“electro-optics”

Here’s an inside look at the hottest new hunting riflescopes for 2019.

Crimson Trace extends its product line to include electro-optics, which hunters will find practical for all kinds of game. Designed for use with long guns, the new compact CTS-1300 reflex sight delivers a wide field of view, provides for easy windage and elevation adjustments and weighs less than 3 ounces.

It’s a new era as the company delivers products for the hunting and sport optics market.

With the launch of its new line of BDX (Ballistic Data Xchange) rangefinders and riflescopes, SIG Sauer brings precision optics squarely into the information age, allowing for a seamless exchange of data between one’s riflescope, rangefinder and smartphone.

Here are seven of 2018’s best rangefinders for various hunting applications.

The latest tech driving hunting-scope development has given us unprecedented versatility, catlike night-vision, built-in ballistic solutions and, would you believe … plastic lenses?

SIG Sauer really earns the title of its Electro-Optics division with is new Kilo 2400 ABS Rangefinder. Don't believe us? We saw it range out to as far as 2,400 yards reliably.

SIG Sauer is known as a quality producer of military and law enforcement firearms that come at a premium price. Previously SIG had an association with the hunting market by way of its sister brands, Blaser, Sauer and Mauser, until they were separated approximately 10 years ago to serve the hunting market as stand-alone entities.

Smith & Wesson has announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire Crimson Trace for a reported $95 million.
