Weaver Optics

ONALASKA, Wis. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Whether it’s a stiff breeze on a 300+ yard shot or a howling gale on a 75 yarder, wind drift can be a real shot spoiler.

Caliber, bullet weight, distance and wind speed all combine to determine bullet impact. Some scope reticles, like the Weaver® EBX™ feature wind drift marks to help shooters decide where to hold on windy days.

If you hunt in windy country, practice in wind and make sure you understand how wind affects your bullet flight

Remember the Wind During Long Range Shots

West Virginia DNR

SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. --(AmmoLand.com)- The fall hunting seasons are upon us, and now is a great time for hunters to sight in their firearms to be sure they are on target when they go afield, according to Paul Johansen, Assistant Chief of Game Management of the Wildlife Resources Section of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR).

“Early fall is a pleasant time to visit a shooting range, and public shooting ranges are normally less crowded during this time of year,” said Johansen. “I encourage adults to use this time to introduce our youth to the enjoyment of shooting, and to use this opportunity to instruct youngsters in the methods of safe gun handling.”

The proper sighting in of a firearm involves the use of a safe shooting range, a solid shooting support and a few basic shooting techniques. A shooting range should have a safe backstop and be at least 500 feet from any residence or place where people gather. DNR maintains many public shooting ranges statewide and these facilities are excellent places to sight in a firearm. The location of these ranges can be found on the DNR Web site at www.wvdnr.gov.

Sighting in Techniques
While sighting in a firearm, the firearm should be solidly supported on a sturdy shooting bench using sandbags or a commercial shooting rest. Always place the fore stock of the firearm, not the barrel, on the support. Stock and sight mounting screws should be checked for proper tightness. Be sure that the ammunition is the correct caliber for the firearm and sight in with the ammunition that will be used for hunting. Several different brands and types of ammunition may need to be tested to determine the one best suited for a particular firearm.

Always wear proper eye and ear protection when shooting and be sure other persons nearby are also wearing this protection. Try to time your sighting in sessions so the sun is not shining directly into your face or onto your sights. A sandbag placed between the rear of the stock and your shoulder will greatly reduce felt recoil of heavy recoiling firearms. Assume a comfortable shooting position so your muscles are relaxed. Position the firearm’s sights on the target by adjusting the support so the support holds the firearm on target and little or no effort on your part is required.

Relax, take a deep breath, slowly let the breath out and then smoothly pull the trigger with the pad of the shooting finger when the sights are properly aligned on the target. Be careful not to use the joint area of the shooting finger and do not jerk the trigger in anticipation of the firearm firing. After firing the shot, follow through smoothly and relax before looking at the target or firing another shot.

Fire a three or five shot group, determine the center of the group, and make sight changes if necessary. Follow the firearm or scope manufacturer’s instructions to make the necessary sight adjustments. Fire several more groups, allowing the barrel to cool between groups, to determine if the firearm is properly sighted in. When you are confident that the firearm is properly sighted in, practice shooting several groups from the various unsupported field shooting positions (standing, kneeling, sitting, prone) that likely will be used when hunting.

“Going afield with a properly sighted in firearm will enhance your enjoyment of hunting in the Mountain State,” Johansen concluded.

Leupold Introduces Mark 4 ER/T M3 Front Focal Riflescope

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

• 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.

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.”

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.

Introducing the TR two series
In response to last year’s acclaimed introduction of the Nitrex™ Optics TR one series, Nitrex unveils their next generation of riflescopes. The TR two series continues the tradition of tough and rugged scopes designed for premium big game hunters and features new magnification options of 2-10×42, 2-10×50, 3-15×42, 3-15×50 and 4-20×50.

KONUS M30 6.5X-25X44MM, Illuminated Mil-Dot

Konus Optical & Sports Systems

Miami, Florida - -(ShootingWire.com)- Konus is gearing up for the 2009 hunting season with a variety of tactical Optics for the shooter who wants high quality Optics at a great value. With three new M30 scopes, two handgun scopes and the smallest traditional Red dot sight on the market to date, Konus offers everything a tactical shooter needs to hit the mark this season.

