#AimpointACRO

Reptilia Corp‘s bread and butter has long been optics mounts, although they do offer a menu of other products as well, including weaponlight bodies, AR-15 grips/stocks, and more. While many of their optics mounts focus on affixing backup/CQB red dots to riflescopes, the latest model delves into the world of combat shotgunning. Beretta’s 1301 has become the first word in tactical scatterguns, and the A300 model is popular as well. More shooters than ever are opting to add red dots on their shotguns, and Reptilia aims to help. Meet their new Saddle mount, which permits the fitting of an Aimpoint ACRO or Steiner MPS onto your Beretta 1301 or A300 shotgun. Read more in the official product release announcement below.

Photo Of The Day: Some say that the Aimpoint ACRO looks like a miniature toaster, but it did rather well in TFB’s review back in 2021. Did you ever try to attach an ACRO to a handgun like the SIG Sauer P365? If you did, I assume you improved your hit probability by quite a margin, especially at longer distances?

Reptilia is an American design and manufacturing company famous for optics mounts and similar accesories. They now have a new DOT Mount for the Aimpoint® ACRO P-1 and P-2 as well as the Steiner Optics MPS red dots. The mount is 1.93″ high and made out of Type III hardcoat anodized 7075 aluminum and nitrided 4140 steel. It’s made in the USA and weighs only 60 grams.

There are so many cool optics available to us as shooters. We can have a whole box full of them, but it doesn’t do us any good if we don’t have a reliable way to mount them. Mounts also come in a variety of flavors. Colors, materials, and mount heights vary greatly from brand to brand, as well as user to user. We all run things differently, and for that reason, we need options. If you use a Trijicon MRO or an Aimpoint ACRO on your carbine, you now have two new mounting options. Arisaka Defense has released two new mounts for both optics, giving shooters the option of a 1.7″ or 1.93″ height.

Some consider the B&T APC9 to be the “Swiss watch” of pistol caliber carbines. As you may remember, the U.S. Army selected the B&T APC9 K as their New Sub Compact Weapon last year, with an initial order of 350 firearms. B&T USA have now made a limited run to commemorate the contract, which includes complete serialized cases. 333 of these are available exclusively to US-based collectors.

If you’re shooting long distances a bubble level is strongly recommended. It will help you keep your shooting platform at a horizontal level reducing the margin of error. Most of the scope mounts from Spuhr have a bubble level built-in at the bottom, shown towards the shooter. Due to its location, it can be a little difficult to spot where the bubble is, so Spuhr has developed a new version called the A-0119.

The Firearm Blog continues its mission of reviewing as many of the Schmidt & Bender PM II Riflescopes as possible. Previously we had a look at the top-seller S&B 5-25×56 PM II and the S&B 1-8×24 PM II ShortDot Dual CC, one of the few riflescopes with reticles in both planes. In this review, we’re going to take a closer look at the 3-27×56 PMII, a High Power version with an impressive 9 power magnification range. TFB’s “system” also includes a Spuhr mount and the Aimpoint ACRO C-1 red dot.

In TFB’s Photo Of The Day, old meets new, as we take a closer look at a custom EAW twist mount to make a modern Aimpoint Acro fit a Remington 700.

The Picture Of Today is a Glock 17 taking a refreshing swim, to keep it cool.
