Swarovski was on hand at the 2020 SHOT Show in Las Vegas to introduce the new Kahles Helia rangefinding monocular—precision engineered for the most serious long-range shooters and hunters.

The new Helia RF-M 7X25 is compact and ergonomically designed, with simple features and intuitive push-button operation that aids in single-handed manipulation. The rangefinder has an expansive field of view and is packed with features designed to give hunters the edge. The unit accurately measures distances out to 2,000 yards and delivers impressive edge-to-edge clarity, even when light conditions challenge the best of hunters. The field of view is 117 yards at 1,000 yards, which is incredibly helpful for tracking moving game animals.

Likewise, the unit features intuitive menu and a high-quality OLED display with five different brightness settings. Operating on a CR2 battery, the Helia has an exceptional run time of up to 4,000 individual measurements, so there’s no need to worry about running out of power even on extended hunting excursions. When you’re facing steep terrain, the Helia has Enhanced Angle Compensation to adjust for the horizontal range, as well as a scan mode, and temperature- and air-pressure-measurement capabilities.

Behind the Bullet: The .22 Long

If we could rewind the clock to 1871, before the .45-70 Government and .45 Colt existed, and when cartridges themselves were just establishing a foothold in the shooting world, you’d find a pair of .22-caliber rimfire designs: the .22 Short and the .22 Long. Aptly named, these cartridges would survive well into the 20th century, ultimately being conquered by the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. But in certain situations, the .22 Long cartridge still makes good sense, and actually has a few specialized applications.
