January 20th, 2018SPARTANAT – Corvus Is Coming
January 20th, 2018
VIENNA, AUSTRIA – Corvus Defensio announces its first presence at SHOT Show and is proud to unveil its partnership with Steyr Arms, Inc., who will distribute their whole line of products in the USA.
Corvus Defensio will be exhibiting its full product line of innovative and high quality accessory parts for the Steyr AUG rifle family.
Established in October 2016 the company immediately presented a wide range of upgrades for the most famous Bullpup rifle.
Their goal was to enhance the pros and overcome the cons of the Steyr AUG rifle, that just celebrated its 40th birthday. With their accessory parts Corvus Defensio answers the desire to utilize and manipulate the Steyr AUG like any other modern sports or military rifle to meet state of the art rifle training standards. The Case Deflector enables the user to shoot from the left shoulder around barricades. The Enhanced Magazine Release Button allows faster and more reliable mag changes. A wide variety of accessory receiver and barrel rail systems enhance the utilization of optics, back up sights, lasers, lights, slings and bipods. And their newest product is a free float Handguard system which is an attachment to their 35 Slot Receiver Rail. It enables the shooter to wrap around his support hand like with any AR15 system without getting burns or other injuries from the hot gas exhausting at the gas port. Corvus Defensio will also present a Case Deflector for the AUG NATO stock now.
Meet Corvus Defensio at the booth of Steyr Arms, Inc. at Shot Show 2018 (booth number 10246). The staff of Corvus Defensio is looking forward to discuss their products and their general experience with the Steyr AUG with visitors of Shot Show 2018!

SIG To Offer Suppressed Upper Receiver
January 20th, 2018SIG is introducing a 300 BLK Upper Reciever Group which is compatible with both MCX and AR-style lowers. This short stroke gas piston upper features a 6.75″ barrel with a permanently attached 19 baffle, Titanium suppressor. It has two gas settings for use with sub and supersonic ammunition.
Remember, this is a piston upper so the lower receiver extension isn’t required. Consequently, it will come with the 1913 adapter to facilitate use with the AR lower reciever. This adapter accepts SIG’s 1913 compatible (vertical orientation) stocks. Additionally, the SUR300 comes with a Matchlite Duo trigger.
No word yet on whether this is based on SIG’s submission for the Naval Special Warfare Personal Defense Weapon program which is also in 300 BLK. Additionally, it looks like it may have applied some lessons learned from their submission for SOCOM’s Suppressed Upper Receiver Group program, which is in 5.56mm.
Bushnell Announces Dozens of New Optics at SHOT Show 2018
January 20th, 2018OVERLAND PARK, Kansas – January 19, 2018 – Bushnell, the industry leader in high-performance sport optics, will launch more than a dozen new optics at the 2018 SHOT Show, January 23 to 26 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The new Bushnell lineup includes a new Tac Optics line, as well as additions to the popular AR Optics and Elite Tactical riflescopes.
Tac Optics is Bushnell’s newest family of tactical riflescopes and red dots. Tac Optics riflescopes are available in four configurations, with multiple reticle options and 30mm and 1-inch diameter tubes. Tac Optics riflescopes were designed to improve the performance of every shooter, from novice to professional, and can adapt to any environment and application.
The new Tac Optics red dots feature three models. The Mini Cannon gives users four reticle options at the push of a button and delivers industry-leading battery life (more than 30,000 hours). The Lil P(rism) is one of the industry’s smallest prism sights, and the BDC reticle is ideal for carbines. The Big D(ot) is anything but small with a massive 37mm objective and FOV unrivaled in the red dot market. All three optics provide some of the brightest dots available, with market-leading battery life.
“The AR Optics line also gets new scopes and red dots,” said Bryan Parrish, product manager for tactical optics. “We have a new TRS-26 with longer battery life, a brighter, crisper dot and push-button operation. The First Strike 2.0 features longer battery life, a brighter dot and tool-less side compartment battery.”
Bushell’s AR Optics riflescopes are designed specifically for the AR platform. New models are available for nearly every popular AR caliber, including 22 LR, .223/5.56, .308, 300 Blackout and even 6.5 Creedmoor and new .224 Valkyrie. Each scope has a throwdown power change lever with two different heights, making these scopes as customizable as the rifles they share a name with.
In the competition scope game, Bushnell’s Elite Tactical line has built a reputation for extreme performance that goes far beyond the price tag. Bushnell’s DMR line of riflescopes are trusted by military, law enforcement and PRS champions – shooters who know every shot counts. The new DMR II Pro Riflescope combines that performance with ED Prime Glass. The best glass Bushnell offers, ED Prime Glass brings out rich color and the finest details, even (and especially) in low light. The DMR II Pro has all the other great features of its predecessor, and remains the only choice when precision is a requirement.
Bushnell Elite Tactical red dot also gets an upgrade. The CQTS II Red Dot is built with the quality, durability and performance that comes with the name. The Close Quarters Tactical Sight is a 30mm tube red dot and features four reticles, which can be switched with the push of a button. The 30mm tube red dot comes with a battery that can last 50,000 hours.
“Rounding out the Elite Tactical line, we’ve added the new Bushnell SMRS II and SMRS II Pro riflescopes,” said Parrish. “They are enhanced by the new CQ-BDC reticle, which is ideal for short- and mid-range scenarios. The SMRS II is black, with a folding throw lever and exposed turrets. The SMRS II Pro is built to meet the demands of the toughest users. It comes in flat dark earth, and features capped turrets and the fixed ThrowHammer throw lever for instant magnification changes.”
Attendees of the 2018 SHOT Show in Las Vegas can see the new at the Bushnell Booth #14551.
Bushnell, a Vista Outdoor brand, is one of the most recognizable and trusted names in precision hunting, tactical and recreational optics and accessories. For more information, visit www.bushnell.com.
