Rifle mode provides bullet=drop/holdover data in inches from 100-600yds. Standard SCAN, BullsEye & Brush modes. Waterproof, fogproof. Fully muli The Bushnell Elite 1500 rangefinder features Bushnell's exclusive Angle Range Compensation (ARC) technology, which accounts for terrain angle to give you an accurate "shoots-like" distance-all with the tap of a button. A Bow mode provides true horizontal distance from 5 to 99 yards, while the Rifle mode provides bullet-drop/holdover data in inches from 100 to 800 yards. This rubber armored rangefinder also features a built-in inclinometer, fully multi-coated optics, twist-up eyepiece, and built-in tripod mount Rubber armor provides multiple benefits. It helps protect the rangefinder from the bumps and scratches that come with day-to-day use. It provides a comfortable gripping surface for making them easier to hold on to. [+]It's easy to wipe clean after a tough day in the field. And it suppresses noise if the device bumps aluminum or other non-rubber surfaces, which might otherwise spook wildlife. Targeting Modes Bow: Provides true horizontal distance from 5 to 99 yards based on angle. Rifle Mode: Select the ballistic group of your firearm (guidelines supplied). When you range your target, an inclinometer displays the angle and provides bullet-drop/holdover in inches (up to 99") from 100 to 600 yards. SCAN: Allows you to pan across the landscape while viewing a continuously updated LCD display of the distances between you and the targets you scan. BullsEye: Geared for close-range use, this mode acquires the distances of small targets and game without inadvertently measuring background target distances. When more than one object is acquired, the closer of the two objects is shown on the LCD display. Brush: Ignores the foreground, such as brush, boulders and tree branches, and provides distances on the LCD display to background objects only. Specifications Magnification: 7x Objective lens: 26mm Range: 5 to 1500 yards Field of view: 340 feet @ 1000 yards Eye relief: 19mm Battery type: 9 volt Weight: 12. 1 ounces Dimensions: 1. 7 x 5. 1 x 3. 7 inches Range Reflective: 1600 yards Tree: 1000 yards Deer: 500 yards Flag: 400 yards Accuracy: ± 1 yard How a Laser Rangefinder Works Bushnell's Yardage Pro rangefinders use an invisible, eye-safe Class 1 Laser beam (as classified by the FDA) which is "bounced" off distant objects with the press of a button. Then, the rangefinder's high-speed digital clock measures the time it took for a laser beam to reach a target and return to the unit. Next, using advanced digital electronics, the rangefinder instantly calculates the distance within ±1 yard and shows the range in either yards or meters on a through-the-lens LCD Display. The entire process is so fast that less than a second elapses between the time you press the button to generate a laser beam to the time the exact range to your target is displayed. |

- Great for game-spotting, search and rescue, camping, hunting, nature viewing
- Hand carry, 1/4" rifle mount, 1/4" tripod or head mount
- Model: Yukon Advanced Optics 4x50 Night Vision Monocular(24027) + 10.5" Hunting Knife + firesteel fire Starter Includes hand strap, carrying case, and lens cover
Review Yukon Advanced Optics 4x50 Night Vision Monocular(24027) + 10.5" Hunting Knife + firesteel fire Starter Includes hand strap, carrying case, and lens cover / yukon advanced optics:From the Manufacturer We've engineered these multifunctional units to quickly evolve from hand-held unit to monocular goggle or rifle scope. This unit's impressive magnification and light-gathering ability is great for night-vision photography, game-spotting, and surveillance. A longer objective lens (50mm) than either our 2x24 base model or the 3x42, this monocular gives you 4x visual magnification with just starlight. It operates by amplifying existing light using an electro-optical system. Its lenses have improved wavelength/contrast characteristics to help maximize light utilization. This scope does not require any artificial light source for quality viewing. However, we've added an infrared illuminator that enhances viewing in many applications. Our exclusive infrared lighting system provides the maximum possible infrared output, but allows the illuminator diode to pulse to protect the IR from burning out. This pulsing is invisible to the human eye, but it means that the illuminator can penetrate longer distances due to the quick energy bursts of the IR. The NVMT is ruggedly constructed, in a compact, lightweight, water-resistant composite housing. [+]Its ergonomically-friendly body is rubber-armored and comes with a padded corduroy carrying case, carrying strap and innovative lens cover. The entire unit is self-contained and can operate for up to 20 hours on a CR 123R battery at temperatures from -22 degrees F to 104 degrees F. Two 1/4" mounts allow it to be used for a head mount or as a riflescope. It can even be coupled with an exclusive rifle mount/laser system that brings it right to the top of the newest generation of compact night vision riflescopes. Or adapted to digital camera use. The 4x50 NVMT is great anywhere you need to see in a dark setting - game spotting, trekking, nature viewing, search and rescue, or hunting. 3 year manufacturer's warranty. |

