“light transmission”

SIG Sauer has expanded its Zulu9 binocular line to include a 15x56 model, which maximizes light transmission and stands up to the rigors hunters encounter in the field.

The new Tract Toric utilizes top-grade Schott HT glass lenses multi-coated with anti-reflection coatings for improved image quality and superior light transmission values. The result is enhanced contrast—crisp, bright, razor-sharp images with minimal flare and glare, even when looking at or near the rising or setting sun.

Leupold’s VX-3HD riflescopes are lightweight, rugged and well balanced, and included in the line may be the best value for a hunter looking to cover all the bases: the 4.5-14x40mm. With its 30mm main tube, this scope offers a wider range of elevation adjustment than its 1-inch counterparts, as well as better light transmission.

The Victory V8 1X-8X-30mm riflescope, lauded as the biggest of the super-zooms, offers a wide field of view (FOV); superior image quality and target resolution; 8X magnification; a 10mm exit pupil at 1X for quick target acquisition and precise shots through small openings or at close range; and 92 percent light transmission for bright, high-contrast images.

The folks at Leupold have always prided themselves on helping hunters get afield earlier and longer than ever, and for 2016 they're finally putting a name to the technology that makes their optics so darn handy in low-light situations.

Bushnell’s top-of-the-line Forge family of optics now includes a 15x56mm binocular for glassing game in wide-open terrain. The Forge 15x56 has ED Prime glass elements with Bushnell’s Ultra Wide Band anti-reflection coating, as well as the company’s EXO Barrier coating on exterior lenses to repel moisture, oils, dust and debris.

The new Styrka S5 Series binos provide hunters with high-contrast images, great clarity and resolution, and enhanced light transmission.

Burris' new model of the Veracity PH promises to take the company's wildly popular optic to an all new lever. Utilizing the PEK (Programmable Elevation Knob) system, the optic attempts to bring a whole new level of precision to the field.

Building on its existing series of T6Xi tactical riflescopes, Steiner Optics has announced the H6Xi riflescope—tailored for today's discerning big-game hunter—now with a MIL reticle for enhanced precision.
