Caveat Emptor – Leupold Counterfeit Warning

Monday, July 29th, 2013

Leupold put out a warning detailing a recent surge of counterfeit Mark 4 and Prismatic riflescopes. The scopes’ apparent origin is the People’s Republic of China, and bear many of the marks and trade dress of current Leupold & Stevens riflescopes. If a scope seems suspect, the serial number can be called in to 1-800-LEUPOLD to confirm its authenticity. The counterfeit scopes can also be identified by several characteristics not found on authentic Leupold scopes, as seen in the images below.

Tenebraex Weapon Sight Polarizer

Monday, July 29th, 2013

We mentioned this a year ago but I’d say that it’s worth bringing up again.

The Tenebraex Weapon Sight Polarizer offers a practical solution to the issue of glare when using a weapon mounted scope. Unlike other polarizer filters that mount to the front of a scope, potentially shifting the point of impact, the Weapon Sight polarizer uses a rotating polarizer that mounts to the rear of the scope. Additionally, the Polarizer can also be quickly and securely flipped up and out of the way when not needed. Constructed from Santoprene which combines the strength of plastic with the flexibility of rubber, it weighs only 1.3 oz. It incurs a modest scope length increase of .82″.

Two models exist, the LSU and STZ, allowing for mounting on a variety of scopes from the following manufacturers: Leupold, Schmidt & Bender, Unertl Tactical, Kahles, Springfield Armory, Zeiss, Trijicon, and Nightforce.

The Tenebraex Weapon Sight Polarizer is available from ustacticalsupply.com/weaponsightpolarizer

Monday, July 29th, 2013

Firearms trainer Jeff Gonzalez from Trident Concepts recently shared some great advice on traveling with firearms.

So after a decade of traveling commercial air, you pick up on a few things. Add the dramatic changes in airline security and it can be a bit confusing. Here are a few tips for traveling with a firearm.

First, know the law where you are going and when in doubt call ahead and if that comes up with some shady information then leave it behind. There are way too many horror stories so forewarned is forearmed. Yes it does suck, but it is a reality we will have to live with for some time to come.
