Burris Introduces New Shotgun Mount for Red Dots

Greeley, CO – Savvy turkey hunters understand that precision aiming is a must when using today’s advanced turkey loads. The tighter patterns and longer effective distances offered by the increasingly popular tungsten shot, for example, means careful aiming is a must — and for that, nothing beats a red dot.

Now, mounting a red dot to your vent-ribbed shotgun is super easy and lightning fast with the new Burris SpeedBead™ Vent Rib Mount. Designed for use with the Burris FastFire series red dots or any red dot that uses a Docter mounting pattern, the SpeedBead™ Vent Rib Mount is a simple DIY installation that requires no drilling or tapping.

The mount’s unique design makes it self-centering, and the mount comes with assorted rib adapters to fit multiple shotgun vent rib widths. Constructed of aluminum with a black anodized finish that will last and won’t harm your gun, the SpeedBead™ Vent Rib Mount completely captures the vent rib on both sides for maximum clamping power along the full length of the mount. Simply install your red dot onto the mount and clamp the mount to your preferred location on your shotgun’s rib. It’s that easy.

The Burris SpeedBead™ Vent Rib Mount is perfect for updating any shotgun that did not come from the factory with an optic-compatible receiver. This is an ideal solution not only for shotguns utilizing high-density ammunition but also for shotguns fitted with tight chokes or for hunting styles that bring big toms into close range.

Beretta Presents Custom SL3 Tutankhamon

Accokeek, MD – Beretta is pleased to present to the public a custom one-of-one shotgun at this year’s SCI Convention – the SL3 Tutankhamon. The SL3 Tutankhamon celebrates 100 years after the discovery of King Tutankhamon’s tomb by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon with its enriched engravings depicting common imagery from Egypt, symbols of the Egyptian civilization, and hieroglyphs found in Tutankhamon’s tomb.

This one-of-one shotgun is an SL3 EELL 12-gauge with a classic field configuration and Beretta proprietary Steelium hyper-polished 30-inch Optimabore-HP barrels. Made of an exhibition-grade 5 European walnut wood and hand checkered with a Tru-Oil finish, the SL3 Tutankhamon underwent 1,000 hours of hand engraving by master engraver Luca Casari.

The engraving has been done in the Bulino-style with a Gold, Green Gold, Silver, and Copper hand inlay, and features a hammer and chisel technique for the background beating.

The right sideplate of the SL3 Tutankhamon features three main gold-inlaid subjects, representing three main personalities of Ancient Egypt’s 18th Dynasty related to King Tut’s history (from left to right): the Pharaoh Tutankhamon, Queen Neferneferuaten Nefertiti (the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten, who ruled before Tutankhamon), and Queen Ankhesenamun (the Great Royal Wife of Tutankhamon). The background of these three subjects is enriched by imagery from Egypt and symbols of its powerful ancient civilization, also taken from the hieroglyphs in Tutankhamon’s tomb: desert caravans and oasis, the Great Sphinx of Giza, and on the left, the ankh or “key of life,” the ancient Egyptian symbol for life.

NSSF Welcomes U.S. Senator Crapo’s Hearing Protection Act

GW: Again? What’s different this time?

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, proudly welcomes U.S. Sen. Mike Crapo’s (R-Idaho) reintroduction of the Hearing Protection Act. The legislation, S. 401, is co-sponsored by 24 additional senators, all who endorse the legislation that would provide greater access to the firearm safety devices by regulating them in the same manner as a firearm.

“This no-nonsense legislation by Senator Crapo would remove unnecessary and onerous regulations for an accessory that is nothing more than a muffler for a gun,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “Suppressors are safety tools that reduce the sound of gunfire to a level that won’t cause instant and permanent hearing loss, enables more accurate marksmanship and allows shooting ranges to be better neighbors.

The Hearing Protection Act would reduce unnecessary barriers for this accessory that is currently regulated the same way as automatic firearms. Suppressors were originally listed under the National Firearms Act over poaching concerns during the Great Depression, but those fears proved to be unfounded. Suppressors don’t completely silence a firearm, only reduce the report from a level equal to a jet taking off to one similar to that of a jackhammer. NSSF is grateful to Senator Crapo for his leadership to remove unneeded barriers to owning a safety device that is designed to make recreational shooting safer.” Read more
