Franchi Announces New Momentum and Momentum Elite Rifle Models

Accokeek, MD – Franchi’s Momentum and Momentum Elite — the first firearms built from the ground up to deliver the kind of ergonomic performance that is so essential for accuracy and to enhance shooter potential — receives a line expansion in 2024, with several models that provide new chamber, barrel, and stock color configurations.

The Momentum Elite, Franchi’s headliner bolt-action rifle for discerning big-game hunters, is now available in .30-06 Springfield and .450 Bushmaster chamberings. Both models come with a 22-inch free-float barrel dressed in Midnight Bronze Cerakote and are joined to a True Timber® Strata camo Evolved Ergonom-X stock.

Hunters who favor the more traditional uni-color stock and blued barreled action style will want to check out the three new-for-2024 variants of the original Franchi Momentum. This year, the Momentum is offered with 22-inch barrels chambered for .30-06 Springfield, .350 Legend, and the hard-hitting .450 Bushmaster. All three rifles are matched to Ergonom-X stocks in Hunter Gray.

Since their introduction, Franchi Momentum series rifles have earned the praise and respect of big-game hunters for their exceptional ergonomic fit, precision manufacturing, and factory-guaranteed 1 MOA accuracy when used with premium ammunition. Franchi engineers developed the Ergonom-X stock to be the most comfortable and best-fitting of any factory stock system, making it the perfect bridge between the shooter and the barreled action. In doing so, the Ergonom-X stock helps reduce shooter-induced shot disturbance and maximizes the rifles engineered accuracy for confident shot placement from any field position.

Additional features contributing to the Momentum and Momentum Elite series rifles’ exceptional performance include the crisp and adjustable Relia trigger group, robust, one-piece Dependa bolt with its short 60-degree throw, a free-floating, cold-hammer-forged chrome-molybdenum barrel, and a removable muzzle brake. Add in the plush TSA recoil pad for an up to 50% reduction in felt recoil and you have a rifle that is not only accurate but also comfortable to shoot and quick on follow-up shots.

Burris Optics Announces the All-New Eliminator 6 Riflescope

Greeley, CO – Burris changed the rifle optics industry forever in 2006 when it introduced the company’s first laser rangefinding riflescope. Since then, the company has worked to refine this all-in-one technology to give hunters a clear advantage in obtaining fast and accurate aiming solutions. With five generations of the popular Eliminator rangefinding riflescope under its belt, Burris takes the biggest leap yet with the release of the all-new, completely redesigned Eliminator 6.

Driven by an elite hunter mindset, the tenets of ‘Train Far. Hunt Responsibly. Don’t Miss.” pushed Burris engineers to integrate the most advanced ranging, environmental monitoring, optical performance, and ballistics technology into a single, unified platform. The Eliminator 6 gives hunters the utmost confidence in their ability to make the right shot under the toughest conditions, and does so with an entirely fresh, more streamlined appearance. Using the Eliminator 6, simply range your target, hold the illuminated aiming point on your target, and hold wind if necessary. Pull the trigger, and the Eliminator 6 eliminates the guesswork, allowing the shooter to focus on proper technique, ensuring more precision and ethical hunting.

Hunters who are familiar with the legacy Eliminator series will instantly recognize the Eliminator 6 as “something different,” and they would be correct. The foundation of the Eliminator 6 is a more contemporary riflescope chassis with a modern profile featuring objective and ocular bells aesthetically balanced around a robust 34mm tube. Function and form meld with an aggressively knurled cap and adjustment knob design that delivers no-slip operation even when wearing gloves. The parallax and illumination adjustments are now conveniently located on a conventional turret-style knob that also contains the range activation and brightness button array. Read more

Introducing the Taurus Expedition

Bainbridge GA – The Taurus Expedition, the first bolt action rifle from Taurus USA, is designed by hunters, built for hunters, and ready for your biggest adventure.

Based around the durable and incredibly popular Remington 700 action, the Expedition often delivers sub-MOA accuracy, thanks to its hammer-forged barrel. Another user-friendly touch is that Expedition feeds from commonly available AICS pattern magazines. The thoughtful design features don’t stop there. The stock features a scalloped cut, designed to make the gun rest perfectly in gun saddles. Hunters could also utilize the MLOK attachment point on the bottom of the stock, or the integrated Spartan Precision attachment point.

“The Expedition is, without a doubt, the product launch I’ve been most excited about ever since laying my hands on the prototype in Brazil,” said Caleb Giddings, Taurus USA’s General Manager of Marketing. “It’s not just a hunting rifle, it’s a rifle that was designed by hunters, for hunters. Every step of this gun’s creation had input from life-long hunters who’ve taken game all over the planet. That’s why it’s so packed with features, and yet is still able to come in with an MSRP under $1,000.” Read more
