Overland Park, KS — The Elite 6500 series are the world’s most versatile riflescopes, featuring a 6.5x magnification range (1:6.5 ratio from low to high power), the widest in the industry. These scopes are ideal for hunters who want a scope they can use in the brush as well as the wide-open prairie, from Georgia pine forests to the high peaks of the Rockies.

Push/pull turrets with resettable zero make sighting-in easier than ever. The extended range of windage and elevation travel (60 inches on the 2.5-16x models), with .25 moa quick adjust clicks, make this scope a “must have” for the hunter who shoots a broad range of game and distances. All models have a one-piece, 30mm tube to deliver plenty of light for those perfect shots right before legal shooting ends, and up to four inches of eye relief and a finer Multi-X reticle (Mil Dot versions of each model are also available) to accommodate any shooter.

There are three new Elite 6500 riflescopes — 2.5-16×42mm, 2.5-16×50mm and 4.5-30×50mm — and they each have side parallax adjustment. The 2.5x models can be adjusted from 10 yards to infinity and the 4.5 x models adjusts from 25 yards to infinity.

The new 6500 models are the flagship scopes of Bushnell’s Elite line, with the highest resolution and widest field of view, as well as fully multi-coated optics with RainGuard®, ensuring a consistently sharp, clear view even in the worst conditions.

All Elite series riflescopes are covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Suggested retail prices are: 2.5-16×42mm - $699; 2.5-16×50mm - $779; and 4.5-30×50mm - $899. They will be available at Bushnell dealers nationwide beginning in March 2008.

Memphis, Michigan - G5 Outdoors, a premium manufacturer of archery equipment, has expanded its popular line of Optix sights with the introduction of the OPTIX XR. The 3 fixed pin plus 1 floating pin sight allows the hunter to dial his distance to the exact yard in a matter of seconds. This eliminates the guesswork when shooting extended ranges -delivering optimum precision in the field.

The Optix XR’s floating pin is assembled under tension removing all possible noise and vibration. Hunters can purchase the Optix XR in either right handed or left handed models and have the option of .019″ or .029″ pin size.

Using patented Smart Pin™ Technology, the Optix XR allows the hunter to precisely adjust each individual pin without the pin ever deviating from the centerline of sight. The sight also includes G5’s 3X micro adjustments for windage, elevation and individual pin adjustment.

All G5™ Optix™ sights are constructed using magnesium alloy, making the sights 32% lighter than their aluminum counterparts while retaining equal strength.

“If a hunter’s target is past 50 yards, he no longer has to gap shoot or guess an approximate pin hold-over,” commented G5 Outdoors Brand Manager, Garret Armstrong. “Our customers are in a class of their own, and deserve this type of floating pin accuracy in the field.”

The Optix XR Sight comes standard with G5 Outdoors’ new 8-position Rheostat LED light, harmonic damper and is available in Realtree AP camouflage.

Konus’ long-anticipated KonusPro M-30 Series of riflescopes for professional and tactical use has finally arrived. Fully loaded with more features than any other scope in its category, the KonusPro M-30 Series is designed for power and precision and is the ideal line of long range scopes built for hunting, military use, law enforcement and bench rest/target shooting. The product line, which consists of three beefy 30mm riflescopes - a 4.5-16×40mm (MRSP $529.95), a 6.5-25×44mm (MRSP $579.95) and an 8.5-32×52mm (MRSP $629.95) - is available immediately to members of the press for testing and will be unveiled to the public at SHOT Show in January 2008.

“You really have to see it to believe it,” said Mark Shore, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Konus USA. “The M-30 line is truly ‘fully loaded’. Boasting 30mm tubes, lockable tactical turrets, 1/8 minute audible tactical adjustments, a lockable fast focus eyeball, greater windage & elevation, and greater resolution - just to name a few - the M-30 series offers the ultimate in precision for the professional market. Never before has there been such a feature-packed line of professional scopes on the market.”

With the KonusPro M-30 Series, Konus introduces its new Illuminated Blue Reticle, which can be seen easily against any other color and is softer on the eye than red or green reticles. The blue reticle is so gentle that the shooter’s night vision will not be compromised.
Like all KonusPro riflescopes, the new M-30 series is designed with a glass engraved reticle system in which the reticle is laser-etched onto precision glass rather than using a thin wire. This eliminates the chances of breaking or becoming misaligned, as is the case with other scopes.
