Industry Updates & News Just want to keep you updated on goings on in the industry. InfiRay announces RICO Mk1 V2 640 50mm Thermal Weapon Sight (RH50V2) - InfiRay Outdoor thermal optics, introduces a new version of the RICO Mk1 thermal weapon sight, building on the popularity of the RH50 model, with new features for 2024. Based on the RICO (Rugged Infrared Compact Optic) Mk1 series of thermal weapon sights, the RICO Mk1 V2 was redesigned with improved audio recording, a blazing fast 60 Hz refresh rate, and an impressively upgraded ≤20 mK sensitivity rating. The heart of the Mk1 V2 features a high-performance InfiRay Micro II core and a high-contrast AMOLED HD display. The Mk1 V2 takes its image processing one step further with Advanced Image Correction and Automatic Image Optimization courtesy of its MATRIX III processor. Unmatched image quality combined with an intuitive and easy-to-use interface, picture-in-picture function, two long-lasting battery packs with 6+ hours of run-time each, aluminum-alloy housing, 1000 G/s2 shock-resistance, and 32 GB of internal memory give you all the tools you need to take your next hog, predator, or varmint hunt to the next level. A smaller profile, dual-locking-lever, quick-detach mount comes standard with the RICO Mk1 V2. Like the original RICO Mk1, the Mk1 V2 is compatible with the ILR-1000-1 rangefinding module (AC05) and the American Defense Manufacturing RQD mount (AC03). The new V2 model also launches with a lower price, $4,799, than the original RH50. “The RICO line continues to expand in several different directions,” said Pliny Gale, iRayUSA Director of Marketing. “We are excited to launch the new V2 version of the RICO Mk1. This model continues the original spirit of the popular RICO Mk1, while adding a few new features and coming in at a lower price.” InfiRay introduces their new HYBRID 75 Multi-function Thermal Weapon Sight - InfiRay Outdoor thermal optics, introduces a new addition to the HYBRID line of multi-function thermal weapon sights, boasting a 75mm objective lens, 4× base magnification, custom reticles, and onboard ballistics. The InfiRay Outdoor RICO HYBRID fuses the capabilities of a thermal clip-on and a thermal weapon sight to create a new breed of thermal device. The HYBRID gives you never-before-seen versatility and performance, boasting a 3,600 yard detection range as a dedicated thermal sight, or compatibility with day optics up to 10× as an inline clip-on sight. The combination of the HYBRID’s low-distortion orthoscopic eyepiece and a 1.03-inch large-format 2560×1920 display provides comfortable viewing as a dedicated sight while still maintaining the pixel density and resolution for use as a clip-on optic. The HYBRID also unlocks advanced features such as compatibility with a 1,000 yard laser rangefinder, As a special introductory offer, purchasers of the HYH75W are eligible for to receive the ILR-1000-2 Laser Rangefinder for free after registering their HYBRID sight (for warranty purposes) and completing the LRF Request Form. To learn more about this program see the HYBRID 75 Free LRF Overview Flyer. Last year, iRayUSA announced the HYBRID 50mm (HYH50W). This year, the HYH75W builds on the original design, with the addition of a flat dark earth ceramic finish, and 75mm objective lens that provides a 4× optical base magnification and increased detection range. Digital zoom up to 32× enables shooters to stretch the HYBRID out to longer distances. For predator hunters in open country, the long range and ballistic capabilities of the HYBRID 75mm are a drastic improvement to the world of 640 resolution thermal weapon sights. Announced at the 2024 SHOT show, the HYBRID 75 is now available with a price of $7,999. “The HYBRID 75 is the go-to option for night hunters looking to stretch out to greater distances,” said Pliny Gale, iRayUSA Director of Marketing. “This model incorporates features of industry-leading RICO HD (RS75) and the proven HYBRID 50mm. While most shooters will use this as a dedicated weapon sight, the ability to use the HYBRID as a thermal clip-on allows it to do double duty and do some work on an additional rifle.” Pulsar Announces Firmware Updates for Trail and Axion Units - Pulsar is excited to introduce Firmware Updates 5.0 and 2.3 for the Trail 2 LRF XQ50 series and Axion 2 LRF XG35 series, respectively.

