AccuScope Takes the Guesswork Out of Sighting Your Scope

Apr 8 • News • 6017

“AccuScope is ‘MOA made simple’–

the only thing you need to know

is your scope’s MOA number.”

Every shooter has been there: adjusting his rifle scope a quarter of an inch this way, another eighth of an inch that, essentially using guesswork trying to get the shot lined up just right. It’s a frustrating and time-consuming dance.

Imagine a tool that could save you gobs of wasted time, ammunition, and needless confusion… Well fortunately you don’t have to imagine any longer– AccuScope has now made those fancies a reality! By developing a system based on often complicated MOA mathematical concepts and taking the work out of sighting, the AccuScope slide chart greatly simplifies the process of accurately sighting your scope, dramatically reducing time and eliminating unnecessary expense. Simply put, the AccuScope sighting slide chart is “MOA made simple”– the only thing you have to know is your riflescope‘s MOA number.

Two versions of the AccuScope sighting chart are available: the 1/4 and 1/2 MOA chart for the most common scopes, and an 1/8 MOA chart for precision riflescopes that are increasing in popularity. Using your scope‘s MOA, shooting distance in yards, pre-gathered elevation and windage off-center distances, AccuScope automatically determines the number of elevation and windage adjustment dial clicks needed to accurately sight your scope for a dead-on shot.

With both its outer-jacket and sliding insert card constructed of heavy-duty, riveted card-stock and laminated weather-resistant plastic film, AccuScope is built for years of dependable use in the field or on the range. AccuScope can be used with muzzleloaders, shotguns, pistols, or rifles, and with a price that could barely pay for lunch, never has such a minor investment provided such long-lasting, cost and time-saving benefits.

One Scope, Endless Possibilities: The Bushnell Elite 6500 Riflescope

Mar 31 • News • 4594

In the hunting optics of yesterday, it used to be different scopes for different folks: close-range brush hunters called for one kind of riflescope, while open prarie long-range hunters called for another. But that was yesterday. Today, thanks to Bushnell, there is a scope that does it all.

.

The Bushnell Elite series‘s flagship riflescope, the Bushnell Elite 6500, is quite literally the most powerful scope on Earth. With an unheard of 6.5x magnification, the Elite 6500 series is easily the widest ranging and most versatile rifle scope in the industry. Bushnell has spared nothing on this one; this Elite 6500 riflescope boasts a whopping 2.5-16x and 4.5-30x in zoom power, giving the sportsman the ability to use a single scope for jump shooting big game to zeroing in the longest shots on the smallest of targets. No other riflescope has this kind of range, light transmission, and all-weather clarity.

The Bushnell 6500 features super-premium fully multi-coated optics for the brightest, sharpest images possible. Bushnell has also sealed this puppy with its exclusive, patented Rainguard coating, and guarantees that it’s 100% waterproof, fogproof, and even shockproof. This Bushnell riflescope also features side-parallax adjustment, 3.5 inches of eye relief, top-quality manufacturing, and dry-nitrogen filled precision optics housed in a 30mm one-piece hammer-forged tube with a Bushnell Elite Bullet-Proof Warranty. Riflescopes just don’t get any better than this.

.

The Bushnell Elite 6500 is superior quality at an affordable price– easily comparable to any other riflescope in its price range. Two of the ultimately six-scope 6500 series are available now (the Elite 6500 2.5-16×42 and the Elite 6500 2.5-16×50), with the remaining four being introduced later this year.

.

For the sportsman who hunts a broad range of game at greatly varying distances, your day has come; the Bushnell Elite 6500— one scope, endless possibilities.

By Land or Sea: Omega Aquatics Amphibian Fins are a Diver’s Dream

Mar 20 • News • 5476

It’s one of those things that makes you wonder, “Wow, why didn’t someone think of this sooner?” I’m talking about Omega Aquatics revolutionary– and yet revolutionarily common-sense– new Amphibian dynamic diving fins. The Amphibian “flip fins” are designed to be put on before entering the water, and make walking and climbing boat ladders as easy as doing it finless! It’s all about the Aqua-Hinge mechanism: heavy duty springs push the soft blade webbing up to ride gently against the shin while strutting mammalian style, then once in the water the Amphibian diving fins kick in, literally: naturally kicking feet in the water pushes the fin down and locks it into swimming position. Pushing on the release lever upon exiting the water flips the fins back up.

.

Don’t mistake Amphibian scuba fins for being just another clever creation– these flippers are much more. The Amphibian is a high-performance scuba fin that combines power and safety that no other fin can match. Featuring a central web configuration, Amphibian Dynamic Scuba Fins increase propulsion and reduce load required for sustained kicking. Slippery rocks are no match for the Amphibian; the strong rubber grippers on the soles of these versatile fins ensure your stability. Trainers’ jobs become infinitely easier, and rescue and military operations are made immeasurably safer and more efficient, making these flippers the favorite of pros and recreational divers alike.

.

If you enjoy looking like a big doofus as you trek across the beach in bungling 4-foot strides, sending sand flying everywhere and entertaining the youngsters, then by all means, you should pass on these Dynamic Scuba Fins and stick with your good old fashioned duck fins. If, on the other hand, you’re tired of tripping over your flippers and clumsily struggling to get in and out of the water, then swim on over to OpticsPlanet and check out Amphibian flippers and all the other great offerings from Omega Aquatics!

.

Be stylin’ in your wetsuit!

Amphibian Dynamic Scuba Fins are available in blue, black, yellow, and orange for color-coordinated flipper fashion!

Fin sizes are large and X-large; medium-sized inserts are available for large fins.
