Magnum Research Releases Limited Edition Steampunk Desert Eagle

A Magnum Heirloom

Pillager, MN: Magnum Research, in collaboration with Dark Alliance and Koted Arms, is proud to announce the release of the Steampunk Desert Eagle, the ultimate incarnation of custom Desert Eagle craftwork. Only 20 such custom pistols will ever be produced, and each is completely unique in its own right.

The Steampunk Desert Eagle is a one-of-a-kind heirloom that is intricately engraved with gears and machinery reflecting a Steampunk motif. From the slide, to the frame, and across the grips, the artists at Dark Alliance and Koted Arms used the Desert Eagle as a canvas to engrave their vision of a steampunk universe. Each gun was then coated with a Cerakote Copper and Black finish, carefully chosen to reflect an antique character and dystopian 19th Century feel. The pistols are hand taped during finishing, so no two are exactly alike.

Each pistol is chambered in .50 AE, and comes with one seven round magazine. A certificate of authenticity is included, verifying that the gun is one of only 20 to ever be produced. All 20 Steampunk Desert Eagles will be offered for sale directly to the customer through the Magnum Research Custom Site. When they go live, they will go very, very fast. The Steampunk Desert Eagle is made to be shot – but that is up to the buyer. It may just be too gorgeous to take to the range. Keep your eyes on the countdown site, and be ready to buy! Read more

Springfield Armory Releases New 5.56mm Hellion Bullpup Color Options

GENESEO, ILL. – Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the release of three new color options — Desert FDEOD Green and Gray — for the popular 16”-barreled Hellion™ 5.56mm bullpup platform.

Originally released in early 2022, the Hellion answered the call for superior ballistic performance in a short, modular and fully ambidextrous 5.56mm bullpup platform. Unlike a traditional long gun, the bullpup system locates the action and the magazine behind the trigger and into the buttstock area. By doing this, it reduces the overall length drastically, while still allowing you to have a barrel long enough to retain effective downrange performance.

Based on a proven Croatian design, the Springfield Armory semi-automatic Hellion offers shooters a capable bullpup design with numerous modifications and enhancements for the American market. These includes an ability to feed from AR-pattern magazines, the use of replaceable AR-pattern pistol grips, M-Lok® slots in the handguard and six QD mounts. Read more

The Western Big Game Rifle

Parkman used a Hawken; T.R. favored a lever rifle. These days, bolt guns trump all…. Right?

Last fall I ran into a fellow toting a rifle in .338 Lapua. It had the profile and accoutrements for service in a sniper’s nest, including a scope with power enough for astronomy. He seemed over- equipped. Was he?

Hunting is more fun with a favorite rifle. If his is a space gun that costs more than a new kitchen and hurls bullets with 12 times the muzzle energy of a .45 ACP (adaptive carbine platform), bully for him. Send five times the thump of a .30-30 to 200 yards? That’s okay too. I’m not the mule packing his iron up the hill.

Wayne used Ruger’s No. 1 International in .303 to kill this buck at 220 yards. A delightful rifle!

A couple of miles across that prairie, I’d just shot a buck at 23 paces. My lightweight Ruger in 6.5 Creedmoor had excessive reach, its Trijicon sight at 3x, triple the power I’d needed. Read more
