Burris MTAC Tactical Riflescope

Burris Optics

GREELEY, Colo. --(Ammoland.com)- Recognizing the explosive growth in 3-Gun competition shooting, Burris has developed a new line of riflescopes built to deliver precision, performance, versatility and shooter confidence.

The new MTAC line offers five new scopes that are designed for the tactical shooters and 3-gun competitors, but are versatile enough for use in the field.

The new MTAC series consists of a 1x-4x 24mm, 1.5x-6x 40mm, 3.5x-10x 42mm, 4.5x-14x 42mm and a 6.5x-20x 50mm. The MTAC 1x-4x 24mm, with its wide field-of-view and illuminated Ballistic CQ 5.56/7.62 reticle is the perfect companion for any AR-style firearm. This scope allows you to quickly and easily engage close targets or take precise aim to 600 yards. For those that want more versatility and confidence for the short-range fast shots, it is also available as a package with the popular FastFireä red-dot reflex sight. Like the 1x-4x scope, the 1.5x-6x 40mm offers an illuminated reticle, but is more suited when longer-range shots are more common.

For the long-range tactical shooter, the MTAC offers three scopes, 3.5x-10x 42mm, 4.5x-14x 42mm and a 6.5x-20x 50mm, all of which have adjustable parallax. All three scopes feature the popular G2B Mil-Dot reticle for precise aiming, distance measurement, holdover and hold off. Additionally these scopes sport the new MTAC Mil-Rad knobs with finger-adjustable/resettable dials for windage and elevation.

The five new riflescopes in the Burris MTAC line offer a generous four inches of eye relief, rubber-coated eyepiece and are made with rugged 30mm tubes. All lenses are precision ground optics that are index matched, multi-coated with the Burris proprietary HiLumeä coating for unsurpassed clear, sharp, high-resolution images.

The new MTAC scope line will be available at retailers in the first quarter of 2012. Suggested retail pricing is: 1x-4x 24mm, $399; 1x-4x 24mm with FastFire, $599; 1.5x-6x 40mm, $399; 3.5x-10x 42mm, $449; 4.5x-14x 42mm, $549; and 6.5x-20x 50mm, $699.

Weaver Unveils Tactical Scopes Featuring Illuminated Reticles

Weaver Optics

ONALASKA, Wis. --(Ammoland.com)- Weaver introduces new tactical optics and accessories.

These tactical products are precision machined to the strictest tolerances to perform in adverse conditions.

The new accessories are made in the U.S.A. Tactical optics and accessories are now available.

Hostile Environments; Tactical Precision
Whether in-competition or on-duty, Weaver understands there is no room for error. That’s why Weaver engineered, designed and tested these tactical products to perform under the most severe conditions.

They feature fully multi-coated lenses and a one-piece, 30mm Argon purged tube. Waterproof, shockproof and fogproof tolerances deliver proven, rugged performance. And, new tactical accessories (MSRP: $37.95 – $100.49) enable precision shooters to outfit their firearms for each mission.

Tactical shooters can sight-in from a distance with new long and intermediate range scopes. These scopes boast advanced technology and ten illumination settings. First focal plane reticles and aggressive knurling provide fast, precise aiming. Aircraft-grade aluminum construction achieves greater strength and positive weight reduction.

“We take our tactical optics very seriously,” said Product Marketing Manager Tom Knudtson. “Our optics experts have done a lot of work on these reticles, glass and overall scope design to meet the needs of law enforcement professionals, military officers and other precision shooters.”

Mounting Systems
Four new tactical accessories are ideal for upgrading AR-style rifles. First, the Picatinny Riser Set minimizes weight and bulk while delivering optimal mounting height for a wide range of optic/ring combinations. Second, the full-length AR-15 Flat Top Riser Rail features 20 MOA of vertical cant to enable extended optics range adjustments.

The Weaver Tactical SPR (Special Purpose Rifle) 30mm Optics Mount delivers solid holding-power to withstand aggressive recoil. Hand-adjustable knobs enable no-tool installation and removal. The last new addition to the tactical lineup is Weaver’s Fixed Back-Up Iron Sight. It features no vertical or horizontal point-of-impact shift when switching from precision to CQB aperture, keeping shooters on target and in the action.
