TRUST THE
BALLISTIC
SCIENCE
Whether you are a beginner or
an advanced shooter, trusting the
science behind the shot should
be your top priority.
Ballistic calculations becoming a
standard of long-range shooting
ensure precision, safety, and
self-confidence of hitting right
on target. Pulsar, a European
manufacturer of thermal and night
vision optics, is taking a step forward
by introducing internal ballistic
calculations for both riflescopes
with and without the integrated
laser rangefinder.

P U L S A R
Level up your
accuracy
The sole purpose
of a ballistic
calculator is to
quickly calculate
a bullet’s performance
in a specific situation,
considering environmental
conditions and ammunition
specifications. In other
words, mixing some
physics and mathematics
with natural factors like
air temperature, humidity
level, wind direction and
speed and other influencing
factors.
Once you start
implementing ballistic
calculations, you might
achieve a level of accuracy
that seemed unattainable
before. It is especially useful
in real hunting conditions
when you know the exact
distance to the target. By
having the visualization of
suggested point of aiming
(SPOA) in front of your
eyes you can quickly and
confidently adjust to hit
right on target.
Ballistics inside the entire
range of riflescopes
Enabled ballistic
calculations not only
enhance the functionality
and convenience of Pulsar
riflescopes but is also a proof
of how the brand is taking
care of loyal customers. Now
ballistic science is available
even for the Pulsar Trail
thermal riflescopes line
that has been a favorite by
hunters around the world
for many years. As well as
for the Digex C50, Pulsar’s
irreplaceable night vision
riflescope.
Equipped with ballistic
calculations also comes the
most popular Thermion 2
riflescopes line. Both the LRF
and non-LRF models. The
same update is coming to
Pulsar’s compact riflescopes
Talion and the multispectral
riflescopes Thermion Duo
DXP50 and Thermion Duo
DXP55. And that is a huge
change for the hunting
community. Now you do not
necessarily need a riflescope
with the laser range finder to
place a precise shot.
Complex technology made
simple
Those who had a chance to
experiment with the Stream
Vision Ballistics mobile
application developed
by Pulsar praise it for
its simplicity of use and
effortless operation. It only
takes a few simple steps to
create a ballistic profile or
several ones if you prefer on
the app and upload them
to your riflescope. After that
you can disconnect from the
app and start using ballistic
calculations inside your
scope. It is convenient to use
even when you are offline,
which often happens when
you are out there in nature.
In simple words, the
ballistic calculations are
made within the scope
itself. You just need to
select one of the uploaded
profiles and manually input
a preferred distance to the
target. Or to be assured,
measure the distance with a
handheld and then set it in
the riflescope’s short menu.
You instantly get a visual
SPOA on the screen of the
riflescope and can quickly
adjust your aim for a perfect
shot. Worth mentioning,
there is always a possibility
to deactivate the SPOA in the
device’s menu.
Make safety your priority
Finally, bear in mind that
even the most advanced
ballistic calculator needs
to be used proficiently. It
takes practice and some
knowledge to make the most
of it and, most importantly,
to use it safely.
Do not forget the “margin
of error” depends on many
things, the quickly changing
wind direction being only
one of them. So, enjoy
shooting accurately but only
place the shot when you are
100 per cent sure.

often considered
straightforward
from a mechanical
and manufacturing
perspective. This
article explores the
unique selling points
of Pedersoli’s offerings,
making a compelling
case for why retailers

