Colt Optics, a new arm of the Colt-CZ Group, recently emerged and quickly secured a contract to supply its 1-6 LPVO for the Canadian Army's CMAR rifle. Led by former EOTech CEO Matt Van Haaren, the Michigan-based company is focused on professional users but is also launching its VMR line of commercial riflescopes (1-8X, 3-18X, 4.5-27X), which are shipping to distributors and expected on shelves within weeks.
