SPRINGFIELD ARMORY® RELEASES MODEL 2020 REDLINE RIFLE

SPRINGFIELD ARMORY® RELEASES MODEL 2020 REDLINE RIFLE

GENESEO, ILL. (07/18/23) – New from Springfield Armory® is the Model 2020 Redline, a lightweight and easy to maneuver bolt-action rifle. Embracing attributes of the classic scout rifle, the new Model 2020 Redline takes the concept into the 21st century with the use of modern materials and cutting-edge design. The result is a lightweight and compact rifle ready for hunts where every ounce counts.

Designed to deliver a lightweight, custom-grade hunting rifle, the Model 2020 Redline is available chambered in .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor. Offered with a choice of 16” or 20” carbon fiber-jacketed barrels, the threaded muzzle as well as the compact dimensions of the rifle — with an overall length as short as 36.5” — make the Redline an ideal host for a suppressor on your next backcountry hunt.

Further enhancing the capabilities and light weight of the Redline is the use of a unique skeletonized Grayboe Trekker stock, combining light weight with unyielding performance. With an overall weight of just 28 ounces, the stock features an adjustable length of pull system — featuring .25” adjustment increments, with a range of 13.25” to 14.25” and adjustable up to 16” with additional spacers — for customizing it for a perfect fit. In addition, the stock features three sling studs — one in the rear and two in the front — as well as lightening cuts in both the forend and the radically relieved buttstock.

Also of note is the fact the stock features an integral bubble level/thumb rest located at the rear of the action. Rather than being positioned atop the scope, the location of the bubble level in the stock ensures you wring out maximum downrange performance from the rifle without having to break your cheekweld or lose your sight line through your optic.

The heart of the Redline is the Model 2020 action, precision manufactured from premium materials. It features dual locking lugs on a fluted bolt that runs smoothly down EDM raceways for perfect, repeatable engagement. In addition, an optimized extraction cam provides robust, reliable operation in any condition.

The free-floated BSF barrel of the Model 2020 Redline is jacketed in a roll-wrapped carbon fiber sleeve and loaded under tension. This means 95 percent of the carbon fiber sleeve doesn’t contact the barrel. In addition, fluting under the sleeve reduces weight and increases surface cooling area. Topping off the threaded muzzle is an SA Radial Brake to help minimize muzzle rise and ensure fast follow-up shots. A thread protector is also included.

The Redline features a TriggerTech® trigger with a low-profile, non-snag safety. Employing the company’s Frictionless Release Technology™, it’s adjustable from 2.5 – 5 lbs. with a patented, free-floating roller. And the high-quality trigger helps coax the best possible accuracy out of the rifle, which Springfield Armory guarantees with a rock-solid .75 MOA accuracy guarantee — for a three-shot group at 100 yards with quality match-grade factory ammunition, in the hands of a skilled shooter.

In addition, a partnership program with Silencer Central® offers all purchasers of Model 2020 Redline rifles — where legally applicable — a free $200 “Tax Stamp” for acquiring a Banish 30 suppressor through that company. The svelte lines and quick handling characteristics of the Redline make the Banish Backcountry .30-caliber titanium suppressor in particular a great partner for the rifle.

“The Model 2020 Waypoint set the standard for precision manufacturing, performance and accuracy from a premium, American-made rifle,” said Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Amory. “The new Model 2020 Redline continues that tradition by offering backcountry hunters a rifle perfectly suited to their demanding needs.”

Precision manufactured for performance and reliability, the Model 2020 Redline is perfectly suited for backcountry hunts where days are measured in miles. MSRP of all variants of the Redline is $2,299.

Leaders in City Government, Law Enforcement and Hunter Education Join NSSF to Launch "Project ChildSafe Galveston"

July 18, 2023

Leaders in City Government, Law Enforcement and Hunter Education Join NSSF to Launch “Project ChildSafe Galveston”

Community-led effort focuses on promoting secure firearm storage, including free gun lock distribution, to help prevent firearm-related accidents, thefts and misuse, including suicide.