“This lineup of products is truly outstanding,” said Mark Shore, VP of Sales & Marketing, Konus USA. “Not only do they pack the power to rival any competing Optics, they are the best quality Optics at the best value on the market right now.”

After rave reviews, Konus introduces the third generation of its KonusPro M-30 series, offering the ultimate in precision for the professional market including hunting, military use, law enforcement and Bench Rest/target shooting. The 3-12×56 is a versatile scope that can be used for varmint hunting, big game or Bench Rest shooting. The new 1-4×24 is an ideal shotgun or blackpowder scope with long eye relief. And for dangerous game hunters or those who hunt in heavily wooded areas, Konus features the 1.5-6×44, which provides optimum light transmission and is parallax correct at 100 yards.

The M30 line also features its three original and most popular long-range scopes – a 4.5-16×40mm, a 6.5-25×44mm and an 8.5-32×52mm, which along with every other scope in the line, are designed with the Konus glass engraved reticle system. They also boast 30mm tubes, lockable tactical turrets, finger adjustable windage and elevation resettable to zero, a lockable fast focus eyeball, greater resolution, an illuminated BLUE engraved reticle (mil dot or center dot), an anti-canting level system, fully multi-coated high-definition Optics and long eye relief.

For pistol shooters, the new KonusPro 2×28 and 2-8×28 are ideal. Both feature the optimum eye relief needed for handgun shooting, multi-coated Optics, a one-piece tube and a 30/30-style reticle. They are both parallax correct at 50 yards and feature the unique Konus glass engraved reticle system in which the reticle is laser-etched onto precision glass rather than using a thin wire. This eliminates the chances of breaking or becoming misaligned, as is the case with other scopes.

And Konus is thrilled to introduce the new “Sight Pro Atomic”, the smallest and lightest traditional Red dot sight currently on the market with all the features and durability of a full sized unit in an extreme compact footprint. The Sight Pro Atomic is the perfect companion for rifles, shotguns, handguns and a great compliment for carbines, or for mounting on top of traditional riflescopes and/or night vision devices. Its extruded and anodized aluminum body provides unsurpassed structural integrity in the harshest conditions. Weighing a mere 3.8 oz., it is virtually weightless on your firearm. The Sight Pro Atomic features include multi-layered ruby coating, unlimited eye relief, 1x power, parallax free, 4 M.O.A. Red dot.

Nikon Expands Muzzleloader Line of Scopes

Bushnell Outdoor Products

Overland Park, KS - -(AmmoLand.com)- Bushnell introduces the new DOA™ (Dead On Accurate) riflescope reticle that provides both hold-over aiming points and trophy estimation of both whitetail and mule deer. There are two DOA reticles available on a variety of Bushnell riflescopes – the DOA 600™ and DOA 250™. Both are etched glass reticles that are easy to see in any light condition and are unaffected by recoil.

Bushnell Dead On Accurate Scopes

The DOA 600 is calibrated for Centerfire rifles with aim points calibrated at 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 yards. The DOA 250 was designed for use with in-line muzzleloaders (with magnum loads) with aiming points at 100, 150, 200 and 250 yards.

Trophy hunters will appreciate the new Rack Bracket feature of the DOA reticle. To estimate the antler size of a potential trophy deer, with the scope at full power each aiming point has a Rack Bracket reference linethat measures 24 inches (the average distance between the tips of a mule deer’s ears) at the indicated yardage. The Rack Bracket hash marks on each crosshair indicate 17 inches or the average width from ear tip to ear tip for whitetail deer.

Range estimation is based on 100-yard zero and average ballistics of Centerfire and in-line muzzleloaders. One MOA aiming points provide greater measure of accuracy at all indicated ranges.

The new reticles will be available on the following Bushnell riflescopes:

Muzzleloader-DOA 250
Trophy 3-9×40 w/ 6″ eye relief
Trophy 3-9×40 w/ 6″ eye relief Realtree AP

Safariland Introduces Premier Scope

Kowa USA

Los Angeles, California - Kowa Optimed, Inc, leading Optics innovators are proud to announce that they are enhancing the venerable TSN-821M spotting scope to the newly redesigned TSN-82SV at the 138th Annual NRA meeting in Phoenix, Arizona. The TSN-82SV maintains the TSN-821M’s world-class usability and quality for competitive shooters, with a sleeker and more compact size.

