NEW FIREARMS & ACCESSORIES

We make every attempt to only preview new products when they are actually available on the market. This spares consumers from wasting time trying to locate an item to buy when it hasn't yet left the prototype phase. Please note that during SHOT Show (January of each year) manufacturers often announce new items that are several months from stores: we still announce these despite not being immediately available for purchase.

Diana Bandit PCP Air Pistol: premium package for $180

9/26/2018

 
Picture
The new Diana Bandit has all the components you try to attain when you customize a Crosman 2240: the metal sights, multi-shot capability, floating barrel, integral suppressor and a pleasing ergonomic beechwood grip (easy to reshape if it's too big). PCP provides approximately one shot per pump so the refill-to-firepower speed is good. What's not to love, considering the assemblage comes in far cheaper than doing all that yourself. Diana may not be the most masculine moniker but it is a high quality brand that's been around a long time and stems from the finest German engineering. Ed.

This from their description:

With over a century in airgun experience, Diana knows exactly what airgunners want most in a PCP air pistol—streamlined features and affordability. The Diana Bandit is destined for greatness as a backyard friendly PCP plinker. Based on the action of their hit PCP—the Diana Stormrider, the Bandit takes a similar approach to repeating shot action with indexing magazines cycled by smooth operating bolt-action. With 7 shots in .22 and 9 in .177, shooters are sure to enjoy more trigger time with less reloading than most air pistols. Fueled by a 50cc onboard tank, the Bandit makes for a low overhead entry into PCP guns and can easily be filled with a handpump. The Bandit offers shooters flexibility in their shooting sessions starting with the sights. Each pistol features traditional open sights with fully-adjustable rear sights for shooting straight out of the box. However, if you prefer to mount some optics, remove the rear sight to expose the 11mm dovetail rail. Likewise, the Diana Improved Trigger (DIT) allows the shooter to customize the take-up on the 2-stage trigger for a personalized trigger pull. When you start shooting, you can expect quiet shots from a long fixed-moderator. If you’re looking for hours of backyard shooting fun knocking down cans or peppering paper targets, make the Diana Bandit PCP yours!


ranger point precision clover leaf sights

9/22/2018

Ranger Point Precision is seemingly hell bent on improving the most iconic of American rifles, the lever-action. Along with their fast-becoming-legendary M/94 Extractor Claw and their new Flyweight Loading Gate Spring (plus a range of other improvements) you can bring your 19th Century rifle firmly into the 21st Century with the Cloverleaf Peep Sight too. The levergun has always been my favorite firearm platform, not just because it's so iconic, and punctuates my best childhood memories, but because it works so damned well and I can shoot it like the dickens. This from their website: GOM

Innovation, attention to detail, uncompromising functionality, stunning good looks, and "clover leaf groups" precision put our RPP CloverLeaf Receiver Peep Sights in a class by themselves. Shoot beautifully.

What makes these peep sights different? The peep sight has been mired in compromise and this sight looks to stop that.
- Traditional receiver mounted rear peep sights are too tall, forcing you to go on a hunt for a suitable front sight when you'd rather be hunting.
- Delicate aperture stems are exposed to rough handling, come loose / unscrewed during use, and are prone to snagging.
- Elevation and windage adjustments use fiddly double set screws that often vibrate loose.
- Blued steel bases rust and lose their luster.
- And what aperture to choose? A .095" is precise, but worthless in low light hunting conditions. A Ghost ring is fast and bright, but not very useful for precision long shots.
At Ranger Point Precision, we believe that bad traditions should be rethought. The design team that brought you the innovative Marlin 1894 Extractor now brings you a brilliant new lever-action peep sighting solution. We didn't negotiate. We didn't compromise. We crushed it.
In the Package: All peep sights come with one base w/windage screw, one aperture spring w/ elevation screw, two mounting screws, one Allen wrench.
Note: Traditional open/round peep sight option comes with one .95" aperture screwed into the open peep hole, additional sizes available as an add-on.

CLOVERLEAF RECEIVER PEEP SIGHTS KEY FEATURES:
- Available for Marlin 336, Marlin 308, Marlin 338, Marlin 444, Marlin 1894, Marlin 1895, Marlin 450M, Henry H009 30-30, Henry H010 45/70 (coming later this Summer Marlin 39A and Henry Big Boy Steel options)
- Sleek, low profile, snag-free winged base secures the aperture spring against damage and zero loss while presenting an elegant, dare we say sexy?, profile.
- Low aperture height elevations (from .26" - .36"). For Marlin Firearms rifles, if you like your front sight, you can keep your front sight. Seriously. No, we mean it. For Henry's, some come with a pretty tall front sight so you may need a shorter front sight.
- Clearly marked, scope-like windage and elevation marks make for quick and precise adjustment
- Patent pending CloverLeaf aperture option provides an exceptionally large, bright target picture while still allowing for scope-like, precise shot placement. 
- Patent pending one-piece aperture spring assembly offers robust, repeatable adjustment, and interchangeability between all bases. Aperture spring assembly options include:
  • 1) CloverLeaf fiber optic peep (yellow or orange) / spring assembly
  • 2) CloverLeaf peep /spring assembly
  • 3) Traditional open / round aperture peep / spring assembly with one .95" screw-in aperture (additional aperture sizes available: .60" and .125")
- Matte blasted top sighting channel greatly reduces reflective light interference.
- Anodized 7075 billet (black or clear) or lacquered brass bar stock bases look great for a lifetime.

Ruger 10/22 BX-25X2 Magazine

9/10/2018

 
Picture
Shop around online and you'll find these for $30 a piece. The Ruger BX-25x2,10/22 Ruger 22 Long Rifle Tandem 25 Round Polymer Black Magazine is a 50 round factory magazine for the Ruger 10/22. The middle is a single piece molded into opposite facing BX-25 magazines, doubling the capacity of the original so this magazine is essentially two BX-25 magazines molded into one, not just screwed, bolted, or glued together. Double your fun with 50 rounds of .22 LR -- compatible with any .22 LR Ruger® 77/22® rifle, 10/22 rifle, SR-22® rifle or 22 Charger™ pistol, this magazine combines two BX-25™ magazines into one. When the first 25 rounds are spent, simply flip the BX-50 around for an additional 25. Easily disassembles for cleaning.

The original Ruger BX-25 Magazine was designed from the ground up, in-house at the Ruger factory, for flawless function and reliability in any Ruger 10/22 rifle or carbine. A rugged polymer body and follower make the magazine capable of handling prolonged use and almost any environmental condition. The steel magazine feed lips are engineered to withstand thousands of rounds without significant wear, drastically reducing ammunition feeding-related malfunctions and solving a problem that has plagued increased-capacity 10/22 magazines since their inception. The BX-25 magazine's 25-round capacity and excellent functional reliability are certain to make any trip to the range more enjoyable, with greater time spent shooting and less dedicated to clearing malfunctions and reloading.

Each magazine comes with one factory dust cover. Made in USA.
