PRIMARY ARMS OPTICS RELEASES NEW GREEN-ILLUMINATED VARIANT OF ACSS® VULCAN® RETICLE

HOUSTON, TEXAS – At the 2021 Industry Choice Awards, Primary Arms Optics and Holosun Optics have released a new version of the co-branded HS507C-X2 ACSS, now featuring a green-illuminated ACSS Vulcan reticle.
Released earlier this year, the HS507C-X2 ACSS made waves in the miniature reflex market by introducing a revolutionary new reticle design that makes it easier to get on target. While most reticles are limited to a simple aiming dot, ACSS Vulcan changes the game by combining an infinitely precise center chevron with a large outer circle. When aimed correctly, this circle falls outside the optic window, leaving only the center chevron for fine precision. If the user’s aim is off target, the edge of the circle comes into view, guiding them back to center. It’s a novel approach to sight acquisition, eliminating many of the challenges associated with mini reflex optics.
Since its release, fans of the optic have been asking for a green-illuminated variant. Now, Primary Arms Optics is proud to announce that the units are now ready and available for purchase.

“The response to the original Primary Arms ACSS Vulcan reticle in Red illumination, has been nothing short of phenomenal,” says Terry Mears, Primary Arms Optics’ Director of Product Marketing. “Those who prefer a green reticle, especially anyone with color-recognition issues toward the red end of the color spectrum, will appreciate this option. The law enforcement community which we continuously interact with, specifically asked for this reticle option and we delivered.”

The Voodoo Behind EOTECH® Vudu Rifle Scopes

Posted on Friday, 27 August, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Ann Arbor, MI (August 26, 2021) – While Vudu is relatively new compared to its parent company, EOTECH, it has built a rock-solid reputation in the optics world. It has very quickly become the go-to-optic among precision shooters, hunters and operators- and with good reason!

There’s a kind of magic at work in a Vudu rifle scope. A long list of drool-inducing features and tough-as-nails construction somehow come together to create a precision amalgamation that is surprisingly affordable for a top-notch rifle optic. The recipe behind EOTECH’s line of Vudu rifle scopes creates a heady brew of durability, precision and versatility. Every scope is engineered and built to withstand the most rugged use and toughest conditions while also meeting the precision and performance demands of today’s serious precision shooters.

The body of every Vudu scope is cut from a solid piece of aircraft-grade aluminum and has a hard-anodized, durable finish. This combination provides clear advantages in the field, protecting the internal glass from water, fog dust and grime. All Vudu scopes are shock-resistant and can take a serious beating.

Vudu riflescopes offer both first-focal-plane and second-focal-plane models to suit all shooting applications. From low power variable optics (LPVO’s) designed for quick and accurate target acquisition to medium and high powered rifle scopes that include bullet drop and wind hold solutions, the Vudu scope line has it covered.

Vudu lenses set the standard in scope design with superior optical clarity and shooter-friendly features. All scopes feature the highest-quality multi-coated, super-clear XC™ High-Density glass that provides incredible light transmission and color reproduction. This allows for exceptional edge-to-edge clarity and resolution.

With Vudu’s illuminated scope reticles that include either glass-etched or fiber-optic illumination solutions, shooters will find target acquisition in any lighting condition fast and absolute. With simple push-button operation and ten brightness levels, it can adapt to any situation, and a 2-hour auto-shutoff feature ensures the batteries won’t be drained when stored. Plus, etched reticles mean the scope can be used during daylight hours, without the illumination feature.

Vudu’s one-piece eyepiece makes transitioning from low to high magnification easy and fluid. The included removable throw lever is easy to locate and allows shooters quick magnification changes. Vudu’s surgically precise turret systems allow shooters to re-index to zero after sighting in their optic, allowing for confident windage and elevation adjustments in the field to ensure critical shots hit their mark when it matters most.

With the variety of models currently available and a host of reticles to choose from, there’s a special brew that’s perfect for every shooter. For more information, visit www.eotechinc.com.

Headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, EOTECH® designs, manufactures and markets the original Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS), and designs and distributes Vudu® rifle optics, thermal and night vision systems, and laser devices. EOTECH’s full line of professional-grade optics is trusted by the world’s tier-one professionals to deliver unparalleled speed, accuracy, and reliability. Since 1996, EOTECH Holographic Weapon Sights (HWS) have been designed, developed and manufactured in the US. In 2016, EOTECH expanded its optics line by introducing the Vudu line of premium magnified optics designed to cater to the most sophisticated of users.Our exacting standards demand continued focus on product quality, not quantity, ensuring that the highest specifications are not only met, but exceeded. Every optic manufactured is treated as if it will be the one that will face a life and death situation. When there are zero margins for error, there is only one clear choice – EOTECH.