Kowa Introduces TSN-82SV Spotting Scope

The TSN-82SV features a large 82mm objective lens, enabling strong light capturing abilities and a bright field of view. This scope is engineered with a multi-coated optic system, delivering impressive image quality and clarity in low light situations. To ensure consistent and accurate performance, the TSN-82SV is constructed with a waterproof housing and is injected with nitrogen gas to help eliminate fog from forming on the lenses, making it capable of withstanding varying outdoor conditions.

The new TSN-82SV offers four optional eyepieces: TE-9Z, TE-14WD, TE-9WD, and TE-17HD. The 21-63x TE-9Z zooming eyepiece lends a 1.8?- 0.95? real field of view (93 – 51 ft at 1000yds). There are also two wide-angle eyepieces available for the 82SV, with the 32x TE-14WD offering a 2.2? real field of view (114ft at 1000yds) and the 50x TE-9WD, offering a 1.3? real field of view (69ft at 1000yds). For those looking for a long eye relief eyepiece, the 27x TE-17HD is available, giving a 2.0? real field of view (105ft at 1000yds), with about 1.25in of eye relief. This makes the TSN-82SV the ideal optic for easily identifying wildlife and targets at long distances, without disturbing the field. The TSN-82SV has a MSRP of $805.00.

“The waterproof and anti-fogging TSN-82SV will maintain the legendary TSN-821M’s performance and will remain the choice for competitive shooters around the world,” says Josh Lazenby of Kowa Optimed. “We are excited to continue Kowa’s tradition for the most technologically innovative advancements in sporting Optics.”

Leupold Mark AR15 Rfle Scopes For Hunting with AR15-Style Rifles

Leupold Scopes

BEAVERTON, Ore. – -(AmmoLand.com)-Leupold’s® Mark AR™ series provides a high-performance, attractively priced riflescope option for those who hunt with AR15-style semi-automatic rifles.

The series includes a 1.5-4×20mm model designed for close- to mid-range shooting, and a 3-9×40mm model for longer-range shooting.

“As more and more hunters take the field with AR15-style rifles, we have seen a growing need for tactical riflescopes that deliver outstanding performance in hunting applications as well as value for the price,” said Mike Slack, Leupold’s marketing communications manager. “Our Mark AR series meets this need, as well as the needs of traditional rifle hunters, with bright, crisp, reliable and rugged Optics that can often make the difference in whether a hunt is successful or not.”

The Mark AR 1.5-4×20mm riflescope features a wide field of view at the low 1.5x magnification (75 feet at 100 yards). Combined with the intermediate-range precision afforded at the 4x magnification, this makes the 1.5-4×20mm an ideal choice for close- or mid-range hunting situations.

To enhance shooting accuracy at longer ranges, the 3-9×40mm has a ½-MOA T2 elevation adjustment that includes a pre-engraved Bullet Drop Compensation (BDC) dial to match the ballistics of common 55-grain .223 Remington/5.56 NATO loads. For a nominal fee, the Leupold Custom Shop can create additional dials to match other calibers and/or loads.

Other key features of the Mark AR riflescopes:

• Multicoat 4® lens system for peak light transmission, superior image brightness, edge-to-edge sharpness across the visual field, and optimal contrast.
• Completely waterproof and fog proof.
• Classic lockable eyepiece to securely maintain focus, with tactile power indicator which makes it easy to tell the scope’s magnification without taking the eye from the eyepiece

Each scope has a one-inch maintube and comes in a non-reflective matte black finish. The 1.5-4×20mm has a Duplex® reticle, measures 9.2 inches long and weighs 9.5 ounces. The 3-9×40mm offers Duplex or Mil Dot reticle options, measures 12.4 inches long and weighs 12.5 ounces.

To ensure superior performance in the field, Leupold factory tests Mark AR riflescopes under the most demanding conditions. They are backed by Leupold’s Tactical Optical Products Warranty.

