Browning A5 Wicked Wing Vintage Tan

From Browning

The shotgun that waterfowl fear is now available in a limited edition camouflage pattern – Vintage Tan.

With stylish looks that separate it from the autoloading shotgun pack and the proven performance of its humpbacked namesake, the Browning A5 Wicked Wing has quickly become a hunter’s favorite in marshes and fields. This new model has all of the features included with other Wicked Wing models, plus the addition of a “new” Vintage Tan camo pattern. And it isn’t just for show, this retro-styled pattern disappears in a variety of environments.

The A5 Wicked Wing Vintage Tan is designed to reliably function with a wide variety factory game loads thanks to the short-recoil operation of the Kinematic Drive system. The Cerakote Burnt Bronze finish adds style and superior corrosion protection. An Inflex recoil pad effectively reduces felt recoil. The stock can be easily customized for length of pull, cast and drop. To learn more about the features and specs, as well access to downloadable hi-res images, please visit:

Additionally, the bullet jacket is engineered for reliable expansion at long ranges without failing at close ones. When it comes to terminal performance, Expedition Big Game Long Range gives the hunter massive knockdown power and surer kills.

Bergara Rifles B-14R Trainer Rifle Left-Handed 22LR

From Bergara Rifles

BPI Outdoors / Bergara Rifles is pleased to announce that their Bergara B-14R Trainer rifle will be available in a left-handed version in steel and carbon fiber barrel.

Ben Fleming, Vice-President of Sales, said, “We’re so excited to announce the release of the B-14R Trainer rifle in left-handed for 2021. The B-14R was so well received by our Bergara shooters last year, that we couldn’t leave out left-handed shooters without a great option to use! The new B-14R Trainer left-handed rifle will be built with all the great features and accuracy that the right-handed variant has. We hope our lefty shooters out there find this to be a great fit for them in 2021!”

Whether it’s for use in the surging popularity of .22 competitions or as a trainer, the new B-14R Trainer, is going to be a game changer for left-handed shooters in the rimfire world.

While it’s true that less than 10% of the market actually shoots left-handed, Bergara feels it is an important, yet largely underserved segment that we are excited to finally enter.

This new rifle is designed as a true rimfire trainer and competition rifle due to the fact that it is a full scale REM700 footprint, including a 90° lift and longer bolt throw. These features allow shooters to have the same size and feel to their centerfire rifle, or even set up as a clone to their centerfire to train with. Therefore, it also accommodates other REM700 compatible stocks, bases, and triggers.

Because the B14R Trainer is based on a full-size receiver design, it also provides a perfect platform to allow any shooter the ability to customize their rifle with several compatible accessories. The magazine features a modified single-stack design that is built to similar dimensions as a standard short action AICS mag.

Walther Performance Duty Pistol

From Walther

Walther, a company defined by over a century of engineering passion, precision workmanship and innovation, has entered a new era of manufacturing with its flagship elite handgun. The PDP, Performance Duty Pistol, has been designed by Walther to be READY, no matter the circumstance.

With revolutionary Red Dot Ergonomics engineered into the pistol, the PDP platform has been designed around making the switch to the popular red-dot sight system easier for the new RDS shooter and faster for the RDS veterans. The SuperTerrain serrations are uniquely shaped to protrude above the surface of the slide allowing for quicker and more responsive hands-on engagement with the pistol. Walther’s brand new Performance Duty Trigger shortens the length of travel and increases the tactile definition of the trigger break making the best striker-fired trigger on the market even better. The PDP is the most modular and versatile pistol ever designed by Walther and every PDP model comes red dot READY.

Available in 9mm, the striking design provides supreme performance in any condition, making this the go-to choice for shooters as an ideal firearm in both concealed carry and conventional service situations. The PDP is launched in two distinctly different frame sizes – compact and full size – as well as three different slides lengths – 4” and 4.5” in compact models, and 4”, 4.5” and 5” in full size models.

