RICHMOND, Va. — GPO USA, a leading manufacturer and distributor of high-quality, affordable sporting optics, is proud to introduce two new 10X monoculars to its line of premium optics – the GPO PASSION 10x32ED monocular and the GPOTAC 10x42ED tactical monocular.
“Monoculars generally don’t get the respect they deserve when it comes to their lightweight, quick-handling, and ease-of-use features; most are too small and of poor quality,” said Mike Jensen, GPO, USA’s owner and CEO. “But, when a quality full-sized monocular becomes available, more people will discover its benefits. They will become increasingly popular for casual and professional use. These two new 10X GPO units have been designed to provide cutting-edge quality at an affordable price.”
The GPO M100 PASSION 10×32 monocular is designed for everyday use for those who might wish to capture an unexpected image that pops up unexpectedly – something that catches your eye while hiking, hunting, or even watching a sporting event – when packing a larger, more cumbersome binocular is not practical or convenient. A new GPO monocular is the perfect solution. This unit measures just 2.5x2x5.1 inches and weighs only 11.3 oz. With a 36mm ED objective lens, you can gather plenty of light, and the generous 14.5mm of eye relief and a 325-foot field of view will provide a large picture to view. It will focus quickly with a simple spindle.
The GPOTAC 10×42 ED tactical monocular is a more specialized device designed for tactical or field situations where a specialized optic for quick, accurate range measurement calculations is required. Designed with an off-center MIL reticle, this unit measures a mere 2.2×2.2×6.3 inches, weighs just 13.4 oz., has a generous 42mm objective lens, 14mm of eye relief, a 304-foot field of view, and focuses by twisting the eyepiece. It is the ideal optic for lightweight, compact, fast, and accurate target acquisitions.
Both units feature robust armor housing, GPOBright™ high-transmission lens coatings, ergonomic single wheel focus, and magnesium housing, and are waterproof (3 feet/30 minutes.) They will be available this spring at retailers nationwide and conveniently online at www.gpo-usa.com. The suggested retail price for the PASSION 10×32 ED is $289, and the MSRP for the GPOTAC 10×42 ED is $349. Both are backed by GPO USA’s industry-leading Spectacular Lifetime Warranty™.
