Built for the Podium, Tuned for Precision: Hatsan Unleashes the Factor Sniper Long and TacBoss Competition PCPs

Built for the Podium, Tuned for Precision: Hatsan Unleashes the Factor Sniper Long and TacBoss Competition PCPs

Rogers, AR (September 2, 2025) – The distance between range-day practice and match-day dominance just got shorter. Hatsan’s new competition-grade PCP rifles—the Factor Sniper Long and TacBoss—are not just built for performance; each rifle is built to win. Whether dialing in tight groups at 100 yards or chasing personal bests in local matches, these rifles offer full adjustability, serious air capacity, and the kind of precision that separates the gear-heads from the guessers.

Factor Sniper Long

The Factor Sniper Long is Hatsan’s flagship precision rifle, overbuilt by design. Available in .22, .25, .30, and .35 calibers, it brings significant power in a match-ready platform. A fully adjustable hammer preload and externally adjustable regulator enable fine-tuned power curves to match the preferred pellet of choice and shooting conditions. Whether launching .22s at 1050 FPS or sending .35 caliber slugs downrange at 169 foot-pounds of energy, this rifle makes no apologies and takes no shortcuts.



Everything about the Factor Sniper Long screams modularity and control. The side-lever action is smooth and reversible for ambidextrous use. The Quattro 2-stage match trigger offers vertical and horizontal adjustment on the trigger shoe, and the ergonomic wood pistol grip is built for long, deliberate shot strings. Onboard, a 700cc carbon fiber bottle, a 100cc pre-air chamber, and dual pressure gauges—one for the main cylinder and another for the regulator—permit competition shooters to always know what is happening under the hood. The Factor Sniper Long was made for the shooter who logs data, monitors trajectory, and chases perfection.

TacBoss

The TacBoss is less of a sniper tower and more of a mobile marksman platform. Built for those who prefer compact, purpose-built precision, the TacBoss is a competition-focused PCP with just the right amount of muscle. Available in .22 and .25 calibers, it offers up to 37 foot-pounds of energy, backed by a 580cc carbon fiber tank and the same dual-gauge monitoring system found on its bigger sibling. The externally adjustable regulator allows users to tailor the power output to match ammo and application, whether 10-meter silhouettes or 100-yard steel.

Function meets flexibility with a customizable 3-way adjustable, lightweight side-folding aluminum stock. Add in an adjustable cheek rest, competition butt plate compatibility, and two built-in magazine storage slots in the stock, and this rifle is engineered with stage shooting in mind. The precision-rifled and choked barrel, QuietEnergy sound suppression, and ½ UNF threaded muzzle ensure both stealth and accuracy, as follow-up shots are not always guaranteed.

Both rifles are built on aluminum frames with integrated combination rails for 11mm dovetails and 22mm Weaver mounts, and a Picatinny rail beneath the forearm for bipods or other accessories. Magazine capacities span from 21 rounds in .22 to 13 rounds in .35 (Sniper Long) and 16 to 14, depending on caliber (TacBoss). Each rifle includes two detachable magazines, a Foster fill fitting, and a patented anti-knock system that keeps things quiet at the match or range.

The Factor Sniper Long and TacBoss are not backyard plinkers. Each rifle is tuned, tested, and built to compete—whether a formal match or an unofficial grudge game at the range. The Factor Sniper Long and TacBoss raise the bar for competition air rifles.

Special Forces Trust Welcomes Andy’s Fund to Strengthen Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Efforts for the Green Beret Community

Special Forces Trust Welcomes Andy’s Fund to Strengthen Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Efforts for the Green Beret Community

Southern Pines, NC — August 30, 2025 — Special Forces Trust is proud to announce a formal partnership with the Marckesano Family, marking the next chapter for Andy’s Fund. Through this partnership, Andy’s Fund will now operate under the umbrella of the Special Forces Trust, ensuring its mission is supported by an organization deeply embedded within the Special Forces community, and deeply committed to mental health.

Created in honor of MSG Andrew Marckesano, a highly decorated Green Beret, Andy’s Fund exists to combat the mental health crisis within the Special Forces community — with a sharp focus on root-cause treatment of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), post-traumatic stress (PTS), and the challenges of alcohol and drug abuse. Since Andy’s passing on July 7, 2020, the Fund has worked tirelessly to drive culture change, address stigma, and connect Green Berets to life-saving resources.

“By joining with Special Forces Trust, we are strengthening the reach, trust, and impact of Andy’s Fund,” said Kathryn Marckesano, Gold Star Mother of MSG Marckesano. “The Trust’s deep relationships with the Special Forces community and leadership make them the ideal home for this mission. Together, we can save lives.”