exceptional firearms in

Historical Elegance,
Modern Precision
Davide Pedersoli has
carved a niche in the
international market
by producing muzzleloading
guns that are not
only visually appealing
but also perform with
the accuracy of their
modern counterparts.
Attention to detail is
evident in every product,
from the fine appearance
to the meticulous
craftsmanship. This
dedication to quality
ensures that Pedersoli’s
firearms are more than
just replicas; they are
functional pieces of
history, bridging the gap
between the past and
present.
The Model 1886 lever
action rifle
Pedersoli’s venture
into the world of Lever
Action rifles, specifically
with the Model 1886,
illustrates the company’s
philosophy of combining
structural solidity with
mechanical fluidity. The
Model 1886 stands out
for its robust locking
system, characterised by
a large bolt secured by
two thick bolt locking
plates and high carbon
steel locking pins.
This intricate design
ensures durability and
reliability, qualities that
are paramount in the
demanding conditions
of hunting and shooting
sports.
Cutting-edge technology
and craftsmanship
Pedersoli’s success in
achieving a balance
between solid
construction and
seamless operation in
the Lever Action Rifle
can be attributed to
the use of advanced
technologies and
rigorous control cycles.
The expertise of
Pedersoli’s gunsmiths,
who operate within a
high-quality system,
is a testament to the
brand’s commitment
to excellence. This
combination of
traditional gunsmithing
skills and modern
manufacturing
techniques results in
firearms that are both
reliable and a pleasure
to use.
The advantage of
vertical ejection
Pedersoli’s Lever Action
rifles, including the
Boarbuster and Droptine
models, feature a vertical
ejection mechanism that
sets them apart from
competitors with side
ejection systems. This
design choice not only
allows for ambidextrous
use but also facilitates
the mounting of modern
aiming systems without
interference from the
ejection process. For
hunters and shooters
who demand versatility
and functionality,
Pedersoli’s vertical
ejection system offers a
distinct advantage.

ESPECIALLY FOR
THE GLOCK

GmbH, a company with a fascinating legacy in the development of optoelectronic products,
this integrated red dot sight looks to revolutionise pistol sights, enhancing the shooting
experience across various disciplines.

N O B L E X
German
Engineering
NOBLEX
E-Optics, with
roots that
trace back to
the production
facilities of
Ernst Abbe and Carl Zeiss
in Jena, and later, in the
Thuringian Eisfeld, carries
forward a 150-year tradition
of excellence in optical
devices. This rich heritage,
characterised by a wealth
of experience in optics,
mechanics, electronics
and surface finishing, is
not just a backdrop for
NOBLEX products; it is the
foundation upon which the
NV OS for Glock MOS is built.
For NOBLEX, continuing
the legacy of Zeiss, Docter,
and Analytik Jena with an
innovative spirit is both an
incentive and an obligation.
Co-witness
This new development
offers an almost complete
integration of the red dot
sight into the slide of a
Glock pistol. This means that
the mechanical sights can
be used without restriction,
while the red dot provides
additional orientation (cowitness).
Features:
- Co-witness thanks to
extremely flat design

LED dot
- Automatic brightness
control and manual override
- Metal housing made of
aluminium (aircraft alloy)
- Can be combined with
night vision, laser, aiming

Revolutionising sight
precision
The NV OS 1 x 23 for Glock
MOS redefines expectations
for pistol sights. At its
core is a precise 4-MOA
illuminated dot, enabling
shooters to acquire targets
with unmatched precision.
This accuracy is crucial,
whether for competitive
shooting, law enforcement
applications, or recreational
use. The sight’s parallax has
been meticulously adjusted
to 25-metres, ensuring that
the point of impact remains
constant even with slight
deviations along the optical
axis. This feature represents
a significant leap forward in
shooting accuracy, offering
shooters confidence in their
equipment, regardless of the
scenario.
Designed for the elements
Understanding that
reliability under various
environmental conditions
is critical, NOBLEX has
engineered the NV OS for
Glock MOS to defy the
elements. With its IPX7
waterproof rating, the sight
is ready for all weather
conditions, providing
shooters with a versatile
tool that excels in rain,
snow, or sunshine. This
resilience is complemented

