Warrior West 21 – HDT Hunter WOLF

July 1st, 2021

One of the first things you see upon entering Warrior West is HDT’s Hunter Wheeled Offload Logistics Follower (WOLF), a 6×6 load-carrier for dismounted infantry.

Capable of carrying 1,000 kg (2,200 pounds) off-road for more than 300 km (200 miles) at up to 12 mph, and 120 hour endurance with its onboard fuel tank, the JP-8 / electric hybrid powertrain provides both a “silent drive” and “silent watch” capability. It will also produce five kilowatts of power.

This particular model spent quite a bit of time with the 10th Mountain Division, including a JRTC rotation, where the Army learned about how to use a small robotic vehicle in direct support of the squad.

What interests me about the Hunter WOLF is the modular architecture which allows the quick reconfiguration of multiple mission payloads.

At Warrior West, it is fitted with the MPR060 Water Purification System which produces 60GPH (227 LPH) maximum flow rate on freshwater sources and 30GPH (113.6 LPH) maximum flow rate on saltwater sources.

HDT products are available for unit and agency orders from ADS, Inc.

Warrior West 21 – Warhorse Development Butcher Boy Mk 2

July 1st, 2021

The Butcher Boy Mk 2 is a versatile shooting stabilization platform from Warhorse Development.

The inspiration for this model this is the Army’s Squad Designated Marksmanship Rifle, but they offer an entire line of bags. You’ll notice the QD sling mounts which match up with the Geissele rail on the SDMR to keep it attached to the rifle.

These Berry compliant, four legged soft platforms are filled with polymer beads and can be squeezed to get the right level of support for different shooting positions. The body is 1000D Cordura and the top is HANK to keep the rifle from moving around on the platform.

One last thing that’s cool about Warhorse Development products, they’re named after actual warhorses in history. For example, Butcher Boy was one of General Grant’s horses.

Warhorse Development products are available for unit and agency orders from ADS, Inc.

Bushnell Releases New Prime 1800 Laser Rangefinder

July 1st, 2021

New LRF Serves as Milestone in Bushnell’s History of Laser Rangefinder Development

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – June 30, 2021 – Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, has announced the introduction of the newest addition to its laser rangefinder lineup – the Prime 1800. Packed with added features such as Bushnell’s all-new ACTIVSYNC™ display system that fluidly morphs from black to red readouts based on lighting conditions, the Prime 1800 builds on the success of Bushnell’s 25-year legacy of laser rangefinder development.

With its all-glass, fully multi-coated optical path and extra-large laser aperture window, the Prime 1800 boasts double the light transmission over other competitive models. The Prime 1800 has also been designed for all day viewing capability made possible by the new ACTIVSYNC display. This intuitive display feature fluidly morphs automatically from black in the daylight to red in low-light conditions so users can always see their readings, whether at sunrise, midday, or dusk. The display can even show red and black simultaneously if the environment requires it.

“In order to fully leverage the excellent 2x brightness from our laser rangefinders, we knew adding an illuminated display would give users the ability to use it throughout the entire legal hunt time,” said Derek Osburn, Director of Optics for Vista Outdoor. “However, we also knew that we wanted to go further and apply our 25-year history of laser rangefinder innovation to this feature and have done so with the new ActivSync display. This intuitive design gives you a red or black display exactly when you need it, making it even easier to get an exact distance quickly and accurately.”

The new Prime 1800 offers effective ranging capabilities out to 1,800-yard on a reflective target and can reliably range trees out to 1,000 yards or deer out to 700 yards with +/- one-yard accuracy. The Prime 1800 comes equipped with Scan mode for fast ranging, as well as near/far target modes to allow users to home in on targets while ignoring objects in the foreground and background. The rangefinder also comes equipped with ARC (Angle Range Compensation) technology for angle readings in the field.

The Prime 1800 rangefinder includes a built-in tripod mount and lanyard holes, giving users multiple setup options to keep the rangefinder secure and stable. A threaded metal battery door can be found on the bottom of the rangefinder and a CR2 battery is included so the Prime 1800 is ready right out of the box.

Backed by Bushnell’s 5-year Lifetime Ironclad warranty, the Prime 1800 rangefinder is engineered and manufactured to withstand the ultimate test of years of use in the field. The Prime 1800 carries an MSRP of $249.99 and is available now.
