Tuesday, January 12th, 2016Sneak Peek – Badger Ordnance M134 Compact Precision Rifle
Tuesday, January 12th, 2016When Badger Ordnance told us about their new rifle, we knew we had to share the news with you.
Much like its design, the M134 Compact Precision Rifle started life rather unconventionally. Just prior to SHOT Show 2013 we decided to cut down a Manner’s Composite Stock and a spare barrel to make a “mini rifle” for the purpose of displaying our products on a firearm without taking up the table space a full length rifle requires. We didn’t anticipate the interest that the little gun itself immediately received; it seemed like everyone wanted to buy one just like it. We continued to bring it to trade shows for several years and each time it garnished the same response.
As time went by and initiatives shifted with some of our other customer base, the request for a compact precision rifle continued to grow. As we considered how to approach the concept from the ground up, we quickly realized that the foundation of what we already had in a fiberglass stock fit the requirement, minus the extremely short length of pull. We set to designing an aluminum and steel retractable stock system that was compact, easy to manipulate, and offered an ideal combination of strength and weight savings. We mated this with a custom carbon fiber stock built exclusively for Badger Ordnance by Manners Composite Stocks, achieving an overall reduced length while still maintaining a standard length of pull and night vision/thermal integration capability. The heart of the rifle is built around our rugged M2013 action, fitted to a 14.25” barrel and pinned/welded muzzle device to meet the NFA required 16” overall barrel length. It features a detachable magazine system with our new Low Profile Mag Release and will accommodate the time-proven 10 rnd Accuracy International AW magazines.
The M134 Compact Precision Rifle will be available as a standard offering from Badger Ordnance beginning early in the second quarter of 2016.
IR Defense Launches New Mini-Thermal Sight at SHOT Show 2016
Tuesday, January 12th, 2016
Auburn, CA- IR Defense has designed the REAP-IR a new mini thermal sight that will be launched at SHOT Show 2016. The REAP-IR features the 640×480 resolution 12um micron LWIR thermal core of their IR Hunter Mark III with the compact size and weight of the IR Patrol. The unique combination of features makes the REAP-IR ideal for Special Operations, Tactical Teams and border security as well as hunters.
The REAP-IR features a 12° field-of-view with the 2.5x magnification and 20x digital magnification. When combined with the 12um micron LWIR thermal core and digital OLED display make for outstanding image quality. An integrated stadiametric range finder on the REAP-IR allows you to quickly determine distance to your targets. An additional feature is the 60hz fast frame rate that is extremely helpful when leading a shot or for fast moving targets.
Other features include multiple reticle save locations that allows the REAP-IR to be moved between different weapons without the need of sighting in every time. An easy to use digital read out allows the operator to quickly make any changes and choose different options. The read out also displays the current reticle positions for ballistic calculations and sighting in. Operators have the choice of five different reticle patterns and polarity options to best fit their needs and preferences. An easy to use thumb stick makes operating the mini thermal sight simple even in dark conditions and a flip-up lens cap protects the lens when not being used. The mini thermal sight can be used as a stand-alone system or in front of your day optics for added versatility. Mini D-Loc Picatinny Rail mount and battery extender are included with the system and an optional video output cable is available. The mini thermal sight weighs 20.8 ounces (590 g) and is 6.6 inches long and constructed to Mil-Spec standards. As with all IR Defense products the REAP-IR is designed, manufactured and, built in the US. For more information on the REAP-IR or any other IR Defense product stop by the US Night Vision booth #20105 or visit www.irdefense.com.
IR Defense has the leading line up of thermal weapon sights and thermal monoculars that are designed to meet the demands of the warfighter. Every system is assembled with the utmost care and precision to ensure you get a fully qualified device that you can trust your life to.
