Uberti USA 1885 Courteney Stalking Rifle in 45-70

ACCOKEEK, Md. – Introduced in 2020, the Uberti 1885 Courteney stalking rifle harkens back to the dangerous times at the turn of the century where hunters and explorers roamed wild lands in search of big game and adventure. Originally available in .303 British only, Uberti USA continues to honor this tradition by offering this rifle in the popular .45-70 Government chambering.

The 1885 Courteney Stalking Rifle carries the name of famed hunter, explorer and conservationist F. Courteney Selous. Selous spent his life pursuing and collecting African game, becoming not only one of the most legendary “Great White Hunters” but also a scout, explorer and guide who opened many trails of the uncharted continent.

Just like its .303 British brother, the Courteney Stalking Rifle in .45-70 boasts classic British lines along with a case-hardened receiver, trigger and a rock-solid 1885 falling-block lever action. The AA-Satin Prince of Wales stock with a classic rubber butt-pad complements an African heartwood tipped forend to create a distinctive look that resonates from the time of Selous’ forays into the wild. The blued barrel sports a barrel band, a hooded front sight and a quarter-rib base with a fully adjustable V rear sight. The base is machined to accept Weaver-style scope rings, and a sleek quarter-rib with no provision for scope mounting is also available as an accessory to those preferring to hunt with open sights only. And weighing in at a mere 7.1 pounds, the rifle features sling attachment points on the barrel band and buttstock to make this rifle easy and comfortable to carry all day. Read more

NWTF: Act Now to Support Habitat and Forest Management on Federal Lands

The National Wild Turkey Federation is the longest-serving conservation partner of the USDA Forest Service and has worked on Forest Service lands across the country to improve habitat for wild turkeys and many other species for nearly 40 years.

Recently, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAA Fisheries proposed a new rule changing their regulations on Interagency Consultation for existing Forest Plans. The rule can help address a harmful court decision, known as “Cottonwood,” that has stalled many important forest management, wildlife habitat enhancement and wildfire-fuel-reduction projects developed by the Forest Service.

Lawsuits brought by environmental advocacy groups citing Endangered Species Act review and consultation rules and have successfully stalled or prevented vital habitat and forest restoration projects planned by the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management on lands they manage. The NWTF agrees with the need to follow ESA guidelines to protect threatened and endangered species, but some of these lawsuits are aimed to prevent active forest management in general, which is recognized as key to improving forest and habitat health and resilience to disturbances, such as insects and disease, and is crucial to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire.

Swarm Bone Collector Goes Gen 2

The second generation of Swarm 10X Technology debuted last year, and for 2021, the extremely popular Bone Collector series moves into Gen 2 technology. Bone Collector air rifles, endorsed by Michael Waddell and Travis T-Bone Turner, are Gamo’s top-performing small-game hunting airguns.

WOOX Introduces New Furiosa Micarta Rifle Chassis

Hickory, North Carolina – January 20, 2021 – WOOX has broken new ground with the introduction of the new Furiosa Micarta rifle chassis.

The Furiosa rifle chassis were introduce in 2020 and quickly gained a reputation for accuracy, reliability, and classic design. Now in 2021, WOOX is introducing the first rifle chassis of its kind, combining aircraft grade aluminum and micarta.

Micarta is widely regarded as one of the toughest materials made. During the production process, sheets of material are impregnated with colored dyes and phenolic resin. These sheets are then stacked together to achieve the desired thickness and bonded into a single sheet under tremendous pressure and heat. This process then produces a material that is impervious to cracking or warping. It also produces unique ergonomics with improved grip and never feels cold to the touch. Weather resistant, the WOOX Furiosa Micarta chassis cast off moisture, as well as most oils and solvents. An additional benefit is the exceptional vibrational harmonic dampening properties of the chassis material, which further assists accuracy. Read more
