RICHMOND, Va. (March 7, 2024) — German Precision Optics expands its RANGEETRACKER™ line by introducing the new RANGETRACKER 2000. This new compact, lightweight, one-handed rangefinder allows the hunter to accurately range its target to 2000 yards with one of the fastest laser rangefinding systems on the market.

The GPO RANGETRACKER 2000 handheld rangefinder incorporates crystal clear optics that allow absolute aiming options and modern electronic technology, wrapped into a small, durable, multi-use rangefinding tool. It will work perfectly for extended-range hunting opportunities with its 2000-yard distance and close-up at 6 yards for the archer.

Enhancing the performance of the RANGETRACKER product line is its new OLED red-illuminated display readout. This illuminated display has multiple brightness settings that can be set so the readout is visible in the lowest light condition or turned off for a black LCD readout on sunny days.

Like the popular GPO RANGETRACKER 1800 that was introduced in 2021, the new RANGETRACKER 2000 includes a high-transmission optical system coated with GPO’s proprietary GPObright™ lens coatings, both line of sight and True-range™ adjusted angle distance readings, a Hyperscan™ feature that provides three readings per second and Targetseeker™ technology that offers “best” and “last” laser hits.

The RANGETRACKER 2000 has an MSRP price of $499.99. As is the case with all GPO offerings, our exceptional rangefinders are backed by our unmatched Spectacular Lifetime Warranty™. These outstanding products are accessible through GPO USA dealers across the nation or conveniently online at www.gpo-usa.com, where you will also find a comprehensive selection of our high-quality riflescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes, laser rangefinders, accessories, and more.

The MFBS delivers high durability, saves space on the rail, and presents an especially comfortable operating experience

28 February 2024: IWI – Israel Weapon Industries – a member of the SK Group (founded by Mr. Samy Katsav), and a global leader in the production of combat-proven small arms for military, police, law enforcement agencies, and governmental entities around the world, has unveiled its new Micro Folding Battle Sight.

IWI’s MFBS represents a unique design which addresses the challenge of combining co witness back up iron sights with higher reflex sights alongside various accessories on the picatinny rail. It is specifically developed to conserve the valuable space on the rail without compromising the availability of back-up sights, thus ensuring weapon reliability and functionality whenever needed and under any environmental conditions.

The micro folding back up sight offers exceptional co-witness capabilities while taking up minimal space on any picatinny rail. The MFBS sights can be lifted and folded when needed, in line with operational needs, and have a narrow profile in relation to the width of the picatinny rail. They can be adapted to a range of high reflex sights and accompanying tall means, with a low cross section in the folded position. As such, the sights do not interfere with the other means placed on the weapon.  

Designed to seamlessly complement most well-known sights on the market, the new compact sight folds backwards, ensuring maximum rail space without hindering the use of the AR charging handle.

The Micro Folding Battle Sights offer ultimate versatility. They can be adjusted with a simple tool, which makes field modifications easy, and are offered with or without tritium inserts. The front sight is offered in a narrow profile for sights without tritium inserts. The rear sight is designed with a quick modification between small and large apertures. The MFBS are designed for the field and meet both NATO and MIL-STD drop tests.

Ronen Hamudot, Executive VP Marketing and Sales of the SK Group said: “IWI developed the MFBS after identifying the need for detachable, durable sights, that arose from the field.  Introducing the MFBS to the market represents our commitment to clients to provide comprehensive solutions, and to expanding our offering”.
