any environmental condition.”

NOA’s state-of-the-art sights are equipped with a cutting-edge Fire Control System (FCS), featuring automatic ballistic compensation based on range and type of weapon and ammunition, among others. Additional features include leveling indicator, Laser range finder interface for automatic target range acquisition, and the ability to upload and download data.

NOA sights enable wired or wireless transmission of streaming video and real-time video recording, as well as integrated capturing and storage of still images. The NOA sights excel in low energy consumption, allowing up to 10 hours of continuous operation.

About Meprolight
Meprolight designs and manufactures a wide array of electro-optical and optical sights and devices, night vision devices, thermal sights and a wide variety of night sights and other tritium- and LED-illuminated products and accessories for safety and security applications for the law enforcement, military and civilian communities.

Meprolight to Launch New Version of Advanced Uncooled Thermal Weapon Sight

Crimson Trace Next Generation Glock Lasergrips

Crimson Trace

Wilsonville, OR —-(AmmoLand.com)- Crimson Trace announces the next generation of Lasergrips for most standard and compact Glock pistols. The LG-417 fits the 2nd and 3rd generations of the Glock models 17, 17L, 19, 22, 23, 32, 34, 35, 37 and 38. Suggested retail price is $329.00.

The LG-417 is the ultimate refinement of laser sighting systems for Glock pistols. The Lasergrips encircle the polymer grip of the Glock and anchored in place by a locking-block attachment that discreetly covers the beavertail. This skeletonized design leaves the backstrap open and adds little to the width of the stock Glock grip, giving it the advantage of fitting common LE/MIL duty holsters.

It is instinctively activated by a pressure switch built into the front strap of the polymer Lasergrips. Simply grasping the firearm in a normal shooting grip activates the laser. The master on/off switch is located on the left-hand side and uses new microprocessor touch sensor switch technology versus a mechanical switch found on most other Lasergrips. Users simply press the recessed pressure switch to turn the unit on or off. All electrical components fit into the Lasergrip, which is small in size and is ergonomically designed for comfort.

Two #2032 batteries are located in the palm swell on each side of the Lasergrips, providing over 4 hours of constant-on beam time. Rubber overmolding covers both the activation button on the front strap and the master on/off switch, providing improved grip while shooting.

Another new feature of the LG-417 is that it uses the smaller 3.3mm diameter laser diode versus the standard 5.6 diameter diode that is found in most all other brands of laser sighting devices. This reduces the overall size of the laser diode housing. As with all other Lasergrips, the LG-417 has both windage and elevation adjustments for shooters to make adjustments on their own. All Lasergrips come with an accessory pack that contains batteries, hex wrenches for laser adjustments, a cleaning cloth and several cleaning swabs. A three-year warranty is standard.

About:
All Crimson Trace products are made in the United States of America. Crimson Trace is the world’s only manufacturer of grip-integrated laser sighting systems. Police, all branches of the U.S. Military, and responsible citizens’ worldwide use patented Crimson Trace laser sights. Crimson Trace laser sights are recommended as an essential accessory by some of the world’s top firearm instructors.

Crimson Trace Lasergrips for SIG P226, P228, P229 Pistols

Crimson Trace

Wilsonville, OR —-(AmmoLand.com)- Crimson Trace is pleased to introduce two new front activated Lasergrips for the SIG P226 and P228/P229.

The new Lasergrips incorporate a one-piece wrap-around grip style with a large front activation switch. MSRP for both models is $329.00.

The new LG-426 and LG-429 Lasergrips are contoured to be both comfortable and secure in the hand while shooting. The aggressively textured polymer side panels are uniquely patterned to optimize the contact of the palm onto the pistol and are connected together with a durable rubber strap which provides even more grip while shooting with or without gloves.

Inside these robust Lasergrips is a storage slot for an adjustment wrench. The wrench is not only held in place by the form-fitted slot but a magnet also provides extra retention of the sight adjusting tool.

The supplied CR2032 batteries provide over two hours of illumination and the shelf life of these batteries is five years. As with all Lasergrips, the red targeting dot is user adjustable for windage and elevation. There is a touch-sensitive master on/off switch on the left side of the Lasergrips that is inset into the grip.