NIVISYS Industries NSV-80 Clip-On Night Vision Unit

NIVISYS

Tempe, Az– -(AmmoLand.com)- NIVISYS Industries announces a Gen. III day to night-vision conversion system that accurately works at real world tactical speed!

What it does: NIVISYS Industries a NEW state of the art clip-on night vision unit.  Known by model number NSV-80 simply, quickly and accurately clips onto the 1913 Picatinny rail in front of a telescopic sight to turn a daylight system into a night fighting system.  But wait, it gets better!

Why It’s Better: The NSV-80 (night vision sight) does not require operators to have error prone separate night and day zeros on their telescopic sights.  The NSV-80 simply mounts in front of most telescopic sights via a quick-detach Picatinny compatible clip on mount.  While not always required, the NSV-80 also features a rear rubber seal (Litegard) that fits between the scope’s objective lens (or sunshade) and the NSV-80 to eliminate or limit peripheral light.

No Fiddle Factor: The NSV-80 internal Optics makes an accurate full-field view possible even if it is NOT in alignment with the telescopic sight’s objective lens.  In other words, if the reticle is in view, the NSV-80 reticle is still on target without further adjustment.  No need for potential zeroing errors when converting from day to night operations.  NIVISYS’ NSV-80 provides a clear and precise parallax-proof conversion from day Optics to dark time without any scope adjustments.

Zeiss Optics, that’s why!  The Optics system and housing of the NSV-80 is made by Zeiss Optics.  Then the unit is sent to the folks at NIVISYS where their superior-quality generation III electronics and intensifier tube are installed.  Obviously Zeiss was very selective with whom they partnered with and they choose to partner exclusively with NIVISYS on this outstanding user friendly no mess no fuss system.

NIVISYS Industries NSV-80 Clip-On Night Vision Unit

The unit is so ergonomically friendly that it can be mounted and operated in total darkness (no need for any red flashlights, etc.) and even with the operator wearing gloves.  Simply clip on and turn on.

Magnification:……………………1X
Power:…………………………….Two AA alkaline batteries.
Objective lens diameter:…….. 3.346 inches   (85mm)
Width):………………………….. 37/8″   (98mm)

Length:…………………………. 103/4″ (268mm not including detachable rubber litegard)

Carson Introduces The Redesigned And Improved Stuff-It Lens Cloth

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.

Trijicon RMR Red dot Sight

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’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 screw driver 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.

For more information on the new Trijicon RMR Sights or any of the company’s proven self-luminous aiming systems for tactical and sporting applications, contact:

New Trijicon RMR — Toughest Red Dot Sight On The Market

Pennsylvania Game Commission

HARRISBURG, PA – -(AmmoLand.com)- The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners, in a notational vote, yesterday gave preliminary approval to a regulatory change that would allow hunters to use magnifying scopes on bows or crossbows during the archery deer and archery bear seasons.

At its January meeting, the Board gave final approval to a regulatory change to permit the use of crossbows in archery deer and bear seasons.  Prior to that vote, however, the Board accepted an amendment to prohibit the use of magnifying scopes during the archery deer and bear seasons.

“The agency has received significant public comment about that vote, the Board decided it would be appropriate to revisit this aspect of the recently approved use of crossbows in the state’s archery seasons,” said Carl G. Roe, Game Commission executive director.  “This notational vote will require final adoption at a future meeting of the Board, and we are hoping to have that vote take place at the Board’s scheduled public meeting in April.”

The Board will meeting on April 20 and 21, in the auditorium of the agency’s Harrisburg headquarters at 2001 Elmerton Ave., just off the Progress Avenue exit of Interstate 81 in Harrisburg. A copy of the agenda for the upcoming meeting will be posted on the agency’s website prior to the meeting.

On Monday, April 20, the Board will gather public comments and hear Game Commission staff reports beginning at 8:30 a.m. Doors open at 7:45 a.m. Registration for those interested in offering public testimony – limited to five minutes – also will begin at that time.

On Tuesday, April 21, beginning at 8:30 a.m., the Game Commission will take up its prepared agenda.  Among other items on the agenda will be final approval for hunting and trapping seasons and bag limits for 2009-10, as well as antlerless deer license allocations. Doors open at 7:45 a.m. Harvest results from the 2008-09 deer seasons will be announced in mid-March.

