Hi-Lux Adds 10 Junior High Power Teams to Junior Service Rifle Program

Saturday, January 12th, 2019

Hi-Lux Optics is proud to announce that 10 state junior teams have enrolled in The Hi-Lux Junior High Power Program. According to Hi-Lux’s COO, Chris Wu, the program was established to support the future generation of shooters and help service rifle competition return to national prominence. “As I walked down the firing line last year at the National Matches, I was blown away by how courteous and respectful these junior shooters are. If this is the future generation of shooters, we are in good hands.”

The Hi-Lux Junior High Power Program is a discount program for junior high powers teams on the scope specifically designed for CMP and NRA High Power “Across the Course” Competition.  In addition, Hi-Lux makes a contribution to the junior’s team for every XTC14X34 Competition Rifle Scope purchased.

Hi-Lux began the initial design process for the XTC 14X34 as soon as CMP/NRA optic rule change for 2016 was announced. “We studied the market, surveyed the competitors and saw a specific niche that we could fulfill. Many of highly desired features such as 1/4 MOA clicks and adjustable parallax were only available on very expensive scopes. Our goal for the XTC was to incorporate these features in a purpose built riflescope around the optic rule change – and offer it at a price that is attainable by the blue collar worker. Rather than “paying” for match results, we wanted to level the playing field.”

The Hi-Lux XTC 14X34 has been a big hit at national, state and local competitions. In addition, American Rifleman Magazine features a review of the Hi-Lux XTC 1-4 X 34 riflescope in the January 2019 issue. The review can be accessed here: www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2018/12/28/tested-hi-lux-xtc1-4×34-riflescope

Maxim Defense Announces the Release of the new PDX SBR and Pistol in 7.62x39mm and 5.56 NATO at SHOT Show 2019

Saturday, January 12th, 2019

The PDX™ dominates in close quarter encounters and achieves maximum energy on target without sacrificing accuracy at distance. At just 18.75″ in overall length and 5 lbs 11oz. in weight, the PDX™ is the ultimate choice for when concealment and personal defense is non-negotiable.

At the heart of the PDX™ is our newly developed Maxim SCW™ stock system. This patent-pending design cuts down the length of the stock from the 7” collapsed length of a GI M4 stock to only 4.” Additionally, it features an integrated BCG with interchangeable buffer weights to give you the flexibility to maximize performance and versatility without sacrificing functionality or form.

The PDX™ is equipped with a newly invented Maxim HATEBRAKE™ Muzzle Booster. This patent-pending device significantly reduces recoil, decreases the flash signature, pushes gasses and concussion waves downrange away from the shooter, improving overall experience with short-barrel pistols and rifles.

Friday, January 11th, 2019

Badger Ordnance is proud to announce the next evolution of their S.L.I.C.K. line of products, the S.L.I.C.K.-H. (Sniper Lightweight Integrator Combat Kit – Hensoldt)

The S.L.I.C.K.-H. is Badger Ordnance’s answer to electro-optic integration with the Hensoldt Spotter 45/60 spotting scopes. The S.L.I.C.K.-H. provides 4 Picatinny rails hard-mounted directly to the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock positions as well as 3 additional mounting positions on the 45° angles of the Objective Ring for additional rails or S.L.I.C.K. series accessories. The Objective Ring is also back-compatible with the accessory rails from the current issued S.L.I.C.K. (NSN 1006-01-672-7773)for the Leupold M151 Spotting Scope. The S.L.I.C.K.-H. is also equipped with an incredibly rigid removable, folding UNS/Thermal rail that can be adjusted by the user for either left hand or right hand fold. The UNS/Thermal rail features a positive mechanical lock that can be quickly disengaged by simply pulling out on the the rail and rotating to either the deployed or stowed position.

The S.L.I.C.K.-H. includes a rapidly adjustable rail grabber with a ¼-20 threaded hole for Manfrotto style tripod shoes. Also included is an offset Arca-Swiss adapter plate that will allow the end user balancing options when using the S.L.I.C.K.-H. with front mounted UNS/Thermal devices. The offset plate will also accept Manfrotto style tripod shoes for those not using Arca-Swiss ball heads but still needing additional offset. Mil. Spec. Hard Coat Type III Anodized, Tan.

Also new for Badger Ordnance’s 2019 S.L.I.C.K. lineup is the S.A.P. (S.L.I.C.K. Adapter Plate). The S.A.P. provides the end user the ability to direct mount several popular micro sights to the Objective Rings of Badger Ordnance’s S.L.I.C.K. series of mounts. The S.A.P. gives an observer the ability to co-align a micro sight to their spotting scope for rapid target acquisition, without the bulk of a Picatinny S.L.I.C.K. rail or micro sight Picatinny adapter plate. The S.A.P. is offered for Aimpoint T1/T2, Leupold Delta Point Pro, and Trijicon RMR series of micro sights. 

Both the S.L.I.C.K.-H. and S.A.P. are scheduled for a late Q1 release.

The Redback Company New Cierzo Shirt Colours and Design Update

Friday, January 11th, 2019

The Redback Company has added two new colours to their Cierzo Shirt range.  The new colours are Earth-Tone and Night Camo.

Ben O’Toole, the Managing Director of The Redback Company, says:

“The original Cierzo Shirts were really well received, with the Camouflage ones having sold out in October.  We also got some great detailed feedback from people who had bought the shirts and put them through their paces.  Using that feedback, we have updated our pattern.  We love getting user feedback so we can keep improving our products.”

The original shirts have had 2 inches added to the bottom of the shirt to make it stay in place better during dynamic movements.  There is also now a Long size which is six inches longer in the body and four inches longer in the arm for customers who are 6’1” and above.

We also made a one-off Night Camo Cierzo Shirt for a friend of the brand from some original 1990s fabric he had.  When we posted an picture on our Social Media we were inundated with requests for the garment.  Added to the popularity of our Night Camo Timmy Hat we felt we had to make it a permanent addition to the product line.

The final colour we added is Earth-Tone.  Again, after user feedback, we found that people wanted a darker colour for bushcraft and other outdoor activities where they did not want to wear camouflage, but did not want to overly contrast with the environment either.  We looked for a colour that would blend well into the outdoors.  When we looked at animals, we found that a great many are various shades of brown and blend very well into the background.  We chose a shade that had the same effect.

All of our Cierzo Shirts are available for purchase now from theredbackcompany.com/product/cierzo-shirt