Winners Chosen - Next Drawing is March 6th for Kowa Optics As we are sure you're aware Kowa is a top choice for Spotting Scopes and Binoculars. In business over 125 years they are one of the finest optical companies around. We are happy to offer a couple of their amazing products as this months giveaway. This month we will have 2 very excited winners. 1 will receive the Kowa TSN-554 Compact Spotting Scope & their Kowa C-554N Stay-On-Case. A TRUE MILESTONE. - A journey of over 60 years of heritage, refining and developing techniques passed down decade to decade from the Kowa optical masters in Japan. This legacy leads us to where we are now – introducing the new compact Kowa TSN-550 PROMINAR – a truly unique spotting scope, designed to make your journeys truly memorable and immersive. PROMINAR – THE PINNACLE OF OPTICAL EXCELLENCE - Only the finest optics deserve the accolade of the PROMINAR title. Optics that utilise Kowa’s unique benchmark feature – fluorite crystal, delivering simply the best optical performance available today. INCREDIBLE CLARITY. - At the heart of the TSN-550 PROMINAR series spotting scope beats a fluorite crystal objective lens. This natural mineral has an outstanding feature of very low dispersion that cannot be found in optical glass. This characteristic enables Kowa to eliminate color blur almost completely and dramatically increase resolution and contrast. Fluorite crystal is a unique feature of Kowa spotting scopes and is a testament to decades of Kowa optical developments. FLUORITE CRYSTAL – THE ULTIMATE VIEWING EXPERIENCE - A mysterious stone called fluorite, emits light like a firefly when it is heated or exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Fluorite has an outstanding feature of very low dispersion that cannot be found in optical glass, This characteristic enables Kowa to eliminate colour blur almost completely and dramatically increase resolution and contrast. Fluorite is considerably more difficult to handle than optical glass, it requires highly advanced processing technology. Kowa put forth extra care, time and technique to produce the ultimate viewing experience with a pure fluorite crystal lens. It’s what makes Kowa unique. THE DIFFERENCE IS CLEAR. - The optimum optical material to minimize chromatic aberration is fluorite crystal. Fluorite crystal with extremely low dispersion characteristics is used for the convex lens of the Kowa TSN-550 PROMINAR models. PERFECTION IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND. - Measuring just a mere 270mm in length and weighing only 800g*, the TSN-550 PROMINAR is truly compact and makes the perfect travel companion. Kowa’s dream was to create an ultra-portable spotting scope delivering the highest levels of optical performance. This vision has been realized in the TSN-550 PROMINAR. MORE THAN JUST AN OPTIC – IT FITS YOUR WAY LIFE. - The TSN-550 PROMINAR represents a way of thinking, a way of life. An optic that enhances every moment you use it. It’s unique. A spotting scope this compact creates new opportunities. Wherever your journey takes you, the Kowa TSN-550 is the perfect travel companion. RELIABILITY GUARANTEED. - A lightweight yet durable, fully waterproof and nitrogen filled chassis ensures performance in the toughest of environments. THE LEGACY CONTINUES. - Not only does the TSN-550 PROMINAR adopt the unique styling of it’s larger predecessor, it also inherits what makes the TSN-880 still unrivalled to this day – decades of Kowa optical development. The result? A new benchmark optic in the compact spotting scope market. CLOSE FOCUS - With a close focus distance of 3m – see the secret beauty of nature in glorious, fine detail. POWERFUL ZOOM - A responsive twist 15-45x zoom eyepiece means you can enjoy clear, close up views of your subject. ROBUST MATERIALS - The compact TSN-550 series spotting scope has a tough outer shell to protect against harsh environments and weather. FLUORITE CRYSTAL - The TSN-550 features a fluorite crystal objective lens. This natural mineral virtually eliminates all color fringing. FULLY WATERPROOF - The TSN-550 series is built to withstand the elements with a fully sealed, waterproof and nitrogen filled casing. COMPACT & LIGHT - Weighing just 800g (TSN-554), the Kowa TSN-550 series spotting scope is ultra portable, never miss that special moment. 1 will receive their Kowa BD II 10x32mm Wide Angle Binocular with “XD” Lens - Enjoy sharp images with natural color, high contrast and incredible detail, from dawn through to dusk. Rugged reliability ensured. Every model in the BDII-XD range benefits from a magnesium alloy chassis, a sophisticated moulding process produces the feel and strength of metal with the added benefit of decreased weight. The lightweight, rugged structure can tolerate the severest conditions and provides a sense of security and longevity. The BDII-XD are built to last. Use them with confidence. Surrounding the tough magnesium alloy body is a protective layer of rubber armour, not only providing a sure, comfortable grip but also increasing the level of durability. Each BDII-XD is fully waterproof and dry nitrogen filled to prevent the lenses from fogging and Kowa’s KR coating protects from dirt and other foreign residue build-up that may affi x to the lenses during use. Take a wider point of view. One of the stand-out optical features of the BDII-XD series is their enviable large field of view, boasting class leading wide angle performance. Viewing is super comfortable on the eye, making long periods of use out in the field a pleasure. Engineered for your comfort. The BDII-XD series are engineered to enhance your viewing experience. A sleek, ergonomic design with a specially selected tactile rubber armour layer ensures easy and comfortable operation - elevating every moment of use. Operation is flawless. A fluid, responsive focus wheel delivers pin point accuracy and smooth twist eye-cups ensure optimum viewing for both spectacle and non spectacle wearers. Tailor the BDII-XD specific to your own viewing requirements with an easy to use dioptre adjustment system. The ergonomic body of the BDII-XD series is as impressive as the optics it protects, with every curve considered to make observation both relaxing and free from fatigue.

