Envision Technology Introduces the Miniature Advanced Rangefinder System – Light (MARS-L)

January 5th, 2022

Envision Technology, LLC, manufacturers of state-of-the-art EO/IR technologies for the military, law enforcement and commercial markets, has introduced the newest addition to the Envision product portfolio, the Miniature Advanced Rangefinder System – Light (MARS-L).

MARS-L is a weapon-mounted laser rangefinder (LRF) which is purpose-built for the operational end user, with a heavy focus on Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) when compared to existing systems. The MARS-L achieves this while maintaining required capability attributes, such as a long-range eye safe (1550nm) LRF, visible pointer, on- board ballistic computer (Applied Ballistics), and a large OLED display to allow the user to navigate the simple and intuitive user interface.

The compact and lightweight design (< 7 ounces, which is unmatched in the industry), is feature-rich and minimizes impact on the host weapon system and operator load. MARS-L is capable of successfully ranging a man-sized target out to 1,500 meters and offers the user additional rangefinding modes for specific mission scenarios. The integrated Bluetooth module allows the user to interface with external devices such as a Kestrel weather meter and/or external displays.

“As an American manufacturer, and small business, we take pride in delivering innovative and top-quality products to meet the needs of our war fighters,” stated Envision President, Mark Belanger. “We are proud to provide these solutions to the men and women who continue to put themselves in harm’s way to protect our freedoms.”

Come see it in person during SHOT Show 2022 at the Maxim Defense Booth # 11668

Beretta Holding Group Companies Temporarily Halt Participation In Large-Scale Indoor Events

January 5th, 2022

Beretta Holding Group Companies Temporarily Halt Participation In Large-Scale Indoor Events

Due to the sudden and dramatic increase of COVID-19 infections during the past 2 weeks, including many breakthrough cases, the Beretta Holding Group companies in the U.S.A. (Beretta U.S.A., Benelli U.S.A, Burris, and Steiner eOptics) have announced the immediate suspension of participation of their employees in large-scale indoor gatherings. This decision was made because of near-term staffing challenges and concerns about the ability to prevent contagion in enclosed, crowded spaces.

Regrettably, this means that the companies will not be present in their booths this month at the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) SHOT Show in Las Vegas. The Beretta Holding Group companies in the U.S.A. confirm their full and continued support for NSSF’s mission and have already pledged their exhibit renewal for the 2023 SHOT Show.

The Companies will continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 situation as it evolves and will reassess their decision as appropriate later in the year.

January 5th, 2022

Fort Worth, Texas (January 4, 2022) – XS® Sights is pleased to introduce its newest armorers block for AR platforms. The XS AR Upper & Lower Receiver Armorers Block is designed to allow gunsmiths or do-it-yourself enthusiasts to hold an AR-15/M4, AR-10, SR-25 or DPMS GII receiver in a bench-mounted vise to assemble, modify or maintain almost every AR pattern modern sporting rifle available.

“Most armorers blocks will only fit one specific style AR rifle,” said Addison Monroe, Marketing Manager for XS Sights. “Our gen 2 block provides versatility, allowing the user to work on upper and lower receivers of almost any AR pattern rifle. It’s virtually a one-size-fits-all solution.”

Made in the USA from 6061 T6 aluminum, the versatile, durable, and reliable XS Armorers Block comes with pins to lock in the receiver and fitment screw for the AR 15 lower. To allow bracing into the mag well of AR10 lowers, XS offers a 3D printed adaptor plate for purchase. For those who prefer to print their own, access to prints for the adaptor plate are available free of charge at xssights.com. The Armors Block works with a DPMS patterned 308, DPMS GII, Armalite Rifle, and standard AR 15/10 pattern rifles.

Retail Price: $83.00

APEX Ammunition to Exhibit at SHOT Show

January 5th, 2022

Columbus, Miