Alpen Optics Teton Binocular
Alpen Optics’ new Teton binocular series for 2007 offers a top performance instrument in a lightweight yet durable body. The Teton series is designed using the lens system of Alpen’s super-performance Rainier binocular combined with the prism and body system of the popular Apex binocular series. The result is sharp and bright optical performance in a lighter weight, field-tough body. Teton achieves this hybrid performance by featuring BaK4 prisms with Alpen’s exclusive UBX multi-coating, SHR metallic coating, and PXA phase correction coating. The result is a super-bright image that has full color fidelity and sharpness in all viewing conditions. The composite body is covered by durable textured rubber material for shock-resistant viewing enjoyment. Twist-lock eyecups and long eye relief provide viewing when wearing glasses. Teton binocs are fully O-ring sealed and nitrogen filled for waterproof, fog-free viewing in the harshest of outdoor conditions. Visit www.alpenoutdoors.com.
BSA Panther
Series Riflescopes
BSA’s company motto is entry-level pricing for full-featured optics. BSA’s all-weather, all-condition Panther series of scopes offer two all-new models and improved controls and durability. BSA says the Panther series is so good in the water, it might as well be able to swim. Its long, swept-back hood protects the lens from rain, yet doubles as a sunshade when the day turns bright. It has dual O-ring seals in the objective cell, as well as dual O-rings in the longer European-style ocular.
Because it is built into a one-piece aluminum tube, you can be assured that it is waterproof. The exposed windage and elevation turrets have a patent-pending push/pull locking system and are easy to adjust, even if you’re wearing gloves. The Panther has fully multi-coated camera-quality glass lenses. The two new all-weather Panther models are the 3.5-10x50mm and the 6.5-20x44mm with Adjustable Objective. Visit www.bsaguns.co.uk.
Burris 1-4x24mm EuroDiamond LRS
The new Burris 1-4x24mm EuroDiamond adds a Lighted Reticle System (LRS) to this already proven low-mag, quick-aiming 30mm scope. Burris Euro-Diamonds are specially engineered for low-light hunting scenarios, and they have a 4:1 variable magnification range with up to 4 inches of eye relief. Welcome ergonomic features include finger-adjustable, resettable, easy-to-see adjustment dials and deep relief grooves on the power ring.
The easy-to-view, non-slip power ring is integrated with the eyepiece, which features European-style internal focusing with an easy-to-grip rubber adjusting ring. For the illuminated models, a new third-generation digital illumination controller replaces the analog switch for additional dependability, more reliable sealing, automatic time-delayed shutoff to conserve battery power, and pulse-width modulation circuitry to triple battery life. A variety of reticles are available. Visit www.burrisoptics.com.
Bushnell Elite 4200 Compact 6-24X40mm
Side Focus
Bushnell’s new compact version of its 6-24x40 Elite 4200 has side parallax adjustment, so that hunters can now adjust for parallax focus using a knob that is opposite the windage cap while maintaining their sight picture. Ranges are indicated on the adjustment knob, where they can be read by a right-hander’s off eye without moving his sighting eye from the scope. The scope is much shorter than a standard 6-24x40 with an adjustable objective; in fact, it is almost exactly the size of a conventional 3x9 scope. This give you 6-24x premium high-mag scope that’s appropriate for use on a compact rifle. This new Elite riflescope also features a Mil-Dot reticle, calibrated so that at 12X magnification, each dot will be 3.6 inches apart (or one mil) at 100 yards, 7.2 inches apart at 200 yards, and so on.