Pennsylvania Board Takes Step To Reverse Prohibition On Magnifying Scopes

Nikon Expands Slughunter Scopes

Nikon Hunting

Melville, NY - -(AmmoLand.com)- Slug gun users now have another choice for their favorite shotgun. An all-new 1.65-5×36 SlugHunter joins the original 3-9×40 SlugHunter in providing hunters with two great options.

The new SlugHunter 1.65-5×36 features an increased exit pupil for better low-light performance in a more compact version. Available with the proven BDC 200 reticle specifically calibrated for ballistic tipped Sabot slugs, and a lower profile objective for low mounting, this slug gun scope is as accurate as any riflescope Nikon has ever produced.

“For some hunting situations, a fast, instinctive target acquisition in lowlight means the difference between success and failure,” said Jon LacCorte, Senior Product Marketing Manager. “By using some attributes of dangerous game scopes we created a fast handling, super accurate scope for slug gun shooters.”

Five full inches of eye relief and Nikon’s legendary durability mean you can comfortably, safely and securely mount this scope on even the hardest kicking slug guns. With a super bright exit pupil of 7.2 and Nikon’s multicoated lenses means shooters can hunt right up to the end of legal shooting time. A 45-ft of view @ 1.65x allows the shooter to find the target quickly and reliably while the durable one-inch tube and 1/4 MOA adjustment mean simple and easy sight in sessions.

The new SlugHunter is available in a matte finish with the BDC-200 or Nikoplex reticle and features a 75-yd parallax setting. The MSRP is $229.95 for the NikoPlex and $239.95 for the BDC-200.

Nikon Expands Slughunter Line of Scopes

Trijicon, Inc. ACOG Scopes

Trijicon, Inc. - -(AmmoLand.com)- The world leader in Brilliant Aiming Solutions™ for hunting, law enforcement and military applications, has developed new optical variations to its renowned Trijicon ACOG® models — compact telescopic sights with dual-illuminated reticle patterns for use in low light or at night. Additionally, Trijicon has announced a brand new Trijicon ACOG line of scopes, measuring just four inches long.

In 2009, the following enhancements will be available to select Trijicon ACOGs:

Green reticles will now be available in many ACOG models, in addition to red and amber. Appearing at the center of the color spectrum, green allows the human eye to adjust to it very quickly and appears very bright in low to no light situations.
Horseshoe reticle patterns, developed at the request of the United States Military, will be available on the ACOG 4×32 (TA31H) and 3.5×35 (TA11H) model scopes, allowing for very fast target acquisition.

Reticles calibrated for the 6.8 SPC round, allowing for the conversion of an AR15 into an excellent hog and deer hunting rifle.

Also new for 2009, is a shorter, more lightweight Trijicon ACOG 1.5x magnification model. Measuring almost an inch shorter than the current Trijicon ACOG 1.5x model, this four inch long scope will offer a reduced profile and lighter weight, making it an excellent optic for carry handles or on a flat-top SBR (Short Barreled Rifle). There is also a newly designed circle dot reticle for faster target acquisition. As with all Trijicon ACOGs, the new 1.5x model is dry nitrogen filled to eliminate fogging, is waterproof to 328-feet, features multi-coated lenses to provide superior clarity and light-gathering capabilities with zero distortion, has battery-free illumination, is encased in a forged 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum housing, and utilizes built-in fiber Optics to automatically adjust the brightness level and contrast of Trijicon’s illuminated tritium reticle.

The PS22-3 uses ATN’s standard 3rd generation image intensifier tubes (IIT). They have a micro channel plate, GAAs photocathode, and a completely self-contained integral high-voltage power supply. These 3rd generation tubes provide a combined increase in resolution, signal to noise and photosensitivity over tubes with a multi-alkali photocathode. Generation 3 is the standard for the USA military. Highlights of the 3rd generation specifications are the typical SNR of 22 and resolution of 64 lp/mm.

