    Vectronix PLRF 10 Laser Rangefinder

    Just arrived! One lonely PLRF 10 looking for a good home. This is likely one of the last we'll see in country, as Vectronix seems to be done with the civilian market and discontinuing their Terrapin and entry level PLRFs.

    Night Vision Changed Special Operations

    Yes, and even back in Vietnam you had guys with starlight scopes. But the night vision today is a far cry from either of those. There are lots of other interesting points in the article, but Night Vision was the relevant part to us. ;)

    The short answer is: Yes! We're trying. After Shot Show we're trying a lot harder. After we sent TV-PP to play with the Wilcox Raptar we're trying harder still. But we don't have any certain answers yet!
