Steinel Ammunition Co. Signs Laura Burgess Marketing (LBM) for Public Relations

Steinel Ammunition Co., makers of rare and large bore cartridges, partners with LBM to grow awareness of their competitively priced, hard to find precision loads within the shooting sports market.

Twinsburg, Ohio (April 2019) – Steinel Ammunition Co., manufacturers of American-made premium self-defense, hunting, and target ammunition, have signed industry public relations company, Laura Burgess Marketing, to help increase awareness of their unique ammunition offerings, all designed and produced for optimal results.

Steinel Ammunition’s “Dedicated to Every Round™” tag line is a company-wide philosophy and mission to fill their customers’ ammunition needs with products that provide consistent reliability, accuracy, and precision, no matter if using for target, competition, hunting or as a professional. Steinel Ammunition stands behind their products with a 100 Percent Satisfaction Guarantee policy.

Steinel Ammunition, known by discerning shooters for their 458 SOCOM 300 grain JHP load, has recently added more SOCOM loads, plus Steinel’s 458 SOCOM Guide Book, available for download on the same page. Steinel Ammunition carries a wide range of rifle ammo from .243 WSSM to .308 Win, 45/70 Government, and the 500 Auto Max 350 gr. JHP, designed specifically for Big Horn Armory’s AR 500 rifle. Steinel Ammunition also produces a line of vintage military ammunition for the Garand, Arisaka and Trapdoor Springfield rifles.

Steinel Ammunition offers both revolver and semi-auto handgun ammunition, from self-defense loads to handgun hunting rounds. Their Ultimate Deer Load, a 44 Magnum with a 225 grain Solid Copper Hollow Point, is made with premium components, including Starline brass, Hodgdon powder, and what is arguably the best bullet technology for handgun hunters: a Maker Bullet SCHP.  Field testing and ballistic gel testing confirm that this lead-free bullet provides optimal penetration AND expansion on deer-sized game.  The former shows that shoulders and ribs will not deter the bullet’s ability to reach the vitals and expand sufficiently, often with bullet diameters in excess of 1.1 inches.

New rounds are being researched and developed continuously, including the latest, an 8mm Nambu, which just tested flawlessly in a Type 94 pistol and will soon be available for purchase.

“Steinel Ammunition is a different kind of ammo company,” Andy Steinel, president of Steinel Ammunition Co., explained. “Because we don’t produce the everyday type of ammo you see stocked on the store shelves, we need someone within our industry that could reach the right people to help us increase customer awareness. What we offer is truly unique and we feel that LBM will be able to help us access those individuals that can propel us in the right direction.”

“I am very excited to represent Steinel Ammunition,” Laura Burgess, president of LBM, said. “The fact that Steinel Ammunition does not follow the crowd makes them unique. I look forward to the challenge of targeting some of these niche shooting enthusiast groups. I sense, once they know about Steinel Ammunition, they will be forever hooked!”

Meet the Reach at the 2019 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits, the Firearms Safe that Looks Like No Other!

 

Visit Vara Safety at the 2019 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits

Booth 1506

Vara Safety set to introduce Second Amendment advocates to the only firearms safe that addresses both safety and accessibility.

Latham, N.Y. (April 2019)Vara Safety will be bringing their innovative biometric firearms safe direct to their customers at the 148th Annual NRA Meetings & Exhibits in Indianapolis, Indiana, April 26-28, 2019. Vara Safety will be displaying Reach at booth 1506 in the Indiana Convention Center.

Reach is the first firearms safe that addresses two of the most important concerns for home protection: safety and accessibility. While keeping firearms and ammunition under lock and key is the norm for most firearms owners, the question of how to have instant accessibility to a firearm when a situation occurs that threatens the lives and property of the home (and business) owner had gone unanswered. At the same time, there is the concern that curious children, teenagers, or other unauthorized individuals could have access to a loaded firearm with potentially fatal repercussions. Reach is the culmination of years of end-user and technology research and testing.

Vara Safety, the company behind Reach, is set to start shipping in early summer of 2019 and has just completed a survey, growing the initial firearm model inserts from four (GLOCK®, Smith & Wesson® M&P Shield®, Springfield Armory® XD-S Mod.2®and 1911 models) to more.

