Tasco World
Class Riflescopes
Tasco World Class riflescopes are famous for delivering high-performance optics and advanced features at a price any serious hunter can afford. With Tasco’s SuperCon multi-layered coating on the objective and ocular lenses and fully coated optics, World Class scopes deliver more light when light is scarce for the brightest, clearest image possible. With models featuring either ProShot, 30/30 or True Mil-Dot reticles, World Class riflescopes deliver the same performance and features as scopes costing much more. Rugged and dependable, these 100 percent waterproof, fogproof and shockproof scopes are built with Advanced Monotube Construction and carry a limited lifetime warranty. Eleven different variable-power models are available, from 1.4-4X to 4-16X magnification, in black or stainless finish, including illuminated-reticle versions. Visit www.tasco.com.
Trijicon AccuPoint Riflescopes
The Trijicon “AccuPoint” riflescope line is unique. It is completely non-electronic and uses no batteries, yet provides two completely independent and separate sources of reticle illumination, with adjustable brightness that is as useful and visible in bright sunlight as in late evening. The illuminated portion of the reticle is a small, sharp triangle, available in either red or amber, that sits atop a non-illuminated black post. At night or in extreme low-light conditions, the reticle’s illumination is supported by a special self-powered glow-in-the-dark tritium lamp (guaranteed for up to 15 years), and in daytime light conditions the reticle is powered by an adjustable fiber-optic system that concentrates and “feeds” light into the reticle to make it highly visible against any type of background under virtually any conditions. This is particularly useful in thicketed situations, where conventional black “daylight” reticles can become obscured or confused against the target background. Visit www.trijicon.com.
TruGlo 4x32mm Compact Rimfire And Shotgun Scopes
TruGlo’s new 4x32mm Compact Rimfire and Shotgun scope line offers great utility at an economical price. Three versions are available, including black finish or camo, and choice of duplex or Diamond Shotgun reticles (for turkeys or deer). The duplex versions include rings for .22 and air rifles, and the shotgun versions (black or camo) include Weaver-style rings. All are waterproof/fogproof and shock-resistant, with generous 4-inch eye relief. Other features include fully coated lenses for maximum brightness, clarity and contrast, and a rubber eye-guard. The fingertip windage and elevation adjustment are under screw-down caps, with durable leaf-spring windage and elevation adjustments. The one-piece tube is made of aircraft-quality aluminum, with durable, scratch-resistant, non-reflective matte finish. Visit www.truglo.com.
Yukon Advanced Optics 6x-100x100 Spotting Scope
The Yukon 6X-to-100X is a revolutionary spotting scope that offers magnification from 6X to 100X, with no distortion or loss of image quality. The scope uses a common rotating 45-degree eyepiece/ocular lens, plus two multi-coated objective lenses, one with a 35mm aperture and the other with a 100mm aperture. Between 6X and 25X, the scope utilizes the 35mm lens. When more magnification is desired, the flip of a switch shifts the light path to the 100mm objective lens, for 25X to 100X magnification. The enormous light-gathering capability of the 100mm lens allows a bright and clear picture in nearly all viewing conditions, including twilight.

Zeiss Rapid-Z Reticles
Among various new products for this year, Zeiss’ most impressive achievement is the development of a unique new set of “Rapid-Z” user-friendly reticle systems, which allow for quick and uncomplicated target holdover and range-estimation. Reticles will be available in the Rapid-Z 600, Rapid-Z Varmint and Rapid-Z 800 formats for common rifle calibers, and the Rapid-Z 1000 for longer-range shooting. Horizontal lines with yardage reference numbers indicating distances provide for accurate and easy holdover to rapidly engage targets at any distance within the capability of the reticle, riflescope and rifle being used. Yardage distances will vary depending on the reticle format, with the Rapid-Z 600 and Rapid-Z Varmint for use out to 600 yards, and the Rapid-Z 800 and Rapid-Z 1000 for use out to 800 and 1,000 yards, respectively. In addition to holdover reference points, the reticles will have hold points for windage equating to 5- and 10-mph winds along the horizontal axis of the major yardage lines. The Rapid-Z reticles will be initially offered in Conquest MC 40mm, 44mm and 50mm objective models, and the Victory Diavari V 6-24x56 and 6-24x72 models, as well as Zeiss’ new Victory Diarange M T* 2.5-10x50 and 3-12x56 models — all with the reticle placed in the second image plane.
