&lt;p&gt;You are going &lt;strong&gt;hunting&lt;/strong&gt;. You picked the perfect day, your license is current, and your firearm is ready. You double check your equipment and everything is in order. Despite your preperation, you come home empty-handed. Has this ever happened to you?  It does not have to. You will have a significantly easier time finding game with the&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/steiner-10x26-predator-pro-pocket-binoculars-236.html"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Steiner 10x26 Predator Pro Binoculars 236&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How do these binoculars actually help you? The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/steiner-10x26-predator-pro-pocket-binoculars-236.html"&gt;Steiner Predator Pro Binoculars&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; have some of the strongest contrast-creating &lt;strong&gt;PC-5 coating&lt;/strong&gt; available. When you peer through them, the foliage blends into the background, effectively emphasizing your targets. Unless you are hunting green parrots or iguanas (which I am assuming you are not), you will have no trouble sighting game. This gives you an enormous edge over other hunters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Steiner Predator Pro Binoculars&lt;/strong&gt; are a great choice even if you are not going hunting. Take them &lt;strong&gt;hiking&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;climbing&lt;/strong&gt;, or&lt;strong&gt; sight-seeing&lt;/strong&gt;. They are remarkably &lt;strong&gt;light-weight&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;convenient&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;durable&lt;/strong&gt;. They come with a Steiner Guarenteed Limited &lt;strong&gt;10 Year Warranty&lt;/strong&gt;. Trust me, you will not be needing it. These German-made binoculars have a strong aluminum housing and are covered with rugged armor that gives them a firm grip. They come with a very protective carrying case for maximum durability. I also love the fact that the focus knob is big, which lets your turn it even if your fingers are freezing and numb. Did I mention that they are &lt;strong&gt;waterproof&lt;/strong&gt;? That is right, the &lt;strong&gt;Steiner Predator Pro Binoculars&lt;/strong&gt; are the ultimate companion for all your adventures.&lt;/p&gt;

If it&amp;rsquo;s good enough for people  whose lives depend on SureFire&amp;rsquo;s performance, believe me, it&amp;rsquo;s good.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/surefire-handheld-flashlight-6p.html"&gt;SureFire 6P Original Compact Flashlight&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You'll be surprised how something so small can produce so much light!  Imagine 65 lumen eminating out of a 5.20 inch &lt;strong&gt;compact flashlight&lt;/strong&gt;. It's pretty intense. But, it's nothing when you use the &lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/surefire-lamp-led-conversion-kit-p61.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;P61 ultra high-output lamp&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; which will nearly double the brightness to 120 lumen. It's definitely bright enough to use for self defense and tactical purposes, as well as for daily use. Don't forget to add these &lt;strong&gt;flashlight batteries&lt;/strong&gt; to your order: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/surefire-lithium-batteries-12-box.html"&gt;Surefire 123A Lithium Batteries&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/surefire-g3l-bk-black-tactical-flashlight-quickdraw-holster.html"&gt;SureFire G3-BK Nitrolon Xenon Tactical Flashlight&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At 6.50 inches, the &lt;strong&gt;SureFire G3-BK Nitrolon&lt;/strong&gt;  fits in the palm of your hand. It's only a little larger than the 6P, but the additional size definitely packs a punch. This &lt;strong&gt;tactical flashlight&lt;/strong&gt; outputs at 105 lumen, making it one of the &lt;strong&gt;brightest flashlights&lt;/strong&gt; available for its size. It's fun to see just how far this light will shine, but don't get carried away. As if this wasn't enough, output nearly doubles when you use the &lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/surefire-lamp-led-conversion-kit-p91.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;P91 ultra high-output lamp&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to 200 lumen. Like the 6P Original Compact Flashlight, it's useful for self defense, tactical purposes, or daily use.  You will need these &lt;strong&gt;flashlight batteries&lt;/strong&gt; to operate: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/surefire-lithium-batteries-12-box.html"&gt;Surefire123A Lithium Batteries&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Happy shining! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/surefire-g2-led-flashlight.html"&gt;SureFire G2 LED Flashlight&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This one is my personal favorites because it is one of the &lt;strong&gt;best LED Flash lights&lt;/strong&gt; available. The &lt;strong&gt;SureFire G2 LED Flashlight&lt;/strong&gt; is capable of producing up to 80 lumen of light using a nearly indestructable &lt;strong&gt;LED light&lt;/strong&gt;. Here's the beauty. There's no filament to burn out, so this light will last for thousands of hours. Think about it, you'll never have to spend money replacing the bulb, and you know you won't get caught in an emergency without a working flashlight. That is, if you have batteries. Speaking of which, for long lasting use, pair the G2 light with the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/surefire-lithium-batteries-12-box.html"&gt;Surefire 123A Lithium Batteries&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.opticsplanet.com/2008/06/lighting-tactical-way-surefire.html' title='&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lighting the Tactical Way: SureFire Flashlights &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8371468408754248138&amp;postID=1456727413848719232&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.opticsplanet.com/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8371468408754248138/posts/default/1456727413848719232'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8371468408754248138/posts/default/1456727413848719232'/><author><name>OpticsPlanet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10275127612584476406</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8371468408754248138.post-6570498909117385270</id><published>2008-05-08T17:32:00.006-05:00</published><updated>2008-06-27T14:46:17.559-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Trying out the ATN Aries Night Vision Scope</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://blog.opticsplanet.com/uploaded_images/ATN-Aries-390-701440.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="149" alt="" src="http://blog.opticsplanet.com/uploaded_images/ATN-Aries-390-701394.bmp" width="177" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Looking to experiment with a new &lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/nightvision.html"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Night Vision &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Riflescope&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;? Then your best bet is the &lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/atnarmkpalni.html"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;ATN&lt;/span&gt; Aries MK390&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. This &lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/atn-riflescopes.html"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;ATN&lt;/span&gt; rifle scope&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is perfect for people new to &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;night vision&lt;/span&gt; technology. I had a chance to play around with this recently and was very pleased with the performance. It's very easy to use, the battery lasts a good long time and I had no problems seeing what I was targeting.