Timmy Oh, founder of Vara Safety and lead designer behind Reach, actively participates in customer conversations on social media, through the website and from Demo Days. “From day one, I knew that it was important to keep the customer in the forefront and we adapt to our market needs based upon that feedback. Besides asking what our public wants in handgun model inserts, we also wanted to know where they would like to access their Reach. From this conversation, we are now developing a platform for vehicles. At Vara Safety, we take our customers seriously and look forward to having plenty of feedback at the biggest consumer firearms show in the country, the annual NRA show.”

Get the background story at Making firearm safety beautiful.

About Vara Safety:

Incorporated in August 2017 and located in upper New York State, Vara Safety is a company dedicated to bringing the latest biometric technology to firearms safety. The first product is Reach, a patented biometric handgun safe that allows the user to simultaneously unlock the firearm using a fingerprint reader while drawing the handgun in ready and safe position, will be available to consumers in the summer of 2019. www.varasafety.com

“A new shooting season, and more of the same consistent, reliable, and undeniable performance from my equipment. Over 800 rounds of both standard ‘gamer’ loads and high performance, +P++ loads with Shell Shock Technologies NAS3 cases in two different firearms over the weekend with zero failures of any kind. Even the chronograph shows the consistency with an extreme spread of 10 FPS. Can’t say enough about being able to count on your gear when it matters,” commented Vlieger.

Vlieger has fired over 55,000 rounds of ammunition with Shell Shock Technologies’ NAS3cases since becoming sponsored in 2017 and plans to continue using it.

Vlieger can be seen competing next at the 2019 Magnus Cup USPSA Level 3, to be held at the Southern Utah Practical Shooters in St. George, Utah, April 26 – 28, 2019.

About Shell Shock Technologies NAS3 Cases:

NAS3 9mm cases are 50 percent lighter than brass cases, offer greater lubricity and will not abrade, clog, foul, wear-out or damage breach and ejector mechanisms. The cases offer greater corrosion resistance, tensile strength (2x stronger) and elasticity than brass. NAS3cases will not split, chip, crack or grow (stretch) and are fully reloadable (using S3 Reload dies) and can be reloaded many more times than brass cases. NAS3 cases have been tested successfully by customers to pressures over 70k psi. NAS3 cases can be picked up with a magnet. The head can be colored for branding purposes and easy load identification.

NAS3 is “Best in Class” for maintaining consistent velocity between rounds. In an independent test performed by H.P. White Laboratory (a major munitions testing facility), rounds fired using NAS3 cases achieved a velocity standard deviation of 0.093 FPS (124-grain FMJ bullet, 4.2 grains Titegroup powder, 10 rounds, extreme variation 3fps).

Burris New RT-8 Scope to be Unveiled at the annual NRA show

Springtime at Burris

We’ve got a brand new tactical scope to tell you about, plus there’s info on the Burris Speedbead for those of you into shotguns and turkey hunting.
We’ve got a special deal on our custom knobs, another special deal on items in the Burris store, and a contest where one of you will win a Speedbead Shotgun sight. So read on!  And as always, thank you for supporting Burris.

See You at the NRA Annual Meeting

We’re in Indianapolis for the annual NRA show. It’s April 25th through 28th.
Burris is in booth #6855. Stop by and talk to us about our latest scopes and sights, or some of our all-time favorites. We’ll have the XTR III, our upcoming new tactical scope, the Oracle bowsight, and everything else from Droptines to Veracity scopes.
These events are easily the best opportunity to see the entire Burris line, and to compare it with the competition!

NEW PRODUCT

RT-8 Scope

Brand new – being unveiled at NRA Show

Two years ago the RT-6 1-6x scope hit the Burris catalog. And it has been a huge success, bringing short-to-medium range extreme accuracy to tactical shooters who are bit more price-conscious.
This year we’re adding to the RT lineup with the 1-8x RT-8.
True 1x magnification at the lower end means extremely fast shooting with both eyes open. Full 8 times magnification means this scope is good for some serious distances. Features like a built-in adjustable throw lever are designed to make it very quick.  1-8 scopes are seeing double duty — they may have been  designed for tactical competitions, but they are hugely popularity with hunters.
We’ll have details and specifications on BurrisOptics.com after the launch at NRA show.

German Precision Optics Partners with Lungile Safaris

 

 

RICHMOND, Va. (April 22, 2019) — German Precision Optics (GPO), USA announced today a strategic partnership with Lungile Safaris that is revolutionary in the hunting industry. The two companies have joined forces to bring together award-winning optics with world-class South African hunting for GPO customers at an exceptionally discounted price. With the purchase of select GPO product packages in select markets, customers will have an opportunity to redeem discount vouchers for savings on hunting adventures with Lungile Safaris.