Doug from Camera Land's Day 3 SHOT Show Report It will seem like today I was shown the way in the dark as it was a very Thermal day. I set up some appointments with brands we have not carried so I can see about perhaps adding them to our offerings. My 1st appointment was over at N-Vision. We've been speaking since the beginning of the Summer and Tym seems like a knowledgeable guy and N-Vision seems to have some great products. I believe we will be moving forward with N-Vision. Tym showed me their HALO-XRF Thermal Scope - "HALO-XRF is N-Vision Optics latest groundbreaking product that combines state of the art BAE thermal imaging CORE with top customer demanded features, such as integrated laser range finder, onboard video recording, and WiFi connectivity. HALO-XRF is proudly designed and built in the USA, making it the ultimate US-made thermal scope with integrated LRF available to the hunting market." & NOX35 Thermal Scope - "Nox35 is a 12-micron 60 Hz small, light, and fully functional thermal weapon sight that can serve double duty as a head-mounted monocular or a scanner. When you need a thermal weapon sight that lets you move from rifle to helmet or hand-held use with ease, look no further than N-Vision Nox. This unique product is proudly designed and built in the USA, using the best commercially available 640 x 480 60 Hz BAE thermal imaging core and the highest grade optical components. Nox features a manual focus, non-rotating wide field of view 35mm F1.1 Germanium Lens to provide the best image quality in any weather conditions. Weapon and dovetail mounts are removable to reduce the unit’s size and weight to help achieve optimal NOX configuration." Next I went to meet with Arken. I had many things to discuss with the guys here. I briefly met with one of the guys here last year. After which Arken followed up with me and we started doing business together. Lots of business together. Their scopes are excellent in their price point. They've added some good products over the past year. Their accessories are very well made and priced way below industry average. We had a very attentive representative, and that made communication easy, however, he is no longer with Arken and I've been concerned about spotty communication. Those of you who know me know that with me relationships with people is key to working with a company. Once the bean counters come in and relationships disappear it's the beginning of the end. This has happened with a few companies over the past few years and it's very sad. I wanted to discuss communication issues that some of our customers have brought to our attention and, of course, see if they had anything new to show. I happily had what I thought was a great conversation with the head man. He explained that they are in the process of reassigning some of their existing people to make things more efficient, as well as adding new people so they'll be better equipped to handle their popularity and corresponding growth. I felt much better after our chat. Here's looking to smooth sailing and improved communication. Next stop was with an old buddy from the industry that I have worked with many years. He's now with Armasight. We started carrying Armasight a few months ago. Armasight is top tier Nightvision & Thermal. To say I was impressed with their offerings would be an understatement. "Armasight was founded in 2011 by a small, dedicated team focused on one mission – deliver the most advanced thermal and night vision solutions for military, first responders and consumers.Today, Armasight is a widely recognized premier manufacturer of night vision and thermal optic technologies that make our customers safer and more capable through unparalleled quality, warranty and service." The 2 units we discussed was their Sidekick 640 & Contractor 640 The Sidekick 640 - "The Sidekick 640 is the smallest fully multi-functional 12-micron 640 thermal imaging monocular on the market. This unit boasts a fast 60Hz frame rate for smooth operation and industry-best, outstanding visual acuity, based on Armasight’s Iron Wolf thermal technology platform. Weighing under 250 grams, the Sidekick can be used as a handheld mini-monocular or can be headset/helmet mounted utilizing the built-in mini-rail for hands-free operation. The high definition 1024×768 OLED display provides a crisp image, with iconography providing key information. The Sidekick utilizes simplified 3 button controls that allow for easy manipulation in the field and offers one-touch in-unit video recording to capture all of your experiences." If you want something serious in a weapon sight their Contractor 640 is their Bread & Butter. "The Contractor Thermal Weapon Sight is built around our proprietary ArmaCORE™ 12 micron thermal core. It combines extensive detection capabilities and a rich, detailed picture with onboard image processing, wireless communication interface, GPS, and internal memory. The Contractor Thermal Weapon Sight is a premium-component build that is noticeably more compact and lighter weight than conventional thermal scopes. It provides up to four hours of continuous operation on two CR123 batteries—a 50% longer run- time based on lower power consumption as compared to similar units on the market. The Contractor series also offers another first; the turret system that enables users to navigate features, such as digital zoom, color pallet and reticles quickly and intuitively to adapt to changing conditions and environments. The units come equipped with a digital compass and inclinometer that help calculate distance, direction and angles. Like all Armasight products, the Contractor is MIL-STD compliant—allowing for reliable use in all weather conditions." Staying in this area of optics I walked over to see Nathan