Installation is extremely simple with the new SIG Lasergrips. Simply remove the stock grips and attach the Lasergrips using the stock screws and washers. The Lasergrips are pre-sighted at the factory for 50 feet but can be changed by the shooter by turning the elevation and windage adjustment screws located on the laser diode housing. All Lasergrips come with an accessory pack that contains batteries, hex wrenches for user adjustability, a cleaning cloth and several cleaning swabs. A three-year warranty is standard.

Insight Technology’s XTI Named Brilliance Award Nominee By OpticsPlanet

Steiner 15x80mm Military Binoculars

Steiner Optics

Moorestown, NJ —-(AmmoLand.com)- Nearly 30 years ago, Steiner introduced a practical binocular—the 15×80mm Military—to oversee geographical and political borders in even the darkest moments of dawn and twilight. Not long thereafter, that very binocular would revolutionize the way countries looked at their borders, and even more importantly, the way their militaries would fight wars.

Now almost three decades later, the legendary binoculars that have become the benchmark for long-range observation, target acquisition, and surveillance for all five branches of the U.S. Armed Services, numerous elite American government agencies, and countless state and local law enforcement agencies have received several important upgrades to make them the most robust optical instruments in the arsenal to protect our freedoms.

With their huge objective lenses and Porro-prism construction, the 15×80mm Military binocular and the more powerful 20×80 Military have become the easily recognizable staple of both the government operators and those who portray them on the silver screen. From the real-world hands of a lance corporal forward observer in the Persian Gulf, to the fictional grip of Lord Helmet as he was about to “comb the desert,” to government agents pursuing comic-book heroes at your local cinema, Steiner’s long-hinge Military binoculars have been making a difference.

Now, the mil-spec ISO 9001/2008 tested and approved 15×80 and 20×80 Military and Commander Military (compass equipped) binoculars have been upgraded with a new NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) armor coating that is virtually impervious to any invasive compound it may encounter. Furthermore, the binoculars in this line have been outfitted with a pair of NPR flip-off covers that protect the objective lenses during periods of inactivity. Designed to be the most rugged, strongest military optical instrument ever made, these tough binoculars are also available to folks without a military ID.

While falling off a moving Humvee, surviving sandstorms, and daily front-line use are what Steiner designed and built these binoculars to endure, everyday consumers are finding that these binoculars easily bring objects a mile distant to what seems as near as 100 yards. And tipping the scales at less than 60 ounces, they find natural balance between stability and ease of manual holding.

Vortex Razor HD 5-20x50mm Riflescope

Vortex Optics

Middleton, Wis. – -(AmmoLand.com)-Vortex Optics new Razor HD 5-20×50mm riflescope was designed from the ground up to meet the needs of military and law enforcement precision shooters. Packed with more than a dozen unique performance and optical features, the Razor delivers superior ranging and accuracy at extreme distances – and absolutely reliable performance in the most demanding shooting conditions.

With its 35mm one-piece tube machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, the Razor offers an incredible 36 mrad / 125 MOA adjustment range for windage and elevation; enough to accommodate for bullet drop at the most extreme distances. The optically-indexed lenses are precision-ground from XD optical glass and fully multi-coated with Vortex’s advanced XR coating to deliver the highest level of edge-to-edge brightness, resolution and clarity obtainable with today’s optical technologies. A unique, multi-element apochromatic (APO) objective lens virtually eliminates chromatic aberration across the entire field of view so targets can be more clearly defined at longer distances – and camouflage patterns more easily spotted and identified.

Ranging and accuracy at extreme distances is simplified with Vortex Optics proprietary new EBR-2 mrad reticle. Laser-etched-on-glass and placed in the first focal plane, the reticle enlarges and shrinks with the target when zoomed so the scale remains in proportion at all magnifications. In addition, the subtensions on the EBR-2 mrad reticle match the subtension markings on the turrets to make range calculations and shooting adjustments faster and more accurate.

Vortex Razor HD 5-20×50mm

The turret screws are ultra-precision machined from silicon-brass alloy and fitted with hardened steel turret pads that interface with a hardened steel ring on the erector tube. This patent-pending friction reduction system eliminates deformation, wear and galling of the erector screws.

