4X32 BAC ACOG

RSR Group

Winter Park, FL --(Ammoland.com)- RSR Group, Inc. and Trijicon are pleased to introduce the RSR Group Exclusive ACOG – TA31HG-DE, an innovative product that brings together some of the best features of the ACOG Series.

The RSR Group Exclusive 4X32 BAC ACOG features a green horseshoe reticle, a dovetailed tritium front sight post, the Trijicon TA51 thumbscrew mount, and a dark earth finish. This combat-ready optic offers everything a shooter needs for their tactical long gun.

Units will be available through RSR Group, Inc. (SKU # TRTA31HG-DE).

The ACOGs are internally adjustable, compact telescopic sights with tritium illuminated reticle patterns for use in low light or at night. Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC) models feature bright daytime reticles, which use fiber optics that collect ambient light.

The ACOGs combine traditional, precise distance marksmanship with close-in aiming speed. Although the ACOGs have many features advantageous for military use, they were developed by Trijicon without government funding. Every feature of their mechanical and optical design was chosen for a single purpose: to provide increased hit potential in all lighting conditions — without failure-prone batteries.

“We’re pleased to be able to offer this exclusive product to our customers,” said Christina Fisher, RSR Group’s Senior Vice President. “Developing exclusive items with industry leaders such as Trijicon allows us to meet the needs of the market and offer our dealers an advantage.”

RSR Group, Inc. is committed to the total satisfaction of its customers by providing a well-stocked selection of products at competitive prices. With five sales centers across the U.S. and a distribution center located in Texas, RSR Group is able to provide fast and reliable service.

Trijicon Scopes

Raton, NM --(AmmoLand.com)- Trijicon®, world leader in Brilliant Aiming Solutions™, has introduced the new ‘Trijicon Aiming For Excellence’ Hunt Skills Award and increased its annual support to become a new Silver Sponsor of the NRA Whittington Center’s Adventure Camp.

At this unique camp set on more than 33,000 acres in the rugged New Mexico wilderness, top volunteer industry instructors share their expertise on the fundamentals of pistol, rifle, muzzleloading, and shotgun skills with teenagers from all over the U.S. It includes courses on everything from wilderness map reading, preparing a hunting camp, and animal tracking to game calls, care of downed game and wildlife management techniques. The non-profit camp features two 13-day summer sessions of approximately 40 campers each, for kids ages 13 to 17.

Trijicon personnel held an instructional seminar at the camp this summer, introducing the new annual award — ‘Trijicon’s Aiming for Excellence.’ The winner from each session was the camper with the highest score in the comprehensive Hunt Skills testing segment of the camp, and each won a specially engraved Trijicon AccuPoint® riflescope. The challenging course includes hunter safety instruction, tracking, and completing a back country walk-though “hunt,” where the participants were faced with shooting targets of a wide range of animals, making sure that they were in season and were the ones for which they were given a faux license.

Darren Curry, of Los Cruces New Mexico, won the ‘Trijicon Aiming for Excellence’ award during the second session of the camp.

“The Hunt Skills class was my favorite part of the camp — it was so cool to learn all about hunting and safety and then go on the hunt itself and apply everything we’d learned,” says the 14-year-old, who had never been hunting before. “I can’t wait to use the Trijicon AccuPoint I won on an elk hunt my dad is going to take me on. I’ve been practicing at the range with it and love the illuminated reticle!”

The winner from the first session was Jacob Sanchez from Rancho Cucamonga, CA, (see photo.)

Trijicon has been donating both funds and a wide range of its industry-leading products, including Trijicon AccuPoint® riflescopes, ACOGs® and Bright & Tough™ night sights for pistols, to this exceptional program for the past three years. As part of the company’s ongoing commitment to engaging with young shooting sports enthusiasts, and ensuring the future legacy of the industry, Trijicon has increased its donations for 2009, which resulted in joining the ranks of other leading manufacturers in the Silver Sponsor sector.

“The sponsors that contribute to the NRA Whittington Center Adventure Camp program are not only developing the next generation of shooters and outdoor enthusiasts, but are actively engaged in a character-building experience that will stay with these participants for the rest of their lives,” says Bill Perkins, Camp Director. “Family members frequently comment about the maturity and personal growth that they see after only 13 days. By the end of camp, the campers have learned valuable firearm safety skills but they have also developed self-confidence that occurs from successfully meeting a challenge.”

Trijicon values the opportunity to engage with youth to ensure the viability and future of the industry.

