Leupold’s New VX “1″
Leupold have announced that they will be introducing a new VX 1 this year. The Roman numeral has gone and a simple “1” will be the new designation. The great thing about the new scope is that it includes new features without addition to the price tag (at least in the US). Finger click adjustments [...]
Chinese Glass
They’ve been around for a while now, those cheap telescopic sights made in China. Most seem to pass them off as something that will not last. Certainly some may be less than acceptable for average shooting conditions but I suggest that the quality wheel is slowly turning. I must confess that this was my initial [...]
Leupolds VX-R Series
Earlier this year Leupold introduced their new VX-R Series of scopes. The VX-R users a unique reticle which combines state of the art illumination technology combined with their firedot reticle. The reticles real advantage is in low light hunting situations and is activated by Motion Sensor Technology. Basically it comes on when the rifle [...]
The Bushnell TRS-25 Ultra Compact Red Dot Scope Review.
The Bushnell TRS-25 1x25mm red dot scope is of compact design and a solid piece of equipment especially when you need to acquire your target fast and at close range. It is designed for a Weaver/Picatinny rail though you can get an adaptor for the standard 3/8” dovetail. The TRS-25 can be put on almost [...]
Leupold VX-1 3-9x40mm Review
The Leupold VX-1 3-9x40mm is undoubtedly one of Leupold’s most popular scopes. Yet I haven’t seen a review on one for a long time. So considering I have had a couple VX-1’s in my time I thought we should take a closer look at what many people’s first model of Leupold scope will be. Things [...]
The VX-R & VX-R Hog Illuminated Scopes from Leupold.
The new VX-R scopes from Leupold are a new illuminated reticle rifle scope which are equivalent in quality to the Leupold VX II scopes. Before now you could only get illuminated reticles in the VX III or Mark IV scopes so this significantly lowers the price on an illuminated Leupold scope. All VX-R scopes have a [...]
Redfield Revolution 3-9x40mm Review
First Impressions Given Redfield’s recent re-emergence on the market and the design and purpose of the scope I was neither disappointed nor overjoyed when first laying eyes on the new Redfield. It has everything where it needs to be and nothing it doesn’t. Finished in a matte black, it carries one Redfield logo near the [...]
Leupold’s RX-1000 Compact Digital Laser Rangefinder
First impressions. When first unpacking the unit the first thing you notice is its diminutive size and weight. At less than 10cm long and 7cm wide the unit is large enough not to get lost and hold steadily, however it fits comfortable in a jacket pocket. At 221 grams it goes almost unnoticed in a [...]
Pentax’s Ultimate Zoom Hunting Scope.
Pentax released the Ultimate Zoom, a hunting scope that has no adjustable power ring but an electric motor that controls the power of the 3-15x50mm scope. Instead of the power ring it has a remote switch for controlling the power of the hunting scope. I really am failing to see the benefit of this over [...]
Millet TRS 4-16×50 Rifle Scope Review.
A mate picked up this scope recently and asked me to fit it to his Ruger M77 rifle in 7mm Remington Magnum. This gave me a good opportunity to have a close inspection of this rifle scope and run it through its paces.
