Badger Ordnance Introduces the Condition One Modular Mount

Wednesday, January 9th, 2019

Badger Ordnance is proud to announce their new Condition One Modular Mount (C.O.M.M.).

The C1 Modular Mount is Badger Ordnance’s answer to a growing demand for modularity in optical platform mounting. The C1 Modular Mount offers the end user four accessory mounting points on the Unimount body both left, right, fore, and aft to suit a wide range of shooter’s needs. With the ever-expanding options available to shooters in the accessory and electro-optic markets, Badger Ordnance saw the need for a mount that can make the most use of precious real estate on rifle platforms while acting as a centralized hub for attachments and not suffering from deflection seen on optics and lasers attached to handguards.

For 2019 Badger Ordnance has also introduced new mount heights to their lineup. The C1 Modular Mount is available in a 1.93” tall height for shooters who prefer a more heads up shooting position or to allow for clearance of lasers and attachments. The 1.93” tall mount also helps to aid in shooting passively through optics while wearing head borne night vision systems. Badger has also introduced the height of 1.70” which is the common height of lower 1/3rdred dot mounts. With the wide adoption of low power variable optics Badger Ordnance felt the need for a mount height option for shooters who have developed their skills on, and spent tireless hours training with, lower 1/3rdheight red dots. The C1 Modular Mount is also available in NV height compatible options both in flat and 20MOA bias with options available for mounting co-aligned laser range finding systems.

Commercial release for the C1 Modular Mount is set for Q1 2019 with initial offerings in 30mm, 34mm, and 35mm with initial Micro Sight Mounts being offered for the Leupold DPP, Trijicon RMR, and Aimpoint T1/T2. Badger Ordnance will continue to develop the C1 Modular Mount line with attachments such as levels, mounts for digital displays, angle cosign indicators, offset sighting systems and much more. Whether you’re a casual shooter, competitor or those serving their Nation in Law Enforcement or Armed Services, the Badger Ordnance C1 Modular Mount will meet your demands.

Be sure to see Badger Ordnance at SHOT Show at booth #20005.

Relentless Reach: Leupold Announces RBX-3000 TBR/W Rangefinding Binocular

Wednesday, January 9th, 2019

BEAVERTON, Ore. — Leupold & Stevens, Inc., has announced the arrival of its game-changing RBX-3000 TBR/W rangefinding binocular.

Leupold’s return to the rangefinding binocular market, the RBX-3000 TBR/W combines excellent glass with incredible ranging distances of 3,000 yards on reflective objects and 2,600 yards on trees and soft targets. Designed for the most relentless hunters and competition shooters, the RBX-3000 TBR/W redefines the rangefinding binocular category.

“Our consumers are incredibly committed to their craft and demand top-of-the-line performance from their optics,” said Tim Lesser, Vice President of Product Development for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “The RBX-3000 TBR/W has been developed from the ground up to deliver the ultra-premium performance the Leupold brand is known for. We weren’t going to come to market with a new rangefinding binocular until it was the best, and we’re happy to say it has arrived.”

The RBX-3000 TBR/W features easy-to-read, high-contrast data on a red LED display and dual eyepiece diopter adjustment. An on-board atmospheric sensor will display temperature, air pressure, and humidity. The top-tier optical prescription is reinforced by Leupold’s Twilight Max HD Light Management System. Twilight Max HD – the same light management system associated with the company’s award-winning VX-5HD and VX-6HD riflescopes – allows users to glass longer during the early predawn hours to well past dusk. Twilight Max HD combines exceptional light transmission and glare management to provide vivid images with top-of-the-line optical performance in low-light conditions.

The RBX-3000 TBR/W delivers incredibly accurate ranges with its True Ballistic Range/Wind (TBR/W) technology. TBR takes into account the angle of your shot and your rifle’s ballistics to put you dead on target. Other rangefinders will certainly spit out a number, but they won’t produce an accurate range to your target because they use basic trigonometry to calculate a straight-line horizontal distance. When you’re going long, the angle matters.

“Despite what other brands may tell you, ballistics aren’t simply in the dial,” said Eric Overstreet, Product Line Manager for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “If you’re going to be hunting or shooting at elevation or in any kind of mountainous terrain, you absolutely need a rangefinder that’s capable of calculating ballistic solutions at angles. The RBX-3000 TBR/W delivers on that in a package that’s been designed for the hunter and shooter that refuses to fail – because it won’t, either.”

Aircraft-grade aluminum housing ensures the RBX-3000 TBR/W lives up to the rugged durability Leupold products are known for. It is 100 percent waterproof and fogproof, and the lens feature Guard-ion coatings that shed dirt and water for crisp, clear images.

The RBX-3000 TBR/W will be available in a 10x42mm configuration with a Shadow Gray finish. It ships with a Leupold binocular harness, binocular strap, lens pen, and lens cloth.

The RBX-3000 TBR/W is scheduled to arrive on shelves beginning in spring 2019.

All riflescopes have specially designed turrets that make adjustment easier for users wearing gloves, and are equipped with flip-up caps on the ocular and objective lenses to protect the glass and help keep the glass surfaces clean. Subdued internal components reduce glare and bright spots, resulting in improved vision and a clearer image. The line also includes a 3-9X40mm riflescope with an illuminated reticle and 34mm tube, and two 1-8X28mm riflescopes with 34mm tubes. All Crimson Trace riflescopes are fog-, shock-, water- and dust-proof and the illuminated reticles can be adjusted to varying intensity levels.

Bad Company Tactical: R2S Optics Mount and Accessory Mount

Thursday, January 3rd, 2019

Bad Company Tactical gave us a preview of their Rapid Retention System Optical and Accessory Mount. It’s a quick-change optics and accessory mount.

optics-mount-assy-rev-x1-pic1.jpg

The R2S Optics Mount allows the end user to rapidly change the optics on the move with out having to remove the base from the weapon. The push of a single button allows end users to move from one optical platform to another in seconds and with out having to remove the entire optic and mount; this equates to not having to paint mark or guess exactly where the optic was mounted before for a proper eye relief or return to zero.  The R2S Optics Mount also allows for the end user to have more than one optic for more than one application, not the shooter can go from a dedicated magnified optic to a parallax free red dot with the push of a button. This system also allows for the use of quick detach magnifiers, lasers, lights, and other accessories like night vision.

Another good use will be the ability to have dedicated optics for different barrel lengths or even calibers.  With more adaptable weapon platforms the new R2S Optics Mount allows the end user to quickly switch not only your barrel or caliber out but to ensure that your pre-zeroed optic will return to zero once you lock it into place.  This will give end users a new level of adaptability for both optics and accessories.  There is even going to be an MPA RAT adaptable base plate for accessories supporting precision shooting supporting tripods, barricade braces, and bipods. Now the shooter will be able to simple “clip” into supporting systems for precision shooters quickly and with out failure.

11159856-11CC-41CF-A17A-7DEDFD220A58

This system will usher in a new adaptable platform that not only supports optics but the use of multiple platforms allowing for rapid customization without sacrificing repeatability and reliability.  The Bad Company Tactical R2S Optics Mount ensures adaptability for the most popular optics and supporting accessories.  The R2S Optics Mount will be debuted at Shot Show 2019 along with a new improved and more modular Rapid Retention System as well.
