A NEW French-Australian team for SEA 1905 : ECA GROUP and TMT sign an MoU for the Mine Countermeasures program of the Royal Australian Navy
Australian company Total Marine Technology (TMT) and the French company ECA GROUP have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to combine their expertise in the domain of unmanned technologies in order to partner for the SEA 1905 Phase 1 – Tranche 1 Program of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) for their future Maritime Mine Countermeasures and Military Survey Capability.
Both companies are highly skilled in robotics equipment for harsh maritime environments and have been serving customers in the Defence and Security domain for many years. Today, ECA GROUP and TMT announce their partnership and a common commitment to supply the Commonwealth of Australia with the most competitive and technologically advanced solution for SEA 1905. TMT and ECA GROUP are already in discussions with other possible Australian partners to further enhance their offer.
The Royal Australian Navy’s SEA 1905 Maritime Mine Countermeasures (MCM) Program was announced in April 2019 to replace the RAN’s four remaining Huon-class Minehunter Coastal (MHC) ships. In January 2021, Australia’s Minister for Defense also stated that the new ships would be based on the Arafura-class offshore patrol vessel. The vessels will deploy modular unmanned autonomous systems that will provide them with mine-hunting and military survey capabilities. The request for tender SEA 1905 Phase 1 – Tranche 1 is expected for the fourth quarter of 2021. According to Admiral Michael Noonan for Australiandefence.com.au, the program schedule of SEA 1905 Phase 1 is well on the track: “first pass approval has occurred, second pass approval will be in the third or fourth quarter 2022 with the introduction of capability in 2023/2024 and IOC (initial operational capability) in the backend of 2024”. Admiral Noonan also shared a figure of A$3.3 –A$5 billion (€2.1 – €3.2 billion) for the future mine warfare and hydrographic vessels.
ECA GROUP over 50 years experience in Mine Countermeasures for over 30 navies
ECA GROUP has over 50 years’ experience in the design, manufacturing and support of complete and integrated unmanned systems based on autonomous and remotely operated technologies for mine clearance at sea, while constantly keeping crews and the ship out of the danger zone. UMIS – ECA GROUP’s integrated drone systems for Mine Detection, Classification, Identification and Neutralization benefit from its many years of experience in engineering and solutions development offering compact, interoperable, modular and scalable systems. They can be operated from dedicated mine hunters as an integrated solution, but also from a ship of opportunity or from the shore as an air/road transportable configuration. This solution being comprehensive, as well as sea proven, ECA GROUP has a unique offer on the market of maritime unmanned technologies.
In addition, ECA GROUP also offers deep and ultra-deep unmanned underwater vehicles down to 6000m for hydrography and oceanography.
ECA GROUP systems support over 30 navies including the Royal Australian Navy. In the past, ECA GROUP provided and supported the RAN with its mine disposal PAP robots which were in operation on the Bay Class minehunters until 2001. In the late 90’s, ECA GROUP delivered and installed onboard the RAN Leeuwinn class ship an integrated platform management system OPSYS which was upgraded in 2010. Currently, ECA GROUP is participating in the SEA1778 project by supplying and integrating two “remote control kits” on two boats to transform them into Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) to tow the AMASS (Australian Minesweeping and Support System) influence sweep. In addition, in 2008/2009 ECA GROUP also delivered the software suite (now integrated in UMISOFT software suite) to the Australian Hydrographic Service, for acquiring and processing the hydrographic data collected by the four Paluma-class motor launch vessels.