&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This &lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/atnarmkpalni.html"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;ATN&lt;/span&gt; Scope&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is an &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Aries MK390 Paladin Generation 1 Night Vision &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Riflescope&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and it's capable of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;shooting&lt;/span&gt; 100+ yards on medium sized game in complete darkness. Perfect for the hunter who is on a budget that doesn't want to spend thousands on a simple &lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/nightvision.html"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;night vision device&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. It's at a price point that ensures the best quality in &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;night vision optics&lt;/span&gt;.




&lt;p&gt;It has the most powerful &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;IR system&lt;/span&gt; on the market for a &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;1st generation night vision scope&lt;/span&gt;, so your target will be bright and crisp enough for you to see clearly in the dark . I had no problems mounting it to my weapon (good height for an &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;AR-15&lt;/span&gt;) and was simple to learn how to operate.




&lt;p&gt;This particular &lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/atnarmkpalni.html"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;ATN&lt;/span&gt; Aries Scope&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; has more applications than just hunting. It's perfectly suited for &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;law enforcement&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;military&lt;/span&gt; uses. High quality &lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/atn-brand.html"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;ATN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; construction ensures that it's built to last, even after heavy use in the field.




&lt;p&gt;I've had a lot of experience with &lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/atn-brand.html"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;ATN&lt;/span&gt; Night Vision&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; products and they've never let me down yet. The quality of workmanship is unparalleled compared to other consumer grade &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;night vision devices&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/atn-brand.html"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;ATN&lt;/span&gt; Optics&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; are simply the best on the market. I've never had any problems with &lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/atn-riflescopes.html"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;ATN&lt;/span&gt; rifle scopes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and I look forward to playing around with what they have coming out next.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.opticsplanet.com/2008/05/trying-out-atn-aries-night-vision-scope.html' title='Trying out the ATN Aries Night Vision Scope'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8371468408754248138&amp;postID=6570498909117385270&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.opticsplanet.com/atom.xml' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8371468408754248138/posts/default/6570498909117385270'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8371468408754248138/posts/default/6570498909117385270'/><author><name>OpticsPlanet</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10275127612584476406</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8371468408754248138.post-8705041313135983738</id><published>2008-04-08T14:20:00.009-05:00</published><updated>2008-04-08T16:56:13.486-05:00</updated><title type='text'>AccuScope Takes the Guesswork Out of Sighting Your Scope</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"AccuScope is 'MOA made simple'--&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; thing you need to know&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;is your scope's MOA number."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;Every &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/hunting-store.html"&gt;shooter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has been there: adjusting his &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/riflescopes.html"&gt;rifle scope&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; a quarter of an inch this way, another eighth of an inch that, essentially using guesswork trying to get the shot lined up just right. It's a frustrating and time-consuming dance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;Imagine a tool that could save you gobs of wasted time, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/pouches.html"&gt;ammunition&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, and needless confusion... Well fortunately you don't have to imagine any longer-- &lt;strong&gt;AccuScope&lt;/strong&gt; has now made those fancies a reality! By developing a system based on often complicated MOA mathematical concepts and taking the work out of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/lasersights.