Atibal Sights Releases Plumb Precision Products (P3) Competition Reticle

Monday, February 6th, 2023

Issaquah, Washington: Atibal Sights and Plumb Precision Products are excited to announce the release of the patented Plumb Precision Products (P3) Competition Reticle in the Atibal X 1-10 First Focal Plane Scope. The P3 Competition Reticle is a commercial market variant of military oriented reticles submitted to various programs such as NSGW-FC IDEAS. Instead of a focus on military applications, the P3 Competition Reticle is oriented for use with IPSC style targets.

The P3 Competition reticle allows for close engagements with a 4.5 milliradian center horseshoe that is daylight bright.

IPSC targets and those of a similar size, can be ranged and engaged with unprecedented versatility and speed. Unique to the P3 Competition Reticle, any caliber can be used. The patented ranging arcs are an average trajectory of calibers, which allows rapid engagements without calculation.

Using the “S.A.S” or “Size, Aim, Shoot” method, the P3 Competition Reticle provides range to target and immediate references for range. The shooter “Sizes” the target. The shooter then uses caliber and weapon specific data to provide the best point of “Aim”. The shooter can then “Shoot”. The ability to range targets in yards or meters is supported.

Other patented features, such as the milling arrows, provide hyper accurate ranging information for more deliberate shots. The milling arrows also provide index points for quick zeroing at 25 yards or meters. The ranging arcs allow for 1/3rd, 2/3rd, or full target presentations for shoot/ no-shoot scenarios.

Packed full of features but with a clean and clear presentation the P3 Competition Reticle needs the proper optic. From close quarters to long range precision shooting, the Atibal X 1-10×30 FFP with daylight bright illumination has been designed to be the most versatile LPVO on the market.

The Atibal X offers the clarity and dependability normally found in high end optics, but without the high-end price tag.

The Atibal X is a true 1x to 10X powered optic. Atibal was the first to market with this type of optic. Atibal delivers features such as 1/10 MIL click finger adjustable windage and elevation target turrets. The Atibal X illumination dial has 6 brightness levels with off positions between each setting. The magnification adjustment ring has an oversized low profile finger tab that makes deliberate zoom adjustments quick and easy.

The Atibal X has low dispersion ED glass. This Extra-low Dispersion Glass corrects optical color defects commonly found in optics when light passes through multiple optical glass lenses.

All of this is reenforced by Atibal’s Full Lifetime Warranty and available now for under $1000.

Fresh Sales Successes for Rheinmetall in Artillery Ammunition: Total Order Value in the Double-Digit Million-Euro Range

Friday, February 3rd, 2023

Rheinmetall has just won two new contracts in the indirect fire ammunition domain. An international customer has ordered propellant charges worth around €40 million from Rheinmetall Denel Munition, the Group’s South African subsidiary. Another customer, a NATO state, has placed an order with Rheinmetall Denel Munition for its tried-and-tested Assegai 155mm ammunition. This order is worth around €17 million. The Assegai family of artillery ammunition can be fired from any NATO STANAG-compatible artillery system, including the PzH 2000 self-propelled howitzer.

“We’re very pleased that two customers – including a NATO member state and a non-NATO country – have again placed their trust in our globally proven Assegai indirect fire technology”, says Jan-Patrick Helmsen, managing director of Rheinmetall Denel Munition. “As a systems maker, we work constantly to improve our cutting-edge technologies so that we can provide our customers’ soldiers with the very best, most reliable solutions possible.”

Back in 2019, Rheinmetall succeeded in setting a new maximum range record in South Africa with the Assegai family and other Group products like the new Extended Range Charge from Rheinmetall’s subsidiary Nitrochemie AG. Thanks to the Assegai system approach – from fuse to projectile to propelling charges – long ranges were attained with various artillery systems. A non-NATO 155mm artillery gun with 52 calibre lengths and a 25-litre propelling charge chamber achieved a record range of 76 kilometres.

Rheinmetall Denel Munition is already working on other future artillery technologies. For example, the rocket motor in conventional 155mm Assegai projectiles is being improved. In addition to this, a new development is on the way that will boost the maximum range to over 155 kilometres.
