2018 best hunting gear
Every #hunter needs hard-sided cases they can trust to protect their valuable #firearms . Whether their travels take them across oceans or simply their own back 40, Plano’s venerable All Weather Series gun cases have earned the confidence of firearms owners who appreciate premium Plano-grade protection at a practical price. For 2018, Plano has enhanced their best-selling All Weather line of long-gun cases with an upgraded look and improved functionality. Plano’s new AW2 Gun Cases are still your All Weather favorites, but now they’re even better.
Available in 36-inch, 42-inch and 52-inch sizes, AW2 cases feature rugged, industrial-strength construction and an improved, continuous Dri-Loc seal to create a watertight and dust-proof shield that protects firearms or other valuable gear in even the most extreme conditions. Additional features like heavy-duty dual-stage lockable latches, built-in pressure-release valves and molded padlock gates combine to make AW2 cases ideal for airline travel. Durable molded handles facilitate easy transport, while the 52-inch model even has easy-glide wheels. Inside, AW2 cases feature customizable pluck foam to create a clean and ultra-secure fit that cradles firearms and accessories while isolating them from every bump, jar, jostle and drop. MSRPs for the new 36”, 42” and 52” AW2 cases are $99.99, $119.99 and $169.99, respectively. Look for them at licensed Plano retailers early in 2018.
Long-distance hunters and precision shooters need to know the real distance to their targets in order to accurately place a bullet. A keen understanding of ballistics is useless without this critical piece of information. Halo’s new XLR1500 reaches farther than any Halo rangefinder ever has before, giving rifle hunters and long-range target shooters fast and accurate ranging out to 1500 yards. Precise to +/- one yard, the Halo XLR1500 automatically detects and compensates for elevation changes with AITM (Angle Intelligence) Technology, which results in the display of a true ballistic distance.
The XLR1500 Laser Rangefinder provides clear viewing of targets in a wide range of light conditions and at varying distances, courtesy of premium glass optics and 6x magnification. Its easy-to-read display clearly shows the reticle, battery status, mode setting, numerical display and unit of measure, which is selectable by yards or meters. The compact XLR1500’s lightweight aluminum body is both durable and functional. Its comfortable and ergonomically correct non-slip grip extends over the objective lens to minimize glare while increasing surface area for more reliable handling. The new XLR 1500 has an MSRP of $249.99 and will be available at licensed Halo dealers later this year.
