GENESEO, ILL. – Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the launch of the SAINT® Edge ATC in .223 Wylde. The ATC, which stands for “Accurized Tactical Chassis,” delivers guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy for three shots with match-grade ammunition and a skilled shooter.

Designed to deliver maximum precision from the AR platform, the SAINT Edge ATC features a patented chassis system made up of a one-piece monolithic lower machined from 6061 T6 aluminum. The free-floated design ensures that the barrel, barrel nut and gas system are totally free from any contact with the lower chassis. Further enhancing the precision performance of the ATC is the Accu-Tite™ Plus tensioning system, featuring an adjustable set of conical set screws in the lower that eliminate any play between the upper receiver and lower chassis.

The SAINT Edge ATC is offered in a standard black model as well as an Elite Coyote Brown variant. In addition to the Cerakote Coyote Brown finish, the Elite variant features a LaRue 2-Stage trigger and collapsible B5 Systems Precision Stock. The standard model comes with a B5 Systems Enhanced SOPMOD collapsible stock and a flat modular match trigger. A B5 Systems Type 23 P-Grip and 20-round Magpul® PMAG® complete the package on both versions.

Both ATC’s feature an 18” barrel in .223 Wylde manufactured by Ballistic Advantage, giving the rifle a high-performance foundation for maximum accuracy. Featuring a 1:7” rate of twist and a rugged Melonite® coating, the 18” barrel provides impressive ballistics and amazing downrange performance. The .223 Wylde chamber provides the ability to fire both .223 and 5.56 NATO, but with a chamber throat that is tight enough to wring the most performance out of match-grade ammunition. Read more

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts –– Savage Arms is proud to announce the addition of 6.5 PRC to its line of 110 Precision rifles. This new chambering provides outstanding short-magnum potential from an adaptable rifle platform that will be chambered in both right and left-hand configurations.

“The 6.5 PRC was originally designed as a long-range hunting round,” said Jessica Treglia, Sr. Brand Manager at Savage Arms. “This is essentially a magnum version of the 6.5 Creedmoor—but much of what makes the 6.5 PRC cartridge great for hunting makes it a contender on the competition side, too. 6.5 bullets are known for their exceptional ballistic coefficients and the 6.5 PRC adds more velocity from its short-magnum design. They are performing really well and are especially capable in adverse conditions.”

The 110 Precision line is built around Savage’s 110 action. With a custom LSS stock designed by the accuracy experts at Modular Driven Technologies (MDT), the 110 Precision is fully customizable. From the adjustable comb height and length of pull to the capabilities of its AccuTriger™, this aluminum-framed rifle is built for exacting performance. Read more

I was contacted a month ago about the new variant of the ergonomically superb Taurus GX4 11-shot 9mm pistol. About the size of the GLOCK 43 (smaller than the G43X), it’s a double-to-single stack magazine and, while very small, it’s become known as a very solid 9mm pistol.

The new gun is the GX4 T.O.R.O. – Taurus Optic Ready Option. I wasn’t surprised that Taurus made this happen; the trend to optics on service pistols has become optics on compact and micro-compact guns. How relevant is that?

Some reluctance to optics on concealment guns revolves around bulk. With the micro-pistol, the added ‘footprint’ is still smaller than the so-called compact service pistol. And, as the smaller pistols have become “a thing,” the optics designers have continually made the electro-sight smaller without compromising battery life, options and – to some extent – durability.

Our use of the mini-Taurus was documented here, here and here. That created high hopes for the latest variant.

As supplied and fitted, for my testing, the Taurus GX4 T.O.R.O. was fitted with the Holosun HS507K X2 optic. This is my first hands-on experience with Holosun optics.

When first activated, I saw the “circle around the dot” reticle – a 32-MOA circle with a 2-MOA centered dot. I figured that would work for me. The gun was about the same as the Taurus GX4 that arrived earlier in the year, except it was supplied with an eleven round magazine and a thirteen-round magazine. It also came with the “Taurus tool” keychain (which didn’t accompany the first gun) and other odds and ends. It was in the OD Green plastic box, like the original.

As with the original GX4, I installed the larger palm-swell backstrap. I found it made the nicely sculpted frame a better fit for me.

The Taurus GX4 T.O.R.O. (in the middle, above) is between the Springfield Armory Hellcat RDP and the Ruger MAX9 (bottom). The guns are similar in size and purpose. Below, the newer GX4 is identical to the original (on the right) — except for the optic.

I took the new gun to the range the month before the public release. Beginning with the long magazine — I find the GX4 to be a bit short for precision shooting – and using Hornady 124 grain XTP +P ammo, I sought to rough-in a zero on the optic. Shooting from a seated rest at fifteen yards, I found the group was exactly two inches left of point-of-aim of the optic. I cranked the 1MOA adjustment right and tried with another five rounds on the same target. The group was nicely centered. Without my induced low flier, four of the bullets hit into 1 3/8”. With the flyer, it was a three-inch group, which made me sad. But the trigger is different from other guns – I can’t really explain how – and I hadn’t been to a range in around five weeks. Read more
