Browning Introduces New Hunter Series Safe

Morgan, UT – Value packed with security features and storage convenience usually reserved for higher priced models, the Hunter Series is the newest addition to the 2014 Browning ProSteel safe line-up.

The Hunter Series features the exclusive Axis Adjustable Shelving System (pistol rack included) and premium DPX Storage System with Quick Access Barrel Rack and Scope Saver. The Scope Saver allows long guns with optics to fit easily onto the door without taking up additional space inside the safe.

To keep firearms and other valuables protected, security features include sturdy 11-gauge steel body construction and a 1” Formed Door with inner plate for added rigidity. The Force Deflector™ Locking System uses a rotating cam that prevents forces applied to the handle or bolts from reaching the lock. Hardened steel pin lock protection guards against drill attack.

Pry-Stop End Bolts and 1¼” diameter chromed locking bolts on three sides of door help protect against pry attack. Hunter Series safes feature a 1200° F/60 minute fire protection rating.

Made proudly in the USA, Hunter Series safes are available with a textured charcoal or gloss black finish and feature a three-spoke chrome handle.

Two models will be offered: HR 37 version that is 60” x 43” x 25” with a suggested retail starting at $2,649.00 and the HR 26 version that is 60” x 30” x 25” with a suggested retail starting at $2,099.00.

Nikon Expands Popular M-223 AR Riflescope Line

One of the most complete AR riflescope lines has expanded even further with the release of Nikon’s new M-223 1.5-6×24 BDC 600.  This new M-223 is made with a 30mm main body tube, giving it a wider adjustment range.  There is also an illuminated reticle version, making this compact riflescope even more effective in low-light situations.

Both of the new M-223 1.5-6×24 riflescopes come with Nikon’s BDC 600 reticle that is calibrated for the trajectory of the .223 Remington/5.56mm NATO round with 55-grain bullet.  It offers shooters unique open circle aiming points at 100-yard intervals and additional hash-marks at 50-yard intervals to effectively compensate for bullet drop.

The M-223 1.5-6×24’s illuminated BDC 600 reticle can be adjusted to different brightness settings using the push buttons on the eyepiece and has up to 32 different levels of intensity for the orange center dot. When the illumination feature is turned off, the last brightness level is saved.  The illuminated reticle operates on a 3V lithium battery. Read more

Record Grizzly Ignites Questions About Trophy Categories

MISSOULA, Mont.–News traveled fast when conservationists learned the largest grizzly bear ever taken by a hunter had been entered into Boone and Crockett records. Nearly as quickly, however, came questions about why grizzlies are distinguished from Alaska brown bears. After all, aren’t these technically the same species?
The Boone and Crockett Club announced the new record grizzly on May 5.
Soon after, an Anchorage, Alaska, newspaper headline chided, “Giant Grizzly is One for Some Record Books, But Not Alaska’s.” The article pointed out that Ursus arctos does in fact grow to 10 feet tall along the coast, much larger than the newly heralded 9-footer killed far inland near Fairbanks. Why all the fuss about this “alleged record-setting” specimen from upstate? Read more