On August 23 at the Hope & Purpose Ball in Florida, Special Forces Trust CEO Jodi Burns reflected on the personal significance of this partnership: “Andy Marckesano’s death shook me.  It was the reason I built Beyond the Battlefield, our suicide prevention and invisible wounds platform. It’s so ironic—and at the same time, so fitting—that a few years later, we would now be partnering directly with the Marckesano Family. The Trust is both honored and deeply moved to carry Andy’s name forward in this mission.”

The partnership will allow Andy’s Fund to expand its grant programs, increase access to advanced treatment options, and host annual initiatives aimed at prevention, resilience, and recovery within the Green Beret community. With the backing of Special Forces Trust, Andy’s Fund will continue its work with the urgency and precision this crisis demands.

AI Web Builders Are Fueling a Rise in Phishing Sites, Say Researchers

AI Web Builders Are Fueling a Rise in Phishing Sites, Say Researchers

Aug 29, 2025

(Source: iHLS)

This post is also available in: עברית (Hebrew)

The rapid rise of AI-powered web development tools has made it easier than ever to create functional websites with minimal technical expertise. But recent research suggests that these same tools are being repurposed by cybercriminals to run large-scale phishing operations.

According to a report from cybersecurity firm Proofpoint, attackers are leveraging an AI platform called Lovable to build and deploy phishing websites at scale. Lovable, which allows users to generate websites using simple text prompts, has seen a surge in malicious use, with tens of thousands of malicious URLs detected each month since early 2025.

The platform’s ease of use is a major factor. Even free-tier users can replicate public sites, swap in a new logo, and quickly launch phishing pages. This allows one phishing template to multiply into hundreds of copycat campaigns with little effort.

Proofpoint tracked several attack campaigns using Lovable-hosted websites. These included fake Microsoft login pages for credential theft, counterfeit CAPTCHA challenges, shipping company impersonations targeting payment data, and bogus DeFi platforms used to trick victims into connecting crypto wallets. Other examples involved malware disguised as legitimate software installers, which then infected users with remote access trojans.

This trend falls under a growing practice called “vibe coding”—a term describing how AI-generated code is often built based on broad inputs without concern for long-term maintainability or security. While the technology lowers the barrier to web development, it also generates poorly structured or vulnerable code that attackers can exploit.

Researchers warn that AI-generated websites often lack proper security controls and can easily be repurposed by malicious actors. Because these tools automate much of the work traditionally required to create a phishing campaign, attackers can now devote more attention to social engineering and payload delivery.

While Lovable has acknowledged the issue and says it’s working on mitigation strategies, the broader concern remains: as AI tools continue to democratize coding, they also risk making cyberattacks more accessible. Security experts urge developers of such platforms to implement stronger safeguards against misuse.

The Heckler & Koch MP5 is arguably the most imitated pistol-caliber carbine in the world. But even a pretty good copy is still just a copy. The truth is, you can only get a real HK from HK.

And now there is finally an authentic sporting version of the MP5 in the US, and it’s a real HK. The New SP5 will make all those generic MP5 copies out there look like nothing more than gun store consolation prizes.

SP5L Elite is exclusive through SportsSouth with a limited run of 1200 units. Includes exclusive Midwest Industries full-length M-LOK aluminum handguard with integrated QD sockets SB Tactical SBT5 Arm Brace.

Statement on ATF Open Letter Regarding Franklin Armory’s Reformation

Franklin Armory®

Franklin Armory® and FRAC Issue Statement on ATF Open Letter Regarding Reformation®

Minden, Nev. – August 29, 2025Franklin Armory®, one of America’s leading manufacturers of innovative firearms and accessories, and the Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition (FRAC) issued the following statement today regarding the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Open Letter advising FFLs on the classification of Franklin Armory’s Reformation firearm:

Shortly after President Trump issued his executive order directing the Department of Justice to review and correct anti-Second Amendment abuses of power by previous administrations, DOJ and ATF abandoned their appeal of a Federal District Court Judge’s ruling in our favor that had rectified the misclassification of Franklin Armory’s Reformation® firearm. While we were confident of another victory on appeal, fortunately, the current leadership at both DOJ and ATF proved to have more respect for legal principles than their predecessors and avoided further miring the parties into an even longer drawn-out legal battle.

