Dryshod’s Sod Buster Ready for Spring

Dryshod’s Sod Buster Ready for Spring

From Dryshod

Dryshod, the new benchmark in performance waterproof footwear for outdoor recreation and occupational use, has expanded its line of Sod Buster garden boots just in time for the upcoming spring season. The company has recently added a stylish black color to its Sod Buster ankle-height boot, providing consumers with two color choices—black or the original Moss Green.

The Sod Buster, available in ankle- or mid-height, is the perfect choice in outdoor footwear when working in wet, sloppy, muddy conditions in the garden or around the farm. Both models are built around a 4mm neoprene bootie for 100-percent waterproof performance and both feature Dryshod’s WIXIT Cool-Clad™ wicking airmesh lining with micro-dot perforations. This combination delivers the exterior protection consumers demand while allowing feet to stay cool and dry during warm-weather activity.

To ensure optimal support and traction on uneven, slippery soil, the Sod Buster comes with an aggressive DS5 premium gum rubber outsole with prominent tread blocks and deep, lateral voids that bite into loose soil and channel water and mud for maximum grip. A steel shank is included for comfortable arch support.

The Sod Buster Mid is available in Moss Green in men’s sizes 7-16. The Sod Buster Ankle comes in Moss Green or the new Black, also in men’s sizes 7-16.

CVA Announces Paramount HTR Muzzleloader in .40 and .45 Calibers

CVA Announces Paramount HTR Muzzleloader in .40 and .45 Calibers

From CVA

The PARAMOUNTTM HTR is the new addition to the PARAMOUNTTM Series for 2021. The HTR is identical to the PARAMOUNTTM except for its stock, which is a more hunting-oriented function design than the stock used on the original PARAMOUNTTM, plus it is dipped in the new Realtree® HillsideTM camo pattern. While this stock is slightly lighter than that of the PARAMOUNTTM, it still has an adjustable comb for perfect eye-to-optic alignment, and the internal aluminum chassis that provides a rock-solid foundation for the barreled action. This muzzleloader has a free floating barrel and comes with a self- deploying compact ramrod. The PARAMOUNTTM HTR is available in both .40 and .45 calibers.

Dudley McGarity, CVA’s brand manager, said, “When we first conceptualized the PARAMOUNT, we felt pretty sure that .45 would substantially outperform a .50. And it certainly did, which is why the PARAMOUNT was first introduced only in .45 caliber. It was a natural progression to try a .40 caliber, but even we were surprised at the performance those first prototypes delivered. Needless to say, we knew we were onto something that would change the way people think about the capabilities of a muzzleloading rifle.”

The rifles of the PARAMOUNTTM Series are unlike any other muzzleloading rifles on the market. These guns were specifically developed and designed to handle “super-magnum” propellant charges up to 170 grains by volume (119 by weight) of Blackhorn® 209 and thus provide muzzle velocities comparable to centerfire rifles. In fact, our newest PARAMOUNTTM PRO and PARAMOUNTTM HTR .40 caliber offerings are capable of muzzle velocities as high as 2850 FPS, producing a 400-yard drop of only 23 inches! Combine speeds like this with the precision accuracy of the nitride-treated, stainless steel Bergara Barrels®, and you have the most long-range capable production muzzleloaders ever made.

Meopta Introduces MeoPro Optika LR Rangefinding Binoculars

Meopta Introduces MeoPro Optika LR Rangefinding Binoculars

From Meopta

Meopta is pleased to introduce the MeoPro Optika LR series. Available in 10×42 HD and 8×50 HD models, these high-performance laser rangefinding binoculars quickly measure distance up to 2,600 yards and 2,950 yards, respectively.

The Optika LR’s premium European optics with HD fluoride glass and Meopta’s advanced MeoLux lens coating deliver exceptionally bright images in low light with maximum resolution and contrast. Color fidelity is true throughout the entire field of view and the MeoDrop hydrophobic coating ensures a clear view, even in the most extreme weather conditions.

The fast and accurate integrated laser rangefinder features three modes: Auto – which provides continuous ranging of moving targets. Near Ranging – which ranges the closest object in the aiming circle, and Far Ranging – which ranges the farthest object in the aiming circle to ensure an accurate reading in situations where there may be objects in the foreground, such as tree limbs or tall grass, that could interfere with a less precisely calibrated rangefinder. The two distance modes offer an advantage to those who frequently hunt in varied terrains. Incline data is also measured for accurate angle compensation in the field.

