Breakthrough Clean Technologies Launches Field Lens Kit with US Optics
January 10th, 2017January 10th, 2017: Breakthrough Clean Technologies & U.S. Optics are pleased to unveil their newest collaborative kit: The Field Lens Kit (FLK).The FLK was designed to be a “field ready” optics cleaning kit and create a solution for a problem that U.S. Optics had spotted. When U.S. Optics identified the need to create a kit that met the shooters’ needs, they looked at the most technologically advanced company in that subject matter; Breakthrough Clean.
Breakthrough (with input from U.S. Optics) designed an anti-fog cleaning solution specifically made for the task of keeping the shooter on glass. Breakthrough also took a hard look at what tools would be necessary without including items that would augment the size of the kit un-necessarily. The FLK highlights the essential tools needed to keep an important piece of hardware, like an optic, “Service Ready”. The contents of the kit were carefully chosen to aid the shooter in keeping their optics in the best working condition.
Kit includes the following:
•?Breakthrough Clean & U.S. Optics marked Lens Pen X1
•?Breakthrough Clean & U.S. Optics marked Lens Pen cleaning cloth X1
•?Breakthrough Clean – Lens Cleaning Solution X1
•?Breakthrough Clean storage pouch X1
“A scope (or optic) has been the shooters lifeline for some time now, and keeping it in working order is essential to the success of a variety of different missions. We were excited with this partnership and the opportunity to bring this product to the marketplace. We hope to continue cultivating these great partnerships in 2017 and create even better relationships along the way.”– Gabriel Cabrera (Marketing Director for Breakthrough Clean)
The Field Lens Kit will be available for purchase soon at www.USOptics.com and will have a $34.99 MSRP.

January 10th, 2017Park City, KY- Grunt Style’s and Core’s Shooting Team participated in a 4-day precision rifle shooting competition at the Mammoth Sniper Challenge where they had an opportunity to test their skills, compete for prizes, and bragging rights.
On 8 January, in the Extreme Division, Spenser Berry and Bryan Morgan claimed 5th place and in the Open Division, Tim Jensen and Joe Caley earned 4th place.
Grunt Style’s COO Tim Jensen shared, “Despite the freezing temperatures and the vigor of the event, Spenser and Bryan showcased what Grunt Style and Core is all about: pride in self, pride in military and pride in country. I estimate that about 60% of the competitors dropped out early due to the extreme weather and the toughness of the course and its obstacles.”
“Marcus Harrison and Joe Harris of Mammoth put on another first rate long range event. We look forward to more great events with them and the Rockcastle Shooting Center”, said Grunt Style and Core Shooting Team member Joe Caley.
In addition to a great showing at Mammoth, Joe Caley and Tim Jensen co-hosted the “Rockcastle Gun Show” on ESPN KY/WWKU 1450 AM on 5 Jan 2017. “It was a great start to a great competition. It was an honor to share the stories of all the great people that make this competition one of the best around,” said Joe Caley.

The solid 34mm aircraft-grade aluminum tube allows for expansive windage and elevation ranges of 55 MOA and 100 MOA respectively with click adjustments of 1/3 MOA. The illuminated MilDot 3 RD reticle, located in the first focal plane, enables use of the rangefinding elements of the reticle on any power setting.

The side-focus parallax adjustment ranges from 27 yards to infinity and the integrated illumination control is also located on the side of the center of the scope, making adjustment in the field quick, easy and convenient. The RD illumination system features a highly defined illuminated red dot reticle with 16 reticle intensity settings for all light conditions and intermediate off positions between every setting. The auto-off function will switch the illumination off if unused for one hour.
The MeoTac 3-12×50 RD features Meopta’s MeoShield protective lens coatings, MeoQuick fast-focus eyepiece and an erector system designed for maximum holding force to withstand heavy caliber recoil. This scope also has an anodized exterior for scratch resistance and is waterproof and fogproof for maximum performance and durability.

ASA Announces Reintroduction Of Hearing Protection Act: A Bill To Remove Suppressors From The NFA
January 9th, 2017WASHINGTON, D.C. – The American Suppressor Association (ASA) is pleased to announce the reintroduction of the Hearing Protection Act (HPA) by Rep. Jeff Duncan (SC-03) and Rep. John Carter (TX-31). This historic piece of legislation, which was originally introduced by Rep. Matt Salmon (AZ-05) in the 114th Congress, will remove suppressors from the purview of the National Firearms Act (NFA), replacing the antiquated federal transfer process with an instantaneous NICS background check. The HPA also includes a provision to refund the $200 transfer tax to applicants who purchase a suppressor after October 22, 2015, which was the original date of introduction.
“The American Suppressor Association believes that citizens should not have to pay a tax to protect their hearing while exercising their Second Amendment rights,” said Knox Williams, President and Executive Director of the ASA. “We are thrilled for the opportunity to work with Representatives Duncan and Carter, who have reintroduced the Hearing Protection Act in this new Congress. Although we recognize that introducing this bill is the first step in what will be a lengthy process to change federal law, we look forward to working on the Duncan-Carter bill, alongside the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation and the NRA to advance and ultimately enact this common- sense legislation.”
Also known as silencers, suppressors are the hearing protection of the 21st century sportsman. Despite common Hollywood-based misconceptions, the laws of physics dictate that no suppressor will ever be able to render gunfire silent. Suppressors are simply mufflers for firearms, which function by trapping the expanding gasses at the muzzle, allowing them to slowly cool in a controlled environment. On average, suppressors reduce the noise of a gunshot by 20 – 35 decibels (dB), roughly the same sound reduction as earplugs or earmuffs. In addition to hearing protection, suppressors also mitigate noise complaints from those who live near shooting ranges and hunting lands.
Unfortunately, suppressors have been federally regulated since the passage of the National Firearms Act of 1934. The NFA regulates the transfer and possession of certain types of firearms and devices, including suppressors. Currently, prospective buyers must send in a Form 4 application to the ATF, pay a $200 transfer tax per suppressor, undergo the same background check process that is required to purchase a machine gun, and wait months for the ATF to process and approve the paperwork. In stark contrast, many countries in Europe place no regulations on their purchase, possession, or use.
The Duncan-Carter Hearing Protection Act will fix the flawed federal treatment of suppressors, making it easier for hunters and sportsmen to protect their hearing in the 42 states where private suppressor ownership is currently legal, and the 40 states where hunting with a suppressor is legal. This legislation will remove suppressors from the onerous requirements of the NFA, and instead require purchasers to pass an instant NICS check, the same background check that is used during the sale of long guns. In doing so, law-abiding citizens will remain free to purchase suppressors, while prohibited persons will continue to be barred from purchasing or possessing these accessories.