Vortex’s proprietary RZR (Rapid Zero Return) Zero Stop mechanism stops the elevation turret from dialing below sight-in range using a rotational-blocking steel design (patent pending) that’s mechanically more reliable and accurate than other systems that block the vertical movement of the turret. The RZR Zero Stop is fully sealed from the elements – even when being set. Delivers precise return to zero after temporary elevation corrections have been dialed without the need for the user to count clicks.

With generous 3.9 in. eye relief through the entire 5-20X range of magnification, absolutely waterproof/dustproof/shockproof construction, and a hard-anodized matte Stealth Shadow Black finish, the Razor HD 5-20mm riflescope truly represents the state-of-the art in combat-ready rifle Optics.

MSRP: $2,499.00

Steiner’s Optics 2009 Savings Bonanza Ends Soon

Laser Genetics

Laser Genetics --(AmmoLand.com)- The ND5 Long Distance Laser Locator is the first patented, high powered, hand held laser light built for civilian use. The patented design integrates a state of the art micro Green Laser Pump with a hand controlled Linear Optical Collimator to create the ultimate lighting instrument. A one hand thumb control quickly adjusts laser beam diameter and illumination intensity allowing the user to completely focus the laser light only where it is needed. The high power laser beam may be collimated down and concentrated to cast an intense, highly visible beam of light able to be seen at distances up to 5 miles for signaling or search and rescue operations. Adjusting the ND5’s collimator more open increases the diameter of the beam to fully illuminate objects up to 400 yards or even a trail for night hiking.

The ND5 Laser Locator light utilizes a proprietary 20MW Green Laser Pump which operates at 532nm with a output life of up to 8 hours using two, 3V lithium batteries. “This is the easiest light for the human eye to see and causes no typical “night blindness” associated with standard or high intensity flash lights”, said CEO Lou Riley. “Thus the ND5 provides illumination completely suitable for night work with the least amount of eye adjustment.”

“Nd5 Takes The Search Out Of Search And Rescue”

Targeted uses are: Marine, Safety, Search and Rescue, Outdoor Recreation and Hunting and Wildlife Observation. The Laser Genetics ND5 Laser Locator Light uses patented military “laser designator” technology. Laser diode pumps are collimated to produce “coherent light” which loses the least amount of its illumination power as it travels to the target. The ND5 nearly eliminates light loss due to the “flooding” effect typical of most flashlights. This enables objects to be illuminated or “painted” at great distances. The ND5 can be paired with high power Optics such as spotting scopes, binoculars and rifle scopes to see objects at extreme distances with true night vision. MSRP $329.95

ND5 SPECIFICATIONS

• Length 9.75 inches x Diameter 2.25 inches (248mm x 57mm)
• Precision Machined from High-Tech Aluminum Alloy
• Anodized Matte Black Finish
• Fully O-Ring Sealed Against Moisture and Dust
• Nitrogen Charged – Fog Proof Multi-Coated Lenses
• Patented Linear Beam Collimator Controls Beam Diameter
  And Intensity

Laser Genetics Introduces The First Laser Locating Light For Civilian Use With A Range Up To 5 Miles

Laser Genetics

Laser Genetics --(AmmoLand.com)-The ND3 Laser Designator uses patented technology to create true night vision and turns your scoped rifle into a night hunter. Combining a powerful, eye safe green laser diode and a precision optical collimator, the ND3 pairs with your scope and allows you to cast a bright beam of green laser light to fully illuminate targets up to 250 yards. The patented optical collimator allows for quick, one hand full range adjustment of the beam diameter and light strength, with just 180 degrees of rotation. You never have to take your eyes off the target or your hand off the trigger. The high power green laser light reflects intensely off the eyes of animals allowing quick locating from over 300 yards. The ND3 works well for both night hunting and game spotting.

Midnight at 250 yards looks like dawn at 25 feet!

