Meopta USA Introduces the TGA 75 Collapsible Spotting Scope
Tuesday, March 20th, 2018
TAMPA, FL, March 19, 2018 – Meopta USA introduces the TGA 75 collapsible spotting scope. Engineered for hunters, the classic draw-tube design of this rugged spotting scope allows the length to be shorten from 14.8 inches when fully extended to 9.8 inches when collapsed, making it easier to carry. Featuring a 75mm objective lens, the fully-multi coated, premium-grade optics ensure superior light transmission and edge-to-edge clarity across the entire field of view while Meopta’s proprietary MeoShieldTM coating protects external lens surfaces from abrasions and scratches.
The TGA 75 has a fully-rubber-armored, lightweight aluminum body built to withstand use in the toughest terrain and is available with three interchangeable eyepieces: 30x WA-R (wide angle ranging), 30x WA (wide angle) or 20-60x zoom.
“The compact TGA 75 spotting scope is ideal for hunters on the move and especially popular with those who pack into remote areas,” said Randy Garrison, Director of Meopta USA Sport Optics. “Size, weight and optical performance are important, and the TGA 75 delivers on all fronts.”
Shockproof and water-resistant, the TGA 75 can be mounted on a tripod but is easily used without one by placing it on a tree, rock or pack for support.

Strategie & Technik – Roving Tactical Reporter Wings Now Available
Tuesday, March 20th, 2018During Enforce Tac, my friend Dr JP Weisswange presented me with his Roving Tactical Reporter Wings.
JP refers to the skill set as Die RTR-Schwingen (RTR = Rasender Taktischer Reporter/Roving Tactical Reporter). Considering I run into him all over the world, it’s an apt title.
The badge’s symbology is more intricate:
The owl stands for strategy, the gear for technology and the gladius for armed forces. The wings represent the energy of the reporter. The whole is on a diagonally divided rectangle, the tactical sign for Enlightenment, the lower greenish half stands for infantry, the upper golden yellow for cavalry.
The badge is available from www.sierra-313.de/shop/.
