Merger LRF XP35: Compact and Powerful

Premiering at Outdoor Classics 2024, the Merger LRF XP35 is the most compact binocular by Pulsar, featuring the widest field of view in its category and an extremely sensitive thermal sensor. The Merger LRF XP35 is the latest addition to the Merger line of digital thermal binoculars, known for its European quality, ergonomics, and the comfort of observation. As the most compact and lightweight model of the line, it features a staggeringly wide field of view (17.8°). This allows you to comfortably scan vast areas for far greater distances with both eyes without eye fatigue.

The Merger LRF XP35 is equipped with our signature European-made Lynred sensor with NETD <25 mK thermal sensitivity. This guarantees a highly detailed image with superb sharpness and quality even in adverse conditions. The new model comes with a built-in laser rangefinder that measures distances of up to 1,000 yards. With a detection range of up to 1,500 yards, these binoculars enable users to assess environments and find heat signatures quickly and error-free.

Like all models in the Merger line, the Merger LRF XP35 is powered by a dual battery system – one internal and one replaceable – providing up to 9 hours of continuous operation. Read more

NSSF Welcomes Sen. Joni Ernst’s ‘FIREARM’ Act

NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, welcomes the introduction of S. 3812, the Fighting Irrational Regulatory Enforcement to Avert Retailers’ Misfortune (FIREARM) Act, by U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa). Companion legislation, H.R. 7471 under the same name, was introduced by U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.). The “FIREARM” Act would create a safe harbor for federal firearm licensees (FFLs) who are at risk of losing their licenses and livelihoods due to the Biden administration’s “zero-tolerance” policy that has weaponized the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to revoke licenses for minor unintentional clerical errors and mistakes.

“Senator Joni Ernst’s ‘FIREARM’ Act will help restore confidence that ATF will fulfill its mission as a regulatory agency over the manufacture and sale of firearms rather than being used as a political tool by special interests,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “Under the Biden administration, the firearm and ammunition industry has seen the ATF turned into a sledgehammer to carry out this administration’s extreme antigun policies. This damages the cooperative relationships between firearm retailers, who are on the frontline preventing illegal straw purchases of firearms, and the ATF, who enforces laws to safeguard our communities. NSSF is thankful for Senator Ernst’s leadership to provide remedies that repair this necessary public trust in our federal agencies.”

Specifically, the “FIREARM” Act: Read more