SnapSafe® Modular Safes – A Modern and Movable Firearm Security Solution

Posted on Friday, 27 August, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Grand Island, NE (August 26, 2021) – SnapSafe Modular Safes combine the robust security of a conventional welded safe with the benefit of being able to place them anywhere in a home or business without hiring professional movers. Depending on the model, SnapSafe Modular gun safes accommodate 12 to 56+ long guns and include adjustable shelves for flexible storage configurations. SnapSafe Modular safes protect firearms and other valuables from fire and theft.

The firearms industry has a long-standing problem. Installing a heavy modern gun safe is impossible without the help of professionals, and in many cases, once installed, moving it is not an option! SnapSafe® has solved that problem. SnapSafe engineers have created an innovative, modular safe – one that’s delivered in pieces and fitted in place. Its robust design offers security equal to traditional welded safes. Some models have the extra-large capacity required to store extensive gun collections yet still boast the flexibility to move it anywhere. That’s the SnapSafe modular safe advantage!

The ability to assemble and move SnapSafe modular safes anywhere sets them apart from the competition. After delivery, each piece is unpacked and fastened at its final location. The SnapSafe modular assembly system locks the walls together from the inside, making them solid and impenetrable like conventional, welded safes.

SnapSafe Modular Safes feature a UL listed digital lock with EMP proof mechanical key backup. All safes feature a sledgehammer and pry-bar resistant 3/16” solid steel door(s) and thick, 9-gauge steel exterior walls. Single door models include eight 1-inch chrome steel live locking bolts, and double-door models use fourteen. The safes include heat-activated door fire seals and are Fire Shield protection rated at 2300°F for one hour.

Buy with confidence, knowing SnapSafe takes care of its customers. Modular safes are warranted against material defects and workmanship for the life of the product. If it breaks, they’ll repair it or replace it.

SnapSafe, an industry leader in secure storage, set the bar high by redefining modern firearms storage with SnapSafe Modular Safes.

NRA Annual Meeting Cancellation

Posted on Thursday, 26 August, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Home | NRA Annual Meeting

Important Announcement: NRA Annual Meeting Cancellation

Due to concern over the safety of our NRA family and community, we regret to inform you that we have decided to cancel the 2021 Annual Meeting & Exhibits. This cancellation applies to all events and meetings that were scheduled in Houston. We will provide future notification regarding a rescheduled date for the annual Meeting of Members.

We make this difficult decision after analyzing relevant data regarding COVID-19 in Harris County, Texas. We also consulted with medical professionals, local officials, major sponsors & exhibitors, and many NRA members before arriving at this decision. The NRA Annual Meeting welcomes tens of thousands of people, and involves many events, meetings, and social gatherings. Among the highlights of our annual meeting are acres of exhibit space featuring the latest and greatest firearms, the display of countless accessories, and the offering of adventures and group gatherings that many travel hundreds, and some even thousands, of miles to experience. We realize that it would prove difficult, if not impossible, to offer the full guest experience that our NRA members deserve.

The NRA’s top priority is ensuring the health and well-being of our members, staff, sponsors, and supporters. We are mindful that NRA Annual Meeting patrons will return home to family, friends and co-workers from all over the country, so any impacts from the virus could have broader implications. Those are among the reasons why we decided to cancel our 2021 event.

We would like to thank our members, attendees, exhibitors, and staff for their understanding and support. We are grateful for the many contributions of the George R. Brown Convention Center, state and local officials, community organizers, area hotels, and countless event venues across Houston. We receive enormous support from Houston and the State of Texas – and we hope to return to the Bayou City for a full annual meeting experience.

The NRA looks forward to a Celebration of Freedom in Louisville in May 2022. In the meantime, we will support many other NRA local events and smaller gatherings – in a manner that is protective of our members and celebrates our Second Amendment freedom.

We wish continued health and safety to our entire NRA family.

EOTECH’s Aggressive Pursuit to Confront Counterfeit Sales

Posted on Thursday, 26 August, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Ann Arbor, MI (August 25, 2021) – Counterfeiting impacts everyone! EOTECH®, the world-leading holographic weapons sight manufacturer, is fighting back against counterfeiting rings at all levels. They have launched an aggressive campaign targeting those who create and sell illegal copies of EOTECH’s iconic military-grade holographic weapons sight systems.

