Pulsar has released the Telos LRF XT50, the new flagship monocular in its upgradeable Telos series. Built for hunters who cover a lot of ground after dark, the XT50 combines a 1,280×1,024, 12 µm HD thermal sensor with a wide 17.5° field of view, a 2,516-yard detection range, 2x–16x magnification with Zoom Boost up to 24x, a Full HD AMOLED display with image stabilization, and a built-in laser rangefinder that measures out to 1,312 yards. A 128 GB recorder and Pulsar’s upgradeable Telos platform round out the package.

The XT50 has an ergonomic, rubber-coated body for a secure grip in wet or cold weather, with its main controls grouped on top for easy access. The focus and zoom rings sit near the front lens, matching the rest of the Telos line, and use more aggressive texturing to make adjustments easier with cold hands or gloves. As the flagship of the Telos family, the XT50 also carries a gold-accented finish that sets it apart from the rest of the line at a glance.

The real test of a thermal monocular comes after a heat signature appears at distance: can the hunter tell what is actually out there? The XT50’s 1,280×1,024, 12 µm sensor is built to preserve enough detail at range to distinguish between different animals, even in poor weather, instead of reducing everything to the same vague warm shape.

The wide 17.5° field of view lets users scan more area at once, so they can spend less time sweeping back and forth and more time watching the target. Once something is spotted, the Full HD AMOLED display and image stabilization keep the image steady and clear even at high zoom, making it easier to study distant targets without eye strain. The 128 GB of storage provides plenty of room to capture photos and video. Read more

EOTECH offers a variety of Hybrid Holographic Sights (HHS) that combine a Holographic Weapon Sight and a fixed magnifier. This combination provides the user with uncompromised speed and precision at either close- or long-range situations. Today, EOTECH is proud to collaborate with UNITY Tactical to provide HHS systems that incorporate their high-performance mounting systems.

The EOTECH HHS UNITY I combine the battle-proven EXPS3-0 and G33 3X magnifier with the UNITY FAST™ FTC OMNI Mount and FAST™ Optic Riser for rapid transitions from CQB to distance engagements. Available in either Black or Tan, these systems feature a 2.26-inch optical centerline height for improved heads-up shooting posture and situational awareness, the FTC OMNI Mount allows the magnifier to stow completely below the optic’s sightline for instant, obstruction-free target acquisition.

The FAST™ FTC OMNI magnifier mount uses a force-to-overcome mechanism, stowing the magnifier below the optical sight plane and within the footprint of the weapon’s receiver when not in use. Its technology is an alternative to flip-to-side style mounts that may create snag hazards or occlusion of sight pictures when stowed. The Omni mount comes standard with a low-profile integrated FAST™ QD Lever while the FAST Optic Riser uses two clamp screws for more permanent attachment.

The EXPS3 model offers side buttons that are useful when using night-vision systems or magnifiers. It is equipped with an adjustable, lockable quick-detach lever for easy attachment and removal.

Designed for Compact Tactical Riflescopes

German Precision Optics (GPO USA) proudly announces the GPO Setback™ Cantilever 3″ extension mount designed for compact tactical 30mm riflescopes. This design allows compact riflescopes to be mounted up to either 3″ forward or rearward, depending on what the optical system requires for optimal eye relief.

“This new mount is a must for compact riflescope users,” said Mike Jensen, Owner and CEO of GPO, USA. “Most riflescope mounts push optics forward. Compact tactical scopes often require the opposite. The GPO SetBack™ allows you to bring the optic rearward, allowing shooters to achieve proper eye relief, faster target acquisition, and a more natural head position behind the rifle. The result is improved comfort, a full sight picture, and maximum performance from today’s compact precision optics.”

The GPO SetBack™ 3″ cantilever was designed and engineered specifically for today’s ultra-compact tactical optics. While compact scopes offer significant advantages in weight, balance, and handling, their shorter main tube length often limits mounting flexibility and can place the optic too far forward for proper eye relief. The SetBack solves this problem by moving the scope mounting position up to 3 inches rearward, allowing shooters to achieve a full field of view and a comfortable shooting position without compromising rail engagement or mounting security. The GPO SetBack™ ensures your optic sits exactly where it should, closer or further to your eye and ready for maximum performance. Read more

The “U” notch rear sight is angled and serrated to reduce glare and aid in front-sight focus.

HD XR Night Sights retain these features while using a thinner .122-inch front sight post combined with a “U” notch rear sight that is angled and serrated to reduce glare and aid in front-sight focus. A thinner front sight post allows the shooter to have a larger field of view which further enhances the ability to identify targets, expedite engagements and see hits on target at longer distances.

Leupold & Stevens, Inc., provider of the world’s most rugged, lightweight, and clear sport optics, is pleased to announce the launch of its new VX-Freedom Straight-Wall riflescope.

