    Jan 26 • News, Videos • 3204

    The Trijicon TARS is an exceptional new sight coming out this June.  Steve got to shoot with it a bit on Media Day, but Trevor talks with Trijicon‘s Myles Waterman in this SHOT Show Trijicon Video Interview and gets a few more details on the new scope.

    The Tactical Advanced Rifle Scope has a big 34mm tube with 150 MOA elevation adjustments, which is pretty massive, so you’ll have a lot of room to use this scope in the field.  It has a versatile 3-15x magnification, so between the incredible ability to adjust, the wide range of magnification and the solid construction the Trijicon TARS Rifle Scope is perfect for hunters of all skill levels and for a wide variety of hunting styles.

  • GunVault SpeedSafe from SHOT Show 2012 – A Vertically Mounted Pistol Safe!

    Jan 26 • News, Videos • 4353

    I already wrote about the new GunVault Vertically Mounted Pistol Safes last week in our SHOT Show Day 2 New Product post, but today we have video of these cool new safes in action, and they are even cooler when you get to see how they work!

    The first few safes that Danny Lovio from GunVault shows Trevor are tried and true standards that people love already, with incredible construction and great technology like the biometric fingerprint scanner.  But it’s the GunVault SpeedVault that everyone was talking about at SHOT Show.  With a quick press of a finger the safe pops open at a 45 degree angle, which is perfect for a quick draw when you need it!

    It’s best to see these new gun safes from GunVault in action, so check out the video above and stay tuned to GearExpert for more video interviews from SHOT Show 2012!

  • Nikon Monarch 3 & Monarch 5 Binoculars at SHOT Show 2012!

    Jan 26 • News, Videos • 3913

    As promised, here we have our video interview with Nikon’s Jon LaCorte, who is taking Steve through the many cool features on the latest additions to the Nikon Monarch 3 and Nikon Monarch 5 binoculars series.

    We first got our hands on the Nikon Monarch 3 last fall, and they’ve been a huge success.  Hunters love them for their premiere glass, amazing prisms, quality construction and reasonable price, so it was great to see them at this year’s SHOT Show.

    The other new binocular from Nikon is the Monarch 5.  We just recently added these binoculars to OpticsPlanet, and they are already looking like a favorite for 2012.  The prism transmits 8% more light than the already spectacular prism in the Monarch 3, so you’ll get a really bright image, and they’re also very reasonably priced.

    Both Nikon Binoculars shown off at this year’s SHOT Show are fantastic for hunters, birders and outdoors enthusiasts, and with the exceptional quality behind all Nikon products you can trust them to be perfect for your needs, regardless of what you need to view.

  • Nikon ProStaff 3 & ProStaff 5 Rangefinders Video Interview at SHOT Show!

    Jan 26 • News, Videos • 3873

    We have a lot of SHOT Show Video Interviews coming out today, so I’m going to keep on rolling them out as quick as I can.  Here we have our second interview with Nikon representative Jon LaCorte.  Jon shows Steve two new rangefinders displayed by Nikon at SHOT Show.  Both models are part of the Nikon ProStaff line of products, and will give you quality performance at a great price.

    Watch as Jon first shows off the Nikon Prostaff 3 Rangefinder.  With one button operation, it doesn’t get much easier to operate, and it has a very fast processor for quick range finding.  This is really important when you’re out hunting and finally spot a buck after hours of waiting.  You won’t want to miss that shot because you were waiting for the rangefinder to figure out the distance.  It has a great range of about 550 yards, and the optics are nice and bright, so you’ll have no trouble seeing your intended target.  6x power is just right for finding distance, and the tough construction is both waterproof and fog proof, so you don’t need to worry about it breaking on you when you need it!

    The Nikon ProStaff 5 Rangefinder was even more impressive.  The ProStaff 5 is actually a fair bit smaller than any other Nikon Rangefinder, and as Steve points out, though you may not think about the size very often, it makes a big difference when you’re trying to put it in or take it out of a pocket.  While the overall size of the Nikon ProStaff 5 is smaller, they made the ocular bigger, so you’ll have an easier time seeing your target.  An additional feature that really sets the ProStaff 5 apart is the LED illumination.  This LED can be turned on with a single button press, and your reticle will be illuminated for easier use.  This is especially welcome in the morning or evening, when light is scarce.

    I’ve been really impressed so far with everything Nikon brought to SHOT Show this year.  I’ll have another video interview with Jon LaCorte up soon that talks about the Nikon Monarch 3 and Monarch 5 binoculars, so stay tuned!

  • Trijicon SRS Red Dot Sight & Battery-Powered ACOG – SHOT Show Video!

    Jan 26 • News, Videos • 5589

    We have two new products from Trijicon in this video interview from SHOT Show.  They’re both going to generate a lot of excitement when they come out this summer!

    First up, Trijicon representative Myles Waterman showed Trevor the Trijicon SRS, which stands for Sealed Reflex Sight.  This red dot sight has an amazing battery, a ton of features, and as Myles says, it’s going to be the ACOG of red dot sights!  That’s a tall order, but if any company were to come out with an ACOG quality red dot, it’d be Trijicon!

    While on the topic of ACOG, Trijicon also showed their latest in that fantastic line of sights, the Trijicon Battery Powered ACOG.  Take all the amazing performance of the ACOG, from its perfect blend of magnification and image brightness to its durability and quick target acquisition, and add in battery power for even greater functionality and performance.  The ACOG is already one of, if not THE, most durable weapon sights in the world.  The illuminated reticle is fantastic, and it’ll help you stay on target in almost any situation.  But many users want greater control over the level of illumination, and they want to maintain that level regardless of the ambient light available.  The addition of a battery will give shooters the reticle they want regardless of the light, and what makes it even better is that it uses a AA battery!  And you’ll get about 12,000 hours of light at the most powerful setting!  Holy cow!
