Laica Ultravid HD 8x42

Leica
One would think that it would be impossible to improve the near-perfect optical quality of Leica's Ultravid binoculars, but the company did just that this year with the introduction of the Ultravid HD. The new binocular offers improved light transmission without compromising compactness by using a new prism coating and special fluorite glass for all the lens elements. The HD series also debuts the new AquaDura coating, which beads up water droplets for improved performance in inclement weather. The new Ultravid HD binocular is available in a variety of models: 8X32, 10X32, 7X42, 8X42, 10X42, 8X50, 10X50, and 12X50.

Leupold Green Ring Mojave 10x42

Leupold & Stevens
Leupold and the Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA) have joined forces to develop a line of riflescopes specifically designed for serious whitetail hunters; it's called the QDManager series. Based on Leupold's VX-L models, the QDManager scopes have the Light Optimization Profile, a concave crescent in the bottom of the objective lens and bell. In addition to the design's low-light performance, the riflescopes feature illuminated reticles for maximized performance at dusk and dawn. The QDManager riflescopes are available in 3.5-10X 50mm, 4.5-14X 50mm, 3.5-10X 56mm, and 4.5-14X 56mm. All have a matte-black finish and feature the QDManager identifier on the Leupold Golden Ring, the QDMA logo medallion, and the QDMA logo engraved on the scope.

Leupold has dropped weight without sacrificing optical performance with the introduction of the company's first open-bridge line of binoculars, the Green Ring Mojave. Available in either 8X42 or 10X42 models, the Mojave's open-bridge design reduces the binoculars' weight to a mere 23 ounces. The design also improves the ergonomics of the binoculars, making them incredibly comfortable and easy to hold during extended use.

The Mojave binoculars have multicoated optics for a bright sight picture with the contrast and color fidelity needed to make positive identifications. Additionally, the silver-enhanced, cold-mirror coatings provide exceptional performance in low-light situations. The binoculars are available in either black or Mossy Oak Treestand armor coatings.

NightForce Angle Degree Indicator

NightForce
The NightForce 1-4X 24mm and 2.5-10X 24mm compact NXS riflescopes are now offered with patented ZeroStop technology and a windage limiter. Both models incorporate exposed turrets for rapid access and quick adjustments. These streamlined scopes have low profiles, allowing easy mounting on virtually any rifle. The ZeroStop turret allows an instant and absolute return to zero entirely by feel, every time, regardless of how much the elevation has been adjusted.

The new NightForce Angle Degree Indicator takes the guesswork out of uphill or downhill shots, especially at longer ranges. It provides an instant visual reading of the slope angle in degrees, which can then be used with a preprinted angle drop chart or entered directly into the NightForce ballistic software program. The Angle Degree Indicator's two-piece, low-profile, Picatinny-mount design allows easy installation without removing the scope. It is offered in both left- and right-hand versions.
