VORTEX® STRIKE EAGLE® 1-6×24 AND 1-8×24
NEW RETICLE, NEW LOOK, NEW ATTITUDE

BARNEVELD, Wis. The updated Strike Eagle® 1-6×24 and 1-8×24 offer the tactical solution value-minded shooters have been craving to adapt to any tactical situation.

Built around the new AR-BDC3 reticle—an updated design that makes ranging distances and holdovers simpler and more intuitive, with references out to 650 yards—the new Strike Eagle® also features a thread-in throw lever for rapid adjustments. It’s an LPVO that can take you from close quarters to way down range, and it’s optimized for the .223 and .556 platforms, making it perfect for the modern tactical rifle.

You still get all the features that made the original Strike Eagle® such a powerful tool across a wide variety of scenarios. A glass-etched reticle means not only is the reticle extremely crisp and precise, you still have a point of aim without power. And, when the Strike Eagle® is powered up, the illuminated reticle provides precise aiming in low-light conditions.

Plus, we’ve updated the Strike Eagle’s® design, making for a cleaner, sleeker profile. It’s beauty on the outside, all beast on the inside, and ready to take your AR farther.

MSRP:
$399.99 – Strike Eagle® 1-6×24 (MOA) 
$499.99 – Strike Eagle® 1-8×24 (MOA)

New Escort BTS Bullpup Shotgun – Available in 12GA & .410
Bentonville, AR (January 22, 2020) – New to the Escort Versatile Tactical Shotgun lineup is the BTS bullpup.  It offers all the perks of the VTS series shotguns in a more compact, portable package.  This next-generation shotgun is available in either 12 ga or .410 cal, and is offered in either black or FDE Cerakote.  The new inline gas piston design is mounted around the barrel, minimizing bulk and allowing the use of a proper bullpup layout.  The tough polymer lower receiver also doubles as the forend grip, with soft rubber inlays for improved handling. Its magazine well is lined with durable alloy for smooth, long-lasting performance. The synthetic barrel cover features Hatsan’s patented ThermoDefend technology that absorbs and dissipates heat while containing the gas piston operating system.
Recoil control is distributed between a soft rubber buttpad and a long recoil spring located behind the gas piston.  The reversible charging handle offers versatility to suit varying shooter preferences. The soft rubber pistol grip is removable and can be exchanged for one of many currently available aftermarket options to suit the individual user.  The one-piece carry handle sight can be replaced with included flip-up sights for a lower profile or when using mounted optics. Picatinny rails are also located on either side of the forend to accommodate a variety of accessories.
The 12-gauge models feature an 18″ barrel with removable chokes, including an extended cylinder bore choke brake that helps tame recoil with heavy shot or slugs.  Also included are Full and Improved Cylinder flush-mount chokes, with additional options available from HatsanUSA. Each gun ships with two 5-round magazines, but an optional 2-round magazine is also available.  The gun is chambered to accept both 2 ¾” and 3″ shells and will cycle them interchangeably with no external adjustments required by the shooter.
The .410 models feature a 20″ barrel with integrated choke suitable for both shot and slugs.  Offering the same recoil-absorbing characteristics as the larger caliber models, this shotgun is one smooth operator.  Also shipping with two 5-round magazines, the optional low-capacity mag holds 3 shells. The gas piston operates in the same manner, cycling both standard and magnum loads smoothly and reliably.
As with all Escort shotguns, the barrels are proof tested at the factory to ensure quality and durability.  The hard chrome and/or Cerakote coatings are built to withstand the harshest conditions and look good while doing it. HatsanUSA offers a 5-year limited warranty with all Escort firearms.

 Bushnell Expands Engage™ Optics with Three New Models

 

OVERLAND PARK, Kansas – January 22, 2020 – Bushnell, an industry leader in performance optics, has expanded its popular line of Engage products with three new models for 2020. Engineered with modern features hunters and shooters demand, the new Engage models consist of a new riflescope with illuminated reticle, a new 20-60x80mm spotter with metal chassis and a new 10x42mm binocular.

Designed to deliver high-end quality at affordable prices, the new Engage products continue to produce leading results whether used on the range or in the field.