over at InfiRay or maybe better known to you as iRay. "InfiRay is committed to providing global customers with professional and competitive infrared thermal imaging products and solutions. The main products include infrared detectors, thermal imaging modules, night vision thermal cameras, thermographic cameras for temperature measurement" as well as weapon sights. FWIW, my rep is a guy I have known in the industry for many years and not only is he very well versed in Thermal but he is a customer service oriented guy. He showed me their Thermal Imaging Monocular Finder Series- FH35R V2, which according to him @ $2499.99 it's on par with the competitions $4000.00 units. "The Finder V2 takes a big leap in image quality and user experience. The thermal sensor has higher sensitivity and the objective lens is equipped with a bigger aperture. Together with inherited features, Finder V2 fits perfectly for the professional hunter, who demands excellent performance and ultra-portable design. The 12µm 640×512 thermal sensor is upgraded to higher thermal sensitivity, reaching an NETD of Sub 20mk. In combination with the enlarged F0.9 aperture which allows for more radiation, Finder V2 is able to capture perfect details in challenging conditions." As announced a few weeks ago, we started carrying their InfiRay Outdoor AFFO AP13 Thermal Monocular - "The AFFO Series handheld thermal imaging monocular is an entry-level thermal monocular for users, featuring both a fashionable appearance and a more compact size. The AFFO Series uses a self-developed 12μm detector to produce crisp images and supports photo taking and video recording with its built-in high-speed 32GB storage capacity" Priced at only $699.00 this is a steal. A short walk brought me over to Sightron. A very interesting company. They are, as far as I know, the only Pacific Rim sport optics brand that makes NONE of their riflescopes in China. Sightron's are made in the Philippines and Japan only. They offer everything from their entry level S1 Series, priced way below what you'd expect and less than comparable made in China offerings from competitors up through their SVIII 5-40x56 ED IR Zero Stop Series. They just announced a new S6 10-60x56 ED Field Target Riflescope. It's made in Japan, offered in both MOA & MIL. (2) ED Glass Elements added to the new optical design Zact-7 Revcoat Plus Multicoating Technology ExacTrack Erector Tube System Magnetic Wheel Bundle available If you aren't already familiar with Sightron you should be. Today is turning into a visit to the premium brands day as I head over to see my buddy Butch at Revic. We carry a select assortment of Revic Products. Their BR4 Rangefinder is the type of quality unit that separates Revic from other offerings. "Onboard sensors for temperature, pressure, compass, incline/decline provide enhanced ballistic solutions at the touch of a button. Both base and vector wind inputs enable quick or fine tuned wind holds." If you prefer a rangefinder binocular than they've also got you covered with their Acura BLR10b Binocular Laser Rangefinder 10x42 with Ballistics. "A functional, intuitive design paired with unmatched laser rangefinding performance bridges the gap between size and capability. Revic's integrated state of the art ballistic solutions combined with features specifically designed for success in the field put the Acura BLR10b in a class of it's own. The Acura BLR10b incorporates our best-in-class rangefinding and ballistic technology into a sturdy, compact, ergonomic 10x42 binocular. This laser rangefinding bino features our innovative Revic Ballistic solver with advanced wind and earth based effects to provide accurate, ultra-fast corrections." Quality, amazing fit & Finish is how I describe the line of Revic Tripods.

Camera Land's SHOT Show Day 1 Report Welcome to SHOT Show 2024 Day 1. This year is a bit different than years past as many brands do not have booths here this year. This will allow me the time to walk the show and perhaps find something new to enlarge our brand offering. More will be revealed once there's something exciting to reveal. I went to my first meeting with Athlon. I was looking forward to seeing my friend, and sales rep, Drake as it's been a few months since I've seen him. Part of the fun of SHOT is seeing the folks we speak to on the phone all year long. We let you know about Athlons new line of Thermals a couple of months ago. So far the feedback has been very positive. They spec as good or better than the competition and cost less. Win Win on these thermals for sure. Their new Cronus G2 7-42x60 UHD Reticle Spotting Scope has proven to be an excellent addition to the limited choices in reticle spotters. Well made, great optics, 7-42x60 magnification with their TSSR FFP MIL Reticle. APOCHROMATIC LENS SYSTEM UHD GLASS XPL PROTECTIVE COATING ADVANCED FULLY MULTI-COATED LENSES ALUMINUM ALLOY CHASSIS WATERPROOF ARGON PURGED TRIPOD ADAPTABLE RUBBER ARMOR If you want to spot with a reticle but prefer a binocular Athlon's got you covered with their new Midas G2 PRO 12x50 UHD Reticle Binocular. With it's Etched ATBR MIL reticle and priced at only $449.99 this binocular will be HUGE at the range. Expected delivery in March. We had a great discussion on their Argos BTR GEN 2 Riflescopes. IMO, these scopes are not getting the recognition that they deserve. " The Argos BTR GEN2 family is great for those looking to get started in PRS or other long range shooting disciplines. This family of rifle scopes featuring FFP and SFP models, True Precision Zero Stop, Fully Multi-coated Lenses, Direct Dial Elevation & Windage Turrets (Capped in 1-8x24), Illuminated Reticle, 30mm Tube.." They are available in various power ratios from 1-8 thru to 10-40. Check Them Out For the price