PCS Galveston Launch

GALVESTON, TexasNSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, and Galveston Mayor Craig Brown, along with City Councilmembers Marie Robb and Sharon Lewis, Galveston Police Chief Doug Balli, representatives from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Galveston Parks and Recreation and the local hunting and shooting sports community gathered today to launch a citywide firearm safety initiative, “Project ChildSafe Galveston.”

The press conference was followed by two gun lock distribution events where Galveston residents could pick up free Project ChildSafe® gun locks and safety kits at local community centers, no questions asked.

“Educating gun owners on secure storage does more than prevent tragic accidents,” Mayor Brown said. “It helps prevent firearms from being stolen and used in crimes, and as result, it makes our whole community safer.”

NSSF is providing thousands of firearm safety kits that include a gun lock and safety brochure to local organizations and Galveston residents through its Project ChildSafe initiative, which focuses on helping prevent firearm accidents, thefts and misuse, and emphasizes the importance of secure firearm storage to suicide prevention efforts. Other local partners include:

  • · Texas Senator Mayes Middleton
  • · La Marque Police Department
  • · Chris Allen, Founder of Hoodneck
  • · Galveston Gals Firearms Training
  • · A Girl and A Gun
  • · 4-H
  • · The Texas Gun Club
  • · U.S. Concealed Carry Association
  • · Heidi Rao, a local hunter education specialist.

“We’re doing this because we know secure gun storage works – firearm accidents are preventable,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF’s President and CEO. “Fatal firearm accidents are at historic lows, and that’s a trend we want to see continue in the right direction. That starts with a community-shared responsibility and emphasis on firearm safety. We’re grateful to Mayor Brown along with Galveston’s city leaders and all our local partners for taking on this initiative.”

In addition to the free gun locks, NSSF will support the initiative by providing law enforcement agencies and other partners with free resources on gun safety in the home and in vehicles, an overview of safe storage options such as lock boxes and safes, tips for safe handling of firearms, hunting safety and other topics. These efforts will be complemented by billboards and social media ads urging residents to be responsible gun owners, and directing them to local partners, including the Galveston PD, for resources.

“The vast majority of gun crimes involve stolen firearms, so by properly securing firearms you’re not only protecting yourself and your family, you’re protecting your neighbors and making our community safer,” said Galveston Police Chief Doug Balli.

The PD will have free locks available upon request, and free locks will also be available at the McGuire-Dent Recreation Center at 2222 28th Street, and the Wright Cuney Recreation Center at 718 41st Street while supplies last.

Since 1999, the program has provided more than 40 million free firearm safety kits and gun locks to firearm owners in all 50 states through partnerships with thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country. That’s in addition to the more than 70 million free locking devices manufacturers have included, and continue to include, with new firearms sold since 1998. While helping to prevent accidents among children is a focus, Project ChildSafe is intended to help adults practice greater firearm safety in the home. More information is available at projectchildsafe.org.

The Art Of Torquing Action Screws: A Guide For Precision Shooters

Action screws that are either too loose or too tight can affect the rifle’s accuracy. Loose screws can allow the action to move in the stock under recoil, while overtightened screws can potentially warp or stress the action.

Applying the correct torque to your action screws is essential to maintaining optimal performance and preventing damage to your firearm.

U.S. Patriot Bravery Tour is Entering the Final Five with a Stop at Fort Bliss, Texas

U.S. Patriot Bravery Tour is Entering the Final Five with a Stop at Fort Bliss, Texas

The second largest US Army installation also has the largest contiguous tract of unrestricted airspace in the US, used for artillery training and missile testing.

Lexington, KY (July 2023)U.S. Patriot, a GALLS® company, and one of the largest military suppliers of uniforms, boots, and gear, are heading into its final five military bases from its 25-military base, 6800-mile U.S. Patriot Bravery Tour. The tour was designed to stop at military bases to meet U.S. Patriot customers face-to-face, partly to pay respects to the men and women who serve, and partly to understand their customer base better.

