Nikon’s out with their new PROSTAFF 5 series of nineteen new scopes for just about any rifle you care to shoot. Press release:
The new PROSTAFF 5 riflescope features several technology upgrades that will satisfy even the most demanding hunters. Featuring 4-time zoom range and a bright new optical system with Fully Multi-coated lenses, PROSTAFF 5 riflescopes provide up to 95% light transmission and maximum brightness from dawn to dusk . . .
With a variety of magnifications and reticles to choose from, there is a PROSTAFF 5 riflescope for almost any application. The PROSTAFF 5 offers spring-loaded instant zero-reset turrets to make field adjustments easier than ever before. Just sight-in as usual, then lift the spring-loaded adjustment knob, rotate to “zero,” and re-engage. Field adjustments are now as simple as ever.
The long, constant four inches of eye relief of the PROSTAFF 5 helps provide a clear field of view and keeps brows safe, even with the heaviest recoiling cartridges. A quick focus eyepiece ensures that shooters can quickly and easily bring the reticle into focus. Positive click reticle adjustments help get shooters zeroed-in quick and maintain their settings. All models are waterproof, fogproof and shockproof.
Select models of the PROSTAFF 5 feature an illuminated reticle with five intensity levels of red or green, giving shooters an extra advantage during low-light hunting situations. A rheostat dimmer is located on the side focus knob for easy adjustments.
Like all Nikon riflescopes, the PROSTAFF 5 is optimized for use with Spot On™ Ballistic Match Technology. The Spot On program provides users with exact aiming points on the BDC reticle for any load or ammunition at a specified range. Spot On is free online at nikonhunting.com/spoton but it can also be purchased for mobile devices, including the iPhone®, iPad® and Android™ platforms.

Ah, it is easy to criticize FPSRussia. Few people in the gun community like him.
How about the late Paul Gomez? No one in their right mind will call him less than a freaking genius. And if I recall correctly, he argued with gun in hand, pointed at things with it and even liked throw throw Glocks on the ground when needing space (for example 2:58 in the Vanguard 2 vid).
The only difference I see is that he made several explicit statements about his interpretation of the 4 rules (as nearly every reputable trainer has). Because, let’s face it, “a gun is always loaded” is a stupid thing to say.
As for the argument of adrenaline, gross motor skills and slide manipulation… it is lovely to repeat that. Sounds so combat-proven. Yet it is a statement that has been criticized by the likes of Todd Green & Pat Mac, so it is debatable to say the least.
As pointed out, Todd Jarret does the weird front-cycle thing successfully as do several other successful IPSC shooters, even with non-serrated Glocks.
And for taking things slowly and consciously, as in the lovely adage “slow is smooth and smooth is fast”, I think it was the great & grouchy Pat Rogers who said “Naaaa, only fast is fast”.
So let’s not overdo it with the criticism, a lot of that is still open to debate. There is a reason “Safety Nazi” is not a term of endearment.
I want to buy a good pair of brand new binoculars.
Please advice where I can buy it in Bangalore, tried a few place
but they don’t have good models, and the prices are very expensive. I Prefer to buy a Bushnell Binocular, I heard these Binoculars are the Best. Please advice as to which one to buy and the place where it is available. Hoping for a speedy reply. Thanks.
I chose a Prostaff 5 for my new Weatherby Vanguard Series2. (270win) After comparing it side-by-side (outside the shop) with a Leopold VX2 Canadian edition and Vortex Viper I chose the Prostaff 5 for a couple of reasons…. 1) price-to-quality of optics ratio. (Luckily I’m blessed with 20/20 in non dominant and 15/20 in dominant (shooting) eye)…. And I could not tell an appreciable difference between the optics… at least not one worth the added expense.
The second reason is the 2.5X zoom capability… exit pupil is HUGE and makes target acquisition superb. (Better than the other two higher priced options).. MUCH faster to gain a target (especially for the pacific northwest densely forested areas where I’m in).
My ONLY complaint so far on the scope is the high-quality-but-still-plastic caps on the windage and elevation turrets. The turrets are awesome, but to be taking the caps off frequently is a bit of a concern (fear of cross-threading) a plastic end cap… but otherwise this is an awesome scope. very clear optics, superior (useful) magnification range and an awesome warranty if things don’t go well. Yes I’d recommend this to a friend.
Awesome issues here. I’m very happy to peer your article. Thanks so much and I’m looking
forward to touch you. Will you please drop me a mail?