Engage Riflescope – For 2020, Bushnell has added a new riflescope to the Engage line with the availability of a new 3-9×40 riflescope with illuminated reticle. Combining premium glass with an illuminated riflescope reticle for superior target contrast in low light situations, the new Engage riflescope makes sight acquisition quick an easy. Six brightness settings enable precise aiming in any lighting situation while the scope’s low-profile design allow it to be easily mounted on a variety of firearm platforms. In addition, the riflescope features capped elevation and windage turrets to prevent unwanted movement along with a fixed 100-yard parallax. Additional standard features found on both riflescopes include a 1-inch tube, second focal plane design, fast focus eyepiece and EXO™ Barrier lens technology for protection against all elements.

Engage DX Spotting Scope – Purpose built for the hybrid hunter/shooter, the Engage DX spotting scope simplifies long range viewing with fully multi-coated optics combined with a new rugged construction. The 20-60x80mm spotter provides users with bright, clear images while its new metal chassis and rubber armor protect the optical system for a lifetime of use. High quality images are always guaranteed through Bushnell’s dielectric prism coating and patented EXO™ Barrier finish. The new Engage DX spotter is standard with an angled eye-piece with twist-up eyecups along with a built-in sunshade for easy operation during long days in the field. Additional new features include built-in picatinny accessory rails at the rear of the spotter for optional accessories and a rotating tripod collar.

Engage X Binocular – For those in search of a quality pair of binoculars with enhanced low-light performance at an entry level price point, the new Bushnell Engage X 10-42mm binoculars won’t disappoint. Designed with a lightweight, IPX7 waterproof construction that is 23% lighter than the Engage DX 10-42, the new binoculars are ideal for extended use. High quality images are ensured through fully multi-coated optics along with the company’s proprietary EXO™ Barrier lens technology for protection against water, fog, dust and debris. The new Engage X binoculars have been designed to fit comfortably in the hand and feature durable rubber armor with aggressive texturing for use in inclement weather. The binocular’s ultra-smooth focus wheel allows users to quickly find their target while providing the perfect definition to help ensure no detail goes unnoticed. For customized viewing controls, the Engage X binocular is standard with twist-up eyecups and an adjustable diopter. Tripod compatible for those seeking added stability, the new Engage X binoculars are ideal for everything from hunting to general observation.

The Engage products along with other new optics models will be on display during the 2020 SHOT Show (Booth No 14551), January 21-24 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Butler Creek Introduces New Featherlight Multi-Purpose Sling 

New Sling Designed to be Lightest Model Ever Produced by Butler Creek

  

OVERLAND PARK, Kansas – January 22, 2020 – Butler Creek, maker of smart, field-proven hunting and shooting accessories, is excited to announce the lightest rifle sling ever produced by the company with the introduction of the Butler Creek Featherlight sling. Designed to be 45% lighter than any other model offered by the company, the new Featherlight sling features an industry first design with the use of a close cell foam inner material.

The new Featherlight sling is as comfortable as it is durable, resulting in a true multi-purpose sling perfectly suited for long days in the field. Whether used on a bolt-action, shotgun or modern sporting rifles, the Featherlight sling is easily added to any firearm through the use of optional swivels or a conventional strap.

Once in the field, hunters and shooters will appreciate the Featherlight’s breathable construction. Made possible by cut out slots that are evenly spaced across the close cell foam, the Featherlight sling reduces more trapped heat than other competitive models. The Featherlight’s close cell foam also provides superior gripping ability, allowing it to easily adhere to synthetic clothing.

For added security when navigating rough terrain, the Featherlight sling features a large thumb loop attached to the bottom of the sling. Additional features include two built-in cartridge holders giving shooters immediate access to extra ammo should the need arise. Adjustable from 22 to 36-inches, the Featherlight sling is the perfect addition to any long gun.

The new Featherlight slings will be on display during the 2020 SHOT Show (Booth No 14551), January 21-24 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Celebrating 10 Years of onX Hunt
 

10 Years of onX Hunt

It’s onX’s 10th anniversary. We’ve come a long way from a small team working away in a Missoula office. Now we have offices in both Missoula and Bozeman, craft products for hunters across the country and have added a second product, onX Offroad. But much of the original team is still here, and we’re staying true to our roots.

 

It’s not uncommon for people to sneak into work after a morning’s hunt, or for us to cut out a little early and go enjoy a bit of fresh powder. We’re in the business of enabling outdoor adventures, and we couldn’t do it without your support. We can’t wait to see what the next decade brings.

