Manassas, Virginia – Aimpoint, the originator and worldwide leader in reflex sighting technology, has been awarded a second contract for supply of the Aimpoint® FCS13RE Fire Control Systems to the U.S. Military. The system is currently being deployed as the primary Fire Control on the M3E1 MAAWS lightweight 84mm Carl-Gustaf produced by SAAB Dynamics for use by the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Special Operations Command.

The FCS13RE is a direct view, Dynamic Universal Reflex Sight (DURS) which utilizes an integrated laser range finder and ballistic computer to give the gunner an aiming point corrected for range, type of munition, terrain angle, and environmental conditions. In addition to the 84mm Carl-Gustaf, the system can also be utilized on other weapons including the AT4, 40mm high velocity grenade launchers (Mk19), .50 caliber heavy machine guns (M2), and the M134D Minigun. The FCS13RE provides an extremely high probability of first round hits on both stationary and moving targets during day and night. The system can be enhanced with a magnifier, a thermal imager, and is compatible with all generations of military night vision. Read more

Simple to Use Scope & Reticle Leveling Tool

Real Avid, the Leader in DIY for Guns®, introduces a simple to use, highly accurate system to ensure proper scope reticle alignment to a rifle’s bore axis. Called the Level-Right PRO, this system provides the essential reticle alignment needed for predictable point-of-impact when exceeding a rifle’s zeroed distance.

As experienced hunters and long-range competition shooters know, a scope’s reticle must be perfectly aligned with the rifle barrel bore’s axis to prevent left- or right-drift of the bullet’s point-of-impact when shooting past the zeroed distance. Scopes that are not properly aligned with the barrel will exhibit point-of-impact drift that increases with the shooting distance. In the past, cumbersome procedures and multiple bubble levels were required to achieve reticle alignment. Now, the revolutionary Level-Right PRO makes the process simple enough that anyone can install their scope the right way at their home workbench. Read more

Always On! Always Ready!

Late last year Sig Sauer introduced the Sig 365 SAS (Sig-Anti-Snag). One of the unique features to make it snag-proof is the low profile Meprolight FT Bullseye ™ sight. Gun sales have maintained their record pace over the past few months and the Sig 365 SAS remains a top seller. Independent reviews regarding the 365 SAS with the FT Bullseye have been positive:

“Instead of traditional iron sights, Sig took a Meprolight Bullseye sight and melted’ it down into the slide. Again, we’d like to re-emphasize how gimmicky we thought the sight was. We’d also like to point out how wrong we were. How much did we love it? I’m looking to have the Meprolight Bullseye mounted on other firearms.” (Ryan Cleckner, gununiversity.com, 2.7.2020)

“Finally, let’s talk about the FT Bullseye Sights. Besides the obvious cool factor, the real assessment centers around their functionality. Do they actually work? While I’ve only put 100-rounds down range, I can say that sight acquisition is quick and painless. These are possibly the easiest sights to pick up. If you have an astigmatism, as I do, then you may want to check out the SAS for this reason alone.” (Seth Rogers, guns.com, 11.27.19) Read more
