I never thought I would hear myself say this, but Nikon has come out with a binocular that can challenge the top performing binoculars like Zeiss, Swarovski and Leica. The Nikon edg binoculars are some of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of using. The ED glass has great contrast, shows great detail, and is very bright. They have a good close focus distance 9.8 feet and an impressive field of view at 400 feet at 1000 yards. The binocular body is magnesium and gives them a comfortable weight of 28.6 ounces. These binoculars also feature winged eye cups, a feature most binocular users enjoy. The design is also easy to focus and hold securely even with gloved hands and wet conditions. The eye relief on these Nikon binoculars is also suitable for people with and without glasses and would make for comfortable viewing for anyone. I tested these binoculars at both close and long ranges; I was able to focus on objects as close as 8 feet away, and also clearly able to see details of leaves such as veins at 100 yards. All of these benefits coupled with the fact that that Nikon is giving a free Nikon d3000 camera away with purchase of and EDG binocular or spotting scope makes this a very attractive deal. I would highly recommend the new Nikon edg optics to anyone. That’s the word from sportoptics.com.

Thursday, May 27th, 2010schmidt and bender summitt rifle scope
Friday, April 30th, 2010Schmidt and Bender is a well known name in the hunting world. They make some great hunting and tactical scopes, but now they have a great offering for the American crowed; the Schmidt and Bender Summit scopes. The scopes are intended for the American Schmidt and bender fans, uses the same great glass as the classics like the Schmidt and bender Klassic and police and marksmen scopes, but in the very familiar one inch tube. This rifle scope is a great value, offering very compact size, great low light performance, and stunning contrast. This would be a great scope for anyone looking for a rifle scope with a one inch tube that offers great performance. It would be perfect on a light weight rifle or rim fire where a larger scope could be cumbersome. This scope offers an impressive field of view, and the 2.5-10 magnification is perfect for most southern whitetail deer hunting. If your looking for a great 1 inch tube rifle scope, look no farther than the Schmidt and bender summit. That’s the word from sportoptics.com.
zeiss conquest 4×32
Friday, March 26th, 2010Fixed power scopes aren’t all that popular here in the U.S. sure you have tactical scopes and rim fire scopes, but for the most part, variable power optics rule here. For me, I like a fixed power scope on my 22lr rim fire rifles. I personally use a 4×32 scope on my ruger 10/22 and it fits and has done a very good job so far. There are lots of options for fixed power scopes, Burris, Nikon, Leupold, and Zeiss have some good offerings in this category. I particularly like the zeiss 4×32 conquests. The zeiss conquest line offers great glass and quality at a reasonable price. This 4×32 is perfect for many purposes, if you’re looking for a fixed power scope that is. I use my 10/22 out 10 125 yards with no problems. This scope would perform well on both a rim fire and larger caliber rifles, because fixed power scopes can take more abuse than there variable power counterparts. Mechanically, these rifle scopes are simple and tough to break. If you want a nice 4x scope for a 22 rimfire rifle or other various purposes, check out this zeiss conquest 4×32.

trijicon reflex sight
Friday, March 5th, 2010In the world of tactical sights for the ar15, people often think of Trijicon sights, how ever I doubt many people think trijicon when reflex sights come to mind. You have eotech and a host of other red dot manufactures out there, and they have a great product, but trijicon does something they don’t, they don’t use batteries in some of there sights. The sight I’m looking at this week is the RX-30A reflex sight. This sight would be at home on any ar rifle and works well in both low light and bright conditions. For situations that demand a rugged optic that must last for an undetermined amount of time, the trijicon sights fit the bill. The tritium last years and is bright enough to be seen in any condition, for the operator, this means an effective sight, and you don’t have to worry about or carry batteries. The sight has a wide field of view and is very easy to get on target. If you’re looking for a tactical reflex sight for your rifle, consider the trijicon reflex as a rugged battery less option.

laser genetics nd3
Friday, February 26th, 2010Nightvision is expensive. Yet we can all use something to help us reach out and touch those pesky nocturnal critters. That is where laser genetic steps in with there ND3 laser designator. This device effectively turns your standard 1 inch tube rifle scope into a night vision scope effective out to 250 yards. The ND3 comes with all the hardware needed to attach the nd3 to your scope and use it effectively in the darkest situations. The Nd3 can be used in conjunction with its larger brother, the nd5 which is used to illuminate an are for someone using binoculars or for spotting animals before using the capabilities of the Nd3. The only draw back to the nd3 is it sometimes needs to warm up in colder situation. If your like me and need a way to dispatch varmints but can’t afford expensive nightvision, Look to the Nd3 as a solution to your problem. It can light up the night for you.