you will not find a better option. Down the aisle was my next meeting at Element. MANY exciting things happening here for sure. In new Rangefinders..... Helix 1500 Rangefinder - "The HELIX 1500 is not just any rangefinder. Despite its ultra-lightweight & compact form, this unit will present you with an accurate firing solution out to 1500 Meters, harnessing the full power of the integrated Ballistics Chip to factor in weather conditions, incline, spin drift and more. Create a ballistic profile on an app, send it across in seconds, and have the relevant data displayed on a crisp T-OLED Display." Titan 3K - "The TITAN 3K is not just any rangefinder. At the push of a button, this unit will present you with an accurate firing solution out to 3 Kilometers, harnessing the full power of the integrated Ballistics Chip to factor in weather conditions, incline, spin drift and more. The high-capacity 18650 battery ensures many hours of continuous use, and can be USB Charged on your way to the range. This manual contains everything you need to know when operating this unit." RF Module - "The Element Optics Rangefinder Module takes the concept of what a laser rangefinder should be and turns it on its head. Instead of using an optical viewfinder, this unit connects to your weapon system, and can be “zeroed” to your riflescope. This eases your workflow and enables you to range and engage your target without changing position. And it’s not just the range it will tell you; the RF Module will present you with an accurate firing solution out to 1000 Meters, harnessing the full power of the integrated Ballistics Chip to factor in weather conditions, incline, spin drift and more. Create a ballistic profile on an app, send it across in seconds, and have the relevant data displayed on the rear screen." This is a great addition to the shooting community for sure. Priced at $479.99 this will be a great addition for you. They also added binoculars to their offerings.... Their new Helix HD's are available in both 8x42 and 10x42. They have nice ergonomics but I feel they are another Me Too binocular. Priced at $489.99 they are worth the price but are more of the same in that price class. Next up was Swarovski. I was curious for this meeting as our long time, and I mean loooooong time, Swarovski rep left the Optics Industry for the Fishing Industry so I have been working directly with my Swarovski customer service rep for the last few months. He's a great guy but sales is not his wheelhouse. As we reported in our Pre-SHOT Show News the new Swarovski AX Visio 10x32 Smart Binocular is a SHOT Show must see. "AX Visio: The first smart binoculars The AX Visio is the perfect symbiosis of digital intelligence and high-performance sport optics. The high-precision binoculars with SWAROVISION technology deliver razor-sharp images with excellent color fidelity." I had the opportunity to check this out and I must say it absolutely deserves the phrase "cutting edge technology". No, this is not for everyone, however, everyone should check it out. Very cool. "Would you like to show your observation to the person next to you? Simply mark the animal or object you have observed with the "Share discoveries" function activated, pass the AX VISIO on and the AX Visio will show them where your discovery is by means of red arrow markings on the display." Very slick. Use this when going birding in a region where you've never been before, where you have no cluse what birds are there and it can tell you what you're looking at. Kinda like a teaching aid. Next cool new release is the Kahles NEW K328i - The groundbreaking K328i sets new performance standards with a pioneering new-generation optical design. It offers a 40 % wider field of view*, an exceptionally comfortable eyebox and 8x zoom with perfect optical performance across the entire adjustment range. Absolute precision, repeat accuracy and unique handling for maximum performance. Riflescope available with DLR elevation turret that is optimized specially for dynamic long-range competitions with an emphasis on speed. PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS Revolutionary optical design with a 40% wider field of view* and an exceptional eyebox 8x zoom with perfect optical performance across the entire adjustment range DLR Model: 100 clicks per rotation DLR Model: Extra wide MIL line spacing for easy and fast reading Windage adjustment on the left or right with TWIST GUARD rotation protection, patented parallax adjustment integrated in the elevation turret Absolutely reliable repeat accuracy and clearly defined clicks Precise illuminated reticles in 1st focal plane Next up was Leupold. First off, wow did they announce lots of new goodies...... 182943 Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 (35mm) M5C3 FFP PR2-Mil 182944 Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 (35mm) M1C3 FFP PR2-MOA 176614 Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 (35mm) M1C3 FFP Illum Gunwerks RH1 MOA 185066 Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 (35mm) M1C3 FFP PR-1MOA Dark Earth 185067 Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 (35mm) M5C3 FFP Tremor 3 Dark Earth 185068 Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 (35mm) M5C3 FFP PR2-MIL Dark Earth 176616 Mark 5HD 5-25x56 (35mm) M1C3 FFP Illum Gunwerks RH1 MOA 185070 Mark 5HD 5-25x56 (35mm) M1C3 FFP PR-1MOA Dark Earth 185071 Mark 5HD 5-25x56 (35mm) M5C3 FFP PR2-MIL Dark Earth 185072 Mark 5HD 5-25x56 (35mm) M5C3 FFP Tremor 3 Dark Earth 185073 Mark 5HD 7-35x56 (35mm) M5C3 FFP PR2-MIL Dark Earth 185074 Mark 5HD 7-35x56 (35mm) M5C3 FFP Tremor 3 Dark Earth 185336 VX-Freedom 4-12x40 (1 inch) Hunt-Plex 183314 Mark 4HD 1-4.5x24 (30mm) M1C3 SFP HPR-1 183315 Mark 4HD 1-4.5x24 (30mm) SFP Illum.

