Bear Creek Arsenal HuntMaster 7mm Remington Magnum

The HuntMaster line from Bear Creek Arsenal is expanding bringing the 7mm Remington Magnum.

The 7mm Remington Magnum is a belted magnum. Recoil is more than most shooters want to endure. It is a medium to large game caliber. The HuntMaster 7mm features a 20” barrel, with a 15” free-floating MLOK rail, and a forward reciprocating side charger, allowing the shooter to charge the AR while staying focused down range and on target; all while allowing a fraction of the recoil felt in a traditional bolt action rifle. The HuntMaster line will allow hunters to take a second or third shot if needed, while also keeping hunting regulations with (2) 5-round magazines included. The 20” HuntMaster weighs less than 12 lbs. and will shoot sub-MOA groups.

The HuntMaster line is the latest in Bear Creek Arsenal’s continuing effort to provide the largest selection of calibers and options in the AR platform at an affordable price.

Hummingbird Season

Broad-tailed Hummingbirds are fairly common at many mountain feeders and alpine flower meadows (photo by Jim Merrit).
A male Black-throated Hummingbird is a rarely photographed but wide-spread western hummingbird (photo by Mason Maron).

Among the northern-nesting hummingbirds – Ruby-throats, Rufous, Broad-tailed, Caliope; even Anna’s and Allen’s Hummingbirds – the nesting season and post-fledging period is complete for 2024. Now there are probably 2 or 3 times as many hummingbirds of each species migrating south with recent fledglings bolstering populations. Certainly, now the center stage is our feeders and flower gardens as they provide food, shelter, water, and resting areas; and the importance of these resources can’t be underestimated.

The best part about fall hummingbird migration is that the dynamos are not in such a rush during late summer; not like they were during their spring migration to nesting areas. But that’s a good thing as the hummingbirds that stopover will likely spend additional time in our yards, neighborhoods, school campuses, business properties, and church yards, as long as they find what they need.

How to Easily Replace Your Factory Rifle Stock with a Premium AG Composites Stock

Gun enthusiasts and hunters often wonder, “How difficult is it to replace a factory rifle stock?” At AG Composites, we understand this is a common question among those new to tearing apart a bolt-action rifle. In response, we have compiled a comprehensive guide to help you understand the process and why you might want to consider replacing your factory stock.

Factory rifle stocks are typically made of either plastic (polymer) or wood. While plastic stocks are lightweight, they lack the rigidity needed for consistent shot-to-shot accuracy. Wood stocks, on the other hand, although more rigid, are heavier and prone to swelling and shrinking with changes in temperature and humidity. This can lead to moisture retention and rust development on the barrel and receiver components.

Moreover, factory rifle stocks often lack the ergonomic features that shooters desire. Some even make contact with the barrel, compromising accuracy. If you have decided that you want to upgrade to a custom aftermarket stock, the process of swapping them out is surprisingly straightforward, regardless of whether you choose a fiberglass or carbon fiber AG Composites stock. The results, however, are astonishing.

To replace your factory rifle stock with an AG Composites premium stock, follow these simple steps: Read more

Fed. Judge Rules Licensed Carry Ban on IL Public Transit Unconstitutional

A federal district court judge in Illinois has ruled that state’s ban on licensed concealed carry aboard public transit violates the Second Amendment in a case supported by the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF). The case is known as Schoenthal v. Raoul.

In a 50-page decision, U.S. District Judge Iain D. Johnston, a Donald Trump appointee in the Northern District of Illinois, Western Division, granted declaratory relief to the four plaintiffs — Benjamin Schoenthal, Mark Wroblewski, Joseph Vesel and Douglas Winston — who brought their lawsuit in an effort to carry concealed firearms on Metra and on Metra’s real property. In addition, Vesel and Winston also secured relief for riding on CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) and being on CTA property.

SAF was joined by the Firearms Policy Coalition in financially supporting the plaintiffs. Plaintiffs are represented by attorney David Sigale of Wheaton, Ill.

Defendants are Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and State’s Attorneys Rick Amato (DeKalb County), Robert Berlin (DuPage County), Kimberly M. Foxx (Cook County) and Eric Rinehart (Lake County), all in their official capacities. In his ruling, the judge dismissed claims against Amato and Rinehart. The ruling applies to Raoul, Foxx and Berlin as it applies to Schoenthal. The ruling applies to Raoul and Foxx as it applies to Wroblewski, Vesel and Winston.

“This is a significant victory for legally armed Illinois residents who rely on public transit,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “It is important that the court recognized Cook County Attorney Foxx’s argument that the ban was legal because Illinois is acting as a property owner was ‘breathtaking, jaw dropping and eyepopping,’ and that wasn’t a compliment. It demonstrates how far government will reach in an attempt to justify its effort to restrict Second Amendment rights.” Read more
