(GunReports.com) — Leica Sport Optics invites shooters to stop by booth #3811 during the NRA 2013 Annual Meeting & Exhibits to see and handle some of its newest products. Leica is officially unveiling the new Leica ER i riflescope models during the NRA event to be held in Houston, Tex., May 3-5 2013. Get a close-up look at the ER i 2.5-10×42 and the ER i 3-12×50 riflescopes, as well as the new Geovid HD-B laser rangefinder binoculars.
The ER i 2.5-10×42 and ER i 3-12×50 riflescopes incorporate an illuminated red dot and are available in three reticle configurations: 4a, Ballistic and IBS.
The ER i features a large and ergonomically designed setting dial on the left side of the riflescope, so even a gloved hunter can easily activate and adjust the illuminated dot on the reticle. Nine brightness settings, as well as clearly defined “On/Off” positions, guarantee a clear and distinct view, even during low-light hours.
On the brightest setting, the battery lifetime in continuous mode is more than 40 hours and more than 210 hours on the intermediate setting. Plus, with Leica’s “Auto On/Off” function, the illumination will turn off when not in a regular shooting position or when left on unintentionally, providing even longer battery life.
The Geovid-HD B, a new laser rangefinder binocular, contains advanced ballistics technology, enabling users to add/create their own custom ballistics info for their specific firearm as well as class-leading ranging abilities.
The new ABC (Advanced Ballistic Compensation) function integrates a precise ballistic processor that can instantly gather and analyze ballistic information with one touch of the button, giving accurate information for the correct hold over, turret adjustment or drop down reticle aiming point. When calculating the trajectory, the distance, angle, temperature and air pressure are all taken into account.