EOTECH takes counterfeit prevention extremely seriously. Why? Because not only do these forgeries impact their business—and the business of their authorized dealers—but more importantly operators’ safety.

“Stopping fakes at the source is a critical step in curbing counterfeiting. EOTECH produces an extremely rugged, technically unique holographic sight that can’t be duplicated by counterfeiters. The EOTECH brand stands for reliability, durability and the safety of our operators whether it be soldiers, officers or general users,” said Lisa Kemp, Director of Marketing. “EOTECH partners and end-users can rest assured that we will actively pursue counterfeit operations to quickly shut them down.”

Authentic EOTECH holographic sighting technology is nearly impossible to replicate. Unfortunately, numerous imitation EOTECH products have been discovered, including LED-based products attempting to pass as high-tech holographic sights. One such counterfeit reseller is JC Airsoft, which sold fake EOTECH HWS products for deep discounts. With cooperation from the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), EOTECH fought to shut down this activity. Through these efforts, EOTECH reached a 6-figure settlement with JC Airsoft for various HWS counterfeit violations.

An explosion of online sales links with reproduction HWS products adds to consumer confusion. Shoppers are lured to these online stores by their shockingly low prices. EOTECH closely monitors online sales and blocks unauthorized items, from websites such as Alibaba, Aliexpress, Amazon, Facebook, eBay, and other online outlets.

EOTECH understands it is difficult for consumers to spot a fake. Counterfeiters go so far as to reproduce EOTECH registered trademarks and packaging! To that end, EOTECH has created a counterfeit detection resource page on their website (https://www.eotechinc.com/help-center/counterfeit-detection) to assist consumers in making an informed purchase. On the page, consumers and EOTECH dealers can learn about counterfeit EOTECH sights through photo illustrations comparing genuine and counterfeit sights, plus tips for identifying a forgery.

Counterfeiting affects everyone and EOTECH is committed to go the extra mile to stop it.

RCBS® ChargeMaster™ Link with Bluetooth®
Delivers Hands-Free Reloading

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – August 25, 2021 – RCBS®, the leading manufacturer of ammunition reloading equipment for rifles and pistols, has announced the introduction of the new ChargeMaster™ Link powder dispenser. The Link is built off the rock-solid load cell and electronics found in the popular RCBS ChargeMaster Lite, but now offers best-in-class Bluetooth® technology to make reloading easier than ever.

The RCBS ChargeMaster Link’s Bluetooth capabilities give the discerning hand-loader the ability to run the entire unit from their smartphone using the free, newly redesigned RCBS app. This not only allows a user to save custom loads on the app, but to run the machine more quickly and efficiently. Hands-free operation with the app also means a reloader never has to touch the dispenser during the weighing process, ensuring more accurate readings.

“The Link is the perfect dispenser for the budget conscious handloader that is looking for a dispenser that is going to deliver consistent powder charges each and every time but does not need all of the additional features that our other models provide,” said Will Hemeyer, Sr. Product Manager for RCBS. “We take great pride in producing the highest quality dispensers on the market and know the ChargeMaster Link will deliver more consistency than the competition.”

The ChargeMaster Link boasts 0.1-grain accuracy and a 2000-grain load cell capacity. The unit can run on an external battery, meaning reloaders can operate it at home or in the field without being tied to power cords. The unit also features a universal four country CE approved power supply and LCD display with intuitive push-button controls.

ChargeMaster Link has an MSRP of $349.95. For more information or to view other RCBS reloading products, visit RCBS.com.

