Nightforce Optics congratulates winners of inaugural Nightforce Precision Tactical 2 Rifle Match

Wednesday, August 31st, 2016

This past weekend concluded the 2016 Nightforce Precision Tactical 2 Rifle Match. The match was a success for unveiling and proofing a new match format, one where competitors fire both carbines and precision rifles on the same stages. This was a field match, held across the Coal Canyon area of the NRA Whittington Center. Targets and shooting positions were placed across the natural terrain instead of on a traditional square range.

Competitors fired over 200 rounds of carbine and up to 100 rounds of precision rifle across the 10 stages. Carbine targets ranged from as close as 3 yards to as far as 400 yards. Precision rifle targets ranged between 300 and 890 yards. At the start of each stage, all competitors had to carry their gear and configure their rifles and shooting positions on the clock.

Congratulations to the following shooters on their Top 5 finish:

Collin Fossen – 1st

Tyler Payne – 2nd

Brad Riley – 3rd

Reid Driscoll – 4th

Matt Sweeney – 5th

Scalarworks has announced the Low Drag Mount for the Aimpoint CompM4, which they claim is the lightest QD Aimpoint CompM4 mount available on the market; given it weights in at only 1.49 oz. (with mounting hardware), that’s a hard claim to refute. The full release can be read below:

EASTON, PA – August 29, 2016 – Scalarworks, manufacturer of high-performance optic mounts, is pleased to introduce the Low Drag Mount™ for Aimpoint CompM4 sights; the lightest quick-detach Aimpoint CompM4 mount in existence – weighing only 1.49oz, include sight screws.

Like all Scalarworks Low Drag Mounts; the LDM/CompM4 has a monolithic base made of high-strength 7075-T6 Aluminum, and features our proprietary recoil-proof notched thumbscrew with ball detent. It also has the same precision telescoping clamp as our popular Aimpoint Micro and Trijicon MRO mounts, which ensures a repeatable zero with each installation.

The Birth Of The BE Meyers MAWL

Monday, August 22nd, 2016

This is how the MAWL started, two years ago today.

It started with B.E. Meyers & Company, Inc. having their engineering team clear rooms at an abandoned school complex, day and night. They cleared 500 rooms the first day, and 400 the second day. It wasn’t pretty but it worked.

By learning the limitations and constraints of existing laser systems available, they understood exactly what capability gaps needed to be filled. By ensuring the engineering team was part of the discussion from the initial concept, they knew what the commonly was asking them to design and why, and thus MAWL was born.

ZEV Technologies Now a Leupold Approved Partner

Friday, August 12th, 2016

Oxnard, CA – August 12th 2017 – ZEV Technologies, manufacturer of components and accessories for GLOCK® pistols, is proud to announce it has been named as an approved Leupold partner for the Delta Point PRO.

”The Delta Point PRO has changed the playing field when it comes to mounting a red dot on a pistol and becoming one of their first approved partners is a great honor” stated Dave Roberts, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for ZEV Technologies. “This partnership will enhance our product offerings available for the Leupold DPP, allowing us to work directly with their product design team to create the best Delta Point PRO mounting solutions available for GLOCK handguns.”

While other approaches mount an optic on top of a Glock slide, ZEV’s slide cut actually seats the optic in the slide with ZEV’s patented thread mounting system that provides more contact points and double the threaded surface area to ensure stability and reliability.

“ZEV Technologies commitment to quality and innovation reflect the same values we hold at Leupold & Stevens,” said Shane Meisel, marketing manager for Leupold & Stevens. “We are very proud to partner with such an inspirational and like-minded company.”
