Day 3 at SHOT Show
I only schedule meetings the first 3 days so I can walk the show on day 4 to see what I can see and maybe find that new to us special something to add to the lineup. Today was a light day.
Last year we added Armasight high end Thermals. For top quality, extensive options and features, Armasight is where you should be looking. I was shown four new Armasight thermals....
The Contractor 320 Lite 2-8x25mm Thermal Weapon Sight - The Contractor Thermal Weapon Sight is built for maximum field performance, featuring the advanced ArmaCORE 12 Micron Sensor for superior visual clarity and precision. Its compact, lightweight housing offers enhanced portability without sacrificing durability, while the innovative sensor provides improved resolution and a 35% reduction in power consumption, ensuring up to four hours of continuous use on just two CR123 batteries, which will be ready to ship in early February.
The Operator 640 Thermal Clip-on - The Operator Thermal Clip-On is a powerful addition to any military, law enforcement or hunter’s toolkit. Mounting effortlessly in front of your 1-6x day scope with no need for re-zeroing, it’s ready for action right out of the box. Equipped with a 35 mm germanium lens and the ArmaCore 640x480 thermal sensor, it provides clear imagery and a detection range of up to 1300 meters — even in complete darkness, fog, smoke, and harsh weather.
Commander 640 Thermal Weapon Sight - The Commander 640 delivers powerful thermal imaging in a compact, lightweight design, keeping you agile across platforms—from .50 cal to rimfire, airgun, and crossbow. Designed for medium to short-range applications needing high-caliber stopping power, it’s powered by Armasight’s Iron Wolf technology and the ArmaCORE™ 640x480 thermal sensor, providing sharp, high-contrast visuals with a 1300-meter detection range. Built to withstand harsh conditions, it’s IP67 waterproofrated for durability in any environment.
Warden 640 Thermal Monocular - The Warden 640 delivers precision and power in a compact, lightweight design, keeping users agile across applications like scouting, search and rescue, surveillance, hunting, and law enforcement. With a wide 22° x 18° field of view, it efficiently scans large areas. These 3 units will be available to ship in March.
In the past year we have shared with you how amazing, and diverse the selection of Sightron Riflescopes are. From their hunting line of S1 and S-TAC Series up through their S6, SIII & SIII Long Range, Field Target and SV Series Sightron has all your needs covered. As one of the only Pacific Rim scope companies with nothing made in China, all their scopes are made in the Philippines and Japan, they offer a fantastic line you need to check out.
They have an outstanding line of Field Target Scopes - The 30mm one-piece tube design features Sightron's Zact-7 Revcoat® multi-coated optical grade glass lenses which are precisely aligned to ensure maximum light transmission, color accuracy, and clarity. The tactical turrets provide tactile and audible clicks. Parallax adjustment is controlled via the side focus knob and will focus from 10 to 300 yards.
Their S6 1-6x24 is available in SFP & FFP. Sightron’s engineers gave thoughtful consideration in designing a LPVO (low power variable optic) to meet the demanding needs of 3-gun competitors, tactical operators and close-range hunters. First, using the finest Japanese glass combined with Sightron’s exclusive MC-777 lens multi-coating, gives the shooter amazing clarity, contrast, and excellent light transmission all while reducing flare. This and combined with Sightron’s Precision Focus Eyepiece which provides comfortable eye-relief and a generous sight picture gives the shooter an uninterrupted sight of the target under varying lighting conditions. In those challenging lighting situations, another aid to help the shooter acquire their target is the 11-position illumination dial with off positions between each setting allowing the shooter to quickly set their desired intensity.
Last series I want to shine some light on is their SVIII 5-40x56 ED. It features ED Glass, a new internal zero-stop mechanism, and a First Focal Plane illuminated reticle. Designed for long range target shooting and hunting, the scope provides 20 MILS of windage and 40 MILS of elevation with .1 Mil tactical knobs. The windage and elevation knobs have 10 MILS per revolution. The new 40 mm body tube is waterproof, shockproof and nitrogen charged. Minimum focus is 10 meters.

The brand that has shaken the industry up with their come out of nowhere, grassroots marketing, scope quality and low pricing is Arken. They've stirred up the industry by taking market share away from many of the household brand names. Tacticool designed FFP riflescopes with amazing quality turrets at prices that are way below the features being offered elsewhere Arken has certainly earned the right to the amount of scopes they are getting out to the public. I was thrilled to finally put a face to the voice of my rep. We chatted a bit and caught up. Nothing new with them in scopes at this time. Just a continuation of great scopes priced below what you'd expect.
I stopped by the Leofoto USA booth to take a lookiesee. I've heard great things and we began discussions on becoming a dealer. Please share your thoughts with me through PM or e-mail. I'd appreciate it. Thanks
