TAMPA, FL – Meopta Sport Optics is pleased to announce the MeoStar S2 82 HD spotting scope has been named ‘Best Value’ by Outdoor Life in its April 2022 spotting scope test. Outdoor Life’s Andrew McKean tested a variety of spotting scopes from premium glass to budget options to help guide readers on important aspects to consider before buying a spotting scope. He notes that spotting scopes are “indispensable for many purposes like assessing distant animals during a hunt, determining whether you hit or missed a steel target at a mile, and whether the bird you’re glassing is a rare specimen or a common species.”

The MeoStar S2 82 HD tested was the straight-body model. It also comes in an angled body. Eyepieces are interchangeable and available in 20-70x or 30-60x WA (wide angle). The S2 82 features extra-low-dispersion fluoride glass that eliminates chromatic aberration and delivers sharp resolution, outstanding contrast and color fidelity.

The following excerpts are from Outdoor Life’s ‘The Best Spotting Scopes of 2022’ article.

“A product-line extension following Meopta’s successful angled MeoStar S2, this 82mm spotter has the optical horsepower for just about any hunting situation, and the straight-barrel design makes it easy to slide into a backpack sleeve. Read more

Wixom, MI – Trijicon® Inc., the global provider of innovative aiming solutions for the hunting, shooting, military, and law enforcement markets, introduces the Trijicon Dual Defense™ Kit. The Dual Defense Kit combines the legendary RMR® Type 2 Adjustable LED optic with the industry leading Bright & Tough™ Night Sight set into one, easy-to-use kit. Once installed, the two units work in conjunction to enhance shooting speed and precision for self-defense, law enforcement, military, competition, or target pistol shooters.

The Dual Defense Kit is now shipping exclusively to independent local Trijicon dealers for the most popular GLOCK® and SIG Sauer® optics-ready handguns, providing users with a one-stop solution for fully outfitting their pistol with the best aiming solutions available.

Bright & Tough Suppressor Height night sights are engineered to the optimal height so the iron sight can be seen through the RMR’s lens.

Tritium phosphor lamps instantly provide a visible sight picture in no-light and low-light situations. The Bright & Tough Night Sights with white-painted rings around the lamps enhance a user’s ability to obtain a sight picture in bright-light shooting situations, while the black-painted rings option offers a minimalist view for enhanced red dot focus.

Fort Worth, TX – iRayUSA, a Texas-based designer, manufacturer, and distributor of premium thermal night vision devices, is proud to announce a line extension of the popular ZOOM Series with the addition of the ZH50. InfiRay Outdoor’s latest offering, the ZOOM ZH50, brings exciting innovation to the commercial thermal market; 4X variable optical zoom lens, an algorithm based shutterless non-uniformity correction feature and a 20X magnification eyepiece with full HD 1440×1080 resolution AMOLED display.

The ZH50 features InfiRay’s patented dual-field-of-view design allowing users to seamlessly switch between a wide field of view (FOV) for detection, and a narrow FOV for target identification. The ZH50 transitions optically from a base 2X magnification to 4X with an intuitive twist of the objective focus ring and maintains 100 percent of the sensor’s native 640×512 resolution.

The ZOOM Series offers a software based non-uniformity correction (NUC) feature.