The USP team is driving a 2023 Jeep® Wrangler Willys 4×4 that is part of the Bravery Tours promotion, in which, at each stop the team will offer food, drink, promos, giveaways, and more. The event will be held on Friday, July 21, 2023, at the Fort Bliss base exchange at Bldg. 1611 Haan and Marshall Road. The event is open to all former and current military members and their families.

“The purpose of this tour is to meet our customers face-to-face, get to know our troops, and bring their voice directly into how we serve them better for their tactical gear needs.,” Mike Fadden, CEO of U.S. Patriot, said. “There is no better way to honor the bravery and sacrifice of the men and women who serve our country than to meet them in person, celebrate their stories and create a fun and memorable event they can enjoy with their families.”

The tour will be interactive, and the military service members will be encouraged to leave their unit’s memorabilia on the Jeep, making it one-of-its-kind by the end of the tour. At the conclusion of the tour, the Jeep will be given away through a sweepstake random drawing to one lucky winner. All active-duty military members, national guard members, reservists, military retirees, military veterans, and dependents of active-duty military members are eligible to enter the sweepstakes. No purchase is necessary.

GA-ASI’S UNMANNED AIRCRAFT CROSS 8 MILLION FLIGHT HOURS

New MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian® Models Add More Than 4,000 Hours

SAN DIEGO – 14 July 2023 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA‑ASI) today announced that its family of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), which includes the Predator®, Reaper, Gray Eagle, Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian® lines, has surpassed eight million flight hours. GA-ASI aircraft have completed 566,000 total missions in nearly 40 countries around the world.

Adding to the total are 13 MQ-9B SkyGuardian/SeaGuardian UAS that have flown more than 4,000 flight hours, including the new Protector RG Mk1 being delivered to the United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force. The first three Protectors are currently undergoing Integrated Test, Evaluation, and Acceptance trials. In addition, MQ-9Bs are being operated by the Japan Coast Guard (JCG) and Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force (JMSDF), as well as supporting various U.S. Navy exercises.

“GA-ASI continues to be a leader in developing reliable, cost-efficient, and sustainable unmanned aircraft systems that perform advanced operations for our customers around the world,” said GA-ASI CEO Linden P. Blue. “Eight million flight hours is another achievement on our list of historic firsts, which demonstrates our relentless commitment to quality.”

The exact aircraft and customer that achieved the milestone is unknown, as it’s estimated that more than 50 Predator-class Medium-Altitude, Long-Endurance (MALE) RPA are airborne worldwide every moment of every day.

GA-ASI aircraft average 40,000 hours per month, supporting programs with the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, NASA, the Italian Air Force, the UK Royal Air Force, the French Air Force, the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces, the Spanish Air Force, the Royal Netherlands Air Force, the Indian Navy, the Polish Air Force, JCG, JMSDF, and others, with more customers coming online soon. Missions include helping protect ground units on the battlefield, supporting first responders in the wake of natural disasters, and providing critical ISR around the world. These aircraft systems continue to maintain some of the highest mission-capable rates in the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army aircraft inventories.

GA-ASI has produced more than 1,000 aircraft and nearly 500 Ground Control Stations (GCS) in more than three decades of business. In addition to UAS and GCS, GA-ASI produces Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) systems, as well as sensor payloads that deliver radar and video imagery, detect moving targets on the ground and over water, and provide Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) on signals of interest. GA-ASI has also developed a Detect and Avoid (DAA) system to facilitate the safe integration of unmanned aircraft systems into civil airspace in addition to combat environments.

The Predator-series family includes Predator A and Predator XP, Predator B/MQ-9A Reaper, Predator B Extended Range (ER), Guardian, Gray Eagle, Gray Eagle ER, Predator C Avenger/ER, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian/SeaGuardian.

Tactical Games Return to Iowa

Tactical Games Return to Iowa, Hosted by Brownells

GRINNELL, Iowa (July 14, 2023) – The Tactical Games returns to Iowa, with 180 competitors scheduled to compete at the Big Springs Range in Searsboro, Iowa, July 15 and 16.