Built specifically for rifles chambered for popular straight-wall cartridges, the VX-Freedom Straight-Wall gives hunters a fast, simple, and precise aiming solution in the moments that matter most. It ships with three pre-calibrated elevation dials, one for each of the three most common straight-wall hunting cartridges: .350 Legend, .400 Legend, and .450 Bushmaster.

“Many states that once limited gun hunters to using shotgun slugs for deer have now made it legal to hunt with a straight-wall rifle cartridge,” said Vici Peters, Gold Ring Product Line Manager for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “With that added capability comes the opportunity to take longer shots–which means compensating for bullet drop. With the VX-Freedom Straight-Wall, we take care of that for you. Just choose your cartridge, zero your rifle, and install the appropriate, included dial. It makes hitting a target at several hundred yards as easy as range, dial, and shoot.”

The VX-Freedom Straight-Wall has the pre-calibrated .350 Legend dial installed out of the box. The .400 Legend and .450 Bushmaster dials are included and can be swapped out using a simple Allen wrench. The pre-calibrated dials allow hunters to shoot with confidence by simply turning the dial to the correct distance and holding dead on for a more precise solution than traditional holdover reticles.

Leupold & Stevens, Inc., provider of the world’s most rugged, lightweight, and clear sport optics, is pleased to announce the addition of two industry-leading ballistic solvers to its RX-5000 rangefinder: Hornady’s 4DOF® ballistic calculator for rifle shooters and the Precision Cut Archery ballistic calculator for bowhunters and competitive archers.

The new features can be downloaded for free through the Leupold Control App and installed upon new and existing RX-5000 units through a firmware update upon establishing a Bluetooth connection with your mobile device.

“When we launched the BX-6 Range HD early in 2026, we specifically selected Hornady’s 4DOF® calculator and the Precision Cut Archery software for their incredible performance,” said Eric Overstreet, Technology Product Line Manager for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “Thanks to the capabilities of the Leupold Control App, we’re now able to bring that same performance to our handheld RX-5000, making industry-leading technology available to even more hunters and shooters worldwide.

The RX-5000 is the first handheld rangefinder to utilize the Hornady 4DOF® ballistic calculator, which provides a modern ballistic solver that models how your specific bullet behaves in flight, delivering dependable, highly accurate trajectory solutions at long range. Unlike traditional ballistic calculators that rely on a ballistic coefficient, 4DOF® uses real, Doppler-measured bullet data to account for bullet drag. Those drag coefficients are then paired with the exact physical model of your specific projectile. By matching drag coefficient and the physical model of the bullet, 4DOF® can accurately predict the dynamic responses of your bullet in flight, providing more reliable predictions for drop and wind drift, helping shooters make confident adjustments when precision matters most.

The RX-5000 also offers Leupold’s existing CDS ballistic technology, which provides angle-compensated shoot-to distances for rifle hunters and pairs with Leupold’s Custom Dial System (CDS) compatible riflescopes for fast, accurate solutions to typical hunting distance. Though the Leupold Control App, the RX-5000’s CDS setting offers 25 selectable ballistics groups that account for your preferred cartridge, helping you dial in the exact range of your target. A basic Line of Sight (LOS) mode is also available.

Archery hunters and competition shooters are taken care of, too, with the inclusion of the new Precision Cut Archery Software. PCA uses your arrow weight, arrow velocity, peep height, and environmentals to calculate extremely accurate archery ballistic solutions. By including your atmospheric conditions when sighting in and setting up sight tapes Leupold provides accurate shoot-to distances at all elevations and angles, corrected to your sight-in tape.

“PCA changes the game by reducing re-zero requirements when your archery camp changes elevation,” said Eric Overstreet, Technology Product Line Manager for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “It will provide ranges compensated to your sight tape, regardless of location or atmospheric conditions. It’s the equivalent of real-time ballistics for archers.”

The RX-5000’s ballistic software is managed through the unit’s Bluetooth connection with the Leupold Control App. The Leupold Control app transforms your mobile device into a powerful command center for select Leupold rangefinding products. With it, you’ll dominate the field as you customize modes and settings, adjust your ballistic profiles, capture accurate ranges, and precisely drop GPS waypoints—all with just a few quick taps.

Available for free download in the Apple Store and for Android on Google Play, the Leupold Control App allows you to customize your RX-5000 experience. Choose your ballistics, your rangefinding display settings, your reticle, and more.

Through the Leupold Control App, the RX-5000 has always provided access to Leupold’s Precision GPS Pinning system. Using your phone’s GPS, pinning allows you to remotely drop location pins on digital mapping platforms like onX Hunt, HuntStand, Google Maps, and Apple Maps, ATAK, and additional mapping services, turning every range into a recorded waypoint.

The RX-5000 will accurately range in the snow, rain, and fog, thanks to its Last Target mode. It provides exceptionally bright and clear images with a high light transmission red AMOLED display and makes long-range target acquisition fast and easy with its 8x magnification. When mounted on a tripod and set to Long Range mode, the RX-5000 can reach distances past 5,000 yards. It will also quickly range trees out to 3,000 yards, and deer-sized game at 2,000 yards.
