Leica USA Announces the New Rangemaster CRF Max

A Next-Generation Rangefinder with a Fully Customizable HUD via the Leica Ballistics App

Leica Sport Optics USA has unveiled the new Leica Rangemaster CRF Max (MSRP $1,499), the most advanced compact rangefinder in the company’s history. Designed for hunters and long-range shooters who demand precision and reliability, the CRF Max combines Leica’s renowned optical performance with cutting-edge digital integration and a revolutionary new heads-up display.

At the core of the CRF Max is its active-matrix microLED heads-up display (HUD), which delivers instant ballistic solutions directly in the optic, followed by new, user-programmable ranging logic that includes first, best, and last target modes, as well as EHR mode for bowhunting. With Applied Ballistics Elite built in, users can store up to 30 custom gun profiles, access a powerful on-board ballistics calculator, and receive holdover and windage corrections in real time, as far as Max can range. The new WEZ feature provides an extra level of decision-making confidence by displaying the likelihood of a successful hit under current conditions.

Beyond standalone performance, the CRF Max is designed to work seamlessly with today’s most trusted devices. Through its Bluetooth® interface, the unit effortlessly connects to the Leica Ballistics App, Applied Ballistics Quantum App, and Garmin® ballistic watches; Kestrel® and Calypso® weather meters; and OnX (coming soon), BaseMap, and Google Maps for a fully networked shooting solution. This connectivity ensures hunters and shooters always have the latest environmental data, GPS tracking, and ballistic information at their fingertips.

Weighing just seven ounces and measuring only 4.4×3.1×1.4 inches, the CRF Max remains one of the most compact and lightweight premium rangefinders available. Despite its size, it delivers a measurement range of up to 3,700 yards, on-board wind correction, and a full suite of environmental sensors, including station pressure, temperature, inclination, and compass.

Springfield Armory Releases New for 2025 SAINT Victor Rifles and Pistols

Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the launch of a collection of newly redesigned SAINT Victors. Made up of 5.56mm rifles and pistols with 11.5”, 14” and 16” barrels as well as 16” and 20” 7.62mm rifle variants, these new SAINT Victors feature enhanced components and professional-grade reliability. The result is a full line of top-tier defensive AR-pattern firearms.

A recipient of the top “gold” ranking in the “Member Tested and Recommended” (MTR) program of the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA), the new Victors are built on a solid foundation of forged 7075-T6 Type III hardcoat anodized aluminum receivers. Featuring low-profile, minimalist-style markings, they also feature the Accu-Tite™ tension system for an accuracy-enhancing fit between the receivers.

In addition, all these new Victors feature Radian® Raptor-LT® charging handles. Machined from 7075 aluminum and over-molded with high-strength, fiberglass-reinforced polymer, these provide ambidextrous functionality.

Out front, the new SAINT Victors feature 4150 CMV barrels with a continuous tapered profile, designed to deliver optimal heat distribution and rigidity. Featuring a durable nitride finish that provides a wear- and corrosion-resistant surface, taper-pinned/low-profile gas blocks and crowned muzzles, these barrels deliver both precision and reliability for demanding users.

The aluminum handguard features a full-length top Picatinny rail with T-slot markings, and ample M-LOK coverage for lights, foregrips and aiming devices. Free-floated for repeatable accuracy, the handguard is attached to the upper by a robust, patented mounting system with four integrated QD cups.

Topping off the muzzles of the 4150 CMV barrels are four-prong flash hiders, with the 5.56mm 14” model featuring a pinned and welded flash hider to bring it up to 16” in total length. Mid-length gas systems are featured on the 14” and 16” 5.56mm guns, while the pistols have carbine-length systems. The 16” 7.62mm has an intermediate-length system between mid- and rifle-length, and the 20” 7.62mm has a rifle-length gas system. Read more

Top 10 Preseason Checks for Web-Footed Quarry on the Water and Over the Fields

Early Canada goose and teal seasons are imminent (a few states have already opened resident only Canada goose seasons), so it’s time to check your waterfowl hunting kit – shotguns, boats, decoys, and blind bags, if you haven’t already. Following are ten go-time tips for hunters who are giddy for the most wonderful time of year.

ONE: Clean that filthy gun. Okay, okay, some hunters are good about gun maintenance, and the irons are tended to and spick and span right after the hunt – possibly stored much like a valuable archeological relic. Then there are the rest of us. Tear them down and get them ready for game day. This includes checking for magazine plugs and making sure said shotgun has the appropriate choke tube installed (remember you threw it in the corner of the closet the day after turkey season…).

Bonus Tip: Do. Not. Over-lubricate. Read more

FPC Blasts Federal Court’s Approval of Massachusetts Handgun Ban, Vows Appeal

Friday, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) condemned a decision by Chief United States District Judge Denise J. Casper that upheld Massachusetts’s ban on modern, constitutionally protected handguns and granted summary judgment to the state.

“The Court’s opinion is as dangerous as it is wrong. Incredibly, the judge held that Massachusetts’s handgun ban doesn’t even implicate the Second Amendment. In this bizarre and deeply flawed decision, the Court effectively said governments could ban every handgun make and model but one. This decision is absurd, lawless, and impossible to reconcile with binding Supreme Court precedent or the text and history of the Constitution,” said FPC President Brandon Combs. “Make no mistake: FPC will appeal this insane ruling and we will fight until this unconstitutional ban is struck down—whatever it takes, for as long as it takes.” Read more

teal duck swimming
Early goose and teal hunting seasons, as well as common gallinule, Virginia rail, sora rail and Wilson’s snipe seasons, open Sept. 1.

We get a lot of teal questions this time of year. Here is a highlight from the 2025 waterfowl hunting regulations summary that is one of the most frequently asked:

What can I hunt during the early teal season?

Only blue-winged and green-winged teal may be harvested during the early teal season. Hunters are strongly encouraged to refresh their duck identification skills for this season. Do not shoot if you are not sure of your target. The daily bag limits and possession limits are the same as those allowed in the regular duck hunting season.

The full waterfowl hunting regulations summary information, with information on teal hunting and everything else waterfowl, is now available online in mobile-friendly and desktop PDF formats.

Whether you’re looking for season dates and bag limits, hunting hours or anything in between, you can find it all at the link below.

SK Customs Debuts “Kingdom of Atzlán” Series

SK Guns®, the Nation’s only series-driven, limited-edition manufacturer of custom firearms, is proud to announce its new “Kingdom of Atzlán” series. Each installment of the new series will be a limited run of 500 Colt 1911s chambered in .38 Super, beginning with the inaugural “Huitzilopochtli” production.

The Kingdom of Aztlán and the deity Huitzilopochtli occupy a central place in the mythology and identity of the Mexica, better known as the Aztecs.

According to legend, it was from Aztlán that the Mexica people set forth on a long and arduous migration guided by divine signs, eventually leading them to establish Tenochtitlán in 1325. Read more