 

We sat down with onX Founder Eric Siegfried to talk about the founding of the company, and what the future holds for onX.

Curious how we’ve evolved this past decade? Take a look.

Federal Introduces FireStick: New Ground-Breaking Muzzleloader Rifle Propellant System

ANOKA, Minnesota – January 21, 2020 – The expert engineers at Federal Ammunition knew there could be a better, easier and safer way to hunt with a muzzleloader. New for 2020, Federal Ammunition is launching FireStick, a proprietary and newly-patented muzzleloading propellant system that is safer and easier to use than ever before.  Developed with Traditions and Hodgdon, this new system revolutionizes a platform for hunting enthusiasts. 

This new product will be on display in Booth No. 14551 at the 2020 SHOT Show, January 21-24 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The FireStick is scheduled to ship in the Summer of 2020.

The new Federal Premium FireStick is a premeasured self-contained powder charge. It consists of a polymer capsule precisely filled—using strict specifications at Federal’s ammunition plant—with an exact charge of all-new, ultra-clean black powder substitute Hodgdon Triple 8 granular powder. The sealed capsule utilizes a breakable front section (cap) that completely encases the powder charge. To see more, visit https://www.federalpremium.com/firestick.html.

The primary benefit of the FireStick is best-in-class safety, followed by convenience, consistent accuracy, ease of cleaning, simplicity of use, and more. See a promotional product video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGqSxUFakQk

Operation of the FireStick system is simple. First, the bullet is loaded from the muzzle to seat on top of a bullet shelf inside the barrel of the rifle. The break-open action of the rifle is opened. The FireStick is then installed into the open breech to seat just behind the bullet shelf and seated bullet. A 209 Muzzleloader primer is inserted into the FireStick propellant capsule to charge the powder. The break-open action is closed. It’s now ready to fire, once the hammer is pulled back and the safety is turned off.

Upon product launch, Traditions has an exclusive arrangement utilizing the FireStick system. At the time of print, one NitroFire .50 caliber rifle is available from Traditions. In addition, the company plans on launching several different rifles at various feature levels and price points to accommodate a wide range of customer preferences. Please visit www.Traditionsfirearms.com for more information.

The FireStick is sold in 10-count packs and carries an MSRP of $26.95 per pack. At launch, two pre-loaded FireStick charge levels will be available: 100-grains or 120-grains Hodgdon Triple 8. Users can expect projectile velocities equal to or better than what they are getting with equivalent loads from other types of in-line muzzleloaders. Learn more about Hodgdon’s new Triple 8 muzzleloader powder by visiting www.Hodgdon.com.

Research conducted by Federal Ammunition shows that many states define a muzzleloader by the requirement of loading the projectile down the muzzle manually. By this definition, many states should allow the FireStick to be legal for hunting big game during their muzzleloader seasons. However, all hunters should check their state regulations to ensure legality before use.

Federal ammunition can be found at dealers nationwide or purchased online direct from Federal. For more information on all products from Federal or to shop online, visit www.federalpremium.com.

Primos to Release New Hunting Products at 2020 SHOT Show 

Hunting Decoys, Calls and Blinds to Headline Key New Products for 2020

 

FLORA, Mississippi – January 16, 2020 – Primos Hunting, a pioneer in game calls and hunting accessories, will showcase multiple new products along with extensions to the brand’s popular lines of decoys, game calls and hunting blinds during the 2020 SHOT Show (Booth No 14551), January 21-24 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Known for bringing to market innovative products that improve the hunting experience, Primos continues this longstanding tradition with over a dozen new products set to debut in 2020. From ground blinds to new box calls, Primos continues to give hunters a decisive advantage when heading into the field.

“Like many of our innovations at Primos, our focus remains on helping to improve the success rates of hunters at all experience levels,” said Ben Brettingen, Brand Manager for Primos Hunting. “With several of our new products, we saw an opportunity to improve the tools available to hunters so that they could focus on what matters most to them – the hunt.”

 

New for 2020 product launch highlights include:

Primos Photoform Jake and Hen Decoys – The most realistic decoys on the market! Utilizing a proprietary process that allows an actual image of a turkey to be printed on a 3D modeled lightweight foam, the new Photoform Decoys are the next evolution in turkey hunting. Light enough to be carried around all day, the new decoys can be quickly setup to simulate the most realistic environment possible.