Founded in 2018, the Tactical Games combines shooting with active physical fitness — as competitors perform physical challenges including runs, obstacle courses and weightlifting before engaging targets at various distances with rifles and pistols — all under time.

Competitors are organized into different divisions based on experience, age, sex and skill level.

Hosted by Brownells, the July 2023 games marks the second time the Tactical Games has operated a competition in the Hawkeye State, less than a year after the inaugural Iowa edition of the games back in October 2022.

“We are very happy to be part of the Tactical Games again,” said Brownells CEO Pete Brownell.  “The Tactical Games challenges athletes to be excellent in many different activities from running and lifting, to climbing and shooting.  The intensity is inspiring and the community spirit is awesome. It’s a perfect partnership, and we hope folks come watch these games at Big Springs range this Saturday and Sunday”

Spectators are welcome during the two-day event, and there will be parking available at the Big Springs Shooting Complex located at 4945 IA-146 near Searsboro.

Spectators are strongly encouraged to bring their own eye and ear protection, as there will be ongoing live fire on the various ranges at Big Springs throughout the Tactical Games

Switchback Carbon Tripod + Ball Head

VORTEX® INTRODUCES NEW SWITCHBACK™ CARBON TRIPOD

July 13, 2023

BARNEVELD, Wis. – Developed for hunters and competitive shooters who need a compact, yet super-stable platform for precision shooting and backcountry glassing. The Switchback™ Carbon Tripod delivers a superior strength-to-weight ratio to support heavy rifles, spotting scopes, and large binoculars.
Weighs just 4.6 lbs. Folded length just 29”. Designed with no center column for more adjustability, it goes from a minimum height of 5.8” to a max height of 65”.

Rugged carbon fiber legs, lockable ball head, an Arca-Swiss standard quick-release mount means you can transition from glassing to solid-shooting mode in seconds.
And there’s more:

  • CARBON FIBER LEG CONSTRUCTION for rugged strength without the weight
  • 44 LBS. MAX LOAD to stand solid under precision rifles and heavy optics
  • 3 TWIST-LOCK LEG SECTIONS for quick adjustment
  • 3-ANGLE LEG PIVOT LOCKS for multiple heights and secure set up
  • LOCKABLE BALL HEAD eliminates point-of-aim shift when tightened

Shooting under, over, or through obstacles. Standing, kneeling, sitting, or prone. The Switchback™ Carbon Tripod (MSRP: $799.99, MAP: $599.99) lets you build a fast, solid glassing and shooting position from the ground up, no matter what stage of the match or phase of your hunt.
The Switchback™ Carbon Tripod can be used with any 1/4″-20 or 3/8″-16 threaded tripod head with use of the
Switchback™ Carbon Tripod Head Adapter (MSRP: $39.99, MAP: $29.99), which is sold separately.

Are You Remote ID Ready?

Learn how to be Remote ID ready

Remote ID Header

Beginning September 16, 2023, all drone pilots required to register their drone must operate under the Remote Identification (ID) rule by operating:

A Standard Remote ID Drone – a drone produced with built-in Remote ID broadcast capabilities; or
A Drone with a Remote ID Broadcast Module – a device with Remote ID broadcast capabilities that can be attached to a drone; or
At an FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA) – areas where drones without Remote ID broadcast capabilities can operate. Only
FAA-recognized community based organizations and educational institutions may request a FRIA through FAADroneZone.

Is Your Drone or Broadcast Module Remote ID Ready?

Go to the FAA UAS Declaration of Compliance website
Click on “View Public DOC List”
Filter by “RID”
Search for your drone or broadcast module

If your drone or broadcast module is NOT listed, you may only fly in a FRIA.

Is Your Drone Registration Remote ID Ready?

If your drone or broadcast module is listed on the Public DOC List, you need to register or update your existing drone registration through FAADroneZone to include the Standard Remote ID drone or Remote ID broadcast module serial number.
Recreational pilots may register once and apply that unique registration number to multiple aircraft. This allows a recreational pilot to move a Remote ID broadcast module from drone to drone as long as it is listed on the same registration.
Part 107 pilots need to register each Standard Remote ID drone or Remote ID broadcast module separately, which means each one will get a unique registration number.
Visit our
Remote ID webpage to learn more about drone registration.

