This video from SHOT Show 2024 highlights two Nightforce 1-8x LPVOs: the NX8 and the ATACR. Both feature first focal plane designs with the FCDMX reticle, suitable for close to extended range engagements. The NX8 is noted for its compact size, ideal for sub-guns or backpacking, while the ATACR offers a larger eyebox for improved shooting in challenging conditions. Both are presented as rugged and reliable optics with daylight-bright illumination.

The Vortex Razor HD Gen 3 1-10x24 LPVO is a high-end optic targeted at military, law enforcement, and competitive shooters. It boasts a true one-power setting, daylight-bright illumination, and a first focal plane EBR-9 reticle with ranging capabilities. While offering exceptional clarity and sharpness, especially at higher magnifications, it exhibits some chromatic aberration and a relatively tight eyebox compared to lower magnification LPVOs. The turrets are tactile and resettable, and the magnification ring is exceptionally smooth.

This video showcases thermal optics by Trijicon, highlighting their use in tactical applications. The title suggests a focus on rifle scopes and their integration with firearms, possibly drawing parallels to their use in video games like Call of Duty. The content leans towards demonstrating the capabilities of advanced optics in low-light or night conditions, emphasizing their importance for shooting and observation.

This video provides a first look at Trijicon's new RMR HD and RCR red-dot optics. The RMR HD is presented as a next-generation, ruggedized version of the SRO, featuring a large lens, forward-extended housing, top-loading battery, and new electronics like an automatic illumination adjustment sensor. It also offers selectable reticles (dot or segmented circle-dot). The RCR is an enclosed-emitter sight that maintains the RMR footprint and uses unique capstan-style screws. Guns & Ammo was present at the launch and is currently testing these optics, offering viewers a comprehensive overview of their features and initial impressions.

This episode of Gun Talk Nation features Travis Gibson of MGM Targets discussing how competitive shooting drives innovation in firearms accessories. Key topics include the widespread adoption of red dot sights, the evolution and benefits of Low Power Variable Optics (LPVOs) with switch view levers, and the development of specialized targets for precision rimfire shooting. Gibson highlights how advancements initially seen in competition are now benefiting law enforcement and civilian shooters.

This episode of Gun Talk Nation features Steiner Optics, discussing their product lines and the evolving landscape of optics in law enforcement and civilian markets. Mick Otto and Jordan Eagle highlight Steiner's history in binoculars and their expansion into rifle scopes and other tactical gear. The conversation emphasizes the increasing adoption of magnified optics and red dot sights by law enforcement for enhanced target identification and engagement at various distances.

This video provides an overview of EOTech holographic sights, highlighting their advanced technology and performance benefits. Key features discussed include their internally sealed, fog, and weather-resistant construction, making them suitable for all-weather conditions. The holographic reticle technology, which uses lasers and mirrors, is explained, emphasizing its integrity in bright light and against challenging targets compared to prism or reflex sights. The larger viewing area and unlimited eye relief are noted as significant advantages for target acquisition and shooter flexibility, even when losing cheek weld. The video also touches on battery options and the ruggedness of EOTech sights, explaining their prevalence in military and law enforcement applications.

This video introduces two new Aimpoint optics: the Duty RDS, designed for law enforcement with a focus on durability and affordability, and the ACRO P-2, an updated enclosed emitter pistol optic. The Duty RDS features a pressure-forged case, capless adjustment turrets, and 30,000 hours of battery life. The ACRO P-2 improves on the original with a CR2032 battery and a redesigned pressure pad to prevent accidental activation during holstering, maintaining its enclosed emitter design for enhanced reliability and intuitive aiming.

This review of the Trijicon MRO highlights several significant drawbacks despite its reputable brand and competitive price point. Key issues include a misleading battery life claim, insufficient brightness settings for various lighting conditions, and a 'toilet bowl' design that introduces noticeable parallax and poor night vision performance. While functional, the MRO's compromises make it less appealing compared to other options on the market for users who require robust performance.
