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.

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

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 3-9x40mm 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

Insight Tech-Gear

LONDONDERRY, NH --(AmmoLand.com)- Insight Tech-Gear, the world’s leading provider of tactical lasers, illuminators and thermal imaging equipment, announced that the new MRDS Mini Red Dot Sight has been selected as an Editors’ Choice Award by the editors of On Target magazine.

The MRDS, a lightweight, ruggedized reflex sight that mounts to many existing optics as well as MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny and Weaver-style rails, was selected based on the improved durability and features compared to similar products in the market.

“The MRDS was born from the U.S. Military’s requirement for a reflex sight that was significantly more durable than earlier versions. The specification calls for a sight that can survive environmental extremes, handles punishing recoil across a range of military arms and can survive the rigors of combat conditions. Insight’s MRDS does that and more,” said Ben Battles, editor of On Target.

Insight Tech-Gear Announces MRDS Mini Red Dot Sight

“On top of the amazing durability of the MRDS, Insight added features that appeal to any level of operator. The lightweight design, the 1 MOA positive click windage and elevation adjustments, the hard off, the auto and manual dot intensity adjustment – and particularly the top load batter feature – clearly make the MRDS an Editors’ Choice.”

Hundreds of thousands for consumers, as well as dealers, rely on On Target magazine for the latest information on new gear to help them make the right purchasing decisions which is why On Target has become one of the most trusted resources for the gun buying public,” said Devin Standard, executive director for Insight Tech-Gear.