The ND3 Laser Designator is a precision optical lighting instrument using advanced green laser technology. The patented Rotary Optical Collimator allows full adjustment and control of beams diameter and intensity to focus light where you need it most. Rotating the collimator ring to its minimum creates a bright micro beam of green laser light visible up to 3 miles. Rotating the collimator to its more open settings provides plenty of illumination to light a trail at night or paint a target at 250 yards. The battery life allows you to handle any emergency with over 7 hours of available power.

A green laser light is the most visible to the human eye and requires the least amount of eye adjustment at night. The animals’ eyes are intensely illuminated by the green laser light and clearly visible at extended distances when viewed through Optics. For optimum night vision for hunting, pair the ND3 with a high quality variable power scope having a 50mm or larger objective lens providing maximum light transmission. The included ND3 mounting system for 1” tubes provides full adjustment for windage and elevation for scope alignment. An additional mount for binoculars and spotting scopes is included. Suggested Retail $299.95

ND3 SPECIFICATIONS

• • Precision machined from special alloy
  aluminum and hard-coat anodized
• • Fully O Ring Sealed for Dust and Water
• • Nitrogen Charged for Anti-fog
• • 1” Tube Adapts to Many Mounting Systems

Weaver Optics

ONALASKA, Wis. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Weaver® Optics is pleased to announce their new 40/44™ series of riflescopes has captured Field & Stream’s coveted 2009 “Best of the Best Award” in the Optics category. This honor marks the one-year anniversary of Weaver Optics’ return to the ATK family of brands and demonstrates ATK’s commitment to the Optics market.

40/44 series resonates with users
Introduced in early 2009, the 40/44 series was designed to satisfy the value shopper looking to get the most scope for their money. According to Tom Knudtson, Weaver product line manager, “In tough economic times, when even the most avid shooters become a little value-conscious it’s important to have quality products geared for all budgets. We feel the 40/44 series is one such product.” Evidently the folks at Field & Stream seem to agree, when they claimed “saying you can’t go wrong for the price here is an understatement.”

Field & Stream 2009 Best of the Best Award

Best of the Best criteria
To be awarded “Best of the Best” status from Field & Stream, products must pass an intensive array of testing for performance and reliability. Among other tests, Weaver’s 40/44 3-9×40mm riflescope successfully passed the stringent requirements of being:
• subjected to the shock of firing 325-grain .45/70 loads
• frozen and then submerged into warm water for five minutes with the turret caps removed to test for fogging or leaking
• repeatedly adjusted to test the ¼ MOA for consistency and accuracy

With 500 products submitted for testing and 27 experienced field testers pushing them to the max, only a surviving few remained to be crowned “Best of the Best.”

Packed with features
Weaver’s 40/44 series are comprised of scopes that possess either 40mm or 44mm objectives and contain features shooters have come to expect in quality glass. Things like fully multi-coated lenses, waterproof/shockproof/fogproof performance and one-piece tube construction. Other elements that make the 40/44 series a Field & Stream “Best of the Best” winner are:

• • broad range of magnification ranges
• • aspherical lens system (on some models)
• • Ballistic-X reticle
• • rugged construction
• • bright, clear glass that performs in low light conditions

Trijicon Scopes

Wixom, MI - -(AmmoLand.com)- Trijicon, Inc.®, the world leader in the development of Brilliant Aiming Solutions™ for the military, law enforcement and hunting/shooting markets, has introduced its new Trijicon RMR™ Sight — a patent-pending new generation Ruggedized Miniature Reflex™ designed to improve shooter precision and accuracy with any style or caliber of weapon.

Unlike other Red dot sights on the market, this innovative solution is designed for superior durability under the most extreme conditions. The experts at Trijicon also designed the new RMR sights to be as strong as the company’s renowned Trijicon ACOGs, and provide ease of sighting and adjustment, solving important issues often associated with other Red dot sights.

Trijicon RMR Red dot Sight

Trijicon’s new design begins with a rugged, forged aluminum housing — one that is extremely sturdy, yet lightweight. This advanced housing encases premium quality Optics for superior performance in every tactical, shooting or hunting situation. Other advancements in the Trijicon RMR sights include new large, easy-to-use adjusters that allow for quick one MOA per click adjustment for windage and elevation using a common screwdriver or shell casing. The Trijicon RMR provides rapid target acquisition and enhances the shooter’s capabilities in a wide variety of applications.

