Posted by: | Comments
From Nikon:
Recognizing the popularity of AR rifles, Nikon has developed a new line of riflescopes built to deliver extreme speed, accuracy and shooting confidence. The M-223 line offers five new riflescopes, all engineered for the 223 Rem./5.56mm NATO round with 55-grain polymer tipped bullet with a muzzle velocity of 3240fps. With Nikon’s latest reticle and adjustment technologies, the M-223 integrates the same level of quality as the flagship Monarch riflescopes.
Crimson Trace LG-406 Laserguard for S&W Sigma
Posted by: | Comments
Crimson Trace announced a new laser sighting system for the Smith & Wesson Sigma pistols: the Crimson Trace LG-406 Laserguard.
The new Laserguard mounts to the front of the trigger guard, under the barrel, with an activation button on the front of the grip, so activation is instinctual like on the Lasergrip series of lasers.
The LG-406 is due out soon and will retail for $209.
Nikon Introduces TurkeyPro Shotgun Scopes
Posted by: | Comments
Just in time for 2010 spring turkey seasons, Nikon introduces the new 1.65-5×36mm TurkeyPro Shotgun Scope with Ballistic Turkey Reticle (BTR) available in Realtree APG, Mossy Oak Break Up or matte black to match your shotgun’s finish.
The new BTR reticle is designed to work as a ranging tool as well as an aiming device. The BTR’s circle within a circle construction allows shooters to use convergence to know when a turkey steps into range. Hunters simply place the small circle, on low power, or the large circle, on high power, to cover or subtend the turkey from head to wattles at 40 yards. The center circle acts as the aiming point and allows the shooter to still “see” the exact target spot even on low power.
Sig Sauer P238 Tactical Laser
Posted by: | Comments
The P238 Tactical Laser was introduced by Sig Sauer at the 2010 SHOT Show. This .380 ACP pistol shares many of the same features as its single-action brethren including Siglite night sights, frame mounted safety and a 6+1 capacity. It differs, though, in looks and with the addition of a laser.
The Sig laser is mounted under the barrel, on the front of the trigger guard. The on/off switch is on the side of the laser housing, and seems easy to reach with either hand while holding the pistol.
