Nightforce is pleased to announce that the Marine Corps selected the MIL-SPEC ATACR 5-25×56 F1 for the updated Mk13 Mod 7 sniper system.

As optics companies strive for ever better and cheaper scopes, a clear winner has emerged. The consumer. We live in the golden age of optics and weapons, as evidenced by this weeks test of the Leupold Mark 5.

Even 15 years ago, you would be lucky to match that at any price outside of a benchrest rig.

Swedish optics company Aimpoint has joined the pistol-ready micro red dot world with their new ACRO Series, an enclosed sight designed to survive in the toughest environments.

Vortex’s new contender in the 1X arena isn’t even a true vintage style Red-Dot sight at all. It is actually a small one power prismatic scope. It isn’t dependent on shining LEDs, lasers, or fiber optic transmitted light upon a lens to create an aiming point.

During the 2018 NRA Show in Dallas, Texas, Leupold announced six new models of their VX-Freedom line of scopes.  Here’s a quick rundown on why you should care:
The VX- Freedom line is replacing both the VX-1 and VX-2 line of scopes.
Leupold has figured out how to streamline the manufacturing process and you are essentially getting

For years Trijicon’s Miniature Rifle Optic has maintained the gold standard in red dots, but that hasn’t stopped the company from working to improve its legendary design.
