MARCH SCOPES

March is launching two new models. The 1.515x42mm FFP scope (SRP: $3,050) produces a bright high-resolution image. It is also lightweight and compact and is designed for hunting and for precision semiauto platforms. Features include Shuriken-shaped lockable turrets and a 34mm tube. The 8-80x56mm SFP High Master Scope (SRP: $4,500) is an entirely new scope. It has a 25-degree wide-angle eyepiece, which is 25 percent wider than the standard 20 degrees, giving the shooter a wider field of view. This riflescope is equipped with Super ED lenses that can handle mirage better than ED lenses. Booth #10222

MEOPTA

The new MeoSight IV red dot reflex sight (SRP: $299) weighs just 1.2 ounces and has an ultra-low profile, making it ideal for handguns. The sights feature a 3 MOA dot with five adjustable illumination levels and is powered by a commonly found CR1632 battery for up 30,000 hours of use. Booth #10124

SCHMIDT AND BENDER

The 3-18x42mm is a compact, powerful, and versatile hunting riflescope. (SRP: $3,329-$4,002, depending on reticle and turrets.) The design combines superb image quality with a great field-of-view along with extremely high light transmission. Features include an SFP illuminated LP7 reticle. New to the PM II High Performance series is the 6-36x56mm (SRP: $4,540-$$5,530, depending on reticle and turrets). It is a great option for mid- to extreme-long-range shooting. This compact, lightweight scope is equipped with the new LPI illumination and a stacked knob for parallax and illumination brightness. The illumination control is the smaller, outermost knob. It uses a simple and clean P5FL reticle based on the military sniper P4FL reticle. The 1-8x24mm PM II ShortDot Dual CC (SRP: $5,460-$5,780, depending on reticle and turrets) combines an illuminated red dot in second focal plane with a first focal plane tactical reticle. The sweet spot for this scope is both close-combat and mid-range use. Use the red dot sight for quick engagement for close targets while the mil-dot-based reticle can be used for accurate ranging and compensation for hold-offs and holdunder/over at distance targets.

PARD

The DS35 is the first digital scope to use a new 800x800 circular LTPS display that provides a natural viewing experience such as that found with a conventional scope. The CMOS sensor and a lux rating of .0001 help deliver incredible resolution, and the integrated ballistic calculator assists in accurate shot placement. The patented lens cap provides a free focus design that allows the user to shoot with the lens cap on; this is done by viewing through a small hole that controls light transmission through the scope.

The 100mm eye relief provides comfort as well as safety from rifle recoil. An integrated 1,200-meter laser rangefinder accurately calculates range distances, and the IR light is effective up to 350 meters. The self-activated video recording provides the user with the ability to save 20-second video clips to the on-board TF card. Multiple image modes provide adaptability to a variety of environments, and the multi-function control knob allows the user to quickly change between functions.

The entire device is rated IP67 waterproof, and WiFi connectivity to an Android or IOS device is provided. The DS35 offers six digital reticles and two colors to personalize to your individual needs. SRP: $999. Booth #43123

The user-selectable frame rate, adjustable from 30/60/90 fps, offers imperceptible latency to adapt between moving or stand-and-stare operations. OPSIN is durable and lightweight at only 10.6 ounces.

The Small-Frame Autoloading Rifle, or SFAR™, chambered in 7.62 NATO / .308 Win., combines the ballistic advantages of .308 Winchester with the size of a traditional MSR. The smaller of the two initial configurations of this rifle features a 16’’ barrel model and weighs in at just 6.8 pounds unloaded. By utilizing superior materials and engineering, the SFAR™ is bigger and stronger where it needs to be and remains smaller and lighter than comparable .308-sized rifles.

With a mission to create innovative, solution-oriented hunting and shooting sports optics and accessories, Leapers understands the need to deliver quality, value, and service to all of its cus-

tomers. At the same time, the manufacturer also understands the importance of putting new product into the pipeline. And that’s exactly what it is doing at SHOT Show 2023.

