Hawke First Focal Plane scopes solve one of the more vexing challenges of long-range sighting with constant Mil/MOA values throughout the entire power range of the scope. This is achieved by mounting the reticle forward of the erector tube and forward of the magnification lens, making the reticle appear to increase in size as magnification power increases, keeping the reticle’s holdover aim points true. The flagship Hawke Frontier line features the new technology in five-power multiple 5-25x56mm and 3-15x50mm scopes. MIL EXT Reticle was designed specifically for these scopes with half-mil spacing to 10 mil of holdover to provide precise aim points even at extreme distances. The 1/10 MRAD exposed locking turret assures precise adjustment. Infinite-range parallax adjustment side focus; fast-focus eyebell and zoom ring with thumb lever for easy adjustment; 21-layer fully multi-coated lenses for extreme clarity; glass-etched reticles with illumination at six levels of adjustable brightness with off positions in between. Ultra-strong 30mm mono tube. Long eye-relief accommodates the high-recoil of magnum calibers. The Hawke Sidewinder line offers similar performance in four-multiple variable scopes at a more budget-friendly price. MSRP for Sidewinder scopes start at $579.99; Frontier scopes start at $729.99.

Pyramyd Air teamed up with Air Venturi and Digital Wave to restore expired SCBA tanks so they can be used to safely fill PCP airgun reservoirs. Restored tanks meet all Department of Transportation safety standards. They have up to 14 years useful life remaining yet cost as much as $200 less than a comparable new tank. Airgunners can purchase higher-capacity carbon fiber tanks for less than the cost of smaller systems. Options include DIN 300 valves and fill hoses with female quick-disconnect couplings. MSRP starts at $449.99. For more information, phone: (888) 262-4867; or go online at: www.pyramydair.com

Trulock Boar Blaster Choke tightens large-pellet patterns with five parallel steps leading into the parallel section. Every brand of 00/000 buckshot tested consistently grouped pellets at least 20-percent tighter than Full choke at 40 yards. Buckshot in these sizes is more than adequate to bring down the biggest hog, and a shotgun can be the best choice in close quarters because it is designed to be swung on moving targets. The .030 constriction also consistently provided more uniform patterns than regular Full choke, and Trulock engineers noted that even though there were fewer pellets in 2-3/4-inch shells, a lethal load of those pellets consistently landed in the kill zone when using the Boar Blaster choke. Shooting the lighter shells reduces recoil, and that can also decrease recovery time for faster follow-up shots. Will fit most popular 12-gauge hunting shotguns with screw-in chokes. MSRP: $55.99.

Sightmark .380 ACP Laser Boresight is ideal for bore sighting a .380 pistol at any range from 15 yards out to 100 yards. Far more accurate than a muzzle-attached bore sight, the little laser “cartridge” chambers directly in the firearm like a normal round, providing precise alignment with the bore. Durable brass construction also assures smooth chambering and ejection. Two AG5 batteries provide 1 full hour of laser light and are included along with a carrying case. MSRP: $35.99.
