More Info From Bushnell:
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The DOA reticle gives hunters a series of aiming points that correspond to various black powder and centerfire loads.
These aiming points, combined with our innovative Rack Bracket, allows hunters to expand their effective range
while also aiding in field judging whitetail or mule deer at extended distances. Bushnell would like to stress
that these tools are only as good as the time spent practicing with them. Nothing can replace
quality firing range time and becoming comfortable shooting at each of the prescribed yardages, while noting bullet
placement. It is imperative for the hunter to spend time at the range, gaining familiarity with the reticle and how
it works with their firearm and bullet load. Ballistic performance can vary depending upon a number of factors,
including barrel length, powder type, bullet type, and numerous weather/atmosphere related variables.
THE DOA 250 RETICLE – For Muzzleloaders
Scopes with the DOA 250 are designed to be sighted-in at 100 yds, with aiming points every 50 yds, out to 250
yds. The top of the reticle’s bottom post represent approximately 300 yds. The shooter can use either .45 or .50
cal ammunition, and either 100 grains or 150 grains of Triple 7 pellets. The ballistic chart provided below is an
abbreviated version of the more complete one available online at: http://www.bushnell.com/customer_service/
manuals/rifle.cfm
The scope must also be set to the proper magnification for the reticle’s ballistic feature to function properly. In the
case of a 3-9x 40mm scope, the power change ring must be set at 9x for the ballistic function and Rack Bracket
to work correctly.
How To Use the Reticle:
1. Sight in at 100 yds on any magnification setting
2. Determine distance to target. For the best accuracy in determining distance, utilize a Laser
Rangefinder.
3. Set the scope’s magnification to 9x (9 power).
4. Place the appropriate aiming point on the desired target. If the target was determined to be at 175 yds,
hold directly between the 150 yd aiming point and the 200 yd aiming point.
THE DOA 600 RETICLE – For Centerfire Rifles
Designed to be used with today’s most popular centerfire rifle cartridges, the DOA 600 reticle is intended to be
sighted in at 100 yards, and provides aiming points at every 100 yd increment, out to 600 yds. The user can
sight-in at 100 yds on any magnification setting, but for the ballistic reticle feature to function properly, the scope’s
magnification must be set to the correct power. The correct settings for the scopes that include the DOA reticle are
as follows:
If your scope is a:
3-9x40
4-12x40
2.5-16x42
4.5-30x50
Use this power setting:
9x
12x
16x
20x
How To Use the Reticle:
1. Sight in at 100 yds on any magnification setting
2. Determine distance to target. For the best accuracy in determining distance, utilize a Bushnell
Laser Rangefinder (Scout 1000 ARC, Legend 1200 ARC).
3. Set the magnification to the appropriate setting.
4. Place appropriate aiming point on the desired target. If the target is determined to be at 350 yds,
hold directly between the 300 yd aiming point and the 400 yd aiming point
The DOA 600 reticle will work with any of the following ammunition loads:
.223 Win 55 gr
.243 Win, 95 gr.
. 25-06 Rem 115 gr
.270 Win, 130 gr.
. 270 WSM, 150 gr.
.7mm Rem Mag, 150 gr.
This is only a partial list of the ammunition that the reticle is ballistically matched to. For a complete list of all
ammunition compatible with the DOA 600 reticle technology, please visit:

HOW THE RACK BRACKET WORKS
In an effort to help hunters, Bushnell looked at issues that had confronted many of them in the field. Field judging
deer, especially via magnified view, can be exceedingly difficult. To help with the field judging of whitetails and
mule deer we have incorporated a series of lines that extend out from each aiming point. Each lines measures
24 inches at the respective distance. There will also be two “hash marks” on each line that measure 17 inches
between them. Why did we choose 24” and 17”? After extensive research it was determined that 24 inches represents
the average width of a mule deer’s ears and 17 inches was the average width of a whitetail’s ears. Given
proper time to judge an animal, a hunter can now get an estimate of rack width, and possibly even tine length.
Rack Bracket estimations are for reference only and may not be exact. Make note that it is the sole responsibility of
the hunter to make the final determination on any animal they decide to harvest. Please refer to your local
and/or state regulations regarding antler width standards for harvested animals. It is the
hunters responsibility to be knowledgeable of and abide by all game regulations.
The Rack Bracket System
Size him up and put him down with the Rack Bracket.
Based on scope set at highest
power. For example, a 3-9x
scope would need to be at
9x for Rack Bracket accuracy.
24" – All extended yardage
crosshairs measure 24," the
tip-to-tip distance between
an average mule deer’s ears.
Judgement – Use the 24" and
17" measurements to gauge the
buck’s width. If the ears fit,
you have an accurate
estimation of range.
17" – The hash marks on each
extended-yardage crosshair
indicate the distance between
an average whitetail’s ears.
1. Determine the distance to a whitetail or mule deer. For the most accurate distance measurement,
use a Bushnell Laser Rangefinder (for best results, a model with angle range compensation (ARC)
is recommended- for example, the Scout 1000 ARC, Legend 1200 ARC, etc).
2. Turn the scope’s power ring to the appropriate position.
3. If the distance matches one of the prescribed aiming points you can utilize the Rack Bracket to
gauge antler width.