One example of the offerings is a special seven-day Plains Game Adventure package that has been put together specifically for the GPO promotion. It starts at $3,499 before any discounts (see below) are applied. This price is for two people at one of Lungile Safaris’ four premier lodges and includes the harvesting of one blue wildebeest or one black wildebeest, one blesbok and one springbok. These animals can be shared if desired and additional animals can be added for additional fees. The price also includes all food, a private room with a private bathroom, a dedicated professional hunter, non-alcoholic drinks, field preparation of trophies and delivery of trophies to a local taxidermist or shipping agent.

To participate in this Hunt Africa promotional program from GPO and Lungile Safaris, one merely needs to take advantage of one of the three promotional offers:

· $750 Safari Discount—Purchase 1 PASSION 3X or 1 PASSION 4X riflescope and 1 PASSION ED binocular (Promotional hunt cost $2,749.99)

· $1,000 Safari Discount—Purchase 1 PASSION 3X or PASSION 4X riflescope and 1 PASSION HD binocular (Promotional hunt cost $2,499.99)

· $1,500 Safari Discount—Purchase 1 PASSION 6X or 8X or 1 GPOTAC riflescope and 1 PASSION HD binocular (Promotional hunt cost $1,999.99)

The above discounts are examples based on applying the available discount vouchers to the Adventure Plains Game package.  However, these vouchers can be used on any hunt purchased and booked with Lungile Safaris.  Once the purchase is made, simply take a digital image of the sales receipt(s) that show the purchase(s) of the qualifying GPO products. Email the photo, your full name, address and phone number to promotions@gpo-usa.com. Upon validation of the receipt(s), GPO USA will email you a PDF of the appropriate safari discount voucher to print and use when booking the hunt with Lungile Safaris. This process eliminates the need for paperwork, the use of postal mail and long wait times. Snap a picture, e-mail the image and information, and you are on your way to great savings on great hunts.

“Since GPO was launched less than three years ago, we have been doing things differently,” said Mike Jensen, GPO, USA president and CEO. “This partnership promotion is just another example our out-of-the-box thinking and our company’s continued commitment to our customers.”

“Hunting Africa is a dream for so many people,” Jensen said “At GPO, we want to help make those dreams come true. And with the use of the GPO optics, it is certain to be an incredibly memorable experience.”

JC1

We are pleased to introduce a special, limited edition 1911 from Ed Brown Products, Inc. in memory of the late Colonel Jeff Cooper. This commemorative 1911 is officially endorsed by the family of Jeff Cooper, and was designed in collaboration with them to render, as authentically as possible, what Jeff Cooper himself desired in a 1911. The final design was based on input from our builders, the Coopers, and many of Jeff’s closest friends and fans. The goal was to create a 1911 for combat shooting and personal defense that he would have been proud to carry.

COAST TX14R Rechargeable Handheld

20190416_102229

A long time ago, I developed a dislike for using “feature rich” accolades because quite frankly many of the features captured in that hackneyed expression have zero utility, but there are exceptions and COAST’s TX14R is one of those.

I explain why in my review…

BROWNELL NEW PRODUCTS

 

This week Paul Levy, chief of the Brownells product acquisition team, shows us the long and the short of hot new firearm releases. The KC9 from Ed Brown is a super slim, compact 1911 chambered in 9mm Luger (9x19mm) that’s all about daily carry. All-stainless steel, G10 grips, distinctive Snakeskin checkering on the mainspring housing and front-strap, external extractor for added reliability, bushing-free bull barrel, and a Trijicon HD fiber optic / Tritium front sight. Of course, the KC9 also has a sweet Ed Brown trigger and the shop’s legendary workmanship. On the other end of the size scale, Paul has the SRM Arms M1216 shotgun. The name says it all: a 12 gauge with 16 shots in a rotary magazine up front that also serves as the forearm. With acres of Picatinny rails for mounting ANY and ALL accessories you need, the M1216 embodies the word “intimating”!

