Leica optics for less cost. That's the promise of the new ER 5 series of scopes from this 170-year-old German company. Here are five things you need to know.

Meet Leica’s new ER 5 line of German-engineered, American-made riflescopes, which have been designed with American hunters in mind at a price point many will find much more agreeable. By manufacturing the scopes in the United States, Leica is able to save on import duties and high German labor costs, which translates to lower prices for consumers.

The world is so full of binoculars these days the choices become bewildering, especially since most hunters can’t afford to spend more than $2,000 on a super-binocular. Luckily, the quality of moderately priced binoculars keeps improving, and a good example is the new, made-in-America Trijicon HD 8x42.

Offering considerable value for the price, the Maven B.2 is an excellent binocular both mechanically and optically. The finish options provide far more allowance for individual tastes and needs than most binoculars, and Maven also offers lighter-weight B.1 and B.3 models with the same range of consumer choices.

Looking for new glass? 2016's batch of new hunting optics is pretty impressive. Here are some of the top new wares.

Need new boots? Want some new binos? Then you're in luck. For a limited time, Leica is providing consumers a complimentary pair of Kenetrek Bridger Ridge boots with the purchase of a Leica Ultravid HD-Plus or Trinovid HD full-size binocular.

Years ago Leica’s Trinovid was the binocular dream date. Crisp, sharp, clear, bright. Think of a word that describes a great binocular view and it was lavished on the Trinovid, one of the world’s top binoculars.
