RICHMOND, Va. — Experienced hunters and shooters understand that, when setting up a rifle for a specific purpose, a key element is selecting the right riflescope for the task at hand. From lightweight mountain rifles to heavy beanfield models, and everything in between, GPO USA (German Precision Optics) has a high-quality, affordable scope to meet the needs of every hunter on the planet.
“Fly fishermen call it ‘matching the hatch,’” said Mike Jensen, GPO USA President and CEO. “They know they need to present exactly the right fly to maximize their chances of success. Hunters that mount exactly the right riflescope on their rifle will likewise maximize both their enjoyment and their chances of making the shot during even the most difficult conditions.”
GPO USA offers a full array of options for hunters, from the PASSION™ 3X and 4X line offering both one-inch and 30mm tubes and 42mm, 50mm and 56mm objective lenses, all the way through the award-winning SPECTRA™ scopes series with dozens of models that include 30mm & 34mm tubes — and objective lenses ranging between 44mm and 56mm. SPECTRA™ has all the bells and whistles you’d expect from top-end scopes so there is something that will meet every hunter’s needs, and budget.
Among the many top-end features found in all GPO riflescopes, two stand out — the company’s proprietary GPObright™ coating process and Double HD Objective Lens Technology.
GPObright™ coating is a process that maximizes light transmission through each surface of an optical element. As light hits an optical surface,
normal uncoated high-performance glass can reflect up to five percent of that light, redirecting this light so it does not transmit through the optical system. However, when these high-performance lenses are vacuum coated with GPObright™ lens coatings, up to 99.7 percent of the available light passes through each optical surface. Furthermore, when every surface of the entire optical system is properly coated, total light transmission can reach up to more than 92 percent, making the optical image of a GPO binocular or riflescope “bright,” even in the lowest light conditions.
Double HD Objective Lens Technology is the final product, created when multiple extra-low dispersion lenses are chemically laminated to make a single, multilayer high-performance optical lens. Laminating multiple lenses minimizes light reflection on the surface of multiple lenses, creates enhanced resolution and color contrast images, and minimizes chromatic aberrations. This benefit is clearly visible with all GPO products supporting this feature. This high-performance process is routinely found in the photographic market and with the highest-quality photographic lens manufacturers but has now transitioned into premium sporting optics.
“At GPO, our mission is to give the consumer the very best optics in the world without breaking the bank,” Jensen said. “We strive to provide the best premium product line at the absolute best price/value ratios in the industry. We offer a powerful industry SPECTACULAR LIFETIME WARRANTY™ to consumers that is fully transferable, with no warranty card registration and no proof of purchase required. It’s our promise to you that we stand by our products, a promise we can make because we have absolute faith in our product quality.”
GPO riflescopes, binoculars and rangefinders are currently available at retailers nationwide. More information on the entire line of GPO products can be found at www.gpo-usa.com.
