A Classic Reborn: Plueger Medalist Fly Reel

Pflueger Medalist – America’s Most Iconic Fly Reel

Columbia, SC – A classic is reborn in the new MedalistTM fly reel from Pflueger®. The standard arbor classic now boasts enhanced machined construction and technically advanced design. Built for freshwater applications, the Medalist is suited to tame cold-water, high-country trout or manage hard-pulling steelhead.

Lightweight and sporting the look of the traditional fly reel, the Medalist provides anglers with adequate backing capability for long fights with trophy fish. The reel is proven reliable and the click-and-pawl, precision-check-mechanism drag system provides the distinctive fly-reel sound fly anglers love to hear.

The frame and quick-release spool are machined from high-grade aluminum for tighter construction tolerances, precision operation and lower maintenance. The amber polymer handle adds to the classic look while also providing lightweight durability.

The reel is convertible for left- or right-handed retrieve and packaged with a protective reel pouch. The Medalist fly reel is available in three sizes with an MSRP starting at $119.95. Read more

MUCC Applauds U.S. Fish and Wildlife Decision Not to Downlist Wolves

USFWS Rejects HSUS Petition to List Wolves as ‘Threatened.’

LANSING—Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC) praised the decision by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to reject a petition seeking to list gray wolves in the United States as “threatened,” under the Endangered Species Act. The USFWS announced its findings yesterday.

“This decision by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists confirms that wolves are biologically recovered in the western Great Lakes and that state management plans, like Michigan’s, are sufficient to sustain the wolf population and are the appropriate way to manage wolves in the region,” said Amy Trotter, deputy director for Michigan United Conservation Clubs and a member of the Michigan Wolf Forum.

The petition was filed by the Humane Society of the United States and other anti-hunting organizations including the Center for Biological Diversity, the Fund for Animals, the Detroit Zoological Society, National Wolfwatcher Coalition and the Detroit Audubon Society. It requested that gray wolves in the conterminous United States, except for the Mexican Gray Wolf, be listed as “threatened,” which would preclude any state from holding a hunting season for them for any reason. The USFWS ruled that the petition lacked “substantial scientific or commercial information” necessary to consider it any further.

Among its findings, the USFWS stated that wolves in the conterminous U.S., which are made up of multiple distinct population segments of gray wolf, are not likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future due to any of the five listing factors, and that HSUS’s claim that they have to be present in all unoccupied suitable habitat to be considered recovered is “based on a misinterpretation of the Act.”

The USFWS further stated that state management plans are sufficient to sustain wolf populations in recovered areas, including where hunting and trapping is allowed. Read more

Savage Arms Introduces Magnum Target Rifle in 338 Lapua Magnum

SUFFIELD, Conn. – Long-range shooters who chamber the 338 Lapua Magnum have long been limited to a relative handful of expensive target rifles. The new Model 112 Magnum Target from Savage Arms™ provides a highly effective and more affordable platform for the powerful cartridge. Shipments of this new model are currently being delivered to distributors.

Savage built the rifle around its single-shot Magnum Target Action, and then coupled it with a pillar-bedded heavy barrel and Target AccuTrigger™, which can be adjusted by the shooter to a pull of just 6 ounces. The result is competition-grade accuracy at a price that lets shooters afford to send more rounds downrange.

Explosives and Gun Safes…Sound like fun

What is the perfect way to test the strength of a Gun Safe? Blow it up of course! That’s what Liberty Safe has done in its most recent round of their now famous torture testing. With the help of professional munitions experts, Liberty detonated explosive charges from the inside of the Safe to challenge the integrity of the Safe’s construction. A Liberty Fatboy and Fatboy Jr. are pitted against equivalent competitive brands to see which safes are the toughest!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWSWXUrNc2Q
Liberty’s advanced 2-piece body creates a much stronger box than other brands. When pitted against similarly priced safes, Liberty always outperforms. “We have been building safes for over 27-years and we know what it takes to build them right!” says Jamey Skousen, director of Marketing at Liberty. “Just because two safes may look the safe on the outside, it doesn’t mean they are built the same. That is why we do this kind of testing…it really shows that with a Liberty Safe, you are getting the best built safe for your money.”