New Modular Rifle Chassis from Choate Machine and Tool

 

See Us At The NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits!
Booth 4963

Choate Machine and Tool Introduces the Choate Modular Stock, a Modular Chassis System For Remington Pattern Bolt Action Rifles

Bald Knob, AR – Choate Machine and Tool, a market leading designer, manufacturer and OEM supplier of rifle stocks, shotgun magazine extensions and firearms accessories, has introduced The Choate Modular Stock (C. Mod) chassis system. This is a true modular rifle stock, allowing the user to change the forend or butt stock without removing the rifle action from the main chassis section. This modularity provides the ultimate in adaptability and versatility while not disturbing the critical action-to-stock fit so reconfirming zero is unnecessary after configuring the system as needed.

The heart of the C. Mod rifle stock system is the precision CNC machined chassis. Made from a solid block of aluminum, the chassis rigidly holds the action while the desired butt stock and forend can be changed as needed. The chassis uses the time-tested AR style magazine release. This eliminates accidentally dropping the magazine by hitting a release lever located in front of the trigger guard. The C Mod. magazine will accept cartridges up to 2.860 inches in length such as the 308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor and 260 Remington, as well as other popular cartridges like 6mm Remington, 257 Roberts and 7X57 Mauser. Each C. Mod chassis comes with two magazines and the required action screws.

The ultimate in versatility is provided by the C. Mod Stock system of optional forends and butt stocks. Forends include a target/varmint style forend with a wide, flat bottom and a sniper/tactical style forend that is shorter and slightly tapered toward the muzzle end. Both come with a T-rail and bipod adapter. Butt stocks included two conventional types including a basic tactical style, a fully customizable target/tactical style with adjustable check piece and length-of-pull. Choate also offers two very specialized butt stocks for the C. Mod Rifle Stock including a telescoping AR style butt stock (compatible with any AR butt stock) and a pistol grip folding stock for the ultimate in portability. All butt stocks and forends come with the required hardware for rock solid installation.

 

 

The new Choate Modular stock is available for the Remington 700 short action and Remington Model 7. MSRP is $710 and includes the CNC machined chassis anodized matted black, the tactical forend and the tactical butt stock both also in matte black and two magazines.

This micro-compact 9mm handgun has a 3.125″ barrel and an overall length of 6.1 inches. It weighs 16 oz unloaded, and includes flush fit and extended floorplate 7-round magazines.
The features of the N1 make it an appealing option for concealed carry. It features front and rear slide serrations for ease of manipulation. The N1 has a 7075 aluminum hard coat anodized receiver with full length slide rails and a 1913 accessory rail. All internal components are coated for corrosion and wear resistance. It features glass-reinforced polymer grips that are gunsmith replaceable.
Sights on the Naroh N1 are polymer 3-dot (white) standard, but are compatible with G43 aftermarket sights, meaning there’s already a ton of options upon launch. Naroh’s pocket gun is double-action only (DAO) with an internal drop safety, and best of all, no trigger pull is required to disassemble. The N1 will have two finish options available when it launches at NRAAM – both options will feature Naroh’s signature red trigger and black polymer grip module, standard. The first finish option will be black FNC coating on the slide and barrel, while the second is a sleek silver stainless slide. MSRP for the N1 will be $399 and $410, respectively.
Naroh Arms will be giving away one brand new N1 pistol at NRAAM 2019 next week – visit their booth (#7568) for details and to enter to win!
The 2019 NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits will be held April 26-28 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, IN. Attendees can see the N1 pistol at the Naroh Arms booth #7568. Exhibit Hall hours are from 9 am to 6 pm on Friday and Saturday, April 26th and 27th, and from 10 am to 5 pm on Sunday, April 28th. For a full schedule of events, visit

WHISING YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES A HAPPY EASTER !

81d55f9f-235d-4f45-ab7f-b8e773a4c2cc

You guessed it, it’s Friday and time to wind up a busy week to prep for Easter weekend. Hopefully, your time won’t be consumed by household choirs and you’ll have time to enjoy your Easter. It’s also time for our weekly shoot the shit. Given the week’s events, we all need it, even if it happens to be Good Friday.

New readers may wonder what a shoot the shit is, I’ll explain. Rather than spending $150+ per hour so you can share your thoughts and feelings with a jackass who studied psychology so they could understand themselves, the shoot the shit accomplishes the same thing with superior efficacy.

In a shoot the shit, the participant does not need to know anything about the subjects being discussed, they can make any unsupported comment or claim, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone they wish or change the subject altogether. They work great with office coworkers, buds and family members, so give it a try. If you can’t get your own shoot the shit going, join ours. It’s free and we love the interaction. So here we go.

