Amabilis Introduces the .5 Fit

Tuesday, December 5th, 2017

Amabalis is currently running a Kickstarter campaign offering First Responder clothing, for both men and women. During this campaign, it’s a Hoody and Softshell. They are definitely full featured garments, but what makes them stand apart from others in this space is the .5 fit. Essentially, Amabilis has dealt the issue that many of us have of falling between standard sizing by introducing half sizes. Offered in both Men’s and Women’s sizing, the actual size is determined by measuring chest, waist, hips and sleeve length and these additional sizes will help with optimal fit.

I’ve had the opportunity to check out both garments and I like them. The Softshell integrates laser cut PALS webbing, although I had no use for it during the short evaluation period However, there are some very convenient pockets with magnetic closures on the chest. I also think the softshell has a rally motorcycle jacket vibe. Finally, I like the shoulder caps which are also common the the Hoody.

The Hoody is super comfy. The stretch panels are right where the need to be and I like the oversized snaps at the front opening. As I mentioned before, the abrasion resistant shoulder caps are a welcome addition.

Hoody


If that wasn’t enough, the garments are guaranteed for life.

Tuesday, December 5th, 2017

IMG_5492

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – December 4, 2017 – Savage Arms has great news for serious shooters and hunters who want more from their modern sporting rifles. Several options of the semi-auto MSR 10 Hunter takes the popular AR-10 platform to new heights, offering greater performance, expanded caliber choices and a modern design, plus a full suite of custom upgrades packaged as standard features. Shipments of the new rifles have been delivered to dealers.

The Savage MSR 10 Hunter is a compact sporting platform that still packs the punch of 308 Win., and 6.5 Creedmoor chamberings. The rifle squeezes even more performance from its upgraded Savage barrel with a 5R rifling, a BLACKHAWK! trigger with nickel boron treatment, and a tough Melonite QPQ finish. Other upgrades including a freefloat fore-end, custom-forged lower receiver and BLACKHAWK! adjustable buttstock and pistol grip turn the Hunter into the ultimate big game rifle.

In January 2018, MSR 10 Hunter will available in the 338 Federal chambering. Since its introduction in 2006, the 338 Federal has established itself has an extremely versatile, high-performance big game cartridge.

Built on the .308 case and “necked-up” to hold a .338 diameter bullet, this 338 Federal load offers hunters a faster muzzle velocity than the 308 Win. But with a heavier bullet. As a result, the short-action cartridge provides magnum energy for devastating performance on game, without magnum recoil.

Features & Benefits
• Compact AR-10 design
• 308 Win. (1:10-inch, 5R Right-hand Rifling) and 6.5 Creedmoor (1:8-inch, 5R Right-hand Rifling)

• Custom forged upper/lower for unique look and compact size
• Free-float M-LOK handguard
• BLACKHAWK! KNOXX AR Pistol Grip and AXIOM Carbine Stock
• BLACKHAWK! trigger with nickel boron treatment

Holiday deals from Grey Ghost Precision

Monday, December 4th, 2017

GGP-XMAS-Post

Just caught wind of some sale offers from Grey Ghost Precision. They are slashing prices of their two iconic rifles: the Heavy .308 and the Grim 6.5 Creedmoor. Having shot both of these platforms, they are absolutely badass instruments of violence… and that’s an unpaid opinion. GGP is also giving away a free lower receiver if you buy two ($120 a pop), or a free complete upper when you purchase a Light 5.56 or Dark 300blk 16″ rifle. Their uppers go for over a grand, so getting a free one in your choice of length is actually a pretty sweet deal (NFA rules apply if you plan on getting a 10.5 upper.)

On top of all that, the shipping is free too. Looks like the sale ends on Dec 11th. More info at www.greyghostprecision.com

End Of The Trail

December 1, 2017
Ibex is winding down. More specifically, Ibex is in the process of closing down its current business, and will cease operations as we know them sometime in February. As we sell through our remaining inventory, please understand that all sales are final, and we will not be taking returns or exchanges.

The passion inside the Ibex brand–for our products and for our customers–is very much alive, and we are confident that Ibex will get more time on the trail after we close out this current adventure. It has been an amazing one, and as we sell through our remaining products, we will remember the many great times we have all had together, and will be dreaming of what comes next.

We have always valued our relationships with our partners, fans and customers. We would not have had this epic journey if it weren’t for you. As we look to the end of this adventure, we are filled with gratitude and respect for those we’ve walked with along the way. To the shearers, spinners, knitters and sewers who helped us build our products: thank you. You helped us make great clothing, and we had fun doing it. To all Ibex employees, past and present: you filled this adventure with passion, love, and amazing stories (some of which best left untold). And to our customers: our goal was always to put you first and you rewarded us tenfold. Thank you for all the love and support.

All of us here have loved being a part of Ibex, being a part of a brand that has believed in the power of outdoor recreation, and of being impassioned members of the outdoor industry. It was core to what we did every day, and to what we all believe in.

As a way of honoring our passions, now through February, you have a chance to make a donation to one of two groups that have supported Ibex along the way.

Conservation Alliance
To help fuel and fund the protection and creation of North America’s wild places
Outdoor Industry Association
To help folks find jobs in the amazing outdoor industry
To support its Outdoor Foundation, which focuses on getting kids outside
Those of us left…we continue to take things day by day. We show up to work trying our best to support one another, to take care of our customers, and wholeheartedly try to create the best outcome for the Ibex brand. It’s not the work we had hoped to be doing together, but it’s important, so we push to bring our best.

As always, we thank you for the years of support and for the passion you have for our products and our brand. Please keep an eye out for great promotions on products we made with love, consider donating to the organizations above that have been a part of our world for a long time, and join us in dreaming about some epic next adventures.

We’ll see you down the trail.

Ted Manning, Ibex CEO

So long Ibex, we bid you adieu.