“Teaching these amazing young people the proper use and care of firearms and fundamentals of hunting and shooting sports only makes our future stronger. We hope that the campers will be able to take what they learn here and pass it on to friends, family and eventually their own children,” says Trijicon’s Senior Marketing Coordinator Susan Belanger. “We’re very proud to introduce the Trijicon Aiming for Excellence Award to the NRA Whittington Center’s Adventure Camp this year. We wanted to reward the camper at each session that best exemplifies the essence of Trijicon’s beliefs — aiming for excellence in all we do is a standard for Trijicon — we take pride in our products and how they help military, law enforcement officers and hunters all across the world. The winners of this award have shown that they also take pride in themselves and are willing to help others.”

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.

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 Trijicon, Inc. at 49385 Shafer Ave., Wixom, MI 48393 • Telephone: (800) 338-0563 • Or visit www.trijicon.com.

Trijicon RMR Wins Coveted 'Optic Of The Year' Award

Wixom, MI - -(AmmoLand.com)- Trijicon, Inc., the world leader in the development of a wide range of Brilliant Aiming Solutions™ for the military, law enforcement and hunting/shooting markets, has been honored by the Firearms Marketing Group’s (FMG) Academy of Excellence for its innovative new Trijicon RMR™ Sight.

Trijicon RMR Red Dot Sight

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. Shooting Industry Magazine has held the popular annual award selection process since 1992, when it created a program that quickly became known for its integrity, with final selections based solely upon merit of the individual products and companies nominated. The winners are selected by 500 top industry executives, gun dealers and outdoor writers, as opposed to being decided on by an editorial board or influenced by advertising clout.

The Trijicon RMR had some stiff competition in the Academy’s optics category. 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.

“We designed the new RMR sight to be as rugged and versatile as our own Trijicon ACOGs, as well as to provide ease of sighting and adjustment, solving important issues often associated with other red dot sights,” says Tom Munson, Trijicon’s Director of Sales and Marketing. “We’ve been thrilled with the overwhelming response from the industry, and receiving this award from the members of the Academy is a true affirmation that our efforts to innovate are resonating throughout all channels in the marketplace.”

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.

Trijicon Scopes

Trijicon, Inc. - -(AmmoLand.com)- The world leader in Brilliant Aiming Solutions™, is introducing its longest-range scope ever in its highly acclaimed, AccuPoint™ series.

Using advanced fiber-optics and tritium aiming point illumination, the new Trijicon AccuPoint 5-20×50 riflescope speeds target acquisition and extends available shooting hours. The dual-illumination fiber optic system automatically adjusts aiming-point brightness to existing lighting conditions. This provides shooters with perfect aiming-point illumination and ideal reticle to target contrast. The result is lightning-fast precision aiming in any light for maximum shooting success.

Industry-leading features of the brand new Trijicon AccuPoint 5-20×50 riflescope include long range capabilities due to its impressive light-gathering 50mm objective, adjustable parallax and large, easy-to-use external turret adjustment controls.

The scope’s body is crafted from rugged, aircraft-quality, hard-anodized aluminum to provide all-weather protection against the toughest elements and is waterproof up to ten feet. The tube is also filled with dry nitrogen to prevent corrosion and eliminate fogging. Featuring the standard duplex and Mil-Dot crosshair reticles, the multi-layer coated lenses yield superior clarity and light gathering capabilities with zero distortion.

Measuring 13.6” long by 3.2” wide and 2.5” high (345 x 82 x 65mm) the Trijicon AccuPoint 5-20×50 riflescope offers unparalleled long eye-relief to protect against the high-impact recoil of larger caliber rifles.

Trijicon Tritium Handgun Sights in Action

Mfr: TRIJICON

Brownells.com

Brownells.com - -(AmmoLand.com)- Nighttime and low light shooting tests prove sights equipped with these glowing dots are easier to see and more accurate than instinctive shooting with standard black sights. Rugged, heavy duty, Traser®, luminous, 3-Dot tritium lamps provide their own long-lasting energy source. Lamps are mounted in silicone-sealed, metal cylinders to give maximum protection from breakage or leakage. Polished sapphire, crystal windows give a bright, crisp and perfectly round aiming dot in low light. Inlaid white rings around each sapphire make the sights appear as standard white dots in daylight. Very narrow blades do not have the white ring and will look more like a plain black blade in daylight. Most can be installed in factory dovetail or sight base. Glock® models require use of special Trijicon installation tools to prevent sight damage.

The First Choice Of Major Handgun Manufacturers
Featuring glowing tritium-filled lamps for a distinctive shooting
picture in any light, Trijicon Bright & Tough™ Night Sights bring the
advantages of self-illuminating technology to sidearm users.
These three-dot iron sights increase night-fire shooting accuracy
by as much as five times over conventional sights – with the same
speed as instinctive shooting – and without the need for batteries.
In addition, they feature a white ring around the glowing dots for
unsurpassed daylight visibility.

