Introducing the C1 Max from Badger Ordnance

January 12th, 2022

The C1 Max is the latest edition to our Condition One Modular Mount lineup. The C1 Max was designed ground up with the precision rifle shooter in mind. Borrowing from and blending our Max 50 Scope Ring and C1 Modular Mount designs, the C1 Max has 1” wide, six screw ring caps for increased coverage and clamp force on your optic.

The C1 Max also uses a low profile hardened steel clamp foot and four machined #10 crossbolts with low-pro T20 heads to ensure your mount stays put under the harshest recoil and conditions. The C1 Max has no forward cantilever for those who find cantilevered designs difficult to achieve eye relief with some optic and short action rail combos.

The C1 Max is compatible with most of the full line of C1 accessories and attachments (there are specific ARC and ACD models for C1 Max) and offers the full range of modularity and customization the Condition One Modular Mounts are known for.

Currently offered in 34mm, 35mm, and 36mm with heights of 1.30” and 1.54” tall with 0 and 20 MOA variants for all.

The rugged design, positive adjustment clicks, battery installation, on/off switch, control of illumination, and the waterproof design has the tactical advantages over of the optics currently on the market.

The advanced lens coating and electronic LED combination produces a crisp red dot for target contrast regardless of your lighting conditions. The BMR is IXP-7 rated and is fully sealed and nitrogen-purged to prevent fogging. The digital brightness control is designed with 8 brightness setting. The BMR is powered by a side-loading CR1632 battery and features positive clicks adjustment at 1 MOA per click.

Amer Sports Develops its Brand Portfolio – Divests Suunto to Liesheng

January 12th, 2022

Amer Sports and Liesheng ? a leading Chinese technology company focusing on the smart & sport wearables electronics segment ? have agreed on a transaction in which Amer Sports divests Suunto to Liesheng.

Amer Sports’ strategy is to focus on developing internationally recognized sporting-goods brands within the lifestyle, apparel, and footwear segments, shifting more business to D2C (direct-to-consumer) channels, as well as enhancing its presence in large markets such as China and the US.

“We see tremendous potential with all of our brands. Suunto, as a manufacturer of world-renowned sport watches, dive computers and precision instruments, is not in the core focus of Amer Sports. After a careful review, we have concluded that an owner such as Liesheng, with its foundation in technology and R&D, is desired to unlock the full potential of Suunto. We believe that this transaction is a good fit for all parties,” says Michael Hauge Sørensen, Chief Operating Officer of Amer Sports.

Founded in Guangdong, China in 2015, Liesheng is an innovative global consumer-electronics company with its products being sold in more than 100 countries around the world, and serving tens of millions of users. It is ranked top globally in the wireless audio field and has successfully developed the consumer electronics brand Haylou. Liesheng has also continued to explore consumer healthcare, IOT and big data.

With innovation at its core, Liesheng obtained the national high-tech enterprise certification in China in 2017. It has an extensive R&D team in which some 60% of its employees operate. Liesheng’s annual investment in R&D also far exceeds the industry average.

“The acquisition of Suunto is an important part of our growth strategy, and we see great synergies between the two companies. As a global consumer-electronics company, Liesheng offers Suunto unique technological advantages in product development, centralized sourcing, and access to wider international markets, especially in Asia. For Liesheng, Suunto offers access to new markets and product categories, in addition to Suunto’s strong brand heritage,” says Ma Hao, Chairman of Liesheng.

Liesheng has indicated that Suunto will continue to run its operations from Vantaa, Finland and Suunto’s brand, products, services, business relations and employee statuses will remain unchanged after the transaction.

“Suunto has developed into an iconic global brand in outdoor sports and adventure under the ownership of Amer Sports. I’m excited to start the next phase of our journey and join forces with Liesheng. Our operations complement each other well, with no overlapping products and markets. Having a focused and successful wearables-industry player as Suunto’s owner will help power Suunto’s growth and broaden our shoulders in innovating fit-for-purpose products for outdoor adventures,” says Heikki Norta, CEO and Brand President of Suunto.

The closing of the transaction is subject to authority and other required approvals and fulfillment of certain commercial conditions. The parties have agreed not to disclose the transaction details. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2022.

Rothschild & Co acted as financial advisor and Avance as legal advisor to Amer Sports.