Is everyone up to speed on the Notre-Dame fire in Paris? This 800 year old Parisian landmark is an extraordinary piece of world history, and on its own, it stands as a scepter for hundreds of years of history. The fire is believed to have been caused by a short circuit in electrical wiring in the cathedral’s attic. The current estimate to reconstruct Notre-Dame is 8€ billion. The French government has committed to rebuild the cathedral in five years. Notre-Dame accounts for the lion’s share of tourism in Paris’4th arrondissement so it’s a huge financial hit.

c80c857c2999d3e645a5892d458c9e7d-3344-2113-70-8-NBYQSKC7WQI6TPZE3NFZ7NRKUI

I have to complement the 400 French pompadours for minimizing the fire damage and mitigating the risk of fire to the surrounding buildings. It was tragic to watch such an extraordinary site succumb to flames.

En français: Je dois compléter les 400 pompadours français pour minimiser les dégâts d’incendie et atténuer les risques d’incendie pour les bâtiments environnants. C’était tragique de voir un site aussi extraordinaire succomber au feu.

Democratic U.S. Presidential candidate, Pete Buttigieg , decided to deliver his heartfelt sorrow for the Notre-Dame fire in French to impress the audience with his language skills.

Pete has really disappointed me when he attacked Vice President Pence and his faith because he believes that marriage should be between a man and a woman. What Pete attempted to do is assail VP Pence’s faith and core beliefs, not from a policy position, but by placing his faith and spirituality above Vice President Pence. Lack luster at best! I would love to know if Pete’s Christianity acknowledges the bible as the word of God, and what his thoughts are on Leviticus 20.

My read on Pete Buttigieg is that he is an academic at heart. Both of his parents are professors and his studies are consistent with academic aspirations. If any of you have ever had interactions with academics you’ve experienced that when they schedule meetings to address challenges, the first and second meetings are spent establishing each other’s credentials, which is quite likely what Pete was trying to do during his French discourse.

Pete Buttigieg was a reeeeeeeezzzzerv Naval Intelligence Officer, achieving the rank of Lieutenant. Lt. Buttigieg was in Afghanistan for a whopping 7 months during which time he probably spent the majority of his time approving leave chits and fighting his way to the officer’s mess; irrespective of that we thank him for his service.

If you look at his career you’ll note short periods of various activities all leading to his political pursuits. It seems fairly clear to me that Pete Buttigieg was designing a resume, but along that route did he create something of value. I’ve seen nothing to that effect but I’m open to any correction to that position.

Pete is a well educated individual, but readers I would rather sit through a looped TAKL APP commercial than listen to a Buttigieg rally.

Being the first openly gay President is appealing, especially to the Entertainment Industry, and I personally believe that sexual orientation is not a qualifier or disqualifier for Presidential Office, but if he’s elected, I sure as hell hope Pete Buttigieg won’t turn the place into La Cage aux Folles 2 – La Maison Blanche.

Have a great Easter!

-SP

Correction: Notre-Dame is 850 yrs old.

What the hell is a Glock 47 say you?

 

G47

U.S Customs and Border Protection awarded Glock Inc. an $85 million contract to supply G19, G26 and G47 pistols, but has anyone seen a G47. Is it a Big Foot story? Not even! The Glock 47 was specifically developed for DHS CBP. Huh? Not only that but it will not be available commercially!

Here’s the 30,000 foot view…

The G47 is assembled with a full length slide on a G45 frame with a flared magazine well. Note that a G17 slide will not fit the G47 although they are the same length. We’ll be keeping an eye out for any new insights, including why it won’t be commercially available.

Brownells Adds BRN-180S™: Short-Barreled Little Brother of BRN-180™

Brownells Adds BRN-180S™: Short-Barreled Version of BRN-180™

GRINNELL, Iowa (April 17, 2019) – Hot on the heels of one its most-exciting SHOT Show launches ever, Brownells has unveiled the BRN-180S – the new, short-barreled version of the BRN-180 complete upper assembly debuted at the 2019 SHOT Show.

Designed in conjunction with Primary Weapons Systems and FM Products, the BRN-180S retains all the desirable features of its big brother, but has a  10.5″ barrel for those wishing to build an AR-180-style pistol, or –with the required ATF paperwork and tax stamp – a short-barreled rifle (SBR).