In keeping with Trijicon’s commitment to battery-free illumination, a battery-free model features dual illumination using Trijicon’s patented fiber Optics and tritium, and comes in dot sizes of 9 or 13 Minutes of Angle (MOA). This model is the world’s first battery-free mini reflex sight, measuring a mere 1.78”L X 1.24”W X1.03”H and weighing in at only 1.22 oz.

Another version features LED illumination provided by a standard 2032 battery, and comes in dot sizes of 4 or 8 MOA. This model measures 1.78”L X 1.10”W X 1.00”H and weighs only 1.22 oz. Both are available in black housings and — as further testament to their rugged construction — are rated as waterproof to sixty-six feet. The Trijicon RMR mounts onto Trijicon ACOGs, compact ACOGs, AccuPoints, MIL-STD 1913 rail equipped weapons systems, Weaver rail equipped weapons systems and the more popular handgun models.

The patent-pending new generation Trijicon Ruggedized Miniature Reflex™ won the prestigious “Optic of the Year” category at the recent Shooting Industry Master’s tournament in East Granby, Connecticut.

However, it is the toughest Red dot sight on the market, designed to improve shooter precision and accuracy with any style or caliber of weapon. Plus, unlike other Red dot sights on the market, this innovative solution was designed for superior durability under the most extreme conditions and is the world’s first battery-free mini reflex sight, measuring a mere 1.78”L X 1.24”W X1.03”H and weighing in at only 1.22 oz.

Warne Scope Mounts

TUALATIN, Oregon — -(AmmoLand.com)- Warne Manufacturing, known for the manufacturing of premium steel scope rings and bases as well as OEM components and assemblies for other companies, today announces the acquisition of the aluminum products manufacturing facility Bold Ideas.

Bold Ideas (BI) is an Oregon based manufacturer that caters to the shooting sports, aviation, motorcycle and automotive industries. The core competency at BI is innovative design, prototyping and development with the capacity to manufacture at production levels from one to infinity while still staying competitive.

The acquisition of BI by Warne is a strategic move to aid Warne in achieving ultra fast prototyping and development of mounting systems and to expand Warne’s ability to manufacture aluminum components more efficiently. BI will also provide capacity to manufacture these items as well as a wide variety of other components for Warne.

Warne manufacturers and distributes innovative scope mounts, rings and bases as well as providing quick turn around in development of custom mounting solutions. Previously limited to mostly steel components, the acquisition will allow Warne to provide lighter weight aluminum products and increase production yet maintain their reputation for quality, durability and reliability.

Warne began operations in 1990 and will soon celebrate its 20th anniversary. The company was acquired by Charles F. Lake in 2001 and in 2005, needing to expand manufacturing facilities, was moved to its present location in Tualatin, Oregon.

Dave Wilcox, previously General Manager for Warne has been promoted to Vice President of both Warne and BI. “Acquiring the manufacturing capabilities of Bold Ideas will allow us to do some really exciting things” said Wilcox. “I see great potential for the development of products where the strength and accompanying weight of steel simply is not necessary. We’re really looking forward to the possibilities of new and lighter products we couldn’t do before. We look at this acquisition as sort of a marriage because all previous management, employees and owners of both companies were retained, thus creating great potential and possibilities.”

Mansfield, Texas - -(AmmoLand.com)- Sightmark released the Q5 Triple Duty Flashlight Kit, one of the most powerful flashlight in its class. The Q5 is Sightmark’s flagship flashlight and has quickly become a top seller.

The Q5 utilizes top LED technology, XR-E Cree® LED, combined with a DC-DC regulated circuit producing an extremely bright and smooth light beam. Extended battery-life is attributed to an integrated thermal management system.

Creating a blazing 280 lumens of light the Q5 runs at maximum output for over 90 minutes and then the power output gradually steps down, providing over 36 hours of continuous operation. The light stays very bright until the last few hours in which people are able to read a map and navigate out of the wood.

The Q5 was designed to put out more lumens than traditional (2) D-cell flashlights while maintaining a more compact size. It measures a hair over 5 inches long with width varies between 1 and 1.25 inches.