Stryk Pay Offers a New Pro-Gun Friendly
Means of Credit Card Processing
BOZEMAN, Mont. (May 11, 2021) — Despite the recent surge in firearms sales, the gun business is facing a serious challenge. That challenge is the fact that many “gun unfriendly” banks, financial institutions, and credit card processing businesses have been cancelling their agreements with the gun industry at an alarming rate.
Stryk Group USA – the Bozeman, Montana-based impact consulting company serving several leading hunting, fishing and firearms brands – has developed an innovative solution to the problem – Stryk Pay.
“First it was the Obama Administration’s onerous Operation Chokepoint that was thankfully nullified by the Trump administration.” said Ron Dan, director of sales, Stryk Pay. “Sadly, today it is the Biden Administration – perhaps the most anti-gun administration in history – that has set the tone for financial institutions to simply refuse to do business with legal firearms businesses. They are looking to accomplish this by not processing credit card transactions and not providing other essential services to our dealers and manufacturers. Stryk Pay was created by our company – one staffed from top to bottom with people who are endemic shooters, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts. All with experience in everything from running firearms companies and retail operations for firearms brands to high-risk credit card processing for e-commerce, wholesale and retail companies – as a solution to these discriminatory business practices.”
Key elements of Stryk Pay include:
* It is supported by a network of Second Amendment-friendly banks (redundancy in bank approval to ensure continuity of services.)
* PCI Compliance Level 1 gateway, the highest, most stringent, of the PCI security levels. Top tier security, established in an effort to protect the security of credit card data and cardholder data, in e-commerce transactions as well as in-store.
* Safeguards for fraud protection and chargebacks.
* Integration with current hardware and point-of-sales systems.
* Reliability and security, while still able to provide cost savings.
* Flexibility in implementation with current hardware, making a change as non-invasive as possible.
* From the initial application to implementation, Stryk Pay has the most tech-forward systems in place to ensure a streamlined process.
* Dedicated USA-based customer service.
“We are equally invested in preserving and supporting the Second Amendment as we are to offering cost savings and processing solutions, regardless of the nature of the transaction,” Dan said. “It’s that simple.”

Umarex Airguns Announces
the Gauntlet 2 PCP Air Rifle
FORT SMITH, AR (May 10, 2021) – Umarex USA, innovator, manufacturer, and marketer of airguns, optics, and accessories for outdoor enthusiasts is pleased to announce it is running the Gauntlet again! The Gauntlet 2 pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) is all new for 2021. Umarex Airguns is bringing substantial improvements over the first generation Gauntlet and its direct competitors. The new Gauntlet 2 will be available in both .22 and .25 calibers and bring a refined look and a new performance potential to shooters looking for an alternative to rimfire rifles or the discerning air gun shooter in aim of the 10-ring.
Ergonomics mean everything when it comes to handling any tool and air rifles are no different. The new Umarex Gauntlet 2 stock has been optimized with esthetic design changes as well as functional improvements that captivate the eyes and meld with the body. Its new high-strength polymer stock is molded in Flat Dark Earth with the adjustable cheek rest accented in black. The stock has been slimmed down and trimmed in conspicuous places while still offering superb interaction, reduced weight, and synonymous feel for the shooter. This new approach accommodates M-LOK® accessories via the attachment points on three sides of the reinforced and lengthened forearm. Additionally, the new Gauntlet 2 is fitted with an easy-to-grip knurled cylindrical bolt handle that treats the shooter to a much more positive interface, especially in inclement weather.
Umarex Airguns raised the bar with improved performance in this new edition to their PCP lineup. The Gauntlet 2’s new onboard air tank has been increased to 24 cubic inches from the first generation’s 13 cubic inch tank. The biggest news for the Gauntlet 2, however, is the increased regulated pressure. Shooters picking up the .22 caliber Gauntlet 2 will find the regulated shot pressure at 1,900 PSI and the .25 caliber Gauntlet 2 tank regulated at 2,100 PSI. Velocities for .22 and .25 caliber pellets will hover in the 1050 FPS and 980 FPS range using lightweight lead pellets and energy levels in the 33 FPE and 51 FPE range with popular standard weight pellets, respectively. The huge 24 cubic inch tank also works to increase the shot count by 17% in .22 caliber to 70+ shots and 85% in .25 caliber to 50+ shots. Even though the Gauntlet 2 is producing substantially more muzzle energy than the original Gauntlet, additional baffling in the barrel assembly works to reduce the noise level by 8dB in both calibers. Mounting a scope on the new Gauntlet 2 is also easier than ever with a Picatinny style optics rail now topping off the receiver.
Umarex USA has run the Gauntlet again by refining the lauded Gauntlet platform to create a powerful and pleasing PCP pellet rifle that, in typical Umarex Airgun fashion, offers exceptional power and exceptional value for the consumer’s shooting dollars. The Gauntlet 2 will be offered at fine airgun retailers and the Umarex USA webstore at a MSRP of $449.99.