Smokescreen Ground Blind – Utilizing one-way see-through technology that allows hunters to see out while not allowing game to see in, the Smokescreen provides 270° viewing capability.  With 7 shoot-through ports and 3 viewing windows, no game animal will go unnoticed. The new blind offers maximum room for up to 3 people to sit comfortability while remaining undetected.

Primos HideSight Ground Blind – Featuring Primos Ground Swat camouflage, these blinds disappear into any terrain you put them in. The top edge of the blind is lined with Brush Deception™ holders to hold in sticks, branches, and leaves, giving hunters the ability to use natural elements to keep them better concealed.

Foggy Bottom Box CallThis new double-sided box call gives hunters the ability to sound like two different hens. Great for yelps, cuts, clucks and even purrs, the Foggy Bottom Box call is a new extension to the popular series of Foggy Bottom Pot calls and snuff tubes. The new Foggy Bottom Box Call is standard in Mossy Oak Original Bottomland Camouflage. 

Rivers Pot Call – Crafted from the most exotic wood, detailed with intricate engraving and finished with a premium glass surface, the Rivers Cut finds its home in the woods or on the mantle. Originally designed for Wilbur Rivers Primos, The Rivers Cut proudly bears his name, and creates a sound only carefully selected hardwoods can produce.

3-N-1 Locater Call – The shrill cries of peacocks, pileated wood peckers, and coyotes are well known for driving gobblers crazy and this new 3-N-1 Locator can produce them all. Give yourself that extra advantage this spring as gobblers won’t be able to resist giving away their location.

These new products, plus many more, will be on display at Booth No 14551. For more information on the complete line of Primos products, visit www.primos.com.

Bentonville, AR (January 20, 2020) – New for 2020 is another airgun innovation from Hatsan. The Blitz is a select-fire semi-/full-auto, Pre-Charged Pneumatic, .30 caliber air rifle that produces upwards of 50 ft-lbs of energy. Users can easily switch between either firing mode with just the flick of a switch. The gas-operated cycling mechanism does not rely on battery power and is capable of firing at a high rate of speed. This new rifle features a large 580cc carbon fiber air tank that can provide over 100 shots of semi- or full-auto excitement. Two 16-round spring rotary magazines are included with the rifle, and the loading key has its own unique storage space on the stock.

The tactical all-weather synthetic stock not only looks great but boasts excellent ergonomic features, as well. The integrated pistol grip has rubberized panels to help facilitate a secure grip in any environment. An elevation adjustable cheek rest ensures proper sight alignment, and the buttpad is both elevation and angle adjustable so it can be customized to fit just right.

Equipped from the factory is a 1-piece carry handle with adjustable open sights that can be removed to make way for lighted and/or magnified optics of choice. Hatsan’s standard combination optics rail is integrated into the top of the receiver, allowing for the use of either 11mm dovetail or 22mm Weaver mounts. Three Picatinny accessory rails surround the air cylinder for ultimate flexibility in accessory mounting options. The Blitz also features a built-in manometer that is color-coded for easy reference.

Introducing the newest 

Bond Arms Rough Series  gun, The Grizzly

 

Granbury, TX (January 20, 2020) – As the shooting industry gathers at SHOT Show in Las Vegas from Jan 21-24, 2020, Bond Arms announces the newest member of its Rough Series family-the Grizzly. The new single-action double barrel pistol inherits the premium features found on all Bond Arms. Like all Bond Arms, the Grizzly features stainless-steel barrels and frames, cross-bolt safety, retracting firing pins, spring-loaded cam-lock lever and rebounding hammer. 

The Grizzly’s 3-inch barrel, with blade front sight and fixed rear sight, is chambered in .45 Long Colt and 2½-inch .410 bore shotshells. The Grizzly frame is compatible with all standard Bond Arms’ barrels. Vibrant rosewood grips engraved with grizzly bear artwork, the Bond Arms name and a checkered panel, add texture and character to the pistol. The pistol includes a matching leather holster embossed with a grizzly bear.
 