Minox BV 8x42 BL
This is a special deal on the Minox BV 8x42 BL that has a slight color imperfection in the rubber armor coating, for only $159.99. These are new binoculars that usually sell for $289.00, however, there was a run where the green rubber armor coating did not color perfectly (where have I heard this before?) and we bought them all up.
Here's the Minox description of these binoculars:
Binoculars from MINOX not only offer the latest technology and excellent quality in all its product ranges, but also feature an excellent cost to benefits ratio. With the “Value Line“ the optical specialists at MINOX show once again that quality is very affordable. Here the BV 8x42 BR show the many renowned design features and functions of the latest MINOX sport optics. These binoculars are ideal for the price conscious outdoor enthusiast – whether travelling, being involved in sport, watching an event, hunting or looking at nature of every kind.
Satisfaction at an affordable price is guaranteed by the modern optical systems of the BV 8x42 BR. These binoculars feature multicoated lens elements which reduce glare to a minimum and provide exceptionally high light transmission as well as neutral colour rendition of the subject in view. Thanks to the roof prisms with phase correction coating the user can enjoy an image with high detail rendition and rich in contrast – even in poor light conditions. Available with a 8x or 10x magnifica-tion these new MINOX BV binoculars are the perfect low cost alternatives for nature observers, hunters and birders.
Featuring an exceptionally slim design helped by the use of modern roof prisms and with an excellent grip thanks to their rubber armouring, the binoculars rest comfortably in your hands. The sturdy body ensures the reliable operation of the internal optical system and precision mechanism which are fully protected against dust and water through an innovative sealing technology. The BV 10x42 BR is water-tight preventing the penetration of moisture up to a pressure of 0.5 bar or a depth of down to five meters in water. The nitrogen gas filling also provides permanent protection against internal corrosion and prevents fogging of the optical surfaces, even with extreme temperature fluctua-tions. The outer shape of the new BV binoculars is the work of VOLKSWAGEN-Design. This cooperation of MINOX and the VW designers has already been recognised many times with prestigious awards for the design of binoculars and spotting scopes.
With their extended exit pupil and twist-up rubber eyecups with click stops the BV line can also be adjusted very well to the individual re-quirements of people wearing glasses. Therefore spectacle wearers can enjoy a full field of view that is sharp right to the edges.

VORTEX INTRODUCES THEIR PREMIUM-PERFORMANCE
RAZOR HD SPOTTING SCOPE
Vortex Optics’ new Razor HD 20-60x85 Spotting Scope delivers a level of optical quality, resolution and color fidelity previously available only in scopes costing twice the price. With a MSRP of $2,000 (and an anticipated street price of $1,600), the new Vortex is packed with the same optical technologies and performance features as the most prestigious European brands. Built in Japan, the Razor HD features sophisticated triple apochromatic objective lens, with two elements precision-ground from high-definition (HD) optical glass.

Other performance features include a die-cast magnesium alloy body with full body armor for strength and light weight, and 100% waterproof/dustproof/fog proof construction purged with argon gas to prevent internal fogging and corrosion. All exterior lenses are protected by ArmorTek, an ultra hard, scratch resistant fluorine compound that repels oil, dirt and corrosive salts of fingerprints. Rugged internal focusing is achieved with a fast and precise dual-focus feature.