Another new feature on the BRN-180S is a clearly-marked adjustable gas system, allowing the user to quickly tune the upper for either unsuppressed or suppressed shooting.

“The reaction to our 2019 SHOT Show announcement of the original BRN-180 was one of the largest, most-positive we’ve seen,” said Brownells Director of Product Management Paul Levy. “The most-common request from customers was for us to come out with a short-barreled version of the BRN-180. Thanks to PWS and FM Products, we were able to do that.”

Available for pre-orders now, the BRN-180S will make its first public appearance at the 2019 NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits April 26-28, in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Built around a short-stroke piston system, the BRN-180S drops onto any mil-spec AR-15 lower and makes it easy to attach either a folding pistol brace or folding stock.

Just like the BRN-180, the BRN-180S can be fired while folded.

Features of the BRN-180S Upper include:

  • 10.5″ barrel
  • .223 Wylde chamber
  • 1-8″ twist rifling
  • Twin internal guide rods
  • Polymer ejection port cover
  • Easy-to-remove M-LOK® handguard
  • Original-style 3-prong flash hider
  • Reciprocating side charging handle
  • Adjustable gas system

Listed on the Brownells website as #078-000-537, the BRN-180S upper assembly retails for $799 and does not require an FFL to purchase.

To learn more about the BRN-180S, visit the Brownells BRN-180 page.

Meprolight USA® to Exhibit at the 2019 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits

Meprolight USA® bringing their cutting-edge red dots and sight systems to the 148thAnnual National Rifle Association Meetings & Exhibits in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Middletown, Penn. (April 2019) – Meprolight USA®, the US sales and marketing division of Meprolight®, a world leader in a variety of optic solutions from electro-optics sights, self-illuminated night sights, and innovative pistol sights, are pleased to display to attendees at the 2019 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits a wide array of their world-renowned red dot and thermal sights. They will also show their new augmented reality weapon sight system, the MEPRO FORESIGHT. Meprolight’s latest line up will be at booth 1420, April 26 – 29, 2019 at the Indiana Convention Center, in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Meprolight, an international company developing electro-optic systems for military, law enforcement, and sport shooters, opened its US facility in early 2019 to better serve their growing US market. At the 148th NRA event, Meprolight’s sales and marketing team will be demonstrating a variety of their new developments including the MEPRO FORESIGHT, the first augmented weapon sight on the market today, providing essential tactical data projected right on the transparent optical lens in real-time (battery level, sensor data, Bluetooth connectivity and in the near future, a shot counter).

The new upgraded MEPRO RDS PRO V.2 electro-optical red-dot sight is the latest generation featuring an optimized combination, more brightness positions (16 brightness levels compare to four brightness levels in its predecessor), supports both red and green aiming patterns and multiple selections of aiming patterns all through a large crystal clear, transparent display window.

The newest addition to the MEPRO RDS and RDS PRO series, the MEPRO MicroRDS, is a small, rugged, energy efficient, electro-optical red dot sight designed for handguns, shotguns, and rifles with a large display window and a clearly defined red-dot for fast target acquisition with both eyes open. The MicroRDS Kit includes a patent-pending dovetail adapter with a quick release mechanism that allows mounting and dismounting the MicroRDS on the gun with a click of a finger. The adapter includes high-quality Meprolight Night Sights that allow accurate and fast shooting under any lighting conditions when the MicroRDS Optic is removed.

Varmint hunters require sights that allow them to detect targets in total darkness and Meprolight has them covered too with the MEPRO NYX-200, a multispectral dual-channel thermal weapon sight. This robust sight is available in several configurations, all providing a high-resolution thermal channel with 640×480 microbolometer core and a 17µ pixel size. It also provides a sensitive camera channel featuring a 1280×640 microbolometer core low-light or day camera. It can quickly be changed from hand-held to weapons mount and vice versa.

For professionals requiring a multi-purpose sight capable of day/night integration and fast transition between long range and CQC situations, the MEPRO MOR PRO reflex sight with two laser pointers (visible and IR) will become their go-to sight. The passive reflex is self-illuminated for any time use and the active reflex offers an extra bright LED dot for special lighting circumstances. Red or green laser pointers for urban or close quarter scenarios can easily be activated. An IR laser pointer for covert operations gives the user the ultimate advantage. The MEPRO MOR PRO’s combined zeroing system co-aligns the aiming pattern and the two laser pointers into a single zeroing procedure, saving time and increasing accuracy.

