FLIPPIN, ARK. – Inshore anglers living near the coast have the best of both worlds: redfish and specks nearby, plus the option to pursue bass and other freshwater species when the bite is hot. With a wealth of prime fishing waters within reach, these anglers need a versatile, performance-oriented rig that can withstand the rigors of inshore saltwater angling and still deliver the features necessary to be a bona fide freshwater craft.
The new Ranger Aluminum RP190 measures 18 feet, 8 inches in length and is rated for 115 horsepower. Available with a wide range of factory-rigged outboards, the center-console design boasts a 96-inch beam and features a foam-filled hull and wood-free construction to ensure a quiet, stable boat with absolute fishability in skinny backcountry waters or open bays.

BEAVERTON, Ore. — Leupold & Stevens, Inc., introduces new S1 and S5 screw on dials, easily installed adjustment knobs that make dialing in wind and distance fast and easy.
Designed to replace the cap covers on the majority of Leupold’s riflescopes, these all-aluminum dials offer large, knurled surfaces so adjustments are easy and sure, even when wearing gloves. The S1 dial is engraved in ¼-MOA increments and the S5 in 0.1 MIL. Both come with a locking zero stop and can be equipped with the Custom Dial System® (CDS®) through the Leupold® Custom Shop.
There’s no need to send in the riflescope, as these dials are completely user-changeable. Just remove the cap on the adjustment dial, and simply screw the S1 or S5 on in its place. It automatically aligns with the adjustment slot and securely tightens down. Unlike other aftermarket dials, the Leupold S1 and S5 dials completely eliminate backlash. Read more

(MANSFIELD, TEXAS) – Sightmark is proud to release the new 3x Tactical Magnifier Pro, offering versatility by increasing the magnification of accompanying sights for greater range and improved target acquisition. In one swift motion, the new flip mount design makes it fast and easy for shooters to increase their magnification for accompanying sights, creating a greater engagement range in any situation.

When you’re after game, especially the kind that wears giant antlers on its head, you’d better be able to get close and remain undetected. To be an effective predator, you need Ameristep’s new Carnivore Hunter blind.
Prey species like whitetails are built to detect predators, so the Carnivore Hunter has features to help you beat their defense systems.
The blind starts with Realtree’s newest and most effective camouflage pattern, Xtra®, printed on Ameristep’s Durashell RuggedShield HD fabric. It is custom woven with dull finish to prevent glare and is Ameristep’s most durable, abrasion- and wear-resistant shell material. In addition, the patented Edge ReLeaf 3-D system breaks up solid outlines and helps the blind blend in to any woods setting.

Nikon Sport Optics is pleased to announce the release of the all-new PROSTAFF 7 Riflescope series. This new riflescope is a dream come true for hunters who’ve been looking for a high quality, do-it-all scope that they can pair with a rifle and use reliably year after year.
Because the PROSTAFF 7 riflescope has a 30mm main body tube, it provides a wider maximum internal adjustment range (90-140 MOA depending on model), which is useful for dialing in the elevation and windage adjustments needed for long-range shots. The PROSTAFF 7 sports Nikon’s Spring-Loaded Instant Zero-Reset Turrets that allow the user to return the turrets to the zero mark after sighting in, so that subsequent adjustments are simpler.
Whether the situation calls for a long-range shot or a close-range shot, the PROSTAFF 7 has you covered, thanks to a 4-time zoom ratio on all models. Each magnification is offered with either a Nikoplex or BDC reticle. The BDC reticle utilizes a unique set of circles as aiming points for various ranges and is most effective when used with Nikon’s Spot On Ballistic Match Technology.
