The Armourer’s Bench talks about British SUSAT Combat Gunsight for the L85 bullpup rifle. It was a good optic from the 1970s that has a very wide 10 degree field of view and a fast obelisk reticle with tritium illumination. However, it’s big and heavy with poor eye relief, and it uses funky external adjustment. […]
Another interesting optic released by Meopta USA during SHOT Show 2019 was their American made MeoPro 80 HD spotting scope with a straight eye-piece. Not exactly a new product, as the angled eye-piece version had been available for few years now, but for the types of shooting that I do, I much prefer using a […]
Meprolight USA released their new Foresight digital reflex sight at SHOT Show 2019. While it looks similar to their Mepro M5 sight externally, the new Foresight uses a digital projection that not only displays the reticle but also other information on the viewing window. I have previous reviewed the Mepro M21, RDS (commercial version of […]
Every SHOT Show, my friends and I always stop by the Fujifilm booth to check out their gears. Usually we were mostly interested in their cameras and lens, however, this year the new version of their Fujinon compact stabilized binoculars had caught my eye. Made for marine and vehicle application, the Fujinon Techno-Stabi series of […]

The initial production models are made for direct mounting to the ELCAN Specter series, which included the 1x/4x model, the 1.6x/6x model and the fixed 4x model. The retail price is $399 for either the 4-MOA or 6-MOA models. A […]
During SHOT Show 2019, I was introduced to a small company that builds compliant magazine for restricted states, more specifically – California and New York. The biggest advantage of the CompMag over other types of compliant lock system is that there’s no need to install anything to the gun receiver itself, and the CompMag could […]
Primary Arms (PA), probably the most popular optic company right now, had launched a numbers of new products during SHOT Show 2019. Two of those had caught my interest: the new Raptor 1-8×24 FFP ACSS, and the 25mm objective advanced micro red dot sight. The new Raptor 1-8×24 FFP ACSS is the latest addition […]
Meopta Sport Optics USA launched their new Optika 6x magnification line just before SHOT Show 2019. Since I had previously reviewed their 1-4x22mm and 1-6x24mm, I was most interested in the new mid-range Optika 1-6x24mm. The price will be starting at $499 with Meopta’s self-illuminating Dichroic reticle, and $699 for the battery-powered daylight visible illuminated models […]
