WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – March 4, 2020 – Savage Arms’ new shotgun is redefining the way shooters think about versatility. With its Dual Regulating Inline Valve gas system and adjustable stock, Renegauge Field is one of the most ergonomic and adaptable semi-automatic shotguns ever made.
“Renegauge can do it all,” Jessica Treglia, Senior Brand Manager at Savage Arms said. “With the D.R.I.V. gas system, shooters can go from the range to the hunt without making any adjustments to the gas system. From target practice to dove hunts—or even high-flying geese—Renegauge Field can do it all.”
The American made Renegauge Field is available with a 28” or 26” barrel. Every Renegauge is built with Savage’s commitment to refined ergonomics. The fit of a Renegauge can be adjusted in 20 different ways. From the length of pull and the comb height to the drop at heel, the stock can expand or contract as needed. This perfect fit is crucial for accuracy and performance.
And Renegauge has even more adaptability built into its action. The D.R.I.V. gas system takes only the pressure it needs from each shot to cycle the action. Any excess pressure is vented through the front of the gun. The result is a fine-tuned action that can cycle low-recoil target shells as easily as it cycles magnum hunting loads, and with no need for adjustment from users.
Features:
• D.R.I.V. gas system
• Adjustable stock for length of pull, comb height, and drop & cast
• One-piece, chrome plated action bar assembly
• Chrome plated reciprocating components
• Stock rod buffer to reduce felt recoil
• Fluted barrel with melonite finish
• Carbon steel ventilated rib with red fiberoptic sight
• Competition-ready easy loading magazine port
• Oversized controls
• 3 interchangeable flush mount choke tubes (Beretta/Benelli) – IC, M, F
• Hard-sided carrying case
Titan Retention recently introduced zip-on pack compatibility for their weapon retention straps. Zip-on Packs are now standard for armor carriers. Plate carriers like the JPC 2.0, Eagle Tactical Ultra & Low-Vis, and Eagle MMAC all offer a zip on rear pack option. Until now, Titan’s retention straps would interfere with zipping on a rear pack unless it had PALS webbing on the outside, which many do not. For operators that utilize a zip-on rear pack, they now have the option to run the Titan Strap without compromising the function of zipping on a rear pack.
They did this by laser-cutting their retention straps to route through the zipper cutouts that the cummerbund straps use. The loss of strength from the cutouts in the webbing is negligible. The 1.5″ zip-on specific strap retains 1200lbs of break strength and the 2″ version retains 1425lbs of break strength. The full width of the webbing where it contacts and retains the user’s weapon is preserved meaning no loss in retention capability.
We spoke with founder Dylan Dille and he had this to say, “It’s really important to us to not interfere with how the operator prefers to run their kit and this new option opens the door to a lot more kit configurations.”

Each week we bring you products that should be on all military standard issue kit lists. This week it’s the Deuter Alpine Guide 35+ in Multicam.
The Deuter Alpine Guide 35 in Multicam suits the needs of operators in the mountain environment.
Using the Deuter Alpine, X-Frame back system the pack is one of the most stable and comfortable packs to carry. The lid is extendable to accommodate expanded loads and allow for ropes or other pieces of hardwear. In order to maximise functionality it has a long side opening zip, which allows you to access the full body of the pack without disturbing the load under the lid or having to completely empty the pack.
The hip belt is removable and uses the Vari-Flex system, which enables it to move with you when moving thereby improving comfort and performance. A double pull waist belt gives secure adjustment and the sternum strap helps the load to remain in the right place on your shoulders.
The pack comes with a removeable sit mat and is compatible with hydration bladders up to 3 Litres. The sides of the pack provide ski loops and the front of the pack has points for two ice axes.
Overall this is the pack for mountain operations. It has long been the go to pack for people working in the mountains and is the only option for the military mountaineer.
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. — A new computational model could be used to expedite military operations aimed at evacuating civilians during disaster response or humanitarian relief.
Researchers at North Carolina State University, with funding from the U.S. Army, designed a new model to help planners and logisticians determine what needs to be where and at what time in order to complete an evacuation as quickly as possible. This includes where vehicles need to be when, and routing alternatives as well as supply requirements by location over time for food, water and shelter.
“What sets this tool apart from other models is that it is designed for use in both planning and during operations,” said Brandon McConnell, corresponding author of a paper on the new model and a research assistant professor in NC State’s Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. “In terms of specificity, we’re talking about where a given truck will be at any point in time during an operation.”
“The tool will need fine-tuning before it can be implemented — it would benefit from a user-friendly interface, for one thing — but it highlights the potential that operational models have for helping the military achieve its objectives both in or out of wartime,” said Dr. Joseph Myers, mathematical sciences division chief at the Army Research Office, an element of U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Army Research Laboratory.
The Army Research Office funded this research through a short-term innovation research grant that explores proof-of-concept ideas in a nine-month period.
The authors said this research will provide military logistics planners with capabilities that are currently lacking in prevalent logistics planning tools. The project lays the mathematical and operations research foundation for the development of a network-based model that captures routing alternatives and characterizes the solutions to conduct capacity planning and resiliency analysis in near-real time.
“There is a tremendous amount of complexity associated with the Army’s South Korea noncombatant evacuation mission, and that presents a great opportunity for investigation and improvement,” said U.S. Army Capt. John Kearby, first author of the paper and a former NC State graduate student. “The goal of this research was, and is, to encourage the development of better and more robust evacuation plans.”
Kearby is currently a U.S. Military Academy instructor, but previously served in Korea as an engineer company commander.
“The existing simulation models are both sophisticated and detailed — they have been valuable tools for helping us study operations like these,” McConnell said. “However, they’re not designed to respond to rapidly changing scenarios. The new model can operate in near-real time, making it operationally relevant. After all, even the best plans need at least minor modifications during execution.”
