• Steiner 8×30 Safari Pro Compact Binoculars – Great Gift!

    Nov 26 • News • 3047


    You probably know someone who hunts, who is a birder, who hikes or camps, or who travels. If you’re like the average person, you probably have no idea what to get them this holiday season. Don’t worry, that’s natural. So let me toss a suggestion out to you:

    The Steiner 8×30 Safari Pro Compact Binoculars.

    At under $200, these Steiner Binoculars are incredibly affordable while still bearing the incredible quality that all Steiner Optiks products have. If you are looking for Birding Binoculars, the glare and UV blocking coating will come in handy, along with the wrap-around eyecups for blocking any light from coming in the peripheral. If you are looking for Hunting Binoculars or Hiking Binoculars, these Steiner 8×30 Safari Pro Binoculars are compact, and weigh only 18 ounces (no need to add too much weight to your kit!)

    Steiner Optics has built these binoculars with the convenient Steiner Sports Auto-Focus so once you set the focus for your eyes, these binoculars will automatically focus in on your subject from 20 yards to infinity. It is not surprising how handy that is when you are scanning across a horizon, taking in all that you can view. And the fixed 8x magnification is just enough to have the power you want to see far into the distance, without the limiting field of view that higher power magnification typically carries. At 1000 yards the Steiner 8×30 Safari Pro Compact Binoculars has a field of view (f.o.v.) of 360 feet (that’s 120 yards!) Can’t argue with that!

    I think it’s clear. The Steiner Safari Pro 8x30mm Compact Binos make an excellent gift this holiday season for that birder, hunter, hiker, camper, traveler, or just really awesome person on your list. For a gift under $200, it’s a can’t-beat deal on such an excellent pair of Steiner Safari Pro Binoculars. With that said – be sure to check out our Unique Christmas Gift Guide! And stop by Optics Planet for all the deals and offers every day this holiday season, and give out the best gifts this year!

  • Blackhawk CQC SERPA Holster – Bring on the Brilliance

    Nov 24 • News • 3170

    What are the attributes you look for in an award winning holster? Should it be versatile, rugged, innovative, or comfortable? Well how about all of the above. These characteristics are becoming of the Brilliance Award recipient for the Best Value Holster Line, the Blackhawk CQC SERPA Holster. When the only thing that stands between you and chaos is your gun, you know you need the fastest draw available on the market. However, with other fast-draw holsters, you will often run into a loose fit which can be both dangerous and counter productive. Well, not with the Blackhawk Serpa Holster which has a patented technology that offers teh fastest draw in combination with utmost security.

    The secret is the trigger guard-engaging latch which secures your firearm upon holstering. As you unsheath it, the release mechanism is located exactly where your index finger naturally lands when reaching for the firearm. The release is fast, smooth, and hardly noticeable at all. Don’t bother with holsters that require excessive dexterity with your middle or ring finger. This holster from Blackhawk Tactical allows for super easy unholstering and holstering with only one hand and no futzing around.

    With a low profile, the Blackhawk CQC maintains a very low profile and minimum weight and bulk making it a prime candidate for one of the best concealed carry holsters available this side of the Nile. If durability is your concern then concern yourself with something else because Blackhawk did not design this holster to be used just once. These Blackhawk holsters are made from some of the most rugged yet lightest carbon fiber materials.

    This Brilliance Award winning holster and other Blackhawk holsters are available at Optics Planet this holiday season. Optics Planet is a national leader is tactical gear and shooting accessories such as holsters.