“We’re excited to announce the launch of two unique brands of optics in 2023: INTEGRIX and ACCUSHOT PRO,” says founder David Ding. “These two additions will reach new as well as current customers alike with a streamlined tier structure and greater access to products that fit each and everyone’s lifestyle, shooting discipline, and level of experience. Concurrently, Leapers is also introducing at SHOT Show 2023 our first billet AR upper and lower receivers, both of which are manufactured at our headquarters in the UTG PRO manufacturing center in Livonia, Michigan.”

INTEGRIX, Leapers’ new line of premium optics, starts with the end user. According to Ding, intensive market research and numerous discussions with users from a variety of areas— including sports shooters from different disciplines, hunters from different nations, and users in the police and military—make it possible to recognize the constantly changing and growing requirements for optics.

“To hit the target with pinpoint accuracy over long distances, optics with maximum resolution, high light transmission, and extreme repeatability are required,” he says. To that end, he cites what he calls “The INTEGRIX Difference,” the product features that sets this new line part from the competition. These features include individually centration-tested German and Japanese glass; multi-coated lenses for glare, reflection, and scratch resistance; lowaberration optimized image quality; edge-toedge sharpness and high contrast; red and green reticle illumination with eight brightness-intensity settings; and intuitive lockable and zeroresettable windage and elevation turrets, serrated and oversized for glove use. Last, but certainly not least, the operational temperature range of the INTEGRX line is an impressive -40 degrees F. to 160 degrees F.

In all, there are five available models, divided into three categories. The INTEGRIX LPVO consists of the iX8 1-8X28; the INTEGRIX Mid Power consists of the iX4 3-12X50, iX6 2-12X36, and iX6 3-18X44; and the INTEGRIX EL/ELR consists of the iX6 4.5-27X56. All are first focal plane scopes.

“Value” lines sometimes can simply be a way for a manufacturer to move underwhelming product. You won’t see that attitude at Leapers. The new ACCUSHOT PRO All-Around Performance line is a mid-tier brand that offers shooters well-crafted and competitively priced products.

“Leveraging qualities from our premium INTEGRIX scopes and fully utilizing over 30 years of experience, this is our most well-rounded and balanced brand of scopes having optimized functionality, feature set, and build quality at a fair price,” says Ding. “Every step from design, manufacturing, and build assembly through precision inspection and scenario testing embraces our ‘The Best Never Rest’ motto. Each of these steps embraces our commitment to provide new product options with higher standards every year. Augmented optical performance, mechanical integrity, and repeatability, as well as sleek functional aesthetics, can all be had with ACCUSHOT PRO.”

Features of this line include multi-coated lenses for optimized image quality; sharp, 90-percent light transmission with high-definition clarity and contrast; red and green reticle illumination with 10 brightness-intensity settings; 5,000-plus hours of battery life with 12-hour automatic shutoff; and a serrated adjustable eyepiece diopter and power ring. And, like the INTEGRIX line, operational temperature range is an impressive -40 degrees F. to 160 degrees F.

There are three available models. The ACCUSHOT PRO LPVO consists of the AS6 1-6X24. The ACCUSHOT PRO Mid Power consists of the AS3 3-9X36 and AS4 3-12X24. All three are first focal plane scopes.

Within Leapers’ UTG PRO Livonia manufacturing facility is a machine shop floor lined with worldclass CNC, injection-molding, and robotic-automation machines. There is also an in-house Cerakote coating device. This manufacturing facility produces Leapers’ USA-made line of handguards, stocks, buffer tubes, scope rings, magazines, and now AR billet receivers.

Releasing first is a standard lower receiver, available for purchase as a set with the upper or as a stand-alone component. “This lower provides the same standard battery of arms and parts commonality that one would expect from a forged receiver, but also contains features that shooters of all skill levels and disciplines will appreciate,” Ding says. “A true ambidextrous lower will also be available shortly after the initial launch, and both lowers
