ESCORT Shotguns Releasing All-New Bolt Action Hunting Rifle – The ERX

New for 2025, ESCORT Shotguns releases the ERX Series of bolt action rifles. The ERX is modeled with REM700 action, trigger, magazine, and optic footprints for ease of parts compatibility, and customization. Chambered in .308 WIN or .30-06 SPRG, the ERX provides the accuracy and modularity expected in modern designs with integrated features unheard of in most modern hunting rifles.

The .308 is available in an 18.5-inch barrel, while the .30-06 is offered in either 20 or 24 inches. Both calibers offer a 1:10 twist rate. The 4140 CRMO steel barrel is button rifled, and gas nitride treated with black chrome plating for superior protection and durability. It is then completed with 5/8”-24 threads with an included muzzle brake. The AICS compatible magazine fed rifle adds new options to level up available bolt action rifles. The thumb paddle magazine release at the front of the metal trigger guard makes reloading quick and easy. Safety is a standard and easy to use safety switch that takes guesswork out of safe operation. The bolt release is conveniently located opposite the safety switch on the left side of the receiver.

Based on the REM700 action footprint, internals are standard with 4140 CRMO steel recessed bolt construction. However, an M16 style extractor is incorporated into the design, enhancing the ERX features even further. 6-48 drilled and tapped screw holes allow for ease of mounting REM700 optic footprint options.

Victory in SAF-Funded Case Challenging Illinois FOID Mandate

A Circuit Court judge in Illinois has struck down the state’s requirement to have a Firearm Owner Identification (FOID) card to possess a firearm in the home for personal protection in a case supported by the Second Amendment Foundation and Illinois State Rifle Association.

The case is known as State of Illinois v. Vivian Claudine Brown. Ms. Brown is represented by attorney David Sigale of Lombard, Ill.

In his 15-page decision, White County Resident Circuit Judge T. Scott Webb observed, “The Defendant’s possession of a .22 caliber rifle within the confines of her home, even without a valid FOID card falls squarely within the protections afforded her by the Second Amendment.

“If an intruder had entered Ms. Brown’s home,” Judge Webb added, “and threatened violence towards her and, God forbid, she was forced to use that .22 rifle to defend herself, she would have committed a class A misdemeanor carrying with it a possible penalty of up to 364 days in the county jail. She could claim self-defense, but that does not change the fact that she possessed a firearm without a valid FOID Card. Such an outcome is asinine especially in this great nation that so cherishes the right to be secure and defend oneself within the home.”

“This is an important ruling in a case that has been up and down the Illinois judicial ladder a couple of times already,” noted SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “We expect the state to appeal again, which could put the case right back before the Illinois Supreme Court for the third time, and we are confident we will win. It’s hard to see how the Illinois Supreme Court avoids the constitutional issue, as they have done on the previous two visits.”

“Today’s decision reflects a correct application of Supreme Court precedent to unconstitutional restrictions on the rights to keep and bear arms,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “Illinois’ FOID card poses an untenable barrier to the exercise of Second Amendment rights in one’s home as the court correctly identified. Determining the FOID card to be an unconstitutional obstacle to firearms ownership and possession in one’s home was the only logical result.”

Utah’s Gun-Control Bill Failed Senate Committee

There has never been a more important time in sportsmen’s history than now to be involved and engaged in protecting our way of life. Animal extremists and other radical elements are working hard to cancel sportsmen’s rights and our way of life forever. Even Utah is not safe.

Last Friday, the Senate Natural Resources Committee heard a bill that would have cratered hunting and firearm ownership in the Beehive State. Thankfully, the bill overwhelmingly failed 5 to 1 to receive a favorable recommendation by the committee. Essential, defeating the bill for the year.

Utah’s 45-day legislative session is not over yet. The Sportsmen’s Alliance Government Affairs team will continue to monitor SB 130 and other bills moving through the legislative process. Nothing is completely defeated until the legislative session adjourns sine die.

SB 130 would have, among other items:

  • banned the import, sale, manufacture, transfer, receive, or possess, in certain circumstances, a gas-operated semiautomatic firearm;
  • required the Department of Public Safety to create a system for individuals who possess certain gas-operated semiautomatic firearms before January 1, 2027, to register the firearm with the department; and
  • required, beginning on January 1, 2027, a manufacturer or seller of gas-operated semiautomatic firearms that is manufacturing or selling the firearms to the government of the United States, a state, or a federally recognized tribe, to mark on the firearm that the firearm may only be used by a government employee in accordance with government policy;
  • created a waiting period, with certain exemptions, between the purchase of a firearm from a dealer and the delivery of the firearm to the purchaser;
  • created a criminal offense beginning on January 1, 2027, for a person to import, sell, manufacture, transfer, receive, or possess, in certain circumstances, a large-capacity ammunition feeding device. Read more

More Firearm Restrictions on Sportsmen: Bans and Mandatory Storage in Hawaii

Animal and gun-control extremists in Hawai’i are working overtime to destroy sportsmen’s rights, so they can receive an “A” rating from the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. So, it is no surprise that anti-sportsmen legislators are not wasting time scheduling legislation to add more restrictions on our way of life. The only way we can slow down the extremists is by being more actively involved and engaged in the process of protecting our values, rights and heritage at every level.

On Thursday, February 6, the House Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs is scheduled to hold a public hearing on three bills that will only add more red tape and restrictions to owning a firearm in the state. Please use the Take Action button to contact committee members and urge them to vote “No” on House Bill 893, House Bill 125, and House Bill 279.

> > > > TAKE ACTION NOW! < < < <

House Bill 893 expands the existing “assault pistol” ban to include commonly owned semiautomatic rifles and shotguns with a length less than 30 inches, with a fixed (except .22 caliber attached tubular device design) or detachable magazine and one or more feature. The bill also imposes a ban on standard capacity magazines capable of accepting more than 10 rounds.

House Bill 125 expands the existing firearm storage mandate to include using a properly engaged tamper-resistant mechanical lock or other tamper-resistant safety device that renders the firearm inoperable by any person other than the owner or authorized user. HB 125 will also hold the firearm owner strictly liable for damages incurred if the firearm was obtained as a result of a violation of the storage law.

House Bill 279 restricts an individual from carrying or possessing firearm parts outside of their home or business and only allows transport of firearm parts in an enclosed container to specific locations such as an FFL for repair, a target range, organized, scheduled firearm show or exhibit, or for a “formal hunter or firearm use” instruction. Firearm parts include the barrel, bolt, slide, frame, receiver, trigger, hammer, firing pin, cylinder, magazine or any other part necessary for a firearm to operate. Read more

SAF, CCRKBA Hail Trump Executive Order Protecting 2A Rights

BELLEVUE, Wash. —— The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) join in congratulating President Donald Trump for his Executive Order Friday protecting Second Amendment Rights.

“It is reassuring that after four long years of the executive branch assaulting our Second Amendment rights that the Trump Administration is investigating avenues to undo the damage inflicted by the prior administration,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “We look forward to seeing tangible results benefiting gun owners and the individual liberty of every American.”

“We are delighted that President Trump is following through on his promises to gun owners during the campaign,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “We are particularly grateful to see he is directing the Attorney General to examine all orders, regulations and other actions taken by the Biden administration affecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding American citizens during Joe Biden’s entire term in office.” Read more
