  • Exclusive New OPMOD EOTech Sights and Magnifiers are Now On Sale

    Aug 31 • News • 18152

    I know you’ve been waiting. We’ve had the presale for the latest offerings from our OPMOD line going for a while now, but the wait if finally over. The L-3 EOTech OPMOD MPO III and the L-3 EOTech OPMOD MPO II are now available at OpticsPlanet.net!

    OPMOD (OpticsPlanet MODification) is our exclusive line of products that are made with our customers in mind. Our in-house product specialists are hunting and shooting enthusiasts, and they felt there was a need for a few modifications to L-3 EOTech’s already outstanding Holographic Weapon Sights. Working alongside L-3 EOTech’s engineers, our specialists made a few changes to improve the value and function of one of EOTech’s most popular gun sights.

    The OPMOD MPO III was designed to be shot with both eyes open, allowing for extremely fast target acquisition, and it is a favorite of hunters and soldiers for in your face shooting. This holographic weapon sight is parallax free, so any time you see the reticle on your target your shot is a sure hit. The low energy needs of the red dot sight help the battery last for about 600 hours. And you don’t need to worry about rail space, as the sight only takes up 2 ¾ inches.

    The OPMOD MPO II takes all the great features and functionality of the MPO-III and adds night vision compatibility. With a single simple button press the reticle dims so that it doesn’t overwhelm night vision.

    We saw all the awesome aspects of these two OPMOD weapon sights and we thought we could give you even more, so we added a G23 3x Magnifier to the package. The flip to side mounted magnifier adds mid-range functionality to the holographic weapon sight.

    OpticsPlanet is all about taking care of our customers. We work to bring you the best possible products, even if they haven’t been developed yet. If our customers need something and no one makes what they’re looking for, or it’s too expensive, we’ll do our best to make sure it comes to OpticsPlanet.net.

    Take a look at the new L-3 EOTech OPMOD Holographic Weapon Sights. Your shooting will be better because you did.

  • Gun Safety Items are now on Sale! Gun Safes, Concealed Holsters and More!

    Aug 31 • News • 5916

    On July 1, 2011 Governor Walker signed a bill that allows gun owners over the age of 21 who have no felonies on their record to carry a concealed firearm. In honor of the passage of the Wisconsin Concealed Carry law OpticsPlanet is running a ‘Save on Safety’ Sales Event! November 1 is the first day applications are accepted for a concealed carry license, so fill up on all your gun safety needs now so that you’re ready.

    When you’re not carrying your firearm, keep it from falling into the wrong hands with a gun case or gun safe. The Barska Compact Biometric Gun Safe is small enough to be kept out of sight, but still accessible to the owner. And you needn’t worry about remembering combinations or having the key, because your finger acts as the key. The state of the art fingerprint technology in the locking mechanism means you alone can access the gun.

    Sometimes it’s the attachments that keep you safe. Under duress, even seasoned pros will lose accuracy, which makes them less capable of defending themselves and more likely to injure an innocent bystander. Improve your shooting accuracy with a laser sight, such as the LaserMax Guide Rod Laser Sights for SiGARMS Pistols. The LaserMax Guide Rod Laser is the world’s only completely internal laser sight. Since all the parts are housed in the pistol’s guide system it has extraordinary durability, and they’re easy to install!

    Of course, the number one thing to focus on with our new promotion is holsters. The Fobus Ankle Holster for Ruger LCP has fantastic retention and it’s comfortable, so you don’t need to worry about your firearm when you choose to carry it concealed. If you would rather use a shoulder holster, check out the BLACKHAWK Concealed Shoulder Holster. It will fit most standard automatic weapons, and the Talon-flex insert stiffens the body for a fast draw and reholster. And it’s no problem when you want to adapt the BLACKHAWK holster to hold magazines.

    We have a lot more concealed carry holster options, with something for almost every firearm. Check out our promotion page and watch featured videos of our experts discussing their favority holsters and how to properly break in a leather holster. And make sure stock up before you get your license this November!

  • Streamlight LiteBox Flashlights – Super Bright and Long Battery Life!