Galco’s FasTrax PAC!
PHOENIX, May 2021
An instant bestseller the moment it was introduced, and designed to blend with casual modern clothing styles, the FasTrax PAC discreetly carries a subcompact or compact defensive handgun ready for action.
Unlike old-style waistpacks that required the user to dig deeply into the pack or tear it open to draw the handgun, the FasTrax PAC uses a highly innovative combination of a pivoting holster component and external activation cord. This enables you to get your handgun into action much faster than with legacy waistpack designs. As we all know, time is often in very short supply when you need a handgun to defend yourself and your loved ones.
Comfort is key when carrying all day, of course. To maximize wearer comfort, the FasTrax PAC’s back panel is made of Galco’s Comfort Cloth™, a soft and breathable adaptive performance mesh that keeps the pack comfortable against your body when worn all day long.
Convenient concealment is also important. The FasTrax’s adjustable, stretchable elasticized waist strap also helps make for easy carry, and uses a Nexus® buckle for quick on-off capability. The pack’s contemporary flat front has a zippered pocket for carrying some EDC items. A helpful pass-through port on the front pocket accommodates cables for earbuds or other devices.
Galco’s patent-pending FasTrax PAC tops the list for comfortable, convenient carry and speed into action in an increasingly casually-dressed world.

Escort Shotguns has taken the best cycling features and made them their own.
Bentonville, AR (May 10, 2021) – Escort’s Dynamax Semi-Auto Shotgun is a marvel of modern engineering. Designed to be the perfect combination of speed and comfort, the Dynamax is loaded with features that maximize both performance and value.
The Dynamax is outfitted with Escort’s ultramodern, patented Hybrid Cycling System (HCS). It combines the best features from each of the two traditional cycling operating systems, gas and kinetic. The Dynamax will cycle light loads like a traditional gas system but uses much less gas. As a result, recoil is reduced, and the cycle rate is faster and more efficient. With less felt recoil, a shooter acquires targets faster, making follow up shots more effective. Using less gas to cycle the gun also means the Dynamax does not have to be cleaned as frequently. The HCS is easy to break down, making maintenance easier than ever.
The entire barrel/receiver module is oxidation-proof for ultimate weather resistance. The precision-tooled barrel is made from Ni-Cr-Mo steel, and is hard chrome lined. The bolt of the Dynamax is also fabricated from Ni-Cr-Mo steel and is hard chrome plated for long life, reduced friction, and maximum resistance against corrosion. This unrivaled process makes for maximum durability and provides the utmost resistance against rust and corrosion. In addition, all Escort barrels are rigorously proof tested to ensure both strength and longevity.
The Dynamax stock is an excellent example of form meeting function. Its DaSoft finish provides scuff and UV protection while improving durability and handling feel. The DynaPad recoil pad’s advanced elastic material and V-shaped ventilations provide superior recoil absorption to maximize shooting comfort. The Dynamax is also equipped with an integrated DynaComb cheek piece that increases comfort and reduces felt recoil. All of these features make the Dynamax a dream to shoot, with even the stoutest of magnum loads.
The unique two-piece modular design makes the Dynamax one of the world’s fastest and easiest shotguns to assemble and disassemble. The two-piece modular design is comprised of the stock / trigger group module and the barrel / receiver module. This intuitive design allows the shotgun to be fully disassembled and reassembled in just seconds with no tools. Simply loosen the magazine cap a few turns, and the two modules can be separated.

