Animals that can bite back can make trekking into remote spots problematical. Whether you are hunting these animals or merely passing through their territory, carrying a powerful stopper rifle is more than reassuring; it’s almost a necessity. A semi-auto powerful enough for these kinds of critters is too heavy to pack, and a revolver in the same power category constantly threatens to send your pants on a trip to your ankles. But a fast-handling, handy and quick-shooting lever action like Big Horn Armory’s new Model 90 in .460 S&W Magnum is just about the perfect answer to this conundrum.

Sure, it’s a handy thing to send a big chunk of lead and/or copper into an ornery bruin or boar at halitosis range, but when you can reach out and touch them from a distance you can elevate your problem-solving skills to a better level. The .460 S&W Magnum is 11-percent flatter shooting than its big brother, the .500 S&W Magnum over 200 yards and has as much as 20-percent more energy at the muzzle when fired in a Big Horn Armory Model 90 carbine. Like all of its products, Big Horn Armory’s Model 90 rifle and carbine are made in the United States of America with a level of craftsmanship and reliability rarely seen today. The new Model 90 is the first repeating rifle for this powerful cartridge. It will enable hunters to use 45 Colt, 454 Casull and 460 S&W in one rifle. Big Horn Armory’s Model 90 is made using 17-4PH stainless steel or 4140 chrome moly steel and the finest woods. Available metal finishes will include Matte SS, Hunter Black and Color Casehardened.

Leapers UTG has a well established reputation for making some of the finest bipods available. The wide variety of models is all tailored to provide a rock solid foundation to shoot from for different shooting applications. Paired with a pricing policy that nobody can beat, Leapers/UTG has become the go-to place when it comes to obtaining a quality bipod system. Leapers/ UTG have now upped the ante by releasing their newest flagship bipod, TL-BP01. Aptly titled the “Recon 360″, UTG’s new Bipod has a host of features that set it apart and make it an outstanding choice for almost any shooting scenario. The main feature is its ability to rotate and tilt 360°.

This allows the shooter to make adjustments to their sight picture without ever having to lift and move the weapon or take their hand off the grip. To ensure that the shooter does not over-compensate any rotational or tilting action, the Recon 360 has two tension adjustment screws that allow the user to personalize the flexibility of the Recon 360 movement based on shooting needs and preferences. The Recon 360 comes with a cantilevered base that places the bulk of the bipod offset and away from its actual Picatinny mounting location. This clever design saves valuable space on tactical rail systems and allows the bipod to sit in the least obtrusive location when not deployed.

The fluted leg design helps reduce weight and gives this bipod a unique character unlike any other in the industry. The legs themselves can be snapped into 5 positions with the push of a button, and positive retention is guaranteed via deep slots that have been equally spaced and toleranced along the swivel disk. The Recon 360 stands tall at 10.2″ when fully extended, providing ample clearance for an AR with a Mil-Spec 30 round magazine inserted; whereas at its shortest leg setting of 7.4” the height is perfect for use on a bolt action rifle. The legs can be locked in place at one of the 5 extension notches, or anywhere in-between notches via a thumb locking wheel. In addition, the bipod comes standard with UTG’s own sling swivel mounting adaptor, making the entire unit ready for action on almost any firearm platform without the need for additional connectors or parts. Check out the Leapers website for more info on TL-BP01 or contact your local dealer for info on how to obtain the new Recon 360 today.

TL-BP01 MSRP: $79.97
