Doug from Camera Land's Day 4 SHOT Show Report
I started my day with Sightron. As I've already shared with you they just released 2 new series of scopes. Sightron S6 1-6x24, S6 1-6x24 FFP - LRT
S6 1-6x24 SFP - IR4A - These should be available around the end of February.
The new 5-30x56's should be in around the end of March.
Both of these scopes are made in Japan.
Sightron’s engineers gave thoughtful consideration in designing a LPVO (low power variable optic) to meet the demanding needs of 3-gun competitors, tactical operators and close-range hunters. First, using the finest Japanese glass combined with Sightron’s exclusive MC-777 lens multi-coating, gives the shooter amazing clarity, contrast, and excellent light transmission all while reducing flare. This and combined with Sightron’s Precision Focus Eyepiece which provides comfortable eye-relief and a generous sight picture gives the shooter an uninterrupted sight of the target under varying lighting conditions. In those challenging lighting situations, another aid to help the shooter acquire their target is the 11-position illumination dial with off positions between each setting allowing the shooter to quickly set their desired intensity. The aircraft grade aluminum 34mm tube houses Sightron’s exclusive ExacTrack W&E system for consistent, repetitive tracking, and is O-ring sealed, nitrogen charged and 1,000G rated shockproof so that your scope provides reliable performance these shooters demand.
I stopped back over at Element for just a quick visit which turned into more than an hour, but a very worthwhile time for sure. We discussed some of their future hunting scope plans and these guys are ON THE BALL. Keep your eye on Element for what should be great things to continue coming.
I went from here to iRay / Infiray As you should know we started representing them towards the end of 2023. Great to actually meet the guys I've been communicating with. After seeing all they've got I am excited to be a part of this Thermal company's representation.
I checked out their new:

The T-6061 aluminum housing allows mounting with standard 30 mm rings like a traditional day scope. A 50hz 12 μm detector, HD display, and manual focus lens all team up to create an image that’s anything but traditional. The TL35 V2 features a dual battery design for 10+ hours of run time and 32GB of internal memory to keep your optic going all night.The BOLT Series was designed from the ground up for optimal use on bolt action rifles and other platforms that demand flexible mounting options with increased eye relief. The traditional style of a BOLT housing allows for mounting with standard 30mm rings like a typical day scope.
I'm sure Jeff will have these great new units on our website for you very shortly.
Next, and last stop of SHOT Show 2023, was a lookie see over at Arken. I've been reading about them for a while but never saw any of their products. I took a look and chatted with a great team member there. More needs to be discussed but stay tuned as this may be a new addition for us.