Don Trump Jr.’s Disruptive Outdoor Media Brand, Field Ethos, Hires Industry Veteran Mike Schoby BOZEMAN, MT (May 6, 2021) – Field Ethos Inc., the multi-media platform dedicated to providing adventure seekers with unparalleled hunting, fishing, travel, and adventure content, is pleased to announce the appointment of Mike Schoby as Chief Operating Officer. Schoby will be responsible for strategic brand growth, sales and partnerships with quality brands in the outdoor space.
Schoby’s outdoor industry experience spans nearly three decades as a writer, photographer, book author, as well as Editor-in-Chief of Petersen’s Hunting magazine and Group Publisher overseeing Outdoor Sportsman Group’s shooting division, including legacy brands such as Guns & Ammo and Shooting Times.
“Schoby is an excellent fit for our team of troublemakers at Field Ethos. His many years in the outdoor industry partnered with his unfiltered style align with our collective mindset. With the way many brands are shying away from unapologetic sporting content, Schoby fits in well with a team that’s not afraid to swim against the current,” said Jason Vincent – Field Ethos Inc. Founder. “When you combine his comprehensive hunting and fishing experience with his track record of innovative content development, the ability to lead sales teams and success in developing long-lasting relationships in the industry, he really is the perfect fit for Field Ethos, and we’re excited he is attracted to our brand.”
“I’m thrilled to join the Field Ethos team,” says Schoby. “It’s a chance to help create a renaissance of the masculine sporting culture—adventure, hunting, guns, travel and fishing. Most importantly it is about representing our lifestyle honestly. For example, Field Ethos doesn’t justify hunting solely for the sake of food…it is a part of it, but we know there is much more. It is equally about the adventure, culture, comradery and tradition. At our core we are about embracing toxic masculinity and rejecting the woke, P.C. culture.”
“Mike is a friend and someone I respect in the outdoor industry. I think everyone knows I’m unapologetic by nature and he has a very similar mindset when it comes to how we want to see our brand evolve—and we’re pretty much doing exactly the opposite of most brands in our space. In this day and age, honest representations of hunting and fishing pisses a lot of people off. Mike won’t take his foot off the gas when that happens,” said Don Trump Jr.—Field Ethos Inc. Founder. “We’re just a few dudes being dudes. Less and less people seem to be ok with this these days, but we’re here for those of us who still value that.”
About
Don Trump Jr. along with several friends launched Field Ethos Journal in 2020 with a mission to create a brand that takes a strong stance as a pro-hunting, pro 2A, non-PC outlet for those who appreciate unapologetic, authentic and unfiltered content. Unlike some brands that have financial ties to known anti-gun groups, Field Ethos is free from all encumbrances and welcomes every aspects of the gun culture from fine English doubles to machine guns. While the brand currently focuses on digital content through it’s website, films, podcast and social media, it’s inaugural print magazine will launch in early 2022.

FN EXPANDS pistol offerings with all-fde fn five-seven and fn 503 MICRO COMPACT
(McLean, VA – May 7, 2021) Catering to the requests of shooting enthusiasts and FN brand fans alike, FN America, LLC is pleased to announce the release of new flat dark earth (FDE) offerings in both its FN Five-seveN® and FN 503® line-ups, available at authorized retailers soon.
“Today’s gun buyer is looking for variety and options, not just with accessories but with color variants that stand out in unique and noticeable ways,” said Chris Cole, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for FN America, LLC. “FN’s all-FDE models certainly stand out and we feel that these new releases in our signature color give consumers greater options to further customize, and personalize, their gun and gear setups.”
FN Five-seveN FDE
The original FN Five-seveN®, often imitated but hardly duplicated, has two decades of trusted service with allied armies, global law enforcement and civilians.
Extending its groundbreaking design is a new, all flat dark earth frame and slide. With improved range and accuracy over common pistol cartridges, the NATO-standardized 5.7x28mm, developed by FN, is fired from the chrome-lined cold hammer-forged barrel.
Pinpoint accuracy and minimal felt recoil is standard issue. Equipped with an internal hammer, the smooth trigger with a predictable break further enhances accuracy.
This new all-FDE model, available with 10-rd or 20-rd magazines, replaces the existing two-toned FDE and Black. Existing California-compliant Five-Seven models remain unchanged.
FN 503 FDE
The latest update to FN’s micro compact 9mm pistol, now available in flat dark earth, is inspired by the company’s legendary reputation for battle-proven quality. Setting a new standard in concealed carry handguns, the 503 is more controllable and accurate thanks to a full-height grip stippling and a best-in-class trigger breaking cleanly at approximately 5.5-lbs. The FN 503 is a discreet and comfortable gun that conceals easily thanks to its slim profile. The snag-free all-metal 3 dot sights deliver an instant and crisp sight picture.

Spartan Armor Systems’ new Hercules Level IV ceramic body armor offers FULL edge-to-edge protection, on a TRUE multi-curve design. The lightweight, shooters cut armor has been independently tested and verified to meet NIJ 0101.06 Level IV standards.
Tucson, Ariz. (May 2021) – Spartan Armor Systems®, manufacturers of American-designed and made body armor, tactical gear, and targets, unveil the new Hercules Level IV Ceramic Body Armor, made at the Spartan Armor Systems facility in Arizona. The Hercules level IV body armor plate has been thoroughly tested by an independent NIJ Certified laboratory.
The Hercules offers wearers maximum protection without sacrificing comfort. Designed using Spartan Armor’s Advanced Compound Curve (ACC) feature, Hercules is a true multi-curve design providing the wearer with the most comfortable fit out of any ceramic Level IV body armor plate on the market today. This advanced ergonomic design is especially important during extended duty engagements, typical of law enforcement, military, and security operations.
In addition to its true multi-curve design, Hercules offers full edge-to-edge protection, providing 10” x 12” edge of armor to edge of armor protection. Unlike other ceramic plates that offer only an 8” x 10” area of protection on a 10” x 12” plate, Hercules doesn’t skimp on protection and is threat protection rated for armor-piercing rifle up to .30-06 M2 AP from edge-to-edge.
Noticeably lighter than most available level IV ceramic body armor plates, Hercules weighs in at just 6.9 lbs. per plate (two plates are included). Made from ceramic and UHMWPE materials, Hercules Shooters Cut body armor’s exterior is covered with 1000 Denier Cordura® material and features the Hercules embroidered logo.

