Bushnell Tactical Introduces New Elite Tactical Scope

Bushnell Outdoor Products, an industry leader in high performance sports optics for more than 60 years, has introduced a new 1-8.5x 24mm short to mid-range riflescope (SMRS). The Elite Tactical 1-8.5x 24mm riflescope is available with the BTR-2 illuminated, mil-hash reticle in a first focal plane design. The new tactical SMRS 1-8.5x 24mm scope combines close quarters precision with outstanding mid-range capability. With true one power magnification, this scope delivers instant target acquisition at close range combined with the ability to acquire targets at extended ranges by taking advantage of the versatile magnification range. The scope is built with a 34 mm tube to allow room to dial at extended ranges, and features sturdy T-Lok locking target turrets with .1 mil click values and 10 mils per revolution. The riflescope features the versatile Ignition illuminated BTR-2 reticle with 11 brightness settings (an off position between each setting) for quick adjustments in any light condition. The Ignition reticle increases overall brightness at any setting, with improved concentration of light on the illuminated portion of the reticle. The mil-hash BTR-2 reticle is designed to allow marksmen to quickly make range, holdover and windage adjustments. The reticle has a chromium backing on the muzzle side to eliminate the possibility of light emitting from the front of the scope. Bushnell Elite Tactical series scopes are built to withstand the rigors of the field, whether in military and law enforcement situations, competitions or countless rounds at the range. With fully multi-coated optics and the new anti-reflective Ultra Wide Band (UWB) coating, the scope delivers light transmission across more of the visible light spectrum than before. This feature leads to enhanced clarity, exceptional brightness and true color from dawn to dusk. Built from high-quality forged aluminum alloy, the scope features a robust 34mm one-piece tube and Argon purging. Integrated to deliver long-lasting performance and reliability, Argon provides added resistance against corrosion, reduced chances of fogging and longer seal life. The scopes are 100 percent fog proof, shock proof and waterproof. Bushnell takes all-weather performance a step further with its patented RainGuard HD lens coating. The permanent, water-resistant finish gives shooters a clear view when weather conditions present a challenge. Contact Bushnell Outdoor Products, 9200 Cody Street, Overland Park, KS 66214.

Leatherman Introduces the MUT

After more than 18 months of research and collaboration with competitive shooters and operational snipers, Leatherman has completed development of the MUT; an everyday carry multi-tool with central features for weapon maintenance. The MUT is the first tool to combine both weapon’s upkeep and general utility tools in one platform, making it the perfect tool for everyone from competitive and recreational shooters, to military and law enforcement professionals. Central to the MUT are: the bolt override tool to clear a jam without disassembly (also doubles as a hammer); replaceable carbon scraper to keep the weapon clean and performing at its best; replaceable firearm disassembly punch, the threads of which accept cleaning rods and brushes; replaceable cutting hook for clothing, zip ties, or cord; and interchangeable screwdrivers in the popular sizes for adjusting sighting systems. Utility tools include: a knife; saw; needle-nose and pliers; regular, hard and stranded-wire cutters, a carabiner/bottle opener, and optics mount adjustment wrench accessory. The materials used in the MUT include non-scarring bronze for the carbon scraper and 154CM steel that keeps an edge three-times as long for wires cutters. Other features include extra-large, one-handed opening blade and extra-long bits to reach into tight places. The bits were sized specifically for adjustment to all current and last-generation optics rings and pistol grips. In addition, quick and easy replacement logic was built into the most commonly used parts. The MUT will be available in a black or silver utility model and a black EOD version. The EOD model has mil-spec cap crimpers, fuze wire cutters and a C4 punch (instead of the firearms disassembly punch) designed for use by those in a breacher or EOD tech capacity. Both models come with a mil-spec MOLLE sheath and are covered under the Leatherman 25-year warranty. For more information please contact Leatherman Tool Group, Inc., Dept.

At the core of the 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD is the machined solid-steel, cylindrical Model 700 receiver design ensuring uniformity, strength and solid bedding area. Unique to this precision rifle is the 20-inch heavy-contour clean barrel, threaded to accept AAC and all 5/8-24 threaded flash hiders, muzzle brakes and suppressors. The tactical-style carbon steel, hammer-forged barrel is the perfect balance between handling in tight spots and delivering pinpoint accuracy. With a twist rate of one in 10 inches, this rifle is optimized for accuracy. These specialty, bolt-action rifles are shipped with a thread protector installed. The rock-solid barreled action is bedded into a well-designed, Hogue Overmolded Ghillie Green pillar bedded synthetic stock with a semi-beavertail fore-end for added stability. This soft-touch, sure-grip stock is extremely comfortable for extended, long range shooting and assures a positive grip in both stressful situations and inclement weather. The dual point pillar bedding guarantees a solid interface between the action and stock to help insure cold bore accuracy and prevent point-of-impact shifts.

The rock-solid Laserguard uses the frame of the pistol as its foundation for stability, giving the LG-449 industry-leading shot repeatability. The design of the LG-449 follows the sweeping lines of the SR9c to produce an appealing accessory that looks natural to the pistol itself. The same texture pattern on the frame of the pistol is carried over to the texture of the LG-449 making the combination of the superb handgun and laser aiming device seamless and unobtrusive. The ultra-compact 3.3mm diode powered by either one-1/3N 3V lithium battery or two-357 silver oxide batteries gives this Laserguard model an extremely compact yet powerful beam that is completely user-adjustable for both windage and elevation.
