Greeley, CO – For more than a decade, the Burris Veracity series has set the standard for precision hunting optics. Recognized for its class-leading performance, ultra-rugged reliability, and award-winning design, the original Veracity helped define what serious hunters expect from a premium, non-digital riflescope.

Now, for 2026, Burris proudly introduces the next generation of Veracity riflescopes—a complete redesign that elevates this proven platform with enhanced optical performance, refined ergonomics, and innovative new features to help hunters find success in any environment.

The new Veracity series is available in three versatile 5x magnification ranges—2.5-12x42mm, 3-15x44mm, and 5-25x50mm—with five reticle options in both first and second focal planes, offering something for every hunter and every style of pursuit.

The second-generation Veracity is now more compact and streamlined, offering improved handling and balance in the field without sacrificing performance. Burris engineers have incorporated fully multi-coated lenses and premium ED glass to deliver the brightest, sharpest, and most color-accurate optical experience ever in a Burris hunting scope. The result is a riflescope line that performs flawlessly from first light to last, with edge-to-edge clarity and exceptional low-light capability.

Hunters will immediately recognize Burris’ new R.E.D. Industrial Design, integrated into the second-generation Veracity, featuring the distinctive red ocular accent and aggressive, high-traction knurling on the turret caps and magnification ring. This new design not only offers visual appeal but also provides enhanced functionality with a no-slip grip for fast, decisive operation when seconds count.

A key upgrade across all second-generation Veracity models is the integration of Burris’ new Knob Synergy System. This modular turret platform allows shooters to tailor their setup to their exact needs—whether they prefer a low-profile capped elevation knob with a zero click stop for a streamlined field configuration, an exposed windage knob for fast on-the-fly corrections, or a custom laser-engraved elevation turret matched precisely to their cartridge and ballistic profile. Every Veracity scope ships standard with a capped windage knob and the Pro Elevation Knob—a two-turn, exposed dialing turret featuring a zero click stop for fast, repeatable, and accurate adjustments in any condition.

The new-generation Veracity lineup features five refined reticle designs—the proven 3PW-MOA, Plex, Plex Fiber Dot, and RC-MOA, along with the new RCT-MOA. The Plex Fiber Dot reticle incorporates a bright fiber-optic dot (Fiber Dot) that delivers a crisp, highly visible aiming point in any lighting condition. The RCT-MOA reticle introduces a modern, simplified “Christmas tree” layout, providing the precise holdover and windage information today’s hunters demand without the complexity of traditional grid-style designs.

The new Veracity riflescope series is offered in the following combinations: Read more

City of Industry, CA – The AEMS line has consistently challenged the idea that a rifle optic must be large to feel spacious. For 2026, Holosun expands that concept with a three-model family: AEMS MACRO, AEMS MICRO, and AEMS MICRO SAR, each scaled to match different rifle roles without compromising durability or visual clarity. Instead of offering one optic and forcing shooters to adapt to it, this lineup provides proportional solutions: a wide, confident sight picture in the MACRO, a compact, agile footprint in the MICRO, and a structured alignment reticle in the MICRO SAR. Together, they deliver a range of visual architectures built on the same engineering foundation.

The AEMS MACRO anchors the family with the largest field of view. Its 2 MOA dot and 32 MOA circle reticle is engineered for shooters who rely on broad spatial awareness and rapid orientation. The large window feels natural during fast transitions, allowing the dot to remain accessible through recoil and movement without visually overwhelming the shooter. For competition or duty pistols, PCCs, carbines, and rifles where speed and openness matter most, the MACRO provides an unusually generous sight picture for an optic in this size class with superior chassis protection.

The AEMS MICRO prioritizes footprint and agility. It retains a clean glass presentation but compresses the housing for platforms where weight, mounting space, or overall balance are more critical. With the same dot and circle-dot reticle structure as the MACRO, the MICRO maintains speed while offering a tighter visual frame suited to smaller rifles or shooters who prefer a more contained optical environment. It is the most versatile of the three, being both small enough for compact builds and large enough to maintain clarity under recoil.

The AEMS MICRO SAR borrows the MICRO’s chassis but introduces a more disciplined reticle system. Read more

The Smallest Green Dot Sight on the Market—Purpose-Built for One of America’s Most Carried Pistols

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Viridian Weapon Technologies proudly announces the launch of the RFX1 Green Dot Reflex Sight, the first and only optic engineered specifically for the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0. As one of the most carried pistols in the U.S., the Bodyguard 2.0 is trusted for its compact reliability—and now, for the first time, Viridian brings a dedicated green dot solution built to match its performance, scale, and sleek design.