Bushnell® Expands Rimfire Riflescope Lineup
New Scopes Offer DZ22 Reticles and Peak Performance for Rimfire Shooters
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – May 5, 2021 – Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, has announced the addition of two new models to its dedicated lineup of rimfire riflescopes. Specifically designed for .22LR rifles, these scopes are ideal for varmint and small game hunting, as well as for plinking and recreational shooting.
The two new riflescopes are available in a 3-9x40mm configuration with DZ22 reticles, with one model featuring an illuminated reticle option. The DZ22 reticle was specifically designed for .22LR rimfire ballistics, with drop points out to 125 yards. On the illuminated reticle model, the riflescope is standard with an “off” position between each intensity setting, so users do not have to return to zero and lose their preferred intensity. The illuminated reticle also provides shooters with improved visibility in low light environments.
Rimfire shooters will appreciate that both models come equipped with glass enhancements for improved performance. Standard features on both riflescopes include multi-coated surfaces, one-piece tube design and a large 40mm objective for more clarity, improved resolution and a larger exit pupil. Both riflescopes can also be used with the Bushnell Ballistic App. These enhancements allow for faster target acquisition and more accurate shooting.
Capped turrets protect shooters’ windage and elevation settings in the field, while lightweight and waterproof sealed aircraft-grade aluminum construction protects the entire scope from the elements. From the field to the range, the 3-9×40 rimfire riflescopes are IPX7 rated and have been designed to get the most out of rimfire rifle shooting no matter the weather conditions.
MSRP is $149.95 for the 3-9×40 rimfire riflescope with standard DZ22 reticle and $179.95 for the illuminated DZ22 reticle model. For more information about these or other Bushnell products, visit Bushnell.com.

EOTECH® and Easterseals Michigan Join Forces for Mental Health Month
Ann Arbor, MI (May 4, 2021) – Easterseals Michigan offers a variety of services to people with physical and mental disabilities. As COVID-19 drags into its second year, the number of people experiencing mental health issues due to the pandemic increases, which is a concerning trend. EOTECH® has teamed up with this vital organization to raise mental health awareness throughout May.
Easterseals Michigan’s goal for this campaign is to have 5,000 people take a free, anonymous online mental health screening survey on their website. While online, participants will find a wealth of free educational resources. To achieve this lofty goal and promote its project, Easterseals Michigan receives support from community-minded companies, organizations and partners like EOTECH.
The “Get Screened! Mental Health Matters” campaign runs during May, Mental Health Month. EOTECH, a campaign sponsor, is committed to helping people take the free, anonymous mental screening on Easterseals Michigan’s website. For every mental health screening completed on May 31st, EOTECH will generously donate $1 to help the organization reach and hopefully surpass its goal.
“EOTECH optics are a favorite of the military, law enforcement and other first responders, and people from these careers are known to suffer from depression and other mental health issues at levels higher than the national average,” said Ed Schoppman, President of EOTECH. “So, there was a natural connection for us to become involved in this critical awareness campaign.”
Schoppman added, “Of course we hope people from all walks of life will take the screening as depression is, sadly, all-too-common. Many mental health issues are treatable, and this screening will help people access the services they may need.”
As Easterseals Michigan noted, “Behavioral health – which includes mental health, substance use, and more – is a key part of your overall well-being. Brief screenings are the quickest way to determine if you or someone you care about should connect with a behavioral health professional. This program is completely anonymous and confidential, and immediately following the brief questionnaire, you will see your results, recommendations, and key resources.”

