NEWINGTON, NH — SIG SAUER, Inc., has returned the venerable P225® pistol to its catalog and is now shipping the classic handgun to dealers and distributors.

The P225-A1 retains the exceptional look and feel of the original P225, but features an enhanced trigger and the precision manufacturing and quality from the state-of-the-art SIG SAUER® facility.

“We set out to re-create the fantastic ergonomics of the P225, but we also wanted to make the best P225 ever built,” said John Brasseur, Director of Product Management for SIG SAUER, Inc. “While the original West German P225 was a fantastic pistol, the degree of precision and accuracy we can obtain now makes this the ultimate expression of the P225.”

The P225-A1 is a single-stack 9mm pistol with the time-tested double-action/single-action trigger system. A fully machined stainless steel slide is finished in the durable Nitron® finish. A hard coat anodized frame sports two-piece grips with the SIG mark medallion. Read more

Paso Robles, Calif. –Weatherby Inc., legendary firearms manufacturer, is pleased to announce the introduction of the Custom Shop TacMarkTM and TacMarkTM Elite, the latest in the renowned Mark V® series of rifles that debuted in 1958. And, just as the Mark V® and Weatherby® cartridges it chambered redefined power and performance in game fields worldwide, so too will the TacMark-series rifles for long-range targeting; the rifles are teeming with the minutiae necessary to consistently connect at extended ranges.

Exemplifying the Weatherby® axiom, “Nothing shoots flatter, hits harder, or is more accurate,” TacMarkTM rifles employ 28-inch, No. 3-contour barrels to extract top velocities (and thus energies) from their .30-378 Wby. Mag., .338 Lapua Mag., and .338-378 Wby. Mag. chamberings, while hand-lapping the fluted, free-floating, cut-rifled barrels guarantee that the rifles will produce a three-shot group measuring 0.99-inch or less at 100 yds. from a cold barrel when using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. In addition to featuring a Krieger® Custom match-grade barrel, the Range Certified (RC) TacMarkTM Elite is accompanied by an Oehler Ballistic Imaging System printout signed and certified by Ed or Adam Weatherby®. Muzzle brakes on both rifles greatly reduce felt recoil and muzzle flip.

The TacMark’s and TacMarkTM Elite’s Mark V® action—including a machined steel receiver with integral recoil lug and beefy nine-lug bolt with a short, 54-degree bolt throw—is attached to an CNC-machined aluminum bedding plate that’s secured within the weather-impervious composite stock. The incrementally adjustable stock for length of pull (13¼ inches to 14¾ inches), drop at comb, and drop at heel, provides true customization for reach and consistent cheekweld and eye-to-optic alignment. Additionally, the stock also has a near-vertical pistol grip with a trigger finger depression and a wide, flat-bottom fore-end with a stud for attaching a bipod and/or sling. Colors are black (TacMarkTM) or High Desert Camo with black spider web accents (TacMarkTM Elite).

TacMarkTM series rifles feature Weatherby’s new LXX trigger, which have refined tolerances and precision-ground and polished surfaces for a consistent, creep-free pull. Moreover, there’s a wider shoe for improved trigger-to-finger contact, and the trigger is user-adjustable for pull weight down to 2.5 lbs.

Lastly, TacMarkTM and TacMarkTM Elites are fed from a detachable, single-stack, five-round-capacity box magazine made from steel. This not only ensures supplemental rounds for follow-up shots or multiple targets are at the ready, but also immediate load adaptability; simply replace the magazine with one having loads optimally situated for the situation.

The Custom Shop Mark V® TacMarkTM and TacMarkTM Elite rifles will be available through the Weatherby® Custom Shop.

Paso Robles, Calif.—Weatherby Inc., legendary firearms manufacturer, is honored to introduce the Modular Chassis rifle, one of the latest iterations of the Vanguard® series that debuted in the early 1970s. Since that time, Vanguard® rifles have redefined the level of performance that’s attainable from a production hunting rifle —especially budget-friendly models. With its new Modular Chassis rifle, the company combines the best attributes of the Vanguard® with features deemed nonnegotiable by the tactical community.

Adhering to the Weatherby® axiom, “Nothing is … more accurate,” accompanying the Modular Chassis rifle is an accuracy guarantee; when using premium ammunition, it will produce a three-shot group measuring 0.99-inch or less at 100 yds. from a cold barrel. Aiding this assurance is a cold-hammer-forged, No. 3-contour “bull” barrel measuring 0.740-inch at the muzzle. Twenty-two inches in length, the free-floating barrel has a bead-blasted, matte-blue finish to minimize glare.

The heart of the Modular Chassis rifle, the renowned Vanguard® action, is affixed to a CNC-machined, 6061 aluminum chassis that has a black, hard-anodized finish. The svelte, minimalist fore-end features hole spacing for Magpul MOE L5 (11 slot) and L3 (7 slot) accessory rails for true customization, as well as a stud to which a bipod and/or sling can be attached. Meanwhile, its oversize trigger guard grants a gloved finger unimpeded access to the trigger.

As with other Vanguard® rifles, the Modular Chassis is equipped with a match-quality, two-stage trigger that’s user adjustable for pull weight. It also has the familiar three-position safety and fluted bolt with dual-opposed locking lugs of its siblings.

Feeding the tactical rifle is a detachable, MDT pattern, staggered-column, polymer box magazine that holds 10 rounds of .223 Rem. or .308 Win.—its initial chamberings. This not only ensures supplemental rounds for follow-up shots or multiple target engagement are at the ready, but also immediate load adaptability; simply replace the magazine with one having loads optimally suited for the situation. Additional magazines will be available on Weatherby.com.

Borrowed from AR-style rifles, the Modular Chassis rifle is fitted with the 1.26-lb., bilateral Luth-AR Modular Buttstock Assembly (MBA) 1. Constructed from glass-filled nylon, the MBA-1 is fully adjustable for length of pull and comb height. The latter ensures consistent cheekweld and eye-to-optic alignment. Rounding out the package, a Hogue Inc. Overmolded pistol grip with finger grooves, texturing, and a palm swell enhances purchase and comfort.

The Vanguard® Modular Chassis rifle is scheduled to hit dealer’s shelves by November 16, 2016 with an MSRP of $1,449. Call your local authorized Weatherby® dealer to order yours today.
