#SLX

Do you know any birders? Or maybe you are a birder? Either way, if you make the mistake of referring to an avid birder as a “birdwatcher” you are definitely going to hear about it – probably in the form of high-pitch whistles or chirps. Speaking of watching things, Primary Arms has just released two new 10x binoculars. The Primary Arms SLx and GLx binoculars are $129 and $259 respectively and represent a solid value in the midrange optics world. The GLx binoculars include premium materials in exchange for a bit more weight.

Primary Arms’ popular SLx 1-6×24 SFP Riflescope is receiving its fourth generational change and release soon. The fourth generation scope will now feature new reticle options, clearer glass, improved light transmission, and even greater durability than before. Primary Arms is also aiming to keep the price of this new generation of the SLx LPVO affordable at only $339.99.

Those looking for a Low Power Variable Optic now have a new option from Primary Arms. The new model is called SLx 1-10x28mm SFP Rifle Scope, and it features a 34mm tube and has an overall length of 10.5″. The new scope has 11 different reticle illumination settings including two night vision and two daylight-bright settings and two reticles to choose from – the ACSS Raptor 5.56 M10S for the 5.56x45mm NATO and .308 Winchester cartridges or the ACSS Griffin MIL M10S offering a MIL-grid. The price is $449.99.

Primary Arms recently announced their new RS-10 Mini Reflex Sight, which is part of their ruggedized SLx optics lineup. The new SLx RS-10 miniature red dot has a 7075 aluminum housing with a 1x23mm reflex window that’s also night vision compatible. The SLx RS-10, Primary Arms’ first mini reflex sight has a reported battery life of 40,000 hours, no doubt assisted by the “autolive” function. Primary Arms describes their new RS-10 Mini Reflex Sight below.

SIG Sauer has just announced the introduction of two new rifle suppressors – the SLX and SLH. Each of the two new suppressors was developed in order to meet the requirements set out by the United States military and will feature SIG Sauer’s new Clutch-LOK QD mounting system. Both suppressors are made of Inconel and Titanium and are compatible with 300BLK, 5.56mm, and 7.62mm calibers.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves interviews Jason St. John of SIG Defense about SIG’s new 3D printed titanium and Inconel steel. SIG is going additive manufactured aka 3D-printed *only* in the future and moving forward, their rifle and pistol silencers will be 3D printed titanium or Inconel. James discusses the new line including the SIG SLH and SLX, a subsonic and supersonic-optimized pair of rifle silencers (respectively) in 5.56 or .30 cal, and the modular SIG MOD-X, a removable-baffle design pistol can coming in 9mm or .45 flavors.

Primary Arms Optics has been putting out solid scope options at a variety of price points for years now. Among their other popular products like red dots and variable-power scopes, you will find a selection of prism scopes. In July, TFB reviewed a new addition to the Primary Arms lineup: their SLx Gen III 5X optic. Our reviewer, Luke C., was generally positive about the 5x version as a budget-friendly or entry-level choice. In addition to that version, Primary Arms is also now shipping the lower-powered 3x model, and advertises both of these new iterations as upgrades over previous models. Their press release on these two prism scopes reads as follows:

There is a countdown on Tikka’s homepage. At the time of writing this article, there are 16 days and some hours left until something is going to happen. What a coincidence that the SHOT Show 2018 starts then!

The Ritter & Stark SLX precision rifle was rolled out at IWA just recently, but no one outside of Ritter & Stark has had the chance to take the rifle out to the range to get an idea what the prototype will do. In this episode of TFBTV, Patrick is still at the Ritter & Stark facility and seizes the opportunity to give TFBTV viewers the closest look anyone has had of the exciting new rifle.