Highly effective in close-quarters, Trijicon Night Sights are widely
used in military applications, home defense, as well as standard
issue with hundreds of police departments and federal agencies.

Trijicon Tritium Handgun Sights

What is Tritium?:
Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen. It is an odorless, tasteless, colorless gas that reacts with the human body in the same manner as natural hydrogen. Beta rays from the tritium hit phosphors to create the glow you see. Tritium has a half-life of 12.5 years, which means that in that time the lamp will be half as bright as it originally was.

Is tritium harmful?
According to documentation by health physicists in statements on file at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), it would take the simultaneous rupture of 10,000 of these small glass capsules in a small room 10 foot by 10 foot to potentially constitute a radiation health hazard. For this reason, customers need not be concerned about the potential risk of the night sight system. Furthermore, our front sight is 0.018 curies and the two rear sight dots are 0.018 curies each. A complete sighting system is 0.054 curies. This is less than many tritium watches, which have up to 0.200 curies or roughly four times as much radioactivity. In addition, the weapon is not as close to the body, and in less constant use than a watch.

As a SWAT Operator and former Infantryman in the US Army, Trijicon has been the one constant provider of optics that I have trusted my life and the lives of my men to without fail. Trijicon optics are second to none and every SWAT team in America should have them in their inventory.” Sgt. Jeremy Clark SWAT Team Leader, Former US Army Airborne Infantry

SPECS: Steel, blued with tritium inserts. Sights listed as Adj. are adjustable sights to fit guns originally equipped with factory, adjustable sights. Sights listed as Fxd. fit guns originally equipped with factory, fixed sights. S&W models fit 3rd generation only, will NOT fit guns originally equipped with plastic sights.

Trijicon, Inc - -(AmmoLand.com)- The unrivaled leader in Brilliant Aiming Solutions™ for a wide range of sporting and tactical applications, has developed the new Trijicon AccuPoint™ 1-4×24 riflescope to maintain the company’s position as a favorite provider of innovative aiming solutions for tactical shooters, law enforcement professionals and safari hunters of big and dangerous game across the globe. Trijicon’s AccuPoint 1-4×24 variable riflescope features true 1x, and up to 4x, magnification with a straight 30mm tube, allowing more light and consistent eye relief at all magnifications.

Shooting and hunting enthusiasts have chosen the battery-free, illuminated reticle riflescopes in Trijicon’s AccuPoint line for their ability to provide lightning-fast target acquisition and pinpoint accuracy in any light. In an effort to enhance popular existing products, while providing users with a scope particularly suited to their unique needs in the area of low variable power magnification, Trijicon has designed the AccuPoint 1-4×24 riflescope with true 1x magnification for the really close-in shots at which targets are often engaged. The variable scope’s 30mm tube design also allows for a much broader range of mounting options in order to acquire proper eye relief.

In designing the new Trijicon AccuPoint 1-4×24 riflescope, Trijicon engineers incorporated all of the features that have made the Trijicon AccuPoint line the favorite among safari hunters. These unique features include optimum quality glass, a rugged aircraft quality aluminum body, dual illumination through the use of fiber optics and tritium phosphor lamps, highly reliable battery-free operation, waterproof up to ten feet and a choice of several post and crosshair reticle options.

Trijicon Accupoint Scopes

Cactus Tactical

Cactus Tactical - -(AmmoLand.com)- Rifle scopes have been around for a long time, however, recent advances in technology have improved performance in all respects. The 3:1 zoom barrier for variable power optics is now about 4:1. Light transmission and recoil resistance has vastly improved. We also enjoy more selections of finishes, power ranges, mounts, and diameters. Long range shooters have placed demands on manufacturers to produce scopes in higher powers, finer and more useful reticles, more accessible and repeatable zero knobs, and better eye relief. It’s not unusual to spend more money on optics than on a rifle.

Scopes became popular for hunting and were designed on the 1 power per 25 yards concept (for deer sized game). That concept remains today. The most popular scope on the market is a 3-9X variable or 75 to 250 yds range. This matches the effective hunting range for most standard high power rifles.

Power is the rating for how much the optics magnifies the image. These ratings are usually overstated. Example: a scope rated for 3-9X may really be 3.4-8.5X.

Eye relief is the distance your eye must be from the lens to get a full view through the scope and is usually stated in a range of inches. Example: a scope with an eye relief of 3-4.2 inches would allow a full view when your eye is between 3 and 4.2 inches from the lens. The higher the power, the narrower the eye relief range will be and the harder it is for the shooter to sight through the scope and pick up a target.

