The TL3000 is designed as a more accessible option in the WMLRF space, targeting a $600 price point and summer 2026 availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe $600 price tag should be attractive to many readers. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nArken positions the TL3000 as a practical solution for shooters who want ranging, inclination correction, and ballistic data in a single unit without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLaser Rangefinding and Ballistic Features <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The TL3000’s operational parameters span from 5 to 3,000 yards.

At SHOT Show 2026, Arken Optics previewed the TL3000, a weapon-mounted laser rangefinder with integrated ballistic calculation and Bluetooth connectivity. The TL3000 is designed as a more accessible option in the WMLRF space, targeting a $600 price point and summer 2026 availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe $600 price tag should be attractive to many readers. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nArken positions the TL3000 as a practical solution for shooters who want ranging, inclination correction, and ballistic data in a single unit without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLaser Rangefinding and Ballistic Features <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The TL3000’s operational parameters span from 5 to 3,000 yards.