The PDP is the next evolution in world-class ingenuity for polymer frame pistols. Packed with features, Walther’s PDP is specifically designed to maximize readiness no matter the circumstance. The Walther PDP is how to stay READY.

“At Walther, we believe it is our duty to engineer the best possible pistol for anything our customers may encounter. We want them to focus on being READY for anything and not thinking about how or if their pistol will perform, we have done our job so they don’t have to worry about it.” Jens Krogh Vice President of Marketing and Product Development Walther Arms USA.

Century Arms Announces AP5 Line

From Century Arms

Century Arms is proud to introduce its AP5 firearm line to the US market. The AP5 or “Apparatus Pistol,” is a roller-delayed blowback firearm based and built off the original and historic design from the 1970s. The roller-lock platform has been widely respected as the preeminent design for over 50 years. Adopted for use across the globe, no other firearm of its type has been more successful. These firearms which are imported from the MKE manufacturing facility in Turkey are available in a full sized model designated simply as the AP5, a midsized version as the AP5-P, and a fully concealable version as the AP5-M.

Each model of the AP5 includes standard: a rugged plastic carry case, two (2) 30-round magazines, a factory cleaning kit, factory picatinny style optics mount, factory sling, and a gun lock. All AP5 firearms are chambered in 9×19 mm and have a cold hammer forged barrel with a 1:9.8” twist. The AP5 and AP5-P barrel each have a 3-lug quick attachment and 1/2×28 threaded end for suppressor mounting options.

“This firearms platform is iconic” says Century Arms Marketing Director Adam Ruonala. “We at Century Arms have been a leader in the US firearms importation business for many years, to now have the opportunity to bring such a fan favorite to the US market under our company flag is truly a huge honor for everyone involved in the project.” The AP5 line is available in stores now and a continuous stream of firearms will be imported regularly.

Aftermarket parts and accessories are available from a number of industry partners as well as from Century Arms directly. For more information on the AP5 one can visit www.centuryarms.com/ap5 .

EOTECH G43/G45 Magnifiers Now Shipping

From Eotech

The G43/G45 magnifiers developed by EOTECH® were initially launched to the world at SHOT 2020 and first deliveries were expected to begin in the 2nd quarter. These optics offer vast improvements over the G33 in overall length and eye relief. What wasn’t planned were the three massive hurdles that were dished out in 2020.

First, COVID19’s middle finger to the world forced businesses to go remote, limiting key areas of final development such as product qualification and testing. Also, the pandemic severely disrupted the supply chain process and the ability to receive consistent components. Add to the mix, political and civil unrest, which unfolded during the summer, drove firearm and accessory sales through the roof. As a result, part suppliers struggled to keep up with the demand. As if the dumpster fire wasn’t big enough, L3/Harris provided kerosene in the form of additional production delays and shifts in product focus. Inevitably, L3/Harris pulled development funding altogether to make the company’s year-end bottom line more attractive to their shareholders.

In August 2020, EOTECH was re-born after a well overdue divestiture from big corp. The last five months were spent unscrewing much of the in-place structure and focus. From that, new commitments to product development and customer service became a top priority, and to fix the delayed launch of the magnifiers.

“The new magnifiers are a key component in our product line and provide major benefits to those who use them in tandem with our holographic sights,” said Mark Miller, Product Manager. “It was crucial to get them into production and to our customers but not at the sacrifice of quality and performance. Testing and validation took some time but it ensured the end product was worthy of wearing the EOTECH brand.”

As of February 1, 2021, both G43 and G45 magnifiers have begun shipping with volume ramp-ups to occur in the next few weeks. For more information on the magnifiers and other EOTECH products, please visit www.eotechinc.com.

Taurus Introduces New Raging Hunter in .460 S&W

From Taurus

Taurus, manufacturer of premium handguns for defense, hunting, and sport shooting, is excited to announce another expansion of its premiere hunting revolver line with the introduction of the new Raging Hunter .460 S&W.