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"&gt;sighting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"&gt;, the &lt;strong&gt;AccuScope slide chart&lt;/strong&gt; greatly simplifies the process of accurately sighting your &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/riflescopes.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"&gt;scope&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"&gt;, dramatically reducing time and eliminating unnecessary expense. Simply put, the &lt;strong&gt;AccuScope sighting slide chart&lt;/strong&gt; is "MOA made simple"-- the &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; thing you have to know is your &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/riflescopes.html"&gt;riflescope&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;'s &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/how-to-choose-riflescope.html#ch12"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"&gt;MOA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"&gt; number.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

It's all about the &lt;strong&gt;Aqua-Hinge mechanism&lt;/strong&gt;: 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 &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/scuba-diving-flippers-omega-aquatics-amphibian-flip-fins.html"&gt;Amphibian diving fins&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; kick in, literally: naturally kicking feet in the water pushes the fin down and locks it into swimming position.

&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;It's amazing how helpful a good &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/flashlights.html"&gt;flashlight&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; can be. You lost your contact, you dropped your diamond earring in the car, you got caught in the basement during a black-out, you're lost in a shady area of town at night, little Timmy decided it would be fun to deposit his Matchbox cars in the floor vent-- whatever the situation, when you don't have a &lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/flashlights.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;flashlight&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; handy and you really need one, it's a very frustrating feeling. The &lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/surefire-g2-led-flashlight.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Surefire G2 LED flashlight&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; can save you from a lot of those irritating, toe-stubbing, and perilous situations. It's a palm-sized &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/tactical-flashlights.html"&gt;tactical light&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; that really packs a punch, and even if you're not &lt;strong&gt;Special Ops&lt;/strong&gt;, any parent knows that the homefront presents plenty of &lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/military-store.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;tactical&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; situations of its own.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;This &lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/surefire-flashlights.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Surefire flashlight&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; lasts literally for thousands of hours and has no filament to burn-out or break. It's virtually indestructible, made of &lt;strong&gt;Nitrolon&lt;/strong&gt;-- a tough, lightweight, abrasion-resistant, corrosion-proof polymer-- and emits a &lt;strong&gt;super bright&lt;/strong&gt;, smooth, pre-focused &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/military-store.html"&gt;tactical&lt;/a&gt; beam&lt;/strong&gt; that is four times brighter than a bulky, two D-cell &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/batteries.html"&gt;battery&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/flashlights.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;flashlight&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/surefire-g2-led-flashlight.html"&gt;Surefire G2 LED&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is &lt;strong&gt;O-ring sealed&lt;/strong&gt; and totally &lt;strong&gt;weatherproof&lt;/strong&gt;, with a patented switch lockout to prevent accidental activation and a tailcap switch for momentary-on usage when pressed, constant-on when twisted. Two 123A lithium &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/batteries.html"&gt;batteries&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; are included with this &lt;strong&gt;compact &lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/surefire-flashlights.html"&gt;Surefire flashlight&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/surefire-g2-led-flashlight.html"&gt;Surefire G2 flashlight&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is the perfect companion for your car, garage, emergency kit, basement, or purse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;