    Aug 22 • News • 4380

    Everyone needs a well constructed, durable flashlight. I know we have a ton of options available from Streamlight, from smaller flashlights that would fit in your pocket, such as the Streamlight Key-Mate Keychain Flashlight, and others that mount on a firearm, such as the Streamlight TLR-2 Tactical Light, but of all the great flashlights by Streamlight the LiteBox is one of the best.

    The Streamlight LiteBox was designed for awesome performance. The battery life is outstanding, as some flashlights have a running time of up to 9 hours! But don’t worry about sacrificing brightness or beam intensity just because it runs for a long time, because LiteBox flashlights are bright. Really bright. The H.I.D. LiteBox Searchlight, for example, produces 3350 lumens and has a peak beam power of 1,000,000 candlepower. That should be more than enough light for any task you need to perform.
    LiteBox Flashlights can be set down and directed to give you hands free performance, which is important for those who work in the demanding construction or engineering industries.
    Many professionals need a good flashlight for safety purposes, and it’s the rugged quality and performance of Streamlight LiteBoxes that keep the pros coming back again and again. These tough flashlights will withstand heat, impact and water submersion and keep running at peak intensity. They’re hard to beat, and we carry a full line here at OpticsPlanet.

  • Check out these New Camera Accessories from Kata and Datacolor

    Aug 19 • News • 3989

    Whether you prefer the latest technological advancements in digital cameras or the classic style and features of a film camera, you’re going to need some accessories in order to get the best image quality and to protect your equipment.
    The first thing you want to get after purchasing a new camera is a good camera case. No matter how skilled a photographer you are it won’t matter if your equipment is ruined before you get to snap a single shot.
    We just added a few new camera case options from Kata. First up is the Kata Bug-203 Pro-Light Camera Backpack. The Bug-203 is big enough to accommodate a Pro DSLR with a 300mm lens attached, with room for extra lenses, a flash, and other accessories. And since it’s designed for a digital camera, you can also take your laptop along, so when you get that perfect shot you can upload it to the net or email it out right away. The main compartment can be arranged per your specifications using included Aeriform Dividers, protecting each piece of equipment from banging together. A foam covered steel spine protects the case from being crushed, and the elements cover will give you added protection from extreme weather conditions. Keep everything you need at hand and safe with the Kata Bug-203.
    But maybe you’re looking for something a little more manageable. The Kata Select-18 Ultra Light Camera Holster weighs less than a pound at its lightest, and even with all the included accessories attached it still weighs in at less than one and a half pounds. Like the Kata Bug, the Select-18 features a foam covered steel spine for structural protection, individual parts are protected from one another by Aeriform foam dividers, and an elements cover is included to protect against rain and snow. I know a lot of you photographers like to go hiking or climbing to get a unique shot. The lightweight and sleek design of the Select-18 won’t prevent you from getting up that last hill or mountain.
    Once you get where you’re going and your camera has been kept safe with a Kata case, you’re going to want to take the best possible picture. One of the most important factors in capturing high quality images is adjusting for different light. You’ll need to calibrate for the differences in color so that your images look as good as the one seen by your eyes. Fortunately, we have some great new options from Datacolor. The Datacolor SpyderCheckr Color Calibration System has 48 spectrally engineered color patches that will never fade and reflect light in a realistic way, giving you the best sample to calibrate your colors to. The included software makes it easy to make adjustments. There are samples for everyday objects like grass, a blue sky, and various skin tones.
    Calibrating blacks, whites and grays is also made simple by Datacolor with the SpyderCube. Rather than a set of cards, the SpyderCube is, as its name implies, a cube, and it’s made of ABS Cycoloy, which is a hybrid resin that will not fade and is extremely durable. One picture with the SpyderCube and you have a perfect reference for the rest of your shots!
    We do our best to take care of all your needs here at OpticsPlanet. Whether you want to hunt, gaze upon the stars or take some high quality photographs, we have you covered. These new camera accessory options from Kata and Datacolor will keep you camera safe, secure, and performing at optimal levels.
