#ScopeMount

We have earlier reported about the Elevated Technologies sight mount system called The Slide. Initially, this mount was available for the Trijicon MRO and Aimpoint red dot optics. During the SHOT Show 2018, the company introduced new versions of The Slide mount designed for the Trijicon RMR and Leupold DeltaPoint Pro sights.

Safe Shoot is an Israeli company that was showing their device off at the Next booths. The device is a picatinny or scope mounted block, that electronically links up with blocks or transmitters on other rifles or just about anything you want to mount it on (if you can). The concept is brutally simple: Whenever the device is pointed within a certain arc of another device, a rearward facing mini screen lights up red. When it isn’t pointed in that direction, the screen remains blank. The first option obviously means it is pointing at another device and thus another shooter (or game dog), and the second option means there is a clear field of fire only when concerning the people in the party that have a device on.

Chris Bartocci of Small Arms Solutions LLC just released a video, where he reviews a pre-production prototype of a new Otis Technology drop-in AK rail.

Lever-action rifles are fantastic guns whether you’re interested in a walk down Wild West memory lane, looking for a new hunting rifle, or just want a good gun for target practice. Of course, they can also be harder to outfit when it comes to after-market parts, especially optics. If you’re interested in mounting a scope on your lever-action rifle there’s something new from Skinner Sights, LLC, that just might make your life a little easier: the Skinner Express lever-action scope base.

Leupold has released an app (iOS only for now) that helps you figure out an appropriate mounting solution for your firearm and scope.