These new VX4HD's are assembled here in the USA of all USA made pieces parts. I was impressed that every screw and spring etc is sourced here in the USA, awesome. Their new BX-4 Pro Guide HD binoculars come with 3 different eyecups that are easily swapped so you get the most comfortable eyecup for you. Nice feature. No price increase over the last generation and Upgraded coatings reducing glare. These are made in Japan. There are 8 models of the Mark 5HD's available in FDE They're also releasing 2 VX-Freedom 4-12x40 & 4-12x50 (1 inch) Hunt-Plex riflescopes, $349.99 & $399.99. If you look at Leupold as the Leupold of years back take a fresh look with an open mind and we think you'll be glad that you did. Great new products priced well for you to get quality and value. We got a new Nightforce rep a few months ago and I've been looking forward to meeting him. I have to say he impressed me last week when we had a lost Fed Ex shipment that was coming into us containing a scope a customer was anxiously awaiting. He stepped up and got us one of that particular scope so the customer would get it ASAP and not have to wait for the Fed Ex disaster to be resolved. He is a personable, knowledgeable guy and I'm excited to work together with him. He showed me their new Configurable Field Spotting Scope (CFS) 6-36x50mm F1 - "The Configurable Field Spotting Scope (CFS) 6-36x50mm F1 was designed with practical field use in mind, with an emphasis on balanced ergonomics, flexible configurations, and refined optical quality, while maintaining the ruggedness Nightforce is known for. This first focal plane spotting scope features reticles that are adapted from the most popular riflescope reticles. The field-ready nature of the CFS 6-36 is reflected in the streamlined, compact, and straight design, which allows for convenient, snag-free storage and transport in, or on, a pack. The rubber knurling, 120° travel, and central location of the user controls aid in quick adjustments, while minimizing unnecessary movement and maintaining stability. Designed with configurability in mind, the Spotting Scope Accessory Cage and Spotting Scope Accessory Platform (s-RAP) provide reliable platforms for attaching thermals, night vision, red dots, laser rangefinders, data cards, and other devices, making the CFS 6-36 ideal for the professional user." Sleek and lightweight, wide FOV 6x at the bottom end, NF quality thru and thru, this is a nice addition to NF offerings. In the world of Thermals Pulsar has been an industry leader for a long time. We've done so much with Pulsar in the last year that our rep got a promotion so today I was to meet our new rep. He seems like a good guy. Time will tell of course but he seems eager to work together to deliver the same level of customer service our last rep did. As I said to him, if he's half the rep our last one was he'll be better than most. Pulsar has their new Merger Duo NXP50 Thermal Binocular Skip to product information - Duo is for both Thermal and Nightvision. More to be revealed when I get my hands on some specs. Wow, just realized that all but 2 of my meetings I met a new rep. I have to brake these guys in so they know what we all expect of them and they know customer service is paramount. I stopped by March and met with Mari. We are in talks to see if we can make this the year March works for us all. I also stopped by Riton, took a look and set up a meeting with them for tomorrow. I'll let you know what happens in tomorrow's report. My last stop was over at Garmin to look at their Xero C1 Pro Chronograph. I think this may be our 1st new product addition for SHOT 2024. Stay tuned for more on this as it develops. Remember all week we are running a SHOT Show Week Sale thru the 29th. If there's something you're interested in and it's not marked down already call, 516-217-1000, and we will hook you up. I found my way over to the gelato place for a 2 scoop cone, Chocolate and Cookies & Cream. Oh was that goooooood. We offer ZERO % financing on all web orders.

Doug from Camera Land's Day 2 SHOT Show Report Not a crazy schedule today. My first meeting was with GPO. Those of you who are not familiar with GPO it was started around a decade ago by the Ex-President of Zeiss USA and their head of R&D. Great pedigree in the optics world. GPO has been busy. They are showing their new line of Passion SD Binoculars, Rangeguide RF Binoculars in 8x40 & 10x40 and they've also got a new Centuri Riflescope Series that looks interesting with a couple of them only 9" long and light weight. The Passion SD Binoculars are another in a long over populated offering of entry level, me too binoculars. Nothing exciting here. They seem nice, starting at $299.99, however, I think another me too optic priced in line with all the others is, well, whatever. The Rangeguide RF Binoculars in 8x40 & 10x40 were a very nice addition for GPO. "Elevate your outdoor experience with GPO RANGEGUIDE 10×40 Rangefinding Binoculars. Unveil exceptional optical quality and advanced electronic rangefinding technology in THE SMALLEST, compact 40mm RF package." Available in early spring and priced at $1,299.99 these will be a big hit. To inspire you a bit, all pre-orders taken now thru the end of February will be only $999.99. Call us to get this amazing deal. The Centuri Riflescope Series shows that GPO has been paying attention and working hard to make some innovative optics. The 2 that stood out to me were: CENTURI 3-12x44i Super Compact - "Crafted for high magnification and extreme compactness. At 9.9 inches, it boasts double HD glass, a G4i illuminated micro-dot reticle, and a fast-focus ocular, perfect for ultralight and compact MSR rifles." Priced at only $499.99 CENTURI 4-16x44i FFP Super Compact - "The CENTURI 4-16x44i Super-Compact FFP Riflescope. At 9.9 inches, it combines FFP precision, double HD glass, MIL-based reticle, and zero-stop locking turrets for short ultralight tactical rifles." I loved the Tactical Mono 10x42ED Monocular, priced at only $299.99. This will be your pocket-sized tactical optic. With an offset MIL reticle, rubber armor, and a built-in belt clip, this monocular, weighing only 13.4 ounces, is your go-to tool for quick MIL readings in critical situations. Lastly, and I'd like to think this is coming because I have been asking and asking for it, they will have a new 15x50 Passion HD binocular. Coming this Summer. Pricing is expected to be only $1,399.99. I want to sweeten this so call us, 516-217-1000, and pre-order with a small deposit at 20% off from now till they arrive. That's only $1,119.99. This being far from my 1st SHOT Show I now make sure to plan meetings