ACCOKEEK, MD – Known for its distinctive brass receiver and repeating action, the 1866 Yellowboy was the first true “cowboy” lever-action rifle to be widely accepted by those who made their life in the saddle. To celebrate the rich history of this iconic firearm of the American West, Uberti announces the release of the limited-edition 150th Anniversary Model of the fabled 1866 Yellowboy.

The original 1866 Yellowboy signified an improvement over the original Henry rifle with the addition of its side-loading gate and fore end. Uberti’s sesquicentennial model retains these improvements and tacks on a few more to further enhance this 150-year-old classic. This lavishly engraved limited edition features the “transitional” flat-sided receiver, which straddles the Model 1860 and the 1866, a characteristic found only in very early 1866 serial numbers.

Now, a growing list of formerly shotgun-only states are approving the use of straight-walled rifle cartridges for big game hunting, opening up a host of new possibilities for sportsmen and women. Chambered in .45/70, the Uberti 1885 High Wall Big Game is poised to enter the market with a winning combination of 19th-century tradition and 21st-century functionality. Read more

ACCOKEEK, MD — One of the century’s most celebrated shotguns, the Benelli ETHOS rocketed onto the shotgunning scene in 2014 with its instinctive blend of form and function that blurred the lines between art and technology. Originally introduced in a 12-gauge platform and later offered in a 20-gauge configuration, the ETHOS family is now complete with Benelli’s introduction of a 28-gauge model of this acclaimed shotgun.Built around Benelli’s revolutionary and ultra-reliable Inertia-Driven System, the ETHOS remains lightweight and easy to maintain. But in designing the ETHOS 28-gauge, Benelli partnered with Fiocchi to develop another groundbreaking innovation for the shotgun world, a partnership which yielded the world’s first 3-inch, 28-gauge load. The 3-inch shotshell achieves the same velocity as a standard 2 3/4-inch, 28-gauge load but with a quarter-ounce more shot. The result is a 25 percent increase in knockdown power and 20 percent more pellets on target at 35 yards, giving shooters of the new ETHOS 28 gauge the extra edge on those bigger – and often warier – late-season birds.