- 1000mm Focal Length
- Slow Motion Adjustment Cables
- Comes with aluminum tripod and accessory tray
- Fully multi-coated lenses
- German Equatorial Mount
- Model: Celestron FirstScope 90EQ Telescope
Review Celestron FirstScope 90EQ Telescope / Celestron 21085:The FirstScope 90 EQ is a good choice for the more serious beginning astronomer. The setting circles and slow motion controls on the R. A. and DEC. axes allow for greater control in both locating and tracking objects, making this equatorial telescope one you can grow with over time as your observing interests expand. These telescopes have all glass components, coated optics and smooth functioning mounts, with the added benefit of slow motion controls on the mount for easy adjustments. The FirstScope 90 telescope tubes are glossy black aluminum. The German equatorial mount features setting circles and slow motion controls on the R. A. and DEC axes. [+]These controls will enhance your viewing experience by simplifying both locating and tracking objects. When you're looking for a telescope offering a bit more versatility and control than the altazimuth models, these are the telescopes to consider. The equatorial mount is larger and more rugged than the one supplied with the FirstScope 60's. The tripod is also larger and more rugged than offered on the 60mm sizes or on most competitive 90mm models. The achromatic optics are made to Celestron's exacting specifications and are quite excellent. The standard accessories for this telescope add up to a highly desirable viewing instrument that performs superbly. Celestron's Firstscope 90EQ refractor telescope is a good choice for anyone who wants to try out astronomy at an affordable price, and it can double as a high-power spotting scope. Standing five feet high and weighing nearly 30 pounds, the Firstscope 90EQ is a serious sized achromatic refractor. Achromatic refractors occupy a middle ground between 60mm beginner scopes and premium-priced Apochromatic refractors. A quarter moon seen through the Celestron Firstscope 90EQ and photographed with a Celestron NexImage. (See larger image. ) Refractors are known for their sharp, high-contrast views of the moon and planets, and the Firstscope 90 includes everything you need to get sharp views of the moon right out of the box. The low-power 20mm eyepiece (50x) shows a nice overall view of the moon, while the 10mm eyepiece (100x) can be used to zoom in for more detail. When the quarter moon is in the sky, I like to look for detail along the "terminator," the dramatic boundary between bright sunlight and dark shadow. Brighter deep-space objects also show up nicely in the Firstscope 90. On a moonless night, I like the way the 20mm eyepiece frames the ghostly glow of the Orion nebula. Zooming in with the 10mm eyepiece, I can easily pick out all four stars of the Orion nebula's embedded multiple star, the Trapezium. The moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn are easy to see with the 10mm eyepiece (100x). With careful focusing, I was even able to detect the Cassini division in Saturn's rings using my own Ultima 7. 5mm eyepiece. Low-cost refractors like the Firstscope 90 can be troubled by false color and spherical aberration, but I find these effects are well controlled at moderate powers. When I look at Jupiter and Saturn at magnifications over 100x however, the images are not as sharp as the ones I see with my C102HD refractor. The telescope can also double as a spotting scope. (Image taken with the Meade Autostar Suite. )(See larger image. ) The equatorial mount included with the Firstscope 90EQ is designed to track stars and planets. When I set up the telescope, I simply point the polar axis at Polaris, the North Star. This allows me to keep celestial objects in view by turning one slow-motion knob, and an optional motor drive is available for hands-free tracking. Celestron also offers the Firstscope 90AZ, which is the same telescope with an alt-azimuth mount. The standard equipment Kellner eyepieces are just average quality; I'd add a 32mm plossl like the one in Celestron's optional accessory kit to bring out the full view of deep space highlights like the Pleiades. You'll also want some star charts to help find planets and star clusters; I like the monthly star charts and viewing tips in Night Sky magazine. -Jeff Phillips Pros: High-contrast views of the moon and planets Durable, low-maintenance design Can double as a spotting scope Cons: Eyepiece quality just average Equatorial mount can be awkward to use Planet views over 100x are a little soft 90mm is a bit small for deep space viewing. |