Diamondback Firearms Introduces the DB Sidekick

(Cocoa, FL) – Diamondback Firearms, creator of high-quality firearms and industry-leading components, is excited to introduce the Diamondback Sidekick, a 9-shot, single and double action rim-fire revolver with a swing out, interchangeable cylinder.
The Sidekick has a 9-round revolving chamber capacity in both calibers and both cylinders are on a quickly convertible swing out arm for fast interchangeability allowing the user to switch between standard and magnum power in just seconds and even faster ejection and reloading, which is sure to excite even today’s modern shooters.
The DB Sidekick hits the mark when it comes to combining the all-time sought-after classic cowboy style featuring all your favorite attributes of a modern revolver. The Sidekick is chambered in 22LR with a 9-shot cylinder and comes with an additional 9-shot cylinder chambered in 22Mag, allowing the buyer to enjoy a firearm that is great for self-defense with manageable recoil, hunting small game, pest control, as well as some enjoyable and inexpensive target practice. The Sidekick higher capacity allows for 3 more snakes, rabbits, or soda cans depending on what you’re hunting.
The Sidekick has a 9-round revolving chamber capacity in both calibers and weighs 32.5 ounces. Both cylinders are on a quick-convertible swing-out arm for fast interchangeability allowing the user to switch between standard and magnum power in just seconds, additionally offering faster ejection and reloading, which is sure to excite shooters.
While the Sidekick models an old school cowboy revolver keeping with that classic look and feel, Diamondback has added features like the cylinder release being incorporated to the old school ejection rod, a cool smooth black Cerakote finish, and checkered polymer grip panels. They also went with a rear integral and a fixed front blade sight. These features are wildly important when you need to be quick on the draw. The Sidekick will initially be offered with a 4.5” barrel having 1:16RH twist, 6 groove rifling. This package weighs in at 32.5 ounces and has an overall length of 9.875.
“Diamondback Firearms cut their teeth in the industry by producing their ultra-compacts DB380 and DB9 pistols and are also well known for their high-quality AR-15 rifles,” says Rachel Maitlitz, Marketing Manager for Diamondback America. “This year, we are working hard to expand our product line and bring new designs to the market. The DB Sidekick is the latest product in the Diamondback lineup and helps expand Diamondback’s product offerings into new areas.”
With a budget friendly MSRP of just $320, the Sidekick (model DBSK22LMB) is sure to be a popular choice for first-time owners and firearms enthusiast alike.

How has COVID affected business? NDIA wants to know

NDIA survey seeks contractor feedback on COVID and business operations

ARLINGTON, VA – The National Defense Industrial Association encourages defense contractors to complete a survey on COVID-19 impacts to the industry, aiming to get a picture of business operations in the ongoing pandemic, the Arlington, Virginia-based trade association announces.

NDIA wants companies of all sizes – whether or not they are association members – to fill out the simple, three-question survey, available here until Sept. 7. The information will be part of the annual Vital Signs report, which measures the health and readiness of the U.S. defense industrial base. The next version will come out in early 2022.

A similar 2020 survey of defense contractors had more than 1,100 respondents, said Nick Jones, NDIA’s regulatory policy director who oversees the Vital Signs report.

“The last survey gave NDIA incredible insight into just how businesses were faring under pandemic conditions” Jones said. “We hope for even more responses this time, and more information as we look to help the defense industrial base thrive in these unprecedented times.”

Meopta Introduces Optika5 2-10×42 PA Riflescope with Side Parallax Adjustment

Posted on Wednesday, 25 August, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Meopta Introduces Optika5 2-10×42 PA Riflescope with Side Parallax Adjustment

TAMPA, FL, August 24, 2021 – Meopta Sport Optics is excited to introduce the new Optika5 2-10×42 PA riflescope with side parallax adjustment (PA) from 10 yards to infinity. This exceptionally versatile riflescope delivers razor-sharp image focus at close ranges – a feature rimfire and air rifle enthusiasts will appreciate – and gives hunters and target shooters the ability to dial in the focus at longer ranges.

Engineered to withstand heavy recoil, this newest addition to the Optika5 series is also designed for superb performance on centerfire, muzzleloader, and slug guns – making it an excellent choice for hunting a variety of species from varmints to big game. It can be used with the Strelok Pro ballistic app and is built tough enough to handle the extreme bi-directional recoil of spring-piston air rifles.

The Optika5 2-10×42 PA features a 1-inch main tube diameter, 5x zoom, zero-reset turrets, and advanced lens coatings for true color representation and unsurpassed low-light performance in its class. Meopta’s proprietary MeoBright lens coating delivers maximum light transmission per lens surface while suppressing reflection and glare, giving hunters and shooters the advantage of crisp images with optimal contrast. Images are clear even in the rain thanks to Meopta’s MeoDrop hydrophobic lens coating which aggressively repels water and makes it easy to wipe off grease, skin oils, and dirt.

Capped hunting turrets are made of rubber-armored metal for the perfect combination of durability and functionality. The rear-facing magnification display allows for easy viewing of the power setting from behind the scope, and the zoom ring comes with a throw lever for quick adjustment of the power setting in the field or on the range. Windage and elevation adjustments are ¼ MOA. Two second focal plane reticles are available – Z-Plex or Z-Plus.

The Optika5 series is also available in 2-10×42, 3-15×44, 4-20×44, 4-20×50, and 4-20×50 RD models. Reticles options for the 4-20×50 RD with illuminated red dot in the center are Z-Plus RD or BDC 3 RD.