The illuminated OLED display can be set to yards or meters and features four levels of brightness control. Display readings automatically shut off after 10 seconds to extend battery life. The Optika LR also features twist-up eyecups, dual diopter adjustments, and a low battery indicator.

The magnesium alloy body and rubber armoring make the Optika LR rugged enough for use in the most brutal terrain. It is fully waterproof, shockproof, and its optical and mechanical performance is backed by Meopta’s Lifetime Transferrable Warranty.

Retail Pricing:

Optika LR 10×42 HD $1,499.99

Optika LR 8×50 HD $1,874.99

MKS Supply’s Barnaul Subsonic 9mm Ammo

MKS Supply's Barnaul Subsonic 9mm Ammo

From MKS Supply

Barnaul, the world’s leading manufacturer of precision steel-case ammunition, is now offering a new subsonic cartridge in 9mm Luger ideally suited for use with suppressors or for shooters competing in Minor Power Factor divisions.

The new Barnaul 9mm Subsonic ammunition follows the path of the manufacturer’s original Silver Sport line of Minor Power Factor ammo developed for IPSC competition but with a key change. The new ammo incorporates a slightly heavier 151-grain FMJ bullet versus the original 148-grain projectile. With an average muzzle velocity of 850 fps, the Barnaul 9mm Subsonic delivers a power factor of 128.35 from a 4.7-inch barrel, placing it just above the 125 PF minimum adopted by most shooting organizations for the minor power classes.

In addition to the new bullet weight, the Barnaul 9mm Subsonic continues with a bi-metal jacket and a steel cartridge case. To ensure consistent accuracy performance and no-fail cycling in the reduced power load, both the FMJ bullet and the case feature zinc coating for enhanced lubricity.

The Barnaul 9mm Subsonic will arrive on retail shelves by the end of March. Dealers are encouraged to contact their favorite wholesale distributor for purchasing.

Barnaul 9mm Luger (ZN FMJ151 SUB) Specifications

  • Bullet: 151 grains, FMJ zinc coated
  • Case: zinc coated steel
  • Ballistic Coefficient (G1): .231
  • Muzzle Velocity V0 ft/sec: 850 (4.7-inch barrel)

Mepro Foresight with Smartphone Is The Future Of Smart Optics

Mepro Foresight with Smartphone Is The Future Of Smart Optics

From Meprolight

The digitally advanced Mepro Foresight provides features and benefits to shooters who want the latest advances in red dot optics. Shooters across a wide range of disciplines and expertise—Self Defense, Competitive, Law Enforcement, Hunters and New Shooters—now have the opportunity to upgrade their capabilities. It is the first digitally enhanced red dot sight, providing critical real-time data to the user’s Field-Of-Vision. The reticle and data are projected onto the glass much like the heads up display a fighter pilot sees when he zeroes in on a target. The shooter who prefers a single red-dot reticle can select that option or the shooter who wants as much real-time information can load the data they prefer to the optic window.

The state-of-the-art Mepro Foresight™ includes the Meprolight® App which is unique in that its web-based-smart-phone Bluetooth connectivity allows the shooter to select and store five reticles from a large database of reticles. Scroll through menu and select the reticle that fits your need. Reticle options include 1 MOA dot and 1 MOA dot with circle. In addition to five reticles, you can store the data from 10 different weapons—rifles or shotguns. The built-in Picatinny rail attachment allows you to simply move the optic from one gun to another More importantly, it gives you confidence knowing you have already zeroed that weapon and stored the ballistic data which is vital when changing between calibers or if you use supersonic and subsonic ammo in the same caliber. The integrated light sensor automatically determines reticle brightness. The Meprolight® App features include internal compass, level/cant indicator, battery strength monitor and Bluetooth connectivity.

The Mepro Foresight™, first of its kind, provides greater technical advantages by allowing the user to utilize the Meprolight App that is included as well as free access to download the Double Shot™ — Automatic Digital Zeroing — App allowing the shooter to zero the weapon without touching the optic solving the concern of new shooters uncertain of zeroing their gun. The user starts by shooting a multi-shot group and uploading a photo of the grouping to the app. The system analyzes your mean point of impact and zeroes the weapon automatically.

Real time projected data—providing the shooter with critical ballistic data — all displayed to a wide, image-sharp, viewing window, increases your shooting capabilities by allowing you to configure the data to your needs. Like your smart phone, it is powered by a rechargeable USB-C battery.

For more information or to find your local Meprolight® Dealer, visit Meprolight US or call (717) 985-4482. You can also visit our online partners—OpticsPlanet, MidwayUSA or Focus Camera.