The Q5 has quickly won awards; including Editor’s Choice in the February 2009 edition of Outdoor Life’s high-end flashlight review. Sightmark contributes the Q5’s success to its brightness, durability, extended battery-life and compact size.

The Q5 Triple Duty Flashlight Kit comes with all of the accessories desired in a high-end flashlight; including a push-button end cap, touch activated pressure pad, lanyard, removable clip, three-prong glass breaking ring and (2) CR-123 batteries. The supplied off-set weapon’s mount can be mounted to firearms that have a Weaver rail. Additionally, the off-set mount gives the user the ability to mount an additional accessory on the same rail without interfering with the flashlight. The weapons mount has a sturdy integrated recoil pin the increases its resistance to recoil.

The Q5 Triple Duty Flashlight Kit can be exposed to a variety of environments while working flawlessly. It can handle the hot temperature in the barren desert while remaining impermeable in sodden rain forest conditions. The Q5 is designed for use and abuse in any climate.

“The Q5 is one of the most durable flashlights I have ever had the pleasure of using,” said Jeff Murray, Director of Sales. “We ran it over on concrete with a JEEP multiple times and then froze it for over 72 hours and finally it was beaten with baseball bats by one of the salesmen. It still worked flawlessly and gave us all a lot of confidence.”

The Q5 is crafted from a single billet of aircraft grade aluminum finished with Type-II mil-spec anodizing; this material was specifically selected for its strength-to-weight properties. The Q5 is strong while being small enough to conveniently carry into almost any situation and should not be overlooked by law enforcement, military and outdoorswomen and men alike.

Sightmark products are inspired by military and law enforcement applications. All of Sightmark’s products are produced to be the most effective weapon accessories possible. Sightmark offers a wide range of manufactured products that include red-dot scopes, range finders, riflescopes, flashlights, laser sights and award-winning Boresights.

Bushnell BackTrack GPS Wins Shooting Industry Academy of Excellence Award

Overland Park, KS. - -(AmmoLand.com)- The Bushnell patented RainGuard technology has proven to be an invaluable addition to their high quality Optics line. Now in 2009, the best is even better with the introduction of RainGuard HD.

RainGuard is a patented, permanent hydrophobic, oleophobic lens coating that causes moisture from rain, snow, sleet and even your breath to bead up into smaller droplets and scatter. The tiny droplets divert less light, keeping your view through the Optics bright and clear when an untreated lens would be rendered useless.

The new Bushnell RainGuard HD features an even more durable finish and increased “slickness” for better clearing and easier cleaning.

RainGuard HD also provides for better light transmission.

RainGuard HD will be featured on the Bushnell Elite Series pf binoculars, spotting scopes, riflescopes and rangefinders as well as the Legend Ultra-HD binocular and spotting scopes models.

ROANOKE, Va.– -(AmmoLand.com)- ITT Corporation (NYSE: ITT) has been awarded an $11.4 million contract to supply image intensification tubes for existing night vision goggles to the United States Special Operations Command. Under this contract, ITT’s Night Vision business will provide Generation (Gen) 3 thin-filmed Pinnacle® tubes that the U.S. military has recognized as the most advanced night vision technology available, producing the clearest, sharpest night vision image for U.S. warfighters.

“ITT’s Gen 3 night vision technology gives operators the tactical advantage they need to safely execute critical precision nighttime missions that support the strategic interests of the U.S. and its allies,” said Mike Hayman, president of ITT’s Night Vision business. “We are committed to supplying U.S. and allied warfighters with the world’s best night vision technology, and we are particularly honored to be the supplier of choice for our special operating forces.”

Night vision goggles with Gen 3 image intensifying tubes have the ability to detect available light with more than 10 times the power of previous generations. They are designed for use in all night vision systems that use inverting tubes including aviation goggle, ground systems and weapon sights. The tube inverts the image received from the optical lens 180 degrees. This eliminates the need for the eyepiece to perform this function, saving size and weight for the warfighter.