Have more questions? We’re here to help at the UAS Support Center or call us at 844-FLY-MY-UA (844-359-6982).

NSSF Challenges Hawaii’s Public Nuisance Law

July 13, 2023

NSSF Challenges Hawaii’s Public Nuisance Law

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, filed a legal challenge against Hawaii’s recently-enacted public nuisance law, which – unless it is enjoined – will allow frivolous lawsuits against members of the firearm industry for the criminal and negligent misuse of firearms by remote third parties. NSSF alleges the law is designed to evade the judgment of the U.S. Supreme Court and laws enacted by Congress.

“Hawaii is attempting to subvert the will of Congress when the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) was passed with a wide bipartisan majority in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate and signed into law by President George W. Bush,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “Public nuisance laws like Hawaii’s are nothing short of an attempt to drive ‘legislation through litigation,’ which is exactly why Congress passed PLCAA in the first place. These laws are unconstitutional and an abuse of the legal system to force a political agenda outside the legislative channels.”

Hawaii’s HB 426, signed into law by Gov. Josh Green, attempts to regulate firearm industry products produced outside of Hawaii by requiring the industry to adhere to an undefined and unenforceable set of “reasonable controls.” The law allows state officials and private parties to bring civil actions against firearm industry members for damages resulting from the criminal misuse of firearms or ammunition by a remote third party. This is not in keeping with the intent of PLCAA; rather, it is exactly what the PLCAA was designed to prevent.

Hawaii is attempting to resurrect the same sort of frivolous lawsuits that states and local governments attempted in the late 1990s and early 2000s, which led to Congress passing PLCAA. The PLCAA was signed into law because Congress knew antigun politicians were using the courts as an end-round to circumvent the lawmaking process. The irony was certain elected officials then – and now – oppose the PLCAA because it blocked their “attempt to circumvent the Legislative branch of government” and “would expand civil liability in a manner never contemplated by the framers of the Constitution.”

The PLCAA does nothing more than codify black letter tort law. The law simply says that these agenda-driven lawsuits can’t be brought against a manufacturer or retailer that had nothing to do with the criminal or wrongful misuse of their product.

NSSF Range-Retailer Business Expo Thanks Attendees and Sponsors

MILWAUKEE — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, wrapped up its fourth Range-Retailer Business Expo on July 12 after providing two and a half days of buying and professional development opportunities at this premier gathering for entrepreneurs, startups and established firearm range and retail operators.

“We appreciate the hundreds of industry professionals who attended the NSSF Range-Retailer Business Expo, and we’re grateful to our sponsors who helped make this unique industry event a success,” said Zach Snow, NSSF Director, Member Development.

For exhibitors, the Range-Retailer Business Expo provided companies and organizations a great mid-year opportunity to write orders while showcasing their products and services to the nation’s leading shooting range operators and firearm retailers.

“We had a good experience at the Expo meeting new vendors and greeting existing customers,” said Dennette Stellrecht of Henry Repeating Arms.

“My husband and I own an indoor shooting range and we’re looking to purchase another store and doing our homework. We’re always looking at new software upgrades to improve our operations, and the Expo provides a great opportunity to see many products. We also enjoyed the classes on promotions and building business in slow times,” said Shannon Halsrud of Central-Iowa Impact.

“We were busy and met a lot of people. The setup of the show gives us time to have great conversations that lead to connections and sales,” said Mason Olsgard of Grizzy Coolers.

The format of the Expo appeals to many attendees because it provides time for meaningful conversations about business problem-solving. It also provided an opportunity to connect with those looking to build their ranges and retailer outlets and are seeking guidance on expanding or establishing their business.

NSSF looks forward to seeing exhibitors and attendees at the 2024 Range-Retailer Business Expo when it returns to sunny Florida.

EXTREMA RATIO – FERRUM

Image

Extrema Ratio presents today its brand-new FERRUM SERIES.

