NEWINGTON, N.H., (January 18, 2021) – For 2021, SIG SAUER is pleased to announce the expansion of the M400 TREAD series of rifles with the introduction of the M400 TREAD PREDATOR, designed specifically for predator hunting and inclusive of feature changes to suit the needs of hunters.

The M400 TREAD PREDATOR is an aluminum frame rifle, with a Cerakote Elite Jungle finish to minimize visibility in woods or brush environments, a precision style stock that is adjustable for comb height and length of pull while maintaining a lightweight design, a 16” stainless steel barrel with thread protector to eliminate snag points, a lightened free-float M-LOK™ 15” PREDATOR handguard, a

Icarus Precision, Accuracy, Control, Enhanced “A.C.E.” 320 X-Compact Grip Module

January 21st, 2021

The SIG SAUER P320 is truly a modular pistol and with the introduction of the P320 Fire Control Unit as a stand alone product, it’s even easier to assemble your own custom pistol thanks to companies like Icarus Precision who are making great frames for this platform. Icarus came on my radar last year when I found out about their frames for the P320 which are machined from billet 7075 T-6 Aluminum. During this year’s SHOT Show on Demand, Icarus Precision unveiled a new model.

The new Accuracy, Control, Enhanced or “A.C.E.” 320 X-Compact Grip Module is a great choice for a concealed carry build.

This frame features horizontal textured index points on the front strap, back strap and sides, to help increase draw speed and handling making for a consistent positive and precise grip. They’ve also slightly modified the beaver tail to reduce muzzle flip.

Although it is designed to be compatible with the OEM Sig X-Compact 15 round mag, they have reduced the overall circumference of the grip handle profile. It will also accept the 21 round magazine. There’s also a deep undercut trigger guard allowing for a higher grip point. Finally, there’s a Mil-Std 1913 Picatinny rail and lanyard point.

Offered in safety and non-safety versions in Armor Black, Tungsten, Midnight Bronze, OD, FDE and Raw.

Available 1/30/21 @ 8PM EST.

Vertx Firebase Parabellum Bandolier

January 21st, 2021

It’s a bit unconventional. The four pouches can be configured upside or down and are sized to fit AR magazines, IFAKs, radios and other tools. To assist with retention, there’s overlapping elastic and Silicone printing inside the mag pouches.

As you can see, the mesh harness can be reconfigured so the Firebase Parabellum Bandolier can be worn as a conventional chest rig or under either arm.

There’s also a center stow pocket which can be used to store sensitive items like IDs and documents or IFAK.

Savage Arms Announces New Models and Chamberings for 2021

January 20th, 2021

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – January 20, 2021 – Savage Arms is proud to announce three dynamic new additions to its catalog. Guns & Ammo Magazine’s Shotgun of the Year for 2020 is now available in sporting model: RENEGAUGE Competition. The 110 Tactical and AXIS II are now being chambered for the 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge (ARC). And for long-range hunters, four Model 110s will be chambered in 28 Nosler.

“2020 was a big year for Savage,” Al Kasper, President and CEO of Savage Arms said. “2021 is going to be even bigger. We have our sights firmly set on innovation and really rounding out our catalog. These three models do just that. Each represents something our customers have been asking for. 6mm ARC is a round with a tremendous potential. 28 Nosler is pushing the limits for ethical hunting—and RENEGAUGE keeps on evolving.”

RENEGAUGE Competition

RENEGAUGE Competition builds on the American made 12 gauge’s success and adds some new elements specifically designed to give the platform a competitive edge. The extended magazine tube increases capacity to a full ten rounds. The barrel is finished with Melonite, while the receiver, magazine tube and Extended Skeet2 Light Modified Choke are finished in Cerakote®.

6mm ARC Chamberings

6mm ARC evolved from The Department of Defense’s request for a round that would rival the .308, but one that could be fired from smaller rifle platforms. Savage’s new 6mm ARC rifles make the most of the round’s dynamic flexibility. Tactical marksmen will appreciate 6mm ARC’s potential for weight retention and penetration, and the 110 Tactical is an ideal rifle for the job.

Hunters will appreciate 6mm ARC’s potential for long-range accuracy and weight retention, and the new chambering of the AXIS II provides a proven platform for the innovate new round.

28 Nolser Chamberings

28 Nosler is the most powerful 7mm cartridge commercially available. For long range hunts, 28 Nosler is a winner and these four new 110s are poised to make the most of the chambering.

The four model 110s that will debut the new chambering are well suited for hunting. The new 110 Timberline will be available in both left- and right-hand configurations.