ITT’s Night Vision business, based in Roanoke, Va., is the world’s leading developer, producer and supplier of head- and helmet-mounted night vision solutions and image intensifiers for U.S. and allied military forces, as well as the homeland security market. ITT has served the U.S. military with premier research, development, production and logistics for analog and digital fusion solutions for 50 years. ITT delivered its one millionth Gen 3 image intensification tube in 2007. To learn more, visit www.nightvision.com.

The UTAM-32 may also be fitted with a 2X or 3x fixed power optical lens, shuttered eye-cup, and other options including video.

Bushnell Elite 6500 Series Expanded With Two New Tactical Scopes

Leupold Scopes

BEAVERTON, Ore. - -(AmmoLand.com)- Souped up and simplified – these words best describe Leupold’s® new RX®-600 and RX-750 TBR® digital laser rangefinders for hunters and shooters.

Enhanced digital signal processing delivers faster ranging performance than comparable rangefinders while ensuring accurate distance measurements. An improved user interface and simplified Quick Set Menu make the RX-600 and RX-750 TBR easier to operate than similar models.

The RX-600 provides straight-line distance measurements, while the advanced RX-750 TBR offers True Ballistic Range® technology to help place shots with exceptional accuracy.

“Whether you’re a bowhunter or shooting varmints, our RX-600 and RX-750 TBR rangefinders will meet your needs,” commented Mike Slack, Leupold’s marketing communications manager. “We designed them for topflight performance, but priced them to be surprisingly affordable.”

Maximum range of the RX-600 and RX-750 TBR on reflective targets is, respectively, 600 yards (548.6 meters) and 750 yards (685.8 meters). Measurements are provided in yards or meters.

Each model has 6x magnification and a fully multicoated lens system for a bright, pristine image.

Both the RX-600 and RX-750 TBR measure only 4.2 inches long and weigh just 6.8 ounces. They are weatherproof and rugged, with rubber armor in a black finish. The RX-750 TBR is also available in Mossy Oak® Break-Up® camouflage.

The RX-750 TBR can automatically calculate the shot angle and provide the True Ballistic Range rather than the straight-line distance to the target. Optimized for most popular bow and rifle trajectories, the rifle settings also work in conjunction with Leupold’s Ballistic Aiming System® riflescope reticles for exceptionally accurate shot placement.

Other key features of both models include:

• fast-focus eyepiece with precision clicks.
• three selectable reticles – hunters can choose the reticle best suited to the terrain and game.
• fold-down rubber eyecups accommodate users with or without glasses

Steiner Optics Kicks Off 2009 Savings Bonanza

Bushnell Legend Ultra-HD Binoculars

Bushnell Outdoor Products

Overland Park, KS - -(AmmoLand.com)- Hunters and outdoorsmen have always valued the Legend series of binoculars from Bushnell for their ruggedness, performance and value. For 2009, Bushnell introduces a new design on the outside and the latest technology on the inside.

The New Legend Ultra·HD combines high quality Optics and premium ED Prime Glass with the new Ultra Wide Custom Coating lens technology to provide the ultimate in high definition performance in two new roof prism models – the Legend Ultra·HD 8×42mm and 10×42mm. The new anti-reflective Ultra Wide Custom Coating delivers the best available light during the peak of the day but also at dusk and dawn when Optics matter most. Premium ED (Extra Low Dispersion) glass delivers optimal color performance and edge-to-edge sharpness.

Compared to similarly price Optics, the Legend Ultra·HD binoculars deliver a wider field of view (12 percent more than standard 10x binoculars). They are also more comfortable to use. Longer eye relief means less eye strain. The new Legend Ultra·HD binoculars are built on a lightweight, durable magnesium chassis. As a bonus they come with a Deluxe binocular harness with pre-attached neckstrap lugs that distributes the weight of the binoculars more evenly across your back.

The Legend Ultra·HD binoculars provide all weather performance with their 100 percent waterproof construction and new RainGuard® HD high-density permanent coating scatters less light by minimizing or eliminating moisture on the lens surface.

Both models are available in black and the 10×42 model is also available in Realtree AP Camo. They come complete with a premium carrying case, neck strap and custom binocular harness. Suggested retail prices are: 8×42 – $289.95 and 10×42 – $299.95. They are available at Bushnell dealers nationwide.