This model still preserves the Extrema Ratio DNA, despite its slim and compact shape, ensuring extreme toughness and reliability. It comes with a flipper assisted opening; the blade rotates on ball bearings resulting in a fluid and firm movement.

Ferrum Rescue:
Ferrum Rescue is a tool designed for rescue missions, developed in collaboration with Andrea Micheli, military and law enforcement expert, journalist and shooting instructor. It has an extremely compact grip and three blades carrying out the following functions:
The first and main blade is 3 millimetres thick. It is designed for a much heavy use and to prevent the edges of the other two blades from wearing prematurely. Its serration allows it to cut bigger ropes or textiles, whereas the plain edge acts as a proper knife. The second blade is a scalpel, which can be used to make extremely clear cuts and perform emergency actions.
The third and the smallest, located on the back of the main blade, is a lanyard cutter that can also be employed to cut aramid paracords. The combination of the main blade and the scalpel allows the user to operate an emergency cut to free the injured from their clothes. Both lanyard cutter and scalpel can be replaced.
Ferrum Rescue has a thin and compact shape, its anodized anticorodal aluminum handle scales making its grip light, slim as well as resistant. It can be placed in a pocket, in small flashlight holsters or in a single M.O.L.L.E. system webbing. It is also equipped with a hard-metal glass breaker on the bottom part. It comes with a flipper assisted opening. The blade rotates on ball bearings resulting in a fluid and firm movement. This mechanism allows the user an easy and rapid opening of the blade, even with just one hand. The locking mechanism is the time-tested liner lock.
The reversible clip is located on the back. Ferrum Rescue is available in two versions, Red and Black; the first has a clear rescue connotation as it helps the user find the knife in the event of a fall. The second has a more tactical and less conspicuous feature.

Ferrum E:
Ferrum E is a simple, essential and functional EDC (Every Day Carry) folding knife. It has a drop point blade and a slim and compact shape. The two anodized anticorodal aluminum handle scales make its grip light, slim as well as resistant. It can be placed in a pocket, in small flashlight holsters or in a single M.O.L.L.E. system webbing.
It comes with a flipper assisted opening. The blade rotates on ball bearings resulting in a fluid and firm movement. This mechanism allows the user an easy and rapid opening of the blade, even with just one hand. The locking mechanism is the time-tested liner lock. The reversible clip is located on the back.
Ferrum E is available in two versions, both with satin blade finishing. Ferrum E Black has a black grip; Ferrum E Tactical Mud comes with a brand-new anodized grey-green handle finishing.
Ferrum T:

Ferrum T is a folding knife with a clear tactical connotation and a spear point blade with a weight-lightening hole. It has a slim and compact shape, the two anodized anticorodal aluminum handle scales making its grip light, slim as well as resistant. It can be placed in a pocket, in small flashlight holsters or in a single M.O.L.L.E. system webbing.
It comes with a flipper assisted opening. The blade rotates on ball bearings resulting in a fluid and firm movement. This mechanism allows the user an easy and rapid opening of the blade, even with just one hand. The locking mechanism is the time-tested liner lock. The reversible clip is located on the back.
Ferrum T is available in two versions; Ferrum T Black Warfare, which has a black grip and a blade customized with Geotech Camo, the Extrema Ratio innovative and original laser-engraved camouflage pattern. Ferrum T Tactical Mud, which comes with the brand-new grey-green handle finishing and MIL-C-13924 burnished blade.

Fisher’s Backpacker Pen, A Perfect Sidekick for On-the-Go Adventures

Boulder City, NV (July 12, 2023) – Throughout the history of storytelling, many loyal and supportive sidekicks have made the stories richer and more enjoyable. But there is absolutely no reason that the role of sidekicks should be limited to entertainment. All of us can use one that can help us when needed. Especially for those who are always on the go but still want to be able to write down new ideas or tend to their business, a pen they can count on would make a delightful companion.

Fisher Pen Company® offers a perfect sidekick for lovers of the outdoors in the form of a pen that embodies the adventurous spirit and unmatched reliability. Fisher’s Anodized

Aluminum Backpacker Space Pen features a slick design in several colors and carries

their pressurized PR4 medium point cartridge in black.