The PS22-3 is packaged with a Trijicon 4×32 ACOG 1 QRM riflescope. Trijicon 4×32 ACOG scope TA01NSN with Amber Center Illumination for M4A1 fits the AR15/M16 flat-top rifles and includes the TA51 mount. Modifications to this Trijicon Special Forces TA01 NSN model include an integral rear ghost ring aperture and a tritium glow-in the-dark front sight (yellow center illumination) for close-quarter-combat/back-up sighting, and includes a flat top adapter, back-up iron sights and dust cover.

Sightmark® Tactical 1.5-5x30 Riflescope

Mansfield, TX – -(AmmoLand.com)- Sightmark, a leader in gun accessory designs, has introduced a new riflescope that compliments the already strong, riflescope lineup.

The new Tactical 1.5-5×30 Riflescope offers a wide field of view and compact size that is highly desirable for use in close combat situations. The riflescope has all the features law enforcement and military require.

This riflescope features a mil-dot reticle as well as first focal plane to make ranging targets as easy as possible. The National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) has recently given this riflescope the ‘NTOA Tested and Recommended’ seal of approval.

As with all of Sightmark’s riflescopes, the Tactical 1.5-5×30 is waterproof, fog proof and nitrogen purged.

The riflescope also features a 30mm tube that creates the widest field of view possible and increases light transmission which is especially important in close combat situations where lighting varies dramatically

Sightmark has seen an increased demand for over-sized turrets and has incorporated this into the design. A NTOA member from Maryland stated, “…the adjustments can be made in ¼” MOA adjustments, a great feature even for a scope with 5x magnification. The knob also gives a very distinct ‘click’ with every adjustment.” Furthermore this NTOA member stated, “It also has a bump notch to catch my finger on when making an adjustment. I found this to be a nice ergonomic feature.” Sightmark’s goal was to make an operator friendly riflescope that can be adjusted quickly and accurately. Additionally, the Optics are fully multicoated to create the sharpest and clearest image possible which translates into quickly acquiring targets.

The Tactical 1.5-5×30 riflescope has more than just close combat potential. People should not shy away from using it on larger caliber weapons and double rifles. This riflescope should be used not only for home defense but also for big game hunting.

This riflescope is compact, lightweight and can be used on a multitude of applications. James Sellers, CEO of Sellmark, says, “We have designed a riflescope that works well on the extremely popular AR platform and that was our goal. This riflescope will excel in 3 gun matches, home defense, African safaris and urban combat situations.”

Sightmark products are inspired by military and law enforcement applications. All 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, laser sights, night vision and award winning flashlights and Boresights.

Sightmark takes pride in bringing the highest quality tactical, hunting and shooting accessories to the shooting enthusiast.

Sightmark is headquartered in Mansfield, TX U.S.A. For more information on Sightmark’s products, log on to www.sightmark.com.

Alpen Optics Received Top Honors From Field & Stream

Alpen 711 20X50 Mini Spotting Scope

AlpenOptics.com

Field & Stream - -(AmmoLand.com)- Alpen Optics continues to impress magazine editors from some of the largest outdoor publications in the land. Field & Stream Magazine recently did a field test comparing five different spotting scopes to see which spotting scopes performed the best.

A variety of tests were performed – how well they performed in low light, how easy they are to hold one-handed, how sharp they are, and how bright they are were a few of the tests performed. Out of all five spotting scopes tested, the Alpen model 711 20X50 mini spotting scope received top honors.

Some of the top name brand spotting scopes in the industry were tested and Alpen walked away leading the pack. It is also important to note that out of all spotting scopes tested, the Alpen model 711 was the least expensive, proving what Alpen has known for a long time: you don’t have to break the bank to own a high-quality, crystal-clear spotting scope or pair of binoculars.

“We are very proud that magazines like Field & Stream continue to see the quality and value found in Alpen Optics. The 711 is a great spotting scope for birding, hunting or any sport where a compact spotting scope is needed,” Vickie Gardner said.

Over the past decade, Alpen Optics has won numerous field test awards because of their never ending drive to build Optics that perform in the field, at the race track or in the backyard that are long-lasting, crystal-clear and reasonably priced.

The Alpen Model 711 is one of many quality products that Alpen Optics offers. Alpen offers spotting scopes, rifle scopes and binoculars for every lifestyle and price range.
