Aimpoint Announces New 3X-P Magnifier for SHOT Show and Industry Day at the Range

Wednesday, January 17th, 2024

Manassas, VA – January 17th, 2024 – Aimpoint®, the leading manufacturer and innovator of red dot sighting technology, introduces the new Aimpoint 3X-P Magnifier. Designed to work in conjunction with Aimpoint red dot sights, the 3X-P™ is a 3x power magnifying module built to withstand the demands of professional end-users.

The Aimpoint® 3X-P features a variable dioptric setting (-2 to +2), allowing the magnifier to be adjusted to the individual user’s eye and an ergonomic design with protective rubber cover for a sure grip when used as a handheld device. Offered at an affordable price point, the 3X-P is the ideal solution to increase the distance of your aiming solution without sacrificing the advantage of extremely quick target acquisition.

Whether it is paired with an Aimpoint red dot sight or used as a handheld monocular, the 3X-P™ provides a crisp sight picture with a generous field of view. Utilizing the red dot in Aimpoint sights as the aiming reticle eliminates the need for re-zeroing when shifting between non-magnified and magnified aiming. The magnifier may be used with the quick-detach Aimpoint® TwistMount, or with the FlipMount™ which allows the magnifier to be quickly flipped in or out of the optical axis or removed from the firearm completely.

“This magnifier increases the capabilities for many users of Aimpoint sights,” said Erik Jeppsson, Director Marketing & Sales Worldwide for Aimpoint. “We now offer a magnifier that fits the needs of demanding professionals, while maintaining a budget-friendly price point.”

As the originator of red dot sighting technology, Aimpoint is trusted as the worldwide leader of reflex sights in both quality and technical support. For more information on the Aimpoint 3X-P or any other Aimpoint products, visit the company’s webpage: www.aimpoint.us

MATBOCK Tariser Eclipse 12 Years Later!

Tuesday, January 16th, 2024

Look what MATBOCK found when digging through their videos.

For nearly a decade, the Tarsier Eclipse has been on the market. This was one of the original designs that ultimately didn’t make the cut, a few reasons why it didn’t make the cut.
The material is less protective than the current rubber body, which acts as a shock absorber.
The inability to quickly identify how open or closed the iris is, even with cold weather gloves on.
Less parts that required being screwed together
Operators were inadvertently unlocking or twisting the body off when they adjusted the iris to “fully open” or “fully closed”.
Here is a cool pro-tip they just posted the other day.

MLK: A Timeless Message

Monday, January 15th, 2024

The US civil rights movement saw many defining moments throughout the 1950s and 1960s, with significant achievements in 1964 with the Civil Rights Act, and in 1965 with the Voting Rights Act. Throughout this era, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. became synonymous with the social and political struggle in pursuit of equality and freedom for all people to “live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

Throughout this time, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. impacted millions of lives during his travels across the country, sometimes through simple acts of kindness to strangers.

In 1967, one of those strangers was a young flight attendant on a United Airlines flight between New York and Atlanta, our Co-Founder and Chairman, Nancy E. Meyers…
