Designed for hunters and long-range shooters who demand precision without bulk, this latest generation raises the bar even further. Building on the success of one of GPO’s most popular products, the upgraded RangeGuide™ 10×50 introduces a newly enhanced electronic system and next-generation laser technology, extending its maximum ranging capability to an impressive 3,600 yards.

The RangeGuide™ features an eye-safe Class 1 laser with rapid 0.25-second response time, delivering instant and reliable distance measurements. Integrated True Range Angle Technology calculates precise compensated distances based on incline or decline, ensuring accuracy in even the most challenging terrain. It also features a significantly improved display system, offering enhanced clarity and readability in all lighting conditions. In addition, refined mode functionality makes operation more intuitive and user-friendly in the field allowing users to access critical data faster and with greater ease.  

At the core of the RangeGuide™ is GPO’s renowned optical system. The double-HD laminated 50mm objective lenses, paired with proprietary GPObright™ high-transmission coatings, deliver outstanding light transmission, edge-to-edge sharpness, and superior resolution, especially in low-light conditions.

Richmond, VA. (August 14th, 2026) – German Precision Optics(GPO USA) proudly announces the GPO SetbackÔ Cantilever 3” extension mount designed for compact tactical 30mm riflescopes. This design allows compact riflescopes to be mounted up to either 3” forward or rearward, depending on what the optical system requires for optimal eye relief.

“This new mount is a must for compact riflescope users,” said Mike Jensen, Owner and CEO of GPO, USA. “Most riflescope mounts push optics forward. Compact tactical scopes often require the opposite. The GPO SetBack™ allows you to bring the optic rearward, allowing shooters to achieve proper eye relief, faster target acquisition, and a more natural head position behind the rifle. The result is improved comfort, a full sight picture, and maximum performance from today’s compact precision optics.”

The GPO SetBack™ 3” cantilever was designed and engineered specifically for today’s ultra-compact tactical optics. While compact scopes offer significant advantages in weight, balance, and handling, their shorter main tube length often limits mounting flexibility and can place the optic too far forward for proper eye relief. The SetBack solves this problem by moving the scope mounting position up to 3 inches rearward, allowing shooters to achieve a full field of view and a comfortable shooting position without compromising rail engagement or mounting security. The GPO SetBack™ ensures your optic sits exactly where it should, closer or further to your eye and ready for maximum performance.

This ingenious extension mount is precision machined from a single billet of aircraft-grade aluminum. The unique one-piece mount delivers exceptional rigidity, precise ring alignment, and dependable return-to-zero performance under heavy recoil and demanding in-the-field conditions. Although 1-piece, it has extremely narrow ring gap, less than 2.5”, made specifically for scopes with extremely limited mounting surface (ie the GPO CENTURI Super-Compact series).  Designed for riflescopes with a 30mm main tube, the SetBack features four hardened steel Allen-head cross-bolts that provide a secure, repeatable attachment to any Mil-Std 1913 Picatinny rail.

Premium features include:

• Positions the scope up to 3” rearward or forward for optimal eye relief

• Designed for 30mm main tube riflescopes

• One-piece precision-machined aircraft-grade aluminum construction

• Four hardened steel Allen-head cross-bolts for maximum mounting security

• Mil-Std 1913 Picatinny rail compatible

• Optimized for compact tactical optics

• Improves eye relief and shooting comfort

• Hard-anodized matte black finish

• Maintains strength, alignment, and zero retention under recoil

The GPO SetBackÔ retails for $89.99 and will be available through authorized GPO dealers nationwide and online at www.gpo-usa.com.

BARNEVELD, Wis. – Shooters have strong preferences when it comes to red dots. Some prefer red. Others prefer green, especially in certain lighting conditions. Now, these shooters have another option with the addition of the new green dot model in the Venom ® Enclosed Micro Red Dot lineup.

Range days don’t always come with perfect weather. The workhorse Venom® Enclosed Micro Red Dot family is equally at home on a pistol, offset on a carbine, or piggybacked on an LPVO. Adjustable brightness settings help keep the dot visible in changing light, while its enclosed design shields the emitter from rain, dust, or snow, so changing conditions never have have to cur a range session short.

ENCLOSED ALUMINUM HOUSING – Durable 6061 aluminum, blocks out weather, mud, snow, and debris.

LARGE VIEWING WINDOW – For fast target acquisition and a full sight picture.

ASPHERICAL LENS – For distortion-free sight picture and truer colors.

MOTION ACTIVATION WITH 10 MINUTE AUTO-SHUTOFF – Automatically activates with motion while 10 minute auto-shutoff saves battery life.

TOP BUTTONS – For hassle-free adjustments.

For some shooters, a green dot may be easier to pick up against certain backgrounds, in changing light inside or outdoors, or for those who simply see green better than red. The new model gives those shooters another option while preserving the controls, handling, and protection Venom® users already know.

The Venom® Enclosed Micro Green Dot is now available with an MSRP of $289.99 and a MAP of $199.99. To learn more, compare models, or find a dealer, check out the new Vortex® Store Locator .