All Optika5 scopes are made of aircraft-grade aluminum alloy and feature:

– One-piece tube design
– Zero-Reset turret for quick return to zero
– Zoom ring with throw lever
– Rear-facing zoom display for easy viewing of power setting from behind the scope
– MeoBright anti-reflective lens coating
– MeoShield anti-abrasion lens coating
– MeoDrop hydrophobic lens coating that repels rain, dust, and grease
Like all Meopta optics sold in the United States, Optika5 riflescopes are backed by Meopta’s Lifetime Transferrable Warranty.
Retail Pricing: $349.99

Replaceable Blade Knife from True Knives Means Never Going Dull

Posted on Wednesday, 25 August, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

Replaceable Blade Knife from True Knives Means Never Going Dull

Fort Worth, Texas (August 24, 2021) – One of the most difficult parts of knife ownership is finding the time and tools to sharpen a dull blade properly. There’s nothing more annoying or dangerous than a dull knife when being used for fine tasks. Injuries from a completely or partially dull blade can be not only annoying but also life-threatening.

True brings to market a rugged and durable knife that features a unique system, allowing users to easily swap their knife blades. This Replaceable Blade Knife has a 2-step locking system and comes prepackaged with three blade options: two 3.5” drop point blades and one 3.5” saw blade.

A blade storage case is also included for a safe carry of extra blades while on the move. This unique 2-stage locking system is locked in place with the thumb stud. It slides back and forth for a lock and unlock setting. The blade must be released via a lever in the spine of the knife once unlocked.

Despite being able to replace them, each blade edge is made from 3CR13 stainless steel. 3CR13 is 0.3% carbon, 13% chromium and 0.6% nickel, along with other trace elements. This composition makes it highly corrosion-resistant while retaining a sharp edge for a longer period of time. Pairing the steel with a black oxide finish means that these blades can handle some extreme environments without showing signs of corrosion.

Black fiberglass-filled nylon scales house the liner lock system to keep the blade locked tightly in position. It is textured enough to add some gripping surface without collecting particles. A small deep pocket carry clip is attached on the right-hand side for a tip down right-handed carry. When opened, the Replaceable Blade Knife measures 8” overall, and closed it comes in at 4.5”. The knife is 0.75” thick and from top to bottom measures in at 1.5”. The overall size makes this an excellent every day carry option, fishing knife, utility knife or any various activity when general cutting is necessary.

Replacement blades are available in 5-packs for $24.99.

“Cimarron’s DNA is purely Texan. We started our first retail business, Bigfoot, right here in Houston, so this NRA show is like a homecoming for us at Cimarron Firearms,” Mike Harvey, founder and CEO of Cimarron Firearms, explained. “We are proud to show the public the finest replicas of the guns that won the West.”

Bushnell Unveils New Elite Tactical DMR3 and XRS3 Riflescopes

Posted on Tuesday, 24 August, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

