One Scope, Endless Possibilities: The Bushnell Elite 6500 Riflescope

March 31, 2008
In the hunting optics of yesterday, it used to be different scopes for different folks: close-range brush hunters called for one kind of riflescope, while open prarie long-range hunters called for another. But that was yesterday. Today, thanks to Bushnell, there is a scope that does it all.
.
The Bushnell Elite series's flagship riflescope, the Bushnell Elite 6500, is quite literally the most powerful scope on Earth. With an unheard of 6.5x magnification, the Elite 6500 series is easily the widest ranging and most versatile rifle scope in the industry. Bushnell has spared nothing on this one; this Elite 6500 riflescope boasts a whopping 2.5-16x and 4.5-30x in zoom power, giving the sportsman the ability to use a single scope for jump shooting big game to zeroing in the longest shots on the smallest of targets. No other riflescope has this kind of range, light transmission, and all-weather clarity.

The Bushnell 6500 features super-premium fully multi-coated optics for the brightest, sharpest images possible. Bushnell has also sealed this puppy with its exclusive, patented Rainguard coating, and guarantees that it's 100% waterproof, fogproof, and even shockproof. This Bushnell riflescope also features side-parallax adjustment, 3.5 inches of eye relief, top-quality manufacturing, and dry-nitrogen filled precision optics housed in a 30mm one-piece hammer-forged tube with a Bushnell Elite Bullet-Proof Warranty. Riflescopes just don't get any better than this.
.
The Bushnell Elite 6500 is superior quality at an affordable price-- easily comparable to any other riflescope in its price range. Two of the ultimately six-scope 6500 series are available now (the Elite 6500 2.5-16x42 and the Elite 6500 2.5-16x50), with the remaining four being introduced later this year.
.
For the sportsman who hunts a broad range of game at greatly varying distances, your day has come; the Bushnell Elite 6500-- one scope, endless possibilities.

By Land or Sea: Omega Aquatics Amphibian Fins are a Diver's Dream

March 20, 2008
It's one of those things that makes you wonder, "Wow, why didn't someone think of this sooner?" I'm talking about Omega Aquatics revolutionary-- and yet revolutionarily common-sense-- new Amphibian dynamic diving fins. The Amphibian "flip fins" are designed to be put on before entering the water, and make walking and climbing boat ladders as easy as doing it finless! It's all about the Aqua-Hinge mechanism: heavy duty springs push the soft blade webbing up to ride gently against the shin while strutting mammalian style, then once in the water the Amphibian diving fins kick in, literally: naturally kicking feet in the water pushes the fin down and locks it into swimming position. Pushing on the release lever upon exiting the water flips the fins back up.
.
Don't mistake Amphibian scuba fins for being just another clever creation-- these flippers are much more. The Amphibian is a high-performance scuba fin that combines power and safety that no other fin can match. Featuring a central web configuration, Amphibian Dynamic Scuba Fins increase propulsion and reduce load required for sustained kicking. Slippery rocks are no match for the Amphibian; the strong rubber grippers on the soles of these versatile fins ensure your stability. Trainers' jobs become infinitely easier, and rescue and military operations are made immeasurably safer and more efficient, making these flippers the favorite of pros and recreational divers alike.
.
If you enjoy looking like a big doofus as you trek across the beach in bungling 4-foot strides, sending sand flying everywhere and entertaining the youngsters, then by all means, you should pass on these Dynamic Scuba Fins and stick with your good old fashioned duck fins. If, on the other hand, you're tired of tripping over your flippers and clumsily struggling to get in and out of the water, then swim on over to OpticsPlanet and check out Amphibian flippers and all the other great offerings from Omega Aquatics!
.
Be stylin' in your wetsuit!
Amphibian Dynamic Scuba Fins are available in blue, black, yellow, and orange for color-coordinated flipper fashion!
Fin sizes are large and X-large; medium-sized inserts are available for large fins.

"There's gold in them thar hills!" And a Garrett Investigator CX Plus Metal Detector can help you find it!

March 4, 2008
On February 26, 2008, gold dollar prices hit a historic record high of $948.90 per troy ounce. Kind of makes you want to pull a forty-niner, doesn't it? Well, don't give up your day job just yet-- the stuff isn't exactly lying around. But what's the harm in making a hobby of hunting for it in your spare time? You don't even have to high-tail it to California! The Garrett Investigator CX Plus Ground Search Metal Detector is the best friend of modern-day treasure hunters!
.
The ultimate all-weather metal detector, the Garrett Investigator CX Plus is the successor to the famous Garrett Master Hunter CX and builds on its predecessor's superior technology with an All-Metal mode with automatic ground balancing that ensures absolute accuracy regardless of soil conditions! Select specific targets with the Garrett Investigator CX Plus's Multi-Range Discrimination mode, and know exactly what you've found before you even start to dig with the Investigator CX Plus's Graphic Target Analyzer. Even an area littered with metallic trash is no match for this Garrett metal detector; its Target ID Cursor is a pro at identifying precious hidden treasures, and it boasts a more rugged, high visibility LCD than lesser metal detectors which effortlessly reveals the detected target's identity and conductivity. An 8.5" Crossfire submersible searchcoil covers a large range with every sweep, so you don't waste valuable time going over and over the same fruitless patch of ground. A convenient earphone jack is built into the lightweight (3.8 lb.) Investigator CX Plus, and 6 C batteries are included with the machine. Unsurpassable depth detection and reliability even in the face of the toughest operating conditions make the Garrett Investigator CX Plus the only choice for serious treasure hunters! Priceless coins, jewelry, medals and more are out there, hiding under the surface... so grab a Garrett and get going! Who knows what you may find!?