Since its introduction, the Taurus Raging Hunter™ has earned its chops as a dependable revolver capable of taking down big game. From the Southern swamps to the Rocky Mountains, the Raging Hunter has proven itself on tough animals and was even awarded the 2019 American Hunter Hunting Handgun of the Year.

For 2021, the Taurus Raging Hunter will be offered in the .460 S&W chamber. This expands the Raging Hunter lineup that already includes such popular hunting handgun calibers as the .454 Casull, .44 Magnum, and .357 Magnum/.38 Special +P.

“Handgun hunting is on the upswing as experienced hunters look to expand their options and, quite frankly, seek new and challenging ways to enjoy their hunting passion while putting healthy wild game on the table,” said Taurus CEO Bret Vorhees. “The Taurus Raging Hunter was a hit among veteran and new handgun hunters when we introduced it in 2019. We are now answering the consumer demand for even more chamber options and downrange performance with the new Raging Hunter in .460 S&W.”

The Raging Hunter series sets a new benchmark for dedicated hunting revolvers, beginning with its sleeved barrel construction for reduced weight, factory-tuned porting, and a gas-expansion chamber to help reduce muzzle rise. An integrated, full-length Picatinny rail along the barrel shroud makes optic installation easy. For those hunters who prefer open sights, the rear sight is fully adjustable for elevation and windage. To help manage recoil and ensure positive, no-slip retention, the Raging Hunter comes with an ergonomic finger-groove grip with cushioned inserts.

German Precision Optics Expands RangeGuide Line

From German Precision Optics

German Precision Optics (GPO), announces the expansion of its award-winning RangeGuide rangefinding binocular line with the introduction of a new 8×50. Ideal for those seeking less magnification, the 8×50 features exceptional edge-to-edge clarity as well as precise ranging on reflective targets out to nearly 1.75 miles.

Built on a 42” chassis, the 8×50 RangeGuide measures a mere 6.3 inches tall. Even with its small size, it performs big. It not only lives up to its 22.36 twilight factor; it actually can accurately range targets out to 3,062 yards with inclination/declination compensation, all while tipping the scales at only 35 ounces. Crafted with a magnesium frame, this rangefinder is extremely light weight, yet boasts an internal rangefinding system unmatched in the industry.

The compact 8×50 RangeGuide features an eye-safe Class 1 laser for instant readings (0.35-second response time) with true-range angle technology that calculates the proper distance to the target after measuring the angle to the target. The fast scan mode provides three readings per second via its orange OLED display with nine adjustable brightness levels. The RangeGuide even measures ambient temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius to help with shot placement on long-range shots. The Class 1 laser will reliably range a tree at 1,093 yards and a deer out to 766 yards. The display provides both the line-of-sight distance as well as the user’s choice of adjusted distance, angle or temperature.

Coupled with the GPObright™ high-transmission lens coatings, the RangeGuide’s double-HD laminated 50mm objective lenses are exceptionally beneficial for transmitting light in the twilight hours. The lenses maximize the sharpness and the resolution of the optical image. The 8×50 offers a wider field of view at 345 feet at 1,000 yards, and more eye relief at 19mm than its higher magnification counterpart. Like the 10×50, this new model features diopter focus adjustments on both left and right sides and utilizes GPO’s premium cut-brass-geared focus-wheel system for a very tight, consistent turning radius without any free-play.

Due to its armor coating, the RangeGuide is water- and weather resistant, making it tough enough to endure the harshest of hunting environments.

“The versatility, compact size and precise optical functions make the 8×50 the ideal rangefinder for hunters looking for something with a lower magnification,” said Mike Jensen, GPO, USA’s owner and CEO.

The new 8×50 RangeGuide binocular will be available Spring 2021 at GPO dealers nationwide or conveniently online at www.gpo-usa.com with a suggested retail price of $1649.99.