by booth location. I learned the hard way, years ago, that walking 10 miles back and forth by not paying attention to booth locations when setting up meetings is a major rookie mistake. I walked a few aisles over to meet with Steiner & then Burris as their booths are next to each other. Steiner announced, and already started shipping, their great new Steiner H6Xi Series Riflescopes. "Proudly Made in the USA: Inspired by years of German heritage, but crafted on American soil, the H6Xi exemplifies the finest in precision optics. With uncompromising attention to detail and craftsmanship, this series guarantees top-tier performance that meets the high standards set by hunters and shooters alike." A MIL version will be released this Spring. They showed me their new T1xi Illuminated dot sight that has 3 versions of the "dot" Either just a dot, or a circle, or both the dot surrounded by the circle. They also entered the reticle spotting scope market with their TS740 MIL reticle spotter. March is the expected delivery date. 2 touch focus (eyepiece for the reticle, body for the optical focus). Saving the best for last they showed me the new Predator 4S Riflescope, S standing for short. Just under 11" and when matched with their new clip on C35 Thermal only about 17" long. This will be a popular scope. Great stuff from Steiner for sure. Burris released their new Burris FastFire C Red Dot Reflex Sight designed specifically for sub-compact and micro-compact pistols used in everyday and concealed carry. Burris has expanded their line of Veracity Scopes to include: 2.5-12x42 FFP ILL 3-15x44 FFP ILL 4-20x50 FFP ILL "Featuring the new Burris PĒK (Programmable Elevation Knob) System the Veracity PH takes speed and precision to the highest level." These are slightly smaller than the previous model, with a new optical system. You can illuminate the HUD only or both the HUD and Reticle at you choice. "In addition to the Veracity PH’s exceptional precision and ease of use, it also offers hunters an informative heads-up display. By pairing with the BurrisConnect app via Bluetooth®, the Veracity PH shows all the information hunters need in one clean sight picture. The display shows elevation turret position in yards, meters or MOA, as well as rifle cant, rifle angle, distance-accurate wind holdover and battery level." Finally a new Eliminator 6 - Sleek design, "the Eliminator 6 empowers hunters to achieve unparalleled accuracy in the most challenging conditions. At the touch of a button, this redesigned marvel ranges and displays the target distance, swiftly calculates the exact aiming point and wind data, all within the scope for heightened situational awareness. By providing this information in one clear view, hunters don’t have to pull away from the scope to find the information they need. No more questioning if you have the right information — it’s all right there in one picture." I also saw their new line of Thermal Riflescopes, Thermal Clip On and Handheld. So much new offered in Thermal that I am putting This Link Here to their site so at your leisure you can check it all out. You'll be happy you did. Next I arrived at Tangent Theta. We had a great time catching up. These guys are awesome. We actually had a very productive meeting and you'll be seeing the addition of their...... ELCAN Specter Line, SAI Optics & Tenebraex Riflescope Accessories. Their Tangent Theta Riflescopes, as I trust you're aware, are the Rolls Royce of riflescopes and I apologize for not adding these other offerings sooner. The SA1 1-6x24 "is perfect for the true competitive marksman. Loaded with features to assist in long range targeting, it is ideally suited for competitive and recreational shooters requiring precision, control and performance. The SAI™ series of optical sights provide a rugged and versatile solution for a variety of sighting requirements in variable magnification. With an LED-illuminated First Focal Plane reticle, ranging and ballistic hold-off is accurately achieved at any magnification. The proprietary Rapid Aiming Feature™ reticle and superior field of view enhance close-quarter effectiveness." New for 2024 is the Elcan Specter DR 1-4 which comes equipped with integrated Picatinny rails, ambidextrous magnification throw levers, improved battery covers, and hard-wearing CERAKOTE® performance finishes in Black or Flat Dark Earth (FDE). "The SpecterDR 1-4 Dual Role Optical Sight represents a revolution in optical sight design. The world’s first truly dual field of view combat optical sight, the SpecterDR switches instantly from a 4x magnified sight to a 1x CQB sight with the throw of a lever. Unlike zoom sights, the SpecterDR offers an optimized optical path and identical eye relief in both 4x and 1x modes". My last scheduled meeting was with Meopta. Nothing new today, but this Summer you'll be excited about their new MeoStar R Riflescopes. 1-6x24, 2.5-15x50 PA & 4-24x56 PA. These are scopes you'd expect to be priced around $2,000.00 and I think they'll step up and price them closer to $1,000.00. On my way out I stopped again at Riton and chatted a while and looked at their scopes. Not sure yet, what do you think? Remember all week we are running a SHOT Show Week Sale so if it's not marked down already call, 516-217-1000, and we will hook you up.

Camera Land's Shot Show Preview I'm headed out to Vegas next Sunday for SHOT. Of course I will be writing and posting a daily SHOT Show report. We have set up a SHOT Show News tab on our home page for you to see updates and new product announcements. As always I'm looking forward to the show, seeing people and maybe adding a new brand or 2. Last year we added Arken & InfiRay. Also, after speaking with a few vendors as well as requests from our customers, we started carrying Branded Apparel . We have already received word of some new releases for 2024: The new line up of Leupold Mark 4 Riflescopes. The Mark 4HD series features five magnification ranges, providing you with an accurate and reliable option for close-quarter engagements, long-range dominance, and everything in between. They’re available with a three-turn elevation dial for unmatched confidence at extreme distances, a precise ZeroLock windage adjustment that won’t budge when knocked around, and a side focus that delivers tack-sharp images as close as 25 yards. And like all Leupold riflescopes, they’re waterproof, fogproof, and backed by their lifetime guarantee. According to our rep these should start arriving in the next couple of weeks and all versions should be in by Spring. Steiner announced and already started shipping their great new Steiner H6Xi Series Riflescopes.

