Sector Optics Introduces F1 Rangefinder

San Diego, California – Innovative optics manufacturer, Sector Optics has introduced its first standalone laser rangefinder: the F1 Rangefinder.

Much of the technology within the new F1 Rangefinder was previously integrated into the Sector Optics T2 Thermal Imager/Rangefinder. For 2020, Sector Optics has introduced this laser rangefinding technology in an ergonomic separate product. With a clean, ultra-light shape reminiscent of a small flashlight, the F1 transforms any riflescope into a laser rangefinding riflescope. The easy-to-read display gives you both linear range, as well as horizontal equivalent distances well over 1,000 yards. Through its lightweight design, the F1 Rangefinder does not add unnecessary weight or bulk to a riflescope, nor does it unbalance the rifle. The entire unit is powered by a single CR123 battery.

NSSF Files to Intervene in Federal Lawsuit

Firearms and Ammunition Industry to Oppose Antigun State Attorneys General Effort to Stop Jobs-Creating Rules Going Into Effect

NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearms and ammunition industry, and a small Washington state business filed a motion in the U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington in Seattle to intervene in a lawsuit filed by 23 state attorneys general to block two recently announced rules by the Trump administration. The rules changes would create jobs and reduce onerous and costly regulations on small businesses.

Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson, and 22 other state attorneys general, are suing to halt export reforms due to go into effect March 9 following the final rules moving export licensing of sporting and commercial firearms and ammunition products to the Commerce Department from the State Department. The export reforms were begun during the Obama administration and only recently completed. The attorney’s general complaint centers on claims the technology for 3D printing of firearms would be “de-regulated.” However, their complaint seeks to block the reforms in their entirety. These rules would end punitive registration fees on small businesses that do not export firearms or ammunition products. The motion filed this week asks the court to allow NSSF, as the firearms industry’s trade association, to intervene in the case to defend its members’ interests. Read more
