Mystery Ranch has announced the all-new Metcalf Series, an expansion of the company’s most popular hunting pack of all time.

The Metcalf has been tested countless times by thousands of dedicated western big game hunters. It’s a pack that answers the call when failure in the backcountry isn’t an option. The Metcalf will now consist of three new pack sizes ranging from 50 to 100 liters. These packs will rest on the new Ultra Light MT frame, a piece of engineering and design that is unmatched in its category.

“How do we improve one of the most popular hunting packs on the market? It wasn’t an easy task, but we pulled it off,” said Tim Hoffer, Hunting Sales Manager at Mystery Ranch. “The Ultra Light MT Metcalf series kept every hunting-focused feature required, but we streamlined the frame, lightened up the textiles and now offer up three volume options, so you are covered from long day hunts all the way to super remote hunts where you are living out of your pack for days on end. And we cut out unnecessary weight, so you can go farther, faster.”

The Metcalf 50, 75 and 100 are rich in features with interior and exterior attachment points for customization. The series sports a roll-top closure with one side zip to allow easy access to large items. Zippered pockets on the lid are just where you need them, creating secure and simple access to smaller accessories.

The Ultra Light MT frame is a minimalistic platform focused on functionality and in the field comfort. Mystery Ranch’s lightest hunting frame to date was achieved by tapering the bottom width and streamlining the waistbelt. The frame also has a higher OVERLOAD® shelf for more balanced pack outs and a taller frame height with micro-adjustable load lifted points. This frame offers everything you need for the backcountry and nothing you don’t.

The new Metcalf Series will also offer new colorways that the company has recently introduced. It will be available in Foliage and Subalpine, with updated options of “Buckskin”, and “Ponderosa”. Both Men’s and Women’s sizing and frame options are available.

The new Leica Calonox 2 series of thermal optics redefines thermal imaging technology by combining high performance, precision engineering and modularity with Leica’s renowned advanced rangefinding capabilities. Both Calonox 2 Sight and View models have the option of an onboard laser rangefinder to increase ethicality and accuracy with this cutting-edge technology. The clip-on Calonox 2 Sight model offers a unique zeroing free, plug and play solution that makes switching a thermal optic between rifle platforms the easiest it has ever been with this technology.

The Calonox 2 range of products are meticulously designed and manufactured in Germany, using exclusively European high-quality components. By only using these top-tier components combined with Leica’s precision manufacturing, the Calonox 2 range of thermal optics achieve the legendary standard Leica’s customer’s demand.

The entire Calonox 2 range of thermal optics have distinct advantages over traditional night vision. Calonox 2 can be utilized during the day as well as in complete darkness. There is no longer a need for low levels of light or IR enhancers as the thermal sensor detects the slightest variation in temperature of an animal and its surroundings, offering distinct advantages when identifying naturally camouflaged wildlife during the day, or the darkest of nights.

The Calonox 2 range also incorporates an optional built-in laser rangefinder so hunters are able to dramatically increase the accuracy of their night hunting. Hunters already invested in a night hunting solution can add the Calonox 2 View (LRF) to their set up to add a thermal rangefinding solution and enhance their ethicality.

The modularity of the Calonox 2 Sight unit is unsurpassed when used as a clip-on to a traditional riflescope or as a Picatinny rail attachment in front of a riflescope. The precise placement of the sensor in relation to the objective lens and display screen has eliminated the need to recalibrate or re-zero. The resulting unlimited flexibility allows the Calonox 2 to be switched between multiple bolt guns, gas guns and even rimfire. Hunters no longer are limited to a single platform night hunting system.

Legal notice: When using thermal imaging technology, please observe the specific legislation for your State.