The advanced design and high-impact, polymer construction of the EX Performance Adjustable Stock, complete with an extra thick hexagonal non-slip vented rubber recoil pad, aids in a reduction of felt recoil and shooting fatigue, proving its performance for the long haul.
Nampa, Idaho (May 2021) – Adaptive Tactical, LLC, manufacturers of innovative firearm stocks and accessories, is proud to announce its highly successful EX Performance Adjustable M4-Style Stock for AR15/AR10 Carbines has received some updates for 2021 to meet growing customer demand. With its advanced design and high-impact, polymer construction, the EX Performance Adjustable Stock is the ideal upgrade. The stock is engineered for compatibility with MILSPEC buffer tubes, so it works on a variety of AR rifles, shotguns, and rimfire platforms. The oversized pin, durable construction, and extremely comfortable recoil pad make it an ideal option for customers building larger caliber rifles such as .308, .458 SOCOM, and even .50 cal. Designed for owner installation, the quality of its sleek industrial design and construction is evident in the details of this great product.
“Our EX Performance Adjustable Stock is a highly successful stock, in fact, our number one selling item, but we wore out the mold with the increased demand in 2020. With the number of units we produced, we were forced to cease production and rebuild the mold,” commented Gary Cauble, vice president of sales and marketing at Adaptive Tactical. “During the revamp of the mold, we decided to streamline the appearance of the stock to better match a wider variety of modern rifle receivers and consumer preferences. By doing so, we have not only been able to update the look of the product, but we have improved the mold to increase our production capacity to meet growing customer demand.”
The EX Performance Adjustable Stock was engineered with a component level focus on long-term durability and performance. The finished product is a collection of USA manufactured parts that merge to create an incredible stock. This M4-style stock features an easy-to-reach rapid adjust lever for a custom, adjustable length-of-pull. It incorporates an oversized steel extra strength adjustment pin to handle the power and energy generated by the heaviest calibers. An extra thick hexagonal non-slip vented rubber recoil pad absorbs the relentless and pounding recoil of the nastiest rifle rounds, reducing felt recoil and shooting fatigue. A pair of adjustable lever pin covers eliminate the discomfort often associated with removing adjustable rear stocks, while the integrated non-rust sling swivel stud and QD sling swivel insert make for quick and versatile sling mounting options. Glass filled nylon construction guarantees years of reliability for all seasons and conditions.
Available in Black, Flat Dark Earth (FDE), and Orange Less Lethal, the EX Performance Adjustable Stock weighs in at 12 oz. with recoil pad (8 oz. without pad) and has an MSRP of $49.99.
Adaptive Tactical’s Ex Performance Adjustable Stock creates the perfect set with the new Adaptive Tactical Lightweight Tactical Grip (LTG) for AR15/AR9 rifles and AR pistols (available in April 2021). This bundle combines the LTG and the EX Performance AR Adjustable Stock in a cost-saving, made-for-each-other set.
The LTG’s one-piece frame design reduces overall material and significantly reduces weight compared to other grip designs. Non-conductive polymer material will not retain heat nor cold and maintain a comfortable surface temperature while providing an improved grip in all weather conditions. The LTG is easily installed and includes mounting hardware. Proudly made in the U.S.A., the LTG is available in Black (AT-01900) or FDE (AT-01900-E). Bundle MSRP $55.98.

Savage Arms Debuts IMPULSE Hog Hunter
WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – Savage Arms announces the new standard for hog guns: IMPULSE Hog Hunter. This straight-pull rifle is purpose built for thinning out wild boar. Hogs rarely appear alone, and the speed of the IMPULSE Hog Hunter’s straight-pull action and its exceptional balance will allow hunters to get back on target fast.
“Hunting hogs with a conventional bolt action rifle is highly effective, but when there is a large drove of pigs to clear out, the ability to take multiple shots is critical,” Jessica Treglia, Sr. Brand Manager at Savage Arms, said. “These new IMPULSE Hog Hunters will allow you to cycle the bolt with lightning-fast precision, stay on target without losing your sight picture, and the compact design is perfect for carrying in the dense brush hogs use for cover.”
The IMPULSE Hog Hunter is designed for efficiency. With barrel lengths as short as 18 inches, these rifles are as maneuverable as they are fast. Their heavy barrels manage heat effectively, ensuring accurate follow-up shots. And each of the new IMPULSE Hog Hunter models are chambered for proven .30 caliber cartridges.
The IMPULSE straight-pull action is bedded in an OD Green stock featuring AccuStock®. Savage’s AccuFit® technology makes adjusting length-of-pull and comb height almost as effortless as the IMPULSE’s bolt throw. And the user-adjustable AccuTrigger® can be set from 1.5 pounds to 6 pounds.
