TRUGLO Range-Rover Pro Duo

Now Available as Aperture-Only Model for an Easy Upgrade

In 2018, TRUGLO, Inc. launched the Archer’ Choice RANGE•ROVER™ PRO DUO, a two-dot LED system based on the popular RANGE•ROVER PRO. The DUO model retains all the features of the original RANGE•ROVER PRO, while adding an additional red LED inside of the lens. This additional aiming reference allows long range shooters to accurately shoot beyond the range of the calibrated tape. The red dot also provides a helpful reference at shorter, more common hunting distances; when the green dot is set to 20-yards, the red dot approximates a 50-yard point of aim for most hunting set-ups. This reference helps archers estimate additional hold when needed – even at full draw. Read more

Silent Legion Introduces the Brand New SL-AK

Oak Ridge, NC (March 29, 2019) – The Silent Legion team is always working to design and build out suppressors for new platforms. Each new model is made to fit a growing demand for suppressors in recreational and tactical shooting communities. The wide array of firearm platforms, however, means that each model must be built specifically to fit and function on each platform.

The all-new SL-AK fits one of the most common firearm platforms in the world. The 7.62x39mm fits the AK-47, making it a valuable asset for the mass-produced firearm. The Bi-Lock Quick Detach mounting system offers one of the most effective QD systems in production. You can attach or detach the suppressor in a matter of seconds. The AK-47 is often used as a tactical firearm. The ability to not only shoot suppressed but to set up without delay gives the shooter a major advantage.

The SL-AK reduces sound by a significant amount at 32 dB of total reduction. The 7.75″ length and 1.5″ diameter is a natural extension of the barrel that does not affect the normal shooting stance or grip. At only 17 oz., shooters can still pivot and shoot unaffected by the weight. Read more