Unmatched versatility
What sets the NV OS for
Glock MOS apart is its

a multifaceted companion
for various applications. This
compatibility expands its
utility beyond traditional
uses, catering to the needs
of modern tactical and
recreational shooters who
demand more from their
optics.
Robust and reliable
construction
The NV OS for Glock MOS
boasts a robust metal
construction, guaranteeing
reliability under extreme
conditions. Whether
subjected to up to 1,000 g or
10,000 shots of continuous
load, the sight’s durability
is unquestionable. This
reliability is essential not
only for ensuring longevity
but also for maintaining
precision and accuracy
over time. Additionally, the
sight comes with an ABS
standby protective cap and
a rubber protective cap for
transport, offering extra
layers of protection for the
aluminium housing during
use and in transit.
Enhanced field of view and
quick handling
With an impressive 23mm
diagonal of the glass optics,
the NV OS for Glock MOS
offers a generous field of
view, facilitating fast target
acquisition. This feature
is particularly beneficial
in dynamic shooting
environments where speed
is of the essence. Moreover,
the sight’s flat design
ensures quick handling,
even when drawing from a
holster, providing an edge
in situations where every
second counts.
NOBLEX E-Optics: A legacy
of innovation
The introduction of the
NV OS for Glock MOS
reflects NOBLEX E-Optics’
commitment to innovation
and quality. As the company
continues the proud
tradition of its predecessors,
it also looks to the future,
embracing new technologies
and design principles to

In the land of compact
rifles, hunters often
encounter a trade-off
between affordability
and quality, with many
models offering pareddown
features to save on
costs. However, Bergara
challenges this norm with
its B-14 Stoke compact
rifle, a firearm that defies
the stereotypes associated
with smaller-sized rifles
without compromising on
the features found in its
flagship models.
BERGARA B-14 STOKE
COMPACT RIFLE:
PRECISION IN A PETITE
PACKAGE

B E R G A R A
The Stoke rifle
is meticulously
designed to
accommodate
shooters of
smaller stature,
featuring a shorter distance
between the recoil pad and
trigger, a reduced fore-end
length, and a slimmer grip.
These modifications cater
to individuals with smaller
hands and shorter arms,
making it an exceptionally
suitable option for youth
hunters, women and smallstatured
adults alike. The
introduction of a spider
web custom paint finish
and new Bergara checkering
adds a modern flair to the
rifle, aligning it with the
esteemed qualities of the
B-14 series and setting it
apart as a compact rifle that
excels in both form and
function.
Compact stock, big
performance
The Stoke’s compact stock,
measuring 31.1 cm in length
of pull (LOP), is tailored
for ergonomic comfort
and improved handling for
shooters requiring a closer
fit. The inclusion of spacers
to adjust the LOP further
enhances its adaptability,
ensuring a personalized fit
for each shooter.
Despite its diminutive
size, the B-14 Stoke packs
a formidable punch,
boasting Sub-MOA accuracy
that rivals its larger
counterparts. Equipped with
a 90-degree bolt throw,
detachable AICS-style
magazine, and a durable
graphite black Cerakote
finish, this rifle is built for
precision and resilience.
The M5 inlet bottom metal
system also enhances
its compatibility with a
wide array of aftermarket
AICS accessories, offering
shooters the flexibility
to customise their
firearm according to their
preferences.

Rem, .300 AAC Blackout, .243
Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, .308
Win, and the more powerful
6.5 PRC. This selection

specific needs, whether for

world or seeking a compact
rifle capable of taking on
most game species.

The new M10
Tactical, fast target
acquisition, shots,
and reloads in one
sublime package.
Steambow’s long-standing,
best-selling AR-6 Tactical now
has a new stablemate – the M10
Tactical: a paradigm shift in what
crossbows are capable of.
Box
magazine,
string
dampeners,
and 75lb of
draw: the
M10 on a
Tactical.
The AR-6 integral magazine: the
design that started it all on a Tactical
and pistol-configured Compact.
STEAMBOW
M10: ANOTHER
PARADIGM SHIFT?

