When predators start closing in and varmints dig up more than just dirt, your customers come looking for a fix. Predator and varmint season is prime time to deliver high-margin gear that solves real problems. Whether it's landowners guarding their livestock or hunters dialing in for pest control, now’s the time to stock the firearms, optics, and ammo that move.

See What Others Can’t: Thermal & Night Optics

Help your customers extend their hunt past sundown with these top sellers:

• The New AGM RattlerV3 50-640 LRF has promptly taken its place as one of the most advanced thermal optics preferred by predator hunters nationwide. Not only is it the first compact thermal scope housing to implement an in-lens LRF but it simultaneously utilizes the most sensitive sub-15mk sensor available. On top of that, it was also paired with a new high resolution 2560x2560 display, which raises the base magnification to 3.5X. This, in effect, is part of this unit's allure to predator hunters. A slightly higher base magnification ensures less pixelation at higher ranges of the magnification spectrum that's experienced by lower base magnification models.
• PARD Thermals – Compact, feature-rich solutions gaining fast traction with varmint hunters.
• Leupold VX-5HD Gen 2 – Made in the USA with a SpeedSet elevation dial, built-in throw lever, and competition-grade adjustments.
• Supreme Thermal Sights – Lightweight, affordable, and perfect for new night hunters.