New Riflescopes Deliver Class-Leading Performance with a Propriety Reticle

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – August 3, 2020 – Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, has announced the introduction of two new Elite Tactical riflescopes – the DMR3 3.5-21×50 FFP and the XRS3 6-36×56 FFP. Tailored to meet the demands of law enforcement and military professionals as well as long-range and precision rimfire competitions, the new Elite Tactical DMR3 delivers precision to 1,000 yards and beyond in a lightweight, compact package. For those seeking extreme long-range capabilities, including military shooters and ELR competitors, the XRS3 offers the highest magnification in the Elite Tactical family along with superior tracking and reliability.
Featuring the most advanced Elite Tactical optical system ever, both the DMR3 and XRS3 come with a high magnification ED Prime objective, as well as fully multi-coated elements, EXO Barrier™ protection and a new reticle element coating. The new coating pushes the limits of the ultrawideband coating system by increasing light transmission by nearly 2% over previous designs. The culmination of these improvements deliver state-of-the-art optical performance in an already proven, durable and repeatable package.
In addition, these scopes feature a new “G” series reticle designed in conjunction with G.A. Precision. Based on the G3 reticle, the new G4P design features a floating dot center POA, floating holdover dots, refined line widths, quick acquisition bars for low magnification settings, and a more open reticle space above the horizontal stadia.
“The new Elite Tactical DMR3 is utterly reliable, tracks perfectly has a huge eye box and the field of view is everything you need,” said George Gardner, Founder of GA Precision and Team Captain for Elite Tactical. “With the etched glass and updated G4P reticle, it’s about as perfect as it can get. I have never had one fail me in a match.”
Each scope boasts a multi-position ThrowHammer™ magnification lever, allowing a shooter to accommodate their particular rifle without concern of manipulation interference. Additional features include Rev-limiter™ Zero Stop elevation turret, locking windage target turret, and a removable sunshade. The DMR3 riflescope shortens the minimum parallax setting over the DMRII Pro from 50 to 25 yards while the all-new XRS3 has a minimum parallax setting of 50 yards and a D-Lok locking diopter.
“The XRS3 has a lot more with 36 power and a 56mm objective, but it still delivers a sharp crisp image at every magnification from the bottom to the top,” said Bryan Sikes, Elite Tactical pro. “What you are really getting is every benefit of the DRM3 in a more magnified package.”
The XRS3 features 29 MIL elevation travel and 15 MIL windage travel, as well as an (18ft @ 100yd) field of view on 6X power and a (3ft @ 100yd) field of view on 36X power. The scope is 14.9 inches long and weighs in at 39 ounces.
The DMR3 features 32 MIL elevation travel and 20 MIL windage travel, as well as a (25ft @ 100yd) field of view on 3.5X power and a (5ft @ 100yd) field of view on 21X power. The scope is 13.2 inches long and weighs in at 35.5 ounces.
Built to last, both scopes are IP67 rated against water and dust, argon purged to reduce fogging, and built from a single-piece of aircraft-grade 34mm aluminum main-tube. Each are backed by Bushnell’s 30-year Lifetime Ironclad warranty. To learn more about these riflescopes or the rest of the Elite Tactical line, visit bushnell.com.

Should Your Magnifier Include Ranging Stadia?

Posted on Monday, 23 August, 2021 by twobirdsflyingpub

First came the red dot and reflex sights, both of these technologies vastly improved the accuracy and speed of target acquisition and engagement. Soon, operators determined they needed a way to add magnification to extend their range of engagement. The industry responded introducing 3X, 4X and 6X magnifiers . The magnifier sits behind the red dot sight and provides magnification. In use, the operator still sees the red dot but the target is now magnified. That’s all well and good but what is your target range, how much holdover do you use? I’ve used magnified red dot aiming systems and wished I could have an optical ranging tool as part of the magnifier. So, I tried an experiment to determine if having ranging stadia is in any way disruptive to the operator when using a magnifier.

I setup a test platform using a Crimson Trace red dot mounted just north of the trunnion,; I then mounted an IOR 4X24 M2 with a Dragunov style reticle to see how it all works out.

The image below is not representative of the actual optical clarity through the IOR 4X optic which was excellent, but stay with me. By the way, if you are not familiar with IOR Valdada, they make an outstanding magnified optic using excellent glass, they’re not cheap but you get what you pay for, check them out at Valdada Optics.

Getting back on topic, what I was trying to do is assess how disruptive, if at all, it would be to use a magnifier etched with ranging stadia. To test that, I used a fixed 4x optic, the IOR , which has excellent optical clarity and a Dragunov style reticle.

The picture above, and on the left, was taken through the IOR optic and through the red dot with the sight powered on, my photo bears no semblance to the actual image which was clear with a sharply defined red dot. Using this arrangement, I could easily determine that the vehicle, an SUV, is 2.5 mils wide. I know that SUV widths range from 69 in. to 79 in. , so I calculated an average (69+79)/2 arriving at 72 inches as my target width, so my range to the vehicle is approximately 800 yards. Rather than simply seeing a magnified image, I had the ability to accurately range my target. Having a ranging reticle provides the operator with actionable information to assist him or her in effectively and accurately engaging a long range target. Without a ranging reticle, the operator has to rely on Kentucky windage.

What I did in the picture on the right is photoshop out the excess reticle details leaving just the horizontal stadia to simulate what an operator would see looking through a magnifier with only ranging stadia etched – it’s uncluttered, clean and providing valuable range information to enhance the operators’ target engagement. There are a number of ranging reticles available; two of my favorites are a simple horizontal and vertical stadia or the Dragunov style shown below.

There’s currently a move to incorporate variable power magnified optics, usually in the 1x-6x and 1x-8x range, as a primary sight backed up by an offset red dot sight. This is an excellent configuration for a DMR operator but it adds weight and requires rotating the rifle inward to use the backup red dot sight; however, the benefits outweigh its disadvantages. On the other hand, for the average rifleman, there is no better fire control configuration than a red dot sight and magnifier with ranging stadia for rapid accurate fire.
