“zoom”

The new Tactacam 5.0 features an improved 8X zoom, new image stabilization technology that takes the “shock” out of the shot and lets you capture crystal-clear footage in Ultra HD 4K resolution, and live streaming capabilities.

Bushnell has introduced two new night vision binoculars in the company's Equinox Z product line. The digital night vision bios are designed to offer top-of-the-line optical clarity, illumination and field of view. Both units will feature digital zoom, image capture and video recording abilities.

Steiner has expanded its line of hunting riflescopes with the release of Predator 8 series optics. Boasting 8X zoom, the Predator 8 riflescopes join the Steiner Predator 4 series to provide discerning big-game hunters versatility and precision.

Leupold has announced the launch of a brand-new Mark 4HD family of riflescopes. The Mark 4HD series features a 4:1 zoom ratio and five magnification ranges, yielding an accurate and reliable option for close-quarter targeting, long-range dominance and everything in between.

Built for accuracy and quick target acquisition in the most extreme environments, the X3 Primal 3X-15X-44mm is a 30mm main-tube, 5X zoom range scope covering magnifications for hunting anything short of lions and buffalo leaping out of the brush at 10 yards or less.

Riflescopes with parallax adjustments, illuminated reticles, 8X zoom ranges and turrets dialing past 1,500 yards are impressive, but do we really need that to still-hunt whitetails in Ohio farmland or chase elk at 8,000 feet in Idaho? An optic like Leupold’s new VX-3i 3.5X-10X-40mm with the Boone & Crockett ballistic reticle is likely better suited for most hunters’ needs. This 12.6-ounce scope, a reengineered upgrade from the previous VX-3, is bright, sharp, slim and extremely reliable.

SIG Sauer has added another scope line to its Ballistic Data Xchange (BDX) family of products.

Toward the end of last year, Zeiss announced the release of its DTI 3/35 thermal imaging camera, designed specifically for hunting. It combines a high-resolution display that delivers detailed images, with a well-balanced, ergonomic design.

SIG Sauer has expanded its optics line, and had its latest releases on display at the 145th NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits in Louisville.