The Grizzly joins Bond Arms’ Rough Series that includes the Rowdy and Roughneck models. They build these value-priced pistols using the stainless-steel construction and quality control standards seen in all their guns but cut down on the polishing and hand-finishing, passing the savings on to their customers. Rough Series pistols undergo a minimal cleanup and deburring to make sure there are no sharp edges and then are bead-blast finished. Parting lines in the metal frame and trigger guard, as well a swirly tool mark on the barrel, may be visible. Sanding and polishing the frame removes tiny casting imperfections and rough areas, but with a rough finish, these unique marks are visible, giving each pistol its own unique “character.” 
 
While at the SHOT Show, stop by Bond Arms at Booth #731 and see the all-new Grizzly along with their full line of guns. 
 
Grizzly Features:
  • Stainless steel double-barrel and frame
  • Compatible with all standard Bond Arms barrels
  • Patented rebounding hammer
  • Retracting firing pins
  • Cross-bolt safety
  • Spring-loaded, cammed locking lever 
  • 3″ barrel 
  • .45LC / .410 bore
  • Rough finish
  • Includes leather holster
  • MSRP $377

BOND ARMS, INC. is located in Granbury, Texas and manufactures the award-winning Bond Arms Derringer – the finest in double barrel protection. Originally organized under the name Texas Armory, the company became incorporated as Bond Arms in 1995 with the idea that the Remington Model 95 over-under, single-action derringer could be converted from an Old West anachronism into a modern & reliable handgun. The barrel and frame were redesigned to safely fire modern calibers & the entire handgun is constructed entirely from stainless steel. This makes for a pistol that’s both strong and durable.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

  

Primos to Release New Hunting Products at 2020 SHOT Show 

Hunting Decoys, Calls and Blinds to Headline Key New Products for 2020

 

FLORA, Mississippi – January 16, 2020 – Primos Hunting, a pioneer in game calls and hunting accessories, will showcase multiple new products along with extensions to the brand’s popular lines of decoys, game calls and hunting blinds during the 2020 SHOT Show (Booth No 14551), January 21-24 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Known for bringing to market innovative products that improve the hunting experience, Primos continues this longstanding tradition with over a dozen new products set to debut in 2020. From ground blinds to new box calls, Primos continues to give hunters a decisive advantage when heading into the field.

“Like many of our innovations at Primos, our focus remains on helping to improve the success rates of hunters at all experience levels,” said Ben Brettingen, Brand Manager for Primos Hunting. “With several of our new products, we saw an opportunity to improve the tools available to hunters so that they could focus on what matters most to them – the hunt.”

 

New for 2020 product launch highlights include:

Primos Photoform Jake and Hen Decoys – The most realistic decoys on the market! Utilizing a proprietary process that allows an actual image of a turkey to be printed on a 3D modeled lightweight foam, the new Photoform Decoys are the next evolution in turkey hunting. Light enough to be carried around all day, the new decoys can be quickly setup to simulate the most realistic environment possible.

Smokescreen Ground Blind – Utilizing one-way see-through technology that allows hunters to see out while not allowing game to see in, the Smokescreen provides 270° viewing capability.  With 7 shoot-through ports and 3 viewing windows, no game animal will go unnoticed. The new blind offers maximum room for up to 3 people to sit comfortability while remaining undetected.

Primos HideSight Ground Blind – Featuring Primos Ground Swat camouflage, these blinds disappear into any terrain you put them in. The top edge of the blind is lined with Brush Deception™ holders to hold in sticks, branches, and leaves, giving hunters the ability to use natural elements to keep them better concealed.

Foggy Bottom Box CallThis new double-sided box call gives hunters the ability to sound like two different hens. Great for yelps, cuts, clucks and even purrs, the Foggy Bottom Box call is a new extension to the popular series of Foggy Bottom Pot calls and snuff tubes. The new Foggy Bottom Box Call is standard in Mossy Oak Original Bottomland Camouflage. 

Rivers Pot Call – Crafted from the most exotic wood, detailed with intricate engraving and finished with a premium glass surface, the Rivers Cut finds its home in the woods or on the mantle. Originally designed for Wilbur Rivers Primos, The Rivers Cut proudly bears his name, and creates a sound only carefully selected hardwoods can produce.

3-N-1 Locater Call – The shrill cries of peacocks, pileated wood peckers, and coyotes are well known for driving gobblers crazy and this new 3-N-1 Locator can produce them all. Give yourself that extra advantage this spring as gobblers won’t be able to resist giving away their location.

These new products, plus many more, will be on display at Booth No 14551. For more information on the complete line of Primos products, visit www.primos.com.