 

About Meprolight®:

Meprolight is a leading International Electro-Optics company, developing, manufacturing and marketing systems for infantry, armed forces, law enforcement agencies and civilian markets since 1990.

Meprolight provides comprehensive solutions with a wide array of combat-proven products; electro-optical solutions, night vision devices, digital Low light handheld devices, thermal target acquisition systems, and a variety of night sights and other tritium illuminated products for safety and security applications.

German Precision Optics Expands Custom Turret Offerings

RICHMOND, Va. (April 17, 2019) — German Precision Optics (GPO), USA has announced the company has expanded its custom turret program to cover more of its riflescopes. Kenton Industry Custom Turrets are now available for six more scopes in the Passion line—the 3X 3-9×42, the 3X 4-12×42, the 3X 6-18×50, the 6X 1-6×24, the 6X 2.5-15x50i and the 6X 2.5-15x56i—to match the elevation turret to the ballistics of each customer’s favorite rifle and cartridge.

“Today’s shooter has very high expectations of the equipment,” said Mike Jensen, GPO, USA president and CEO. “At GPO, we aspire to offer superior solutions that increase accuracy at long distances. Kenton Industries is the premier leader in custom turret technology. We partnered with Kenton to provide highly accurate turret solutions for our Passion 4X 6-24×50 scope. We are excited to now expand that program to almost all of the GPO Passion riflescopes, as it is such a great value and benefit to our customers.”

Custom engraved elevation turrets to match the bullet drop from a specific rifle and load allow the shooter to easily dial in the yardage for precision shooting at any distance. Once set up, shooters simply range the target and dial the turret to that distance. This eliminates hold-over for extremely accurate shots without all the ballistic calculations or guesswork.

Kenton Industries custom engraved turrets are available for $69.95 for the Passion 3X scopes and $99.95 for the Passion 6X scopes. Visit the Kenton GPO Page for more information. A certificate for a free custom turret from Kenton is included with the Passion 4X 6-24×50 scope.

NSSF, BJA Unveil New Videos on Firearms Safety

NSSF The Firearms Industry Trade Association

 

“Many Paths to Firearm Safety” Series Focuses on Gun Owners’ Responsibilities

NEWTOWN, Conn., and WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®) and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) today unveiled a new video series, “Many Paths to Firearm Safety,” to help new and potential gun owners understand the responsibilities they have if they decide to keep a firearm in their home.

The series reflects that more Americans — especially women — are buying guns for many different reasons, ranging from personal protection to recreational shooting. The central message is that while there are many different reasons why someone would choose to buy a gun, the common thread among them must be a commitment to store firearms responsibly when not in use so they can’t be picked up by a child, stolen or accessed by someone who may want to harm themselves.

“Firearms accidents and thefts are almost always preventable, and the key to preventing them is safeguarding the access key itself. Protecting and securing the means for accessing locked firearms is critical to their safe storage,” said BJA Director Jon Adler. “We want to push that message as much as possible. These new videos emphasize the importance of securing firearms safely in the home. We want to ensure that personally owned firearms are only accessible by their law-abiding, legal owners, and not by unsupervised children, criminals or persons who might harm themselves. The key is the ‘key’ to keeping firearms safely in the hands of those responsible for them!”

The videos portray three different gun owners and their stories of ownership, along with the steps they took to make sure they will handle and store their firearms safely when not in use. The portrayals of “Whitney,” “David” and “Mateo” are meant to be relatable to the majority of gun owners, whether they grew up with firearms or they are considering buying their first gun.

“Gun ownership and personal responsibility are inseparable, as our mantra, ‘Own It? Respect It. Secure It®.’ reinforces,” said NSSF CEO Steve Sanetti. “We want to make sure all gun owners understand that, and know we have the resources they need to help them store their firearms responsibly when not in use. For anyone who can’t or won’t take that responsibility, we strongly urge them not to own a firearm.”

The new videos are viewable online on the Project ChildSafe website.

Funding for the videos comes from a $2.4 million grant BJA awarded NSSF’s Project ChildSafe initiative in 2015. Project ChildSafe provides firearms safety education messaging and free gun locks to communities throughout the country in an effort to help reduce firearms accidents, theft and misuse.