Unlike many modern pistols, the Bodyguard 2.0 does not come optics-ready, leaving users with no factory path to upgrade their sighting system—until now. The RFX1 solves this gap with a clever, drop-in mounting system that replaces the rear sight and locks into the existing dovetail channel—no slide cuts, adapter plates, or gunsmithing required.

Its low-profile form factor seamlessly matches the contours of the Bodyguard 2.0, preserving the pistol’s concealability while adding rapid, intuitive aiming capability. Read more

City of Industry, CA – The AEMS platform has earned its place as one of Holosun’s most versatile compact rifle-optic systems, delivering full-size visual performance in a streamlined footprint. For 2026, Holosun advances that design philosophy with two new models, the AEMS-EVO and the AEMS-EVO DUAL, each engineered to meet distinct real-world shooting demands while sharing a common emphasis on clarity, durability, and intelligent adaptability.

Both optics feature an expanded 1.26 × 0.98-inch viewing window, providing enhanced situational awareness and faster reticle acquisition under recoil, during movement, or when shooting from unconventional positions. A forward-facing light sensor supports this visual upgrade by adjusting reticle brightness based on the target environment rather than ambient lighting at the shooter’s position, providing an advantage when transitioning between interior, exterior, or mixed-light conditions.

Built on rugged 7075-T6 aluminum housings with IPX8 waterproof ratings and 1000G vibration resistance, the AEMS-EVO series maintains zero through extended round counts, field use, and harsh environments. Both models utilize Holosun’s Multi-Reticle System™ (2 MOA dot, 65 MOA circle, or circle-dot) and incorporate Solar Failsafe™, Shake Awake™, and memory functionality for predictable and efficient operation across long service cycles.

Designed for shooters seeking the visual stability of a full-size optic in a compact footprint, the AEMS-EVO focuses on maximizing optical performance without increasing mass or complexity. Its refined chassis preserves the familiar AEMS profile while improving handling and ergonomics, maintaining a lower-third co-witness height on the included mount and remaining compatible with carbines, PCCs, and defensive rifles where sight height and weight are critical.

A side-loading CR2032 battery delivers up to 50,000 hours of runtime at mid-brightness settings, supported by Holosun power-management technology to ensure consistent readiness whether the optic is in daily use or staged for defensive deployment. Read more

Built on a 30mm tube and offering up to 100 MOA of adjustment, each new Credo HX model features fully multi-coated, broadband anti-reflective glass that delivers excellent light transmission and edge-to-edge clarity. The result is true-to-life color, sharp detail, and zero distortion—especially valuable during early morning or late-evening hunts. Large objective lenses help increase exit pupil size, enhancing low-light performance even further.

A repositionable magnification lever allows shooters to adapt quickly to changing shooting positions and rifle configurations, while easy-grip controls provide fast, intuitive adjustments in the field.

Credo HX riflescopes are tested to Military Standards and Read more

Holosun has always approached pistol optics from a shooter’s point of view: start with the problems that show up on the clock and build hardware that quietly takes them off the table. The new 507-PROMAX is a direct expression of that mindset. It is built for high-tempo shooting where split times shrink, transitions get wider, and sight tracking becomes the deciding factor. With an enlarged window, a forward-leaning sunshade, and a purpose-built Performance Reticle System, the 507-PROMAX provides competitive and performance-driven shooters with more usable information in every presentation, without adding clutter or gimmicks.

Where most pistol optics require shooters to adapt their stage plan to a fixed reticle, the 507-PROMAX allows the reticle to adjust to the shooter. At the heart of the system is Holosun’s Performance Reticle System (PRS): a precise 2 MOA center dot anchored by selectable 8, 20, and 32 MOA circles in Red, Green, or Gold. That geometry isn’t decorative; each ring becomes a visual reference that serves a specific role. A 2 MOA circle helps the eye catch sight faster on the draw and stay locked through recoil. Intermediate 8- and 20-MOA circles give the shooter indexing tools for partials, awkward positions, or fast transitions across steel arrays. On demand, the optic can be set up as a clean dot, a coarse circle, or a layered reticle that matches the stage and the shooter’s style.

The housing and window work quietly in the background to support that reticle. Built from 7075-T6 aluminum, the 507-PROMAX maintains the durability shooters expect while carving out a noticeably broader sight picture than the previous 507COMP. The 0.91 × 0.67-inch window is framed by a forward-leaning sunshade that helps cut glare and preserve contrast on the reticle in inconsistent lighting, whether that’s bright outdoor bays, artificial indoor light, or mixed environments where the shooter moves from dark to light in a single run. Weighing in at just 1.55 ounces, the optic maintains a balanced feel on the slide. It sits on the familiar RMR footprint, maintaining compatibility with pistols already cut to that pattern.

Power and controls are built for people who’d rather spend their time shooting than babysitting an optic. Read more
