Winchester Expands the Super X Line


Winchester® Super X® Adds Two 28-Gauge Loads for Upland HuntersEAST ALTON, Ill. – The light weight, mild recoil and smaller size of the 28-gauge shotgun makes it an increasingly popular option for upland hunters, whether busting roosters in tight cover or swinging smooth on a covey of quail. For these hunters, Winchester Ammunition is expanding its long-running Super X line of shotshells to include two new loadings in 28 gauge for 2016.

Both new 28-gauge loads will be chambered as a 2¾-inch round with 3/4 ounces of either No. 5 or No. 6 shot. Both loads will deliver speeds of 1,295 feet per second, yet will operate as a reduced recoil load, perfect for those shooters who prefer the lighter recoil and easy handling characteristics of this classic gauge.

Meprolight R4E Optimized Duty Sight for Glock Pistols


The Meprolight R4E Optimized Duty Sight is now available at www.themakogroup.com/r4e. The ultra-bright tritium-powered sight is designed to assist with target acquisition capabilities by helping shooters get on target, faster and more accurately.The R4E was uniquely designed in close collaboration with two U.S. Army Special Operations veterans who saw the need for a specialized sight to increase target acquisition time— a necessity in defensive shooting situations. The Optimized Duty Sight features five key elements for sight alignment. The rear sight features two horizontal lines and one vertical line, which line up with the vertical line and tritium dot on the front sight. The additional lines of the ODS design create a reticle effect and cause the eye to naturally focus on the front sight, which is critical in defensive shooting situations. The design leads the eye to focus faster by tapping into your intuition.

The R4E is available for all Glock pistols including a model for suppressed Glocks. Coming in October, there will be model-specific versions for the Sig P226/320, H&K VP9, including suppressed and for the venerable 1911.

To learn more about the Meprolight R4E, watch the video below from The Mako Group! In the video, you’ll learn about the unique design and get to see the sights in action.

Farm Bureau Asks Court to Block Federal Overreach on Sage Grouse Preservation

WASHINGTON – The American Farm Bureau Federation and Utah Farm Bureau Federation have asked a federal district court in Utah to overturn a host of illegal land-use restrictions hampering ranchers in the western states. The groups made the request as part of a motion to intervene on the side of the State of Utah in a lawsuit against the federal government. The litigation challenges federal land management plans imposing restrictions on ranching and other human activities in Utah as part of a larger effort to manage federal lands for species protection rather than for “multiple uses” as required by law.