New Swarovski AX Visio 10x32 Binocular Swarovski just announced THE FIRST SMART BINOCULARS Combining traditional high-precision sport optics with state-of-the-art technology, the AX Visio transforms the way we observe nature. The AX Visio is the first AI supported binoculars to offer object identification with a simple touch of a button. OBSERVE The SWAROVISION technology features spectacular color intensity, depth of detail and uncompromising image definition. IDENTIFY Assists with identifying birds and other creatures at the touch of a button. SHARE DISCOVERIES Easily guide companions directly to your observation point. The AX Visio allows users to identify more than 9,000 birds and mammals. OUTDOOR APP Manage or share your observations (images & videos) in the internal media gallery. Live view with up to four additional smartphones. The built-in 13 MP sensor camera captures high-quality images and 4K resolution videos that can be instantly shared with a smartphone app. EVERYTHING AT A GLANCE As the first smart binoculars, the AX Visio with integrated apps open up access to nature and learning experiences with useful extra functions and different identification options – combined with outstanding optical observation quality. WILDLIFE ID The Swarovski Optik Wildlife ID smartphone app is the model on which the integrated Mammal ID, Butterfly ID, and Dragonfly ID apps in the AX Visio are based. SWAROVSKI OPTIK OUTDOOR APP The SWAROVSKI OPTIK Outdoor App allows you to transfer data to your cell phone and manage settings. The Live View feature (turn the mode selection wheel on the AX Visio to the camera symbol) makes it possible to share the view with up to four other smartphones using a QR code. The Outdoor App needs to be installed on these devices as well to be able to connect to the Live View with the AX Visio. In the app, select “I don’t have an AX Visio” (Settings – Connectivity) and scan the QR code shown on the master device. No identification is possible in Live View mode. When installing the app, please accept all system prompts (permission for access to photos, location, etc.), otherwise you will not be able to use all the functionalities of the app (for example, no photos can be saved). We recommend always running the updates available in the App Garden of the SWAROVSKI OPTIK Outdoor App. Two different sizes of circle can be selected for identification support (using the arrow button). For a good identification result, it is important to select the size of circle that best captures the entire bird. With Geolocation, the geographic location is factored into the identification process. This always runs automatically in the background if there is an available GPS signal (usually no signal in buildings). Without GPS, just one segment of the circle will be shown in bold in the field of view. As soon as there is a signal, depending on the detection quality, up to 4 segments are shown in bold – the more segments displayed in bold, the higher the probability of a correct result. The number of quarter segments shown with the identification result indicates the reliability of the result – the more segments, the more reliable the result. SHARE DISCOVERIES For most effective use of this function, we recommend approximately the same physical location for observing and transferring. In other words, the second person should not be too far from the observation position (max. 1 meter/3.3 feet). CAMERA AND SAVING IMAGES With its 13 MP sensor (4208 x 3120 px), the AX Visio's integrated camera provides a 4K resolution (1920 x 1080 px) for videos. The internal memory of 8 GB can store around 1,700 photos or 1 hour of video in full quality. Photos can be loaded using the Outdoor App, Merlin Bird ID, or Wildlife ID app. All photos are automatically sent to a special AX Visio folder created in the smartphone memory. In each case, all photos are transferred from the AX Visio. We offer ZERO % financing on all web orders. Please look at Affirm at check out, if this is something that interests you, for 0% financing.

Welcome to 2024 at Camera Land Another new year is here. With the turn of the calendar comes many things....Some good, some not so good. Great news is we are still the same family owned and operated, customer service oriented, shop you're used to and all of our crew is still here to service you. Since 1957 we have been a fantastic source for Sport Optics and Camera gear as well as product advice and service. Other great news is we have finished year end inventory. Great for both of us. For us, it's behind us, for you it's great as we have reduced pricing on a slew of product and added it to: Flash Sale Section - Clearance Section - Open Box Section - Demo Section & Specials Section Check these sections out and see the great savings opportunities. The not so good news is with the new year, unfortunately, most companies send out new price books with price increases. Going against that trend we received our new Athlon 2024 Price Book and did a double take as they lowered pricing on most of their riflescopes. When I called and inquired I was informed they understand what's going on with the economy and are tightening their belts to help out their customers. That's great customer care from a company already known for great customer service and quality products. SHOT Show is right around the corner so we will be reporting in our SHOT Show News Section to keep you informed of new products and industry updates. We have many meetings planned at SHOT as well as leaving a full day open to walk the show and look for new products. Last year we added InfiRay Thermal & Arken Riflescopes. We are excited to see what this year will bring. We offer ZERO % financing on all web orders. Please look at Affirm at check out, if this is something that interests you, for 0% financing.