The feature of Steambow’s
repeating crossbows that
shook the archery world so
comprehensively was that
you could shoot six shots,
one after another. Fast and
accurate, thanks to the lever-action
cocking system of the Tactical frame
and the integral magazine of the AR-6
upper, which can be reloaded with
speedloaders or by hand.
A competent shooter, using the
standard 55lb limb and shooting from
the shoulder, can get an average shot
cycle of around five seconds per shot to
fully empty the magazine. The reload
process is easy and straightforward, but
to make it fast as well, the shooter will
need to commit time and practice to
hone those fine motor skills.
Steambow’s latest creation is a
different beast. The M10 upper on the
Tactical frame uses the same repeating
crossbow principle but feeds from a
detachable box magazine, holding not
six but ten arrows. With the option to
reload by just replacing the magazine,
that same practiced shooter can expect
their reload time to drop to around two
seconds instead of the minimum 10
seconds it took to reload the AR-6.
Together with that faster reload, the
shooter will also have that satisfying
feeling of “seating a fresh mag”. That
cycle rate can just keep on going for
as long as you have loaded magazines
at the ready. Let’s look at both these
trailblazers of the archery world in more
detail.
Steambow’s continued dominance
The AR-6 Tactical was the first serious
design of this new generation of
crossbows, adding a shoulderstock
to the mix. The AR-6 Tactical (and
the subsequent attempts by other
manufacturers to compete with it)
formed the basis for a serious new
archery sector that had, hitherto,
been largely a gimmick: the repeating
crossbow sector.
The Tactical was the only one
designed to be a bona fide weapon
from the outset, regardless of the end
user’s intentions. It’s been a best-seller
for Steambow and an easy market
leader ever since, with the appeals to
the buying public continuing to grow
with the introduction of an impressive
list of upgrades. Those upgrades helped
turn the Tactical into the foundation of
a truly modular crossbow platform with
Steambow parts being usable on it or
its original AR-Series brethren: the AR-6
Compact and the Survival.
A modular range like no other
The parts list is impressive. There are
parts to make it easier to aim: faster or
more accurately, for low light or no light.
Others allow you to turn a crossbow into
something that you can pack away in a
bag or drawer: about a minute to take
down or reassemble.
There is a range of limbs that go
beyond the three draw weights
currently offered as standard, adding a
further three more performance levels
to choose from. These options give the
AR-Series the kind of fps-to-weight ratio
unseen in other brands.
New standards, new expectations
A quick calculation of what’s on sale in
the recurve crossbow market shows that
a Steambow AR-6 Tactical, weighing in
at about 2.5lbs fitted with Steambow’s
steroidal 150lb “Hunting” limb, delivers
a staggering 90fps per lb of crossbow.
Some of the leading, full-power, full-size
hunting crossbows on the market barely
deliver 60fps per lb of crossbow weight.
And the Tactical’s power-to-weight ratio
takes into account a full payload of six
arrows.
The AR-6 Tactical can punch well
above its weight should the owner want
it to. And that is the crux of the issue:
it’s up to the owner to decide what they
want. Steambow has the accessories
needed to enable a customer to build
the ideal crossbow for their desires.
Each with a purpose
What more do you get with the M10
Tactical? The first and most obvious
benefit of the M10 is the fundamentally
new reloading system and capacity. Ten
shots over six, held in box magazines
that you can carry in any standard AR-
15/M-4 magazine pouch.
With that, an improved shoulder stock,
a 75lb limb as standard to the AR-6
Tactical’s 55lb draw weight, integral
string dampeners for the increased
service life of components, and a
smoother shooting experience. Not to
mention a few other improvements, too.
So, does the AR-6 still have a place at the
table?
In short, it absolutely does. The M10
offers a whole stack of performance
improvements over the AR-6, true, but
those come at an additional cost. And if
S T E A M B O W
Steambow’s Quick Detach range makes
storage, deployment, and maintenance
effortless, whichever variant you use.
someone is happy to shoot and reload
in a relatively leisurely manner, the AR-6
is a proven platform. It is inherently
accurate, reliable, and robust. There are
fewer moving parts, too, and the singlestack
inbuilt magazine is also known to
accept and work with Steambow’s wide
range of projectiles.
Also, not everyone needs such a high
volume of fire or the ability to shoot
hundreds of arrows in one session.
Sometimes, a few arrows are enough.
And especially for hunting or defensive
scenarios, you will likely never need
more than a couple of arrows at once.
For applications where lightningquick
reloads are necessary, especially in
action-packed dynamic shooting sports,
the M10 really shines.
Steambow’s ingenuity has meant
that a crossbow no longer needs to be
heavy, it no longer needs to have a slow
shot cycle, and it no longer needs to be
awkward to store or carry with dynamic
shooting sports now on the list.