All exterior lenses are protected by ArmorTek, an ultra-hard, scratch resistant fluorine compound that repels oil, dirt and corrosive salts of fingerprints. The result is a high-powered binocular with exceptional color fidelity and resolution of the finest detail. Bright, crisp and clear, the new Kaibab offers a level of optical quality and performance that was once found only in European binoculars selling for up to twice the price. So, when hours of glassing with high-powered binoculars is the preferred hunting tactic, it takes both serious patience and the highest quality optics like Vortex’s new Kaibab 15x56mm binoculars to consistently locate your next western trophy.

I have received this from Swarovski and I am passing it along, as I will be doing with all new product announcements.
Swarovski Optik Presents 25-50xWW Eyepiece
Swarovski Optik has added to its eyepiece range a 25-50xWW, which will be available in April 2009. In addition to a weight
of only 10.4 oz, this new wide-angle eyepiece offers an impressive comfortable wide-angle view across the entire magnification range. A unique optical system with aspherical lens ensures an edge-to-edge viewing experience in sharp detail. The special advantages of this new technology lie in the long eye relief, large field of view and impressive
image quality. The long eye relief at 17 mm helps for very comfortable viewing and the field of view increases by approximately 25% over the magnification range.
Like all Swarovski Optik eyepieces it is watertight and can be fitted to all the spotting scopes of the
ATM-HD/STM-HD and ATS/STS series. The eyepieces including protective covers and bayonet fitting cap, are not supplied as standard, but can be ordered separately.
Clay Taylor, Naturalist Marketing Manager says, “This new eyepiece will literally change the way we look at things through spotting scopes. The superior optical quality combined with the technical features make this a wonderful eyepiece for both viewing and digiscoping.”

We just received a shipment of the Vortex StrikeFire Red Dot in both Hunter and AR-15 versions.
Since these have been on backorder from Vortex for so long I thought I would put a post up.
Happy Holidays.

Camera Land's Holiday Daily Blowout, Day 14
We have been working with all of our suppliers to find items we can offer at crazy low prices for the holidays.
With this in mind we will be trying to post something everyday.
Today's post is for a Minox BV 10x42 BL Binocular #62168, that has a slight color imperfection in the rubber armor coating, for only $159.99. These are new binoculars that usually sell for $299.00, however, there was a run where the green rubber armor coating did not color perfectly (where have I heard this before?) and we bought them all up.
Here's the Minox description of these binoculars:
Binoculars from MINOX not only offer the latest technology and excellent quality in all its product ranges, but also feature an excellent cost to benefits ratio. With the “Value Line“ the optical specialists at MINOX show once again that quality is very affordable. Here the BV 10x42 BR show the many renowned design features and functions of the latest MINOX sport optics. These binoculars are ideal for the price conscious outdoor enthusiast – whether travelling, being involved in sport, watching an event, hunting or looking at nature of every kind.
Satisfaction at an affordable price is guaranteed by the modern optical systems of the BV 10x42 BR. These binoculars feature multicoated lens elements which reduce glare to a minimum and provide exceptionally high light transmission as well as neutral colour rendition of the subject in view. Thanks to the roof prisms with phase correction coating the user can enjoy an image with high detail rendition and rich in contrast – even in poor light conditions. Available with a 8x or 10x magnifica-tion these new MINOX BV binoculars are the perfect low cost alternatives for nature observers, hunters and birders.
Featuring an exceptionally slim design helped by the use of modern roof prisms and with an excellent grip thanks to their rubber armouring, the binoculars rest comfortably in your hands. The sturdy body ensures the reliable operation of the internal optical system and precision mechanism which are fully protected against dust and water through an innovative sealing technology. The BV 10x42 BR is water-tight preventing the penetration of moisture up to a pressure of 0.5 bar or a depth of down to five meters in water. The nitrogen gas filling also provides permanent protection against internal corrosion and prevents fogging of the optical surfaces, even with extreme temperature fluctua-tions. The outer shape of the new BV binoculars is the work of VOLKSWAGEN-Design. This cooperation of MINOX and the VW designers has already been recognised many times with prestigious awards for the design of binoculars and spotting scopes.
With their extended exit pupil and twist-up rubber eyecups with click stops the BV line can also be adjusted very well to the individual re-quirements of people wearing glasses. Therefore spectacle wearers can enjoy a full field of view that is sharp right to the edges.
