Magnum Research® Introduces First Desert Eagle® in All Stainless Steel

Pomona, NY – Just in time for every gun enthusiast’s holiday Wish List, Magnum Research has taken their most iconic handgun, the Desert Eagle, and just given it an exciting new look. For the first time ever, the Desert Eagle .50 AE can now be purchased with an all stainless steel construction in the frame, slide, barrel, rail on the frame and an integral muzzle brake. The stainless steel models are 100% made in the USA and currently in production ready to ship to wholesalers and dealers.

“No handgun is tougher looking than our Desert Eagle.” says Frank Harris, VP of Sales and Marketing. “The Desert Eagle has always been considered a bit of a beast, but now, with the rugged stainless steel frame, slide and barrel, black appointments, and the new picatinny bottom rail for accessories, it has a very distinctive new look. This high quality stainless steel model has an overpowering appearance at the gun counter and at the range, and it will be much easier to repair minor scratches than some of our custom finish models.”

Also new from Magnum Research for 2015, the Desert Eagle all stainless steel model is offered in either a standard 6″ barrel or with an integral muzzle brake. The integral muzzle brake is also offered on the DE50, DE44, and the DE357 6″ barrel models in black. The integral muzzle brake will replace the add-on brake which Magnum Research has offered for several years. The integral muzzle brake offers significant recoil reduction, less muzzle flip and a new streamlined look. In addition, since the overall length remains the same as the standard 6″ barrel model, the same holsters will fit the integral brake model. The integral muzzle brake model also means it can be offered at a lower price than the add-on muzzle brake.

The MSRP on the new all stainless steel model DE50SR is $1793.00 and for the integral muzzle brake model, DE50SRMB MSRP is $1931.00. MSRP on the new DE50IMB, DE44IMB, and DE357IMB black with integral muzzle brake is $1742.00 and $1710.00 respectively.

Zeiss Expands Web-Based Ballistic Calculator

NORTH CHESTERFIELD, VA – Carl Zeiss Sports Optics, the world’s leading manufacturer in high performance sports optics, is pleased to announce the latest addition to their online ballistic calculator, the ASV+ bullet drop compensation system. This completely new module was developed for the various ballistic target turret solutions, such as ASV+ for VICTORY HT, as well as the lockable target knob turrets for the CONQUEST HD 5 series riflescopes. It is fully compatible with the latest Windows or Mac versions and the most popular web-browsers.

The new update virtually eliminates all guesswork for hunters and sport shooting enthusiasts alike. The user-friendly, intuitive ZEISS Ballistic Calculator developed by a team of the most experienced ballistics engineers, promises to help hunters and sport shooters of all levels to master the long-range shot. The update features a new design layout, country and language selection (English, German, Russian), and metric or standard (imperial) input and output. The program also features enhanced calculations for RAPID-Z, RZ-6 and RZ-8 ballistic reticles.

“With this newest update to our web based ballistic calculator, users will be able to access a fast and reliable method to calculate bullet trajectory and adjustment needed from an extensive library of manufacturer and handload bullet data. It enhances the cutting edge technology of our ballistic reticles and turret systems,” stated Mike Jensen, President of Carl Zeiss Sports Optics. “We are constantly striving to provide truly innovative technology that will compliment every skill set for our passionate customers”.

About ASV+
The idea behind the bullet drop compensation ASV+ for the VICTORY HT riflescope series is to achieve accurate aiming at all times. The system allows the user to adjust the elevation by simply turning the selected turret ring to the desired distance as marked on the elevation ring. The ASV+ system comes with ten high quality metal rings (one linear scale and nine distance scales), to accommodate the different bullet drop curves. Using the free web based ballistic calculator you can select the ring that comes closest to the trajectory of your chosen bullet type. These rings can be installed or exchanged quickly if another load is needed for a different hunting or shooting situation. The fine markings between each ballistic ring allow even more exact adjustments to be made to the different trajectories. This makes the ASV+ very precise The user only has to know the distance to the target then set the distance on the ASV+ turret and take careful aim.
The same system can be used for calculating the ballistic drop and adjustment required for the CONQUEST HD5, CONQUEST DL and older CONQUEST MC riflescopes with target turrets.

About the Web Based Ballistic Calculator
The ZEISS Ballistic Calculator allows users to first select from Rapid-Z/RZ ballistic reticle optimal power setting calculations or VICTORY ASV+ or CONQUEST target turret calculations and their ZEISS Riflescope from a drop-down menu. They then have the ability to select factory or hand load data as well as environmental variables, and then the system will calculate and display the optimum setting. The system allows the user to adjust standard settings for altitude, temperature, and incline angle as well as advanced settings for muzzle velocity, sight height above bore and sight-in distance. A convenient print/save or email option is also available to help users organize and process the information (pdf format) for field reference.

“The entire ballistic reticle marketplace is generally complex and confusing to most shooters.” stated Mike Jensen. “We have spent hundreds of man hours simplifying our system, making it more user friendly and self-explanatory. It’s the most accurate and simplistic system in the industry, designed by hunters for hunters and we are proud that it works exclusively with our RAPID-Z, RZ6, RZ8 reticles and now our ASV+ system.”

An updated app for iOS and Android devices with the enhanced features mentioned above will be available in Spring 2015. Read more

Michigan: Governor Snyder Signs Concealed Pistol Licensing Reform Into Law

Governor Rick Snyder (R) has signed Senate Bills 789 and 790 into law.  These important pro-gun bills create a more efficient, consistent and expedient concealed pistol licensing process through the creation of a true “shall issue” licensing system for all statutorily eligible Michiganders.

This legislation eliminates county concealed weapon licensing boards as well as the discretionary licensing authority currently held by those boards.  With the elimination of the county licensing boards, county clerks will administer the concealed weapon licensing process.  Background checks that are statutorily required to obtain a Concealed Pistol License (CPL) will be conducted by the Michigan State Police (MSP). However, the MSP would not retain the discretionary authority currently held by the county licensing boards because SB 789 mandates that all persons who statutorily qualify for a CPL (i.e. not prohibited under 28.425b and satisfy all financial and submission obligations) would receive a license.