This Open Letter formally reaffirms what we have known to be true all along: Reformation can only be classified as a standard “firearm” under the Gun Control Act (GCA) and is completely exempt from the National Firearms Act (NFA). Furthermore, it is neither a short-barreled shotgun nor short-barreled rifle under the GCA.

Additionally, by the parties entering into this agreement, DOJ’s and ATF’s position on Reformation’s classification is now clear. This means that consumers nationwide—at least in free states— will continue to have unfettered access to the ultimate home defense weapon for protection of self, family, and property, free and clear of all NFA restrictions in the form of Franklin Armory’s Reformation series of firearms.

We are grateful to Attorney General Bondi and ATF Acting Director Driscoll for recognizing the validity of our case and appreciate their combined efforts to negotiate an agreement. Settling this case not only rights a wrong perpetrated against a constitutionally-protected business seeking nothing more than to engage in lawful commerce, but also helps to reestablish integrity and trust between industry and executive branch institutions.

The ATF’s Open Letter regarding Reformation was issued earlier today as a negotiated action in the recent settlement between Franklin Armory and co-plaintiff FRAC (Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in FRAC, et al. v. Bondi, et al. (formerly FRAC, et al. v. Garland, et al.) at the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals and the District of North Dakota.

About Franklin Armory®

Safeguarding the God-given right to protect self and property is Franklin Armory’s enduring mission. From the “Battle Born” State of Nevada, the firm engineers and manufactures quality firearms and accessories for sporting, defense, and law enforcement applications. Highly adept at creating innovative products that are 100% designed, machined, and built in America, the People of Franklin Armory are genuine Facilitators of Freedom™.

NEW Crossfire® HD Riflescopes.

Vortex Optics - Job Opportunities

NEW CROSSFIRE® HD RIFLESCOPES: BUILT FOR THE HUNT. READY FOR THE SHOT.
August 28, 2025

BARNEVELD, Wis. – From rimfire to muzzleloader, straight-wall to scout, the new Crossfire® HD line of riflescopes is built for how you hunt, with application-specific models to fill any tag. Offering the perfect balance between simplicity and performance, this new generation is the perfect choice for hunters looking for an optic that fills the freezer, year after year.

What’s New?

The first thing hunters will notice looking through a new Crossfire® HD riflescope is the clarity of the HD glass. Offering greater light transmission and enhanced resolution, HD glass is most helpful in low light, when game is on the move. To make that glass even more powerful, many of the new Crossfire® HD riflescopes are now available with illuminated reticles for greater accuracy and contrast in low-light conditions.
To help Crossfire® HD better fit your hunt, there are now side parallax options on select models for easy adjustments in the field.

To see more from Vortex®, visit VortexOptics.com or follow us on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, X, and TikTok.
About Vortex®: Your desire to be your best fuels our promise to provide nothing short of exceptional performance, unmatched service, and memorable experiences. The way we see it, your success is our success.

Dominate the Season: BUK OPS® Cycloptic™ Handheld Viewer Gives Hunters a Game-Changing Edge

West Monroe, LA (August 28, 2025) – The BUK OPS® Cycloptic™ Handheld Viewer changes how hunters see in low-light conditions.

BUK OPS Primetime Color Vision™ is an industry-first. Primetime does not use thermal imaging or infrared; it uses proprietary patent-pending innovation. Primetime Color Vision is a light and color-enhancing technology that allows hunters to see low-light details in vivid color! Heavy vegetation and thick timber provide the perfect concealment for big game to evade detection in low-light conditions, until now. With Primetime’s full color and high-resolution view, hunters can easily spot and identify big game at dawn and dusk when most active.

Cycloptic Handheld Viewer doubles as a 4K video recorder, a feature that allows hunters to capture scouting and hunting memories like never before. Now, it’s easy to review pre-season scouting footage and identify target bucks. Primetime technology eliminates the guesswork, allowing hunters to find that buck of a lifetime.

The Cycloptic has a 1.39-inch viewfinder. A 1-5x zoom and manual focus lens provide tack-sharp viewing and the ability to zoom in for even more detail.

Trust Buck Commander’s BUK OPS Cycloptic Handheld Viewfinder for a clear advantage in the field. With the Cycloptic Handheld Viewer, hunters gain year-round insights and in-the-moment clarity, helping to spot the buck others miss and make smarter decisions from scouting to the final day in the field.

Cycloptic™ Handheld Viewer Features:

  • 25mm objective lens
  • Manual focus lens, easy to adjust with one hand
  • 1-5x zoom range
  • 1.39-inch HD viewfinder
  • Record Your Hunt with Micro SD slot for storage (Micro SD not included)