Light transfer (or brilliance) is the ability for a scope to transfer light from the front lens to the eye. The more lenses in the scope or the smaller the lenses, the greater the light loss. Variable power scopes loose more light than a fixed power scope because they have more lenses. Light transfer is very important when shooting in lower light conditions. Clarity and distortion is a product of lens quality. The clearer and more distortion free the view, the better the scope and usually the more expensive it will be. The Objective lens (front lens) size has a lot to do with light transfer, clarity, and distortion. The bigger the objective lens, the better, to a point. Larger lenses require higher mounts to clear the barrel.

Field of view is the width of the view in yards, at 100 yds distance. The wider the better and the easier it will be to spot the target. The more powerful the scope, the narrower the field of view.
Parallax is the least understood and a most important scope parameter. Explanation: Place your rifle in a vise or cleaning jig where it can be aimed down range, hands off. Adjust position until crosshairs are dead on target. Look through the scope and move your head around. Parallax is evident when the crosshairs appear to move on the target when the rifle is stationary and your eye moves. All scopes have some parallax, however it becomes more evident at 9X and above. The more powerful the scope, the more parallax you will experience. This is bad because you must have the same exact hold and view for each shot to keep the rifle on target. Many scopes above 9X have a parallax correction ring on the objective lens that is calibrated in yards/meters. If your target is at 200 yds, make sure the ring is set for 200 yds, otherwise you will still get parallax. This will keep you busy when varmint hunting. Many shooters think their rifle shoots bad groups when the blame is really on scope parallax.

Wiggle is a distractive side affect of scopes. When the shooter wiggles a little, the scope seems to amplify the movement down range. You can even see the effects of your heartbeat. The more powerful the scope, the more you will notice wiggle and the more it distracts you.
Thermal distortion is a phenomenon caused from heat rising from the ground and creating a wavy movement in the scope. Long range shooters sometimes use this for judging wind directions. Mostly, it is an annoyance that distorts the distant target. Thermal distortion is more distracting with higher power scopes.

Reticles are the aiming devise in a scope commonly called cross hairs. Ideally, you want them heavy enough to see in subdued light and thin enough so they won’t blot out the target. A good compromise is the dual reticle where the center lines are thin and the outer lines are heavy. Tactical scopes have mil-dot or other lines calibrated in minutes of angle (MOA). Knowledge of ballistics will enable the shooter to compensate for distance and windage using the calibrated marks for hold over.

Zero knobs are the screw adjustments, one on top, the other on the right side that are used to set the reticle where point of aim is the point of impact. The main difference between a tactical scope and a hunting scope is the reticle and zero knobs. Hunting scopes have a removable cap that allows access to the adjusting screws made for a screwdriver or coin. Target and tactical scopes have exposed knobs that can be adjusted with fingers. Most adjustments have click stops so the shooter can count the clicks when moving the screw. The finer the adjustment, rated in clicks per MOA, the more precise you can adjust zero. Four clicks or more per MOA is recommended. Most zero knobs have a dial that can be set to a zero mark after sight in. This mark becomes the reference point if the knobs are moved to compensate for windage or elevation. Repeatability with zero adjustments is very important. If you move up 8 clicks, left 8 clicks, down 8 clicks and right 8 clicks, the point if impact should be exactly where it was to start with. Many scopes will not pass this test.
The focus adjustment is usually the rear lens group that is threaded on the tube and locked in place with a threaded ring. To focus a scope, loosen the lock ring and back it off several turns. Look down range and rotate the lens group in/out until you find a point where the reticle and target are both in focus. Close your eye for a few seconds and do it again. When you find the focus point, tighten the lock ring. Always focus the scope before shooting for zero. Some scopes have a focus knob located on the side. This is really a parallax adjustment.

Most shooters “over scope” their rifles (too much magnification). They end up with the worst attributes so they buy a more expensive one thinking it will solve their problems. Remember, eye relief, light transfer, clarity, distortion, field of view, parallax, wiggle, and thermal distortion are all made worse by higher magnification and variable power. Give me a 6 or 8X fixed power, 30mm tube, with target knobs and good glass.

The scope is only as good as the mounts. Buy the best rings and base you can get. Mounts can shoot loose, even if loc-tight is used (recommended), especially on those heavy recoil calibers. Weaver style tip offs are OK on a 223 Rem but should be avoided on anything bigger. Use Scope Mount Rings that will position the front lens group so a lens cap will fit between the barrel and scope. Higher base and rings will cause more whiplash and will shoot loose easier.

Scopes can cost from $40 to $2000. Let your billfold be your guide. You get what you pay for. Don’t expect Zeiss performance from a Tasco. IOR Valdada give excellent performance for their price. A good selection of scopes are available from Cactus Tactical at very competitive prices.