While these features already make the Backpacker attractive and functional, what sets it apart from all the other pens is its unique feature: a keyring attached to the cap. This key ring enables the Backpacker to attach to absolutely anything and everything an active person would need for their activities. You name it: backpacks, fishing sling packs, hiking equipment, belt loops, camping gears, running belts and pouches!

The Backpacker has combined this handy keyring feature with the excellent writability that characterizes all Fisher Space pens. It writes in zero gravity, underwater, in the rain, at harsh temperatures ranging from 30 below zero to 250 degrees F and at any angles, even upside down. You can attach the Backpacker Pen anywhere you need it, bring it

wherever you go, and write with it everywhere you want. Now all you need to do is to embark on adventures with your small but beyond-competent sidekick. At the near-zero failure rate and the retail price of $36, the Backpacker pen also presents a terrific gift option for anyone who loves to keep moving!

About Fisher Space Pen

Fisher Pen Company is a 75-year-old American manufacturer of ballpoint pens, with the notable distinction of being the only ballpoint pen used on every crewed flight into space since Apollo 7 back in 1968. While pressurized technology made it possible for NASA’s astronauts to write in space, it also provided writing capabilities in all-weather, underwater, over oil and grease, and from -30 to +250 degrees Fahrenheit. These pens are the perfect tool for trade professionals, first responders, military, rugged outdoor enthusiasts, trekkers, backpackers, industrial manufacturers, underwater divers, and anyone who values a pen that doesn’t fail.

Next-Generation CZ 712 G3 Target Shotgun Includes Multiple Upgrades

Next-Generation CZ 712 G3 Target Shotgun Includes Multiple Upgrades

Kansas City, KS (July 12, 2023) – It’s easy to fall in love with the new CZ 712 G3. The next-generation shotgun inherits the best features of the G2 while adding enhancements like enlarged controls, adjustable comb, stock shims, and CZ’s Active chokes for an even better shooting experience than its predecessor. This gas-operated semi-automatic uses a lightweight alloy receiver and handles a variety of shotshell loads due to the two pistol system, making it an all-arounder shotgun for clays, upland game, or waterfowl. The 712 G3 Target delivers exceptional performance at an affordable price.

A Turkish walnut stock and forend, matte black finish, and 7mm wide ventilated rib barrel distinguish this shotgun. Its 30-inch barrel balances the shotgun and swings smoothly, while a redesigned butt pad improves comfort and tames recoil.

CZ knows that good eye-to-barrel alignment improves shooting. So the new 712 G3 Target features an adjustable comb and a stock shim set that allows cast-on or cast-off and up or down adjustments for a perfect custom fit.

The addition of an oversized bolt handle makes the G3 easier to operate, while its enlarged bolt release facilitates faster reloads. The safety was moved to the front of the trigger guard and enlarged; it’s out of the way yet still easy to access. The designers also moved the bolt lock to the right side of the shotgun, forward of the safety. And it’s now easier to push and close. The enhanced ergonomics make the CZ 712 G3 Target super intuitive!

The G3 includes five of CZ’s new Active-Choke extended choke tubes. They feature a longer parallel section, delivering the best patterns possible from its .735-inch diameter bore (an upgrade from the .730-inch bore in the older 712s). Extended chokes are easy to change, tighten without tools, and the mid-body threads keep the choke securely in place. Active chokes make swapping constrictions for different target presentations a breeze.

An ability to use a wide range of ammunition elevates the G3 to the next level of performance and versatility. The CZ 712 G3 includes two interchangeable pistons; one that cycles light 2¾” target loads and another for 3-inch magnum field loads for heavy and light loads. Either piston accepts a wide range of shot shells within its designation. With the light piston installed, shooters appreciate soft recoiling shot shells for target shooting that can be cycled easily.

The next-generation 712 G3 Target checks all the boxes for shotgunners looking for improved useability and performance. It’s available at dealers now.

  • · Adjustable comb
