FORT SMITH, AR – Umarex USA, innovator and marketer of a wide range of products for the outdoor sportsman, announced that its Ruger® 10/22® Air Rifle is now shipping and available for purchase through select retailers. The officially licensed air rifle is the latest addition to their ever-growing line of pellet rifles.

Recognized as one of the world’s foremost airgun manufacturers, UMAREX continues to provide responsible recreational shooters with the greatest variety of air-powered versions of the firearms they know and respect.

The Ruger 10/22 has been seen on shooting ranges around the United States for over five decades. This new air rifle version is true to form except that it is powered by two 12-gram CO2 cartridges. The Ruger 10/22 Air Rifle is designed to shoot .177 caliber pellets, the most readily available and most popular selling airgun caliber for recreational shooting.

Beyond its function, the 10/22 Air Rifle is slightly lighter than the firearm, but looks the part. The sights are authentic in style, including the folding rear sight, and the rifle has authentic looking sling attachments. The receiver is ready to accept after-market rails that fit the Ruger 10/22 so that you can customize your Ruger 10/22 Air Rifle with the optic of your choosing. Read more

A Model for Every Shooter and Every Tactical Scenario

Kansas City, KS – CZ-USA is excited to introduce the next generation of the Bren, the Bren 2 Ms Pistol, offered in multiple barrel lengths and two chamberings. Whatever your tactical shooting needs, there’s a Bren 2 Ms Pistol model just right for you.

The original Bren 2 was developed as a select-fire rifle for the Czech military. However, the new Bren 2 Ms Pistol is a clean-sheet design, with a modular forend (hence the ‘M’) and is offered in semi-auto only (‘s’).

The other most noticeable change is the strict weight-loss regimen the Bren 2 Ms has undergone. With a trimmed-down aluminum receiver and a lower made from carbon fiber-reinforced polymer, the Bren 2 Ms Pistol is a robust but substantially lighter firearm than earlier versions. Easier to carry, quicker to get on target, and durable enough for the toughest duty: that’s the new Bren 2 Ms Pistol. Read more

MITCHELL, S.D. – Boyds has recently released a bottom metal that allows the Boyds stocks to accept the Ruger American rifles with the AI-Style magazines.

In Early 2017 Ruger released the AI-Style magazines for Ruger Precision Rifle® and Gunsite models. The precision style AI magazine quickly made its way into a few of the popular American Rifles, including the Predator and Go Wild® models chambered in .308, 6.5 Creedmoor, and other popular short action calibers.

The bottom metal was developed with quality and performance in mind. It comes with a black anodized, CNC machined, aluminum bottom metal and trigger guard. The magazine catch is polished, CNC machined aluminum to allow for a tight grasp on the magazine.

The bottom metal is designed to fit the Boyds stocks without any fitting or alterations. The bottom metal kit also allows other Ruger American rifles to be converted to allow the use of the Ruger AI-Style magazines when they are assembled to a Boyds stock.

“Rifle manufactures keep pushing the boundaries of what is achievable with firearms,” said Dustin Knutson, general manager at Boyds. “We’re constantly working to offer high quality wood gunstocks, at reasonable prices, for firearms that come from a factory with limited choices for stocks.” Read more

·16” Foxtrot Mike Barrel with CMT UHP9 Receivers and CMC Match Trigger

·Includes Primary Arms Silver Series SLx Advanced Rotary Knob Micro Dot

·Giveaway Ends June 30th, 2019 at 11:59PM CDT

Primary Arms is proud to announce a new rifle giveaway for June. Following the 6.5 Creedmoor Precision Rifle giveaway in May, Primary Arms will be giving away a brand new 9mm pistol-caliber carbine. PCCs are a rapidly growing segment of the AR market, offering a smooth, low-recoil shooting experience with low-cost ammunition. With this new build, Primary Arms incorporates several enhancements that are certain to please new and practiced shooters alike.

The core of any quality carbine is the receiver set, so Primary Arms started with a Cross Machine Tool UHP9 lower matched with a CMT UPUR2 slick-side upper. These receivers don’t just look sleek—they include all the conveniences and features one would expect from a high-grade carbine. Some improvements include the upper tensioning screw, an integral magazine release button, and threaded roll pins, but the largest convenience comes with Glock 17 magazine compatibility. Glock 17 mags are some of the most available and battle-tested 9mm magazines on the market, and 33-round stick mags are the perfect fit for any PCC. Read more

Kansas City, KS – Small-game and youth hunting, Hunter Education training, target practice, and plinking: if any of these shooting sports are on your “to do” list, CZ-USA has a high-quality and affordable CZ 457 rimfire rifle for you and yours.

And, for 2019, CZ-USA has improved and upgraded the CZ 457 family of rimfire rifles to make them even easier to use and accessorize than ever.

All new 457’s now feature an American-style push-to-fire safety–something Hunter Education instructors and 4-H shooting coaches had asked CZ-USA to change. Now, rimfire practice and training with the CZ 457 will mimic and reinforce the safety use on other American-style centerfire and rimfire rifles.

Meantime, CZ-USA also tweaked several smaller features on the CZ 457 line. To make these rifles a bit more comfortable in hand, the actions have been trimmed back nearly one-inch in length, and slab-sided to reduce the footprint and weight of the actions.

To make improve shooting with a scope mounted on the 457’s, CZ-USA ditched the 90º bolt rotation of the past in favor of 60º rotation. This change provides more room between bolt handle and scope for easier cycling of rounds. It also allows for the use of scopes with larger ocular bell diameters and lower ring heights. Read more

The event will honor the 75th anniversary of the Allied Forces landing at Normandy Beach in France back in 1944 through a series of vintage rifle and pistol competitions, along with breathtaking flyovers each day by WWII LT-6 and PT-19A fighter trainers from the Dixie Wing of the Commemorative Air Force out of Peachtree, Ga. Authentic ground vehicles, such as the M3A1 Halftrack and 1943 Stuart M5A1 Light Tank, as well as other static displays will also be presented to visitors of the park throughout the event.

A special D-Day commemorative ceremony on the opening day of festivities will welcome guests while honoring those who sacrificed everything three-quarters of a century ago. Whether competing, watching or just taking a look around, all are welcome at Talladega Marksmanship Park.

Rifle matches featured on the D-Day schedule include two days of Garand-Springfield-Modern (GSM) and Vintage Military competitions. A GSM New Shooter clinic will be held on the opening day of events, which briefs participants on the competition and allows them to engage in live fire practice. An M1 Maintenance Clinic and Open Practice for all other competitors will also kick off the D-Day event. Carbine and Vintage Sniper events will close out the weekend on Sunday. Read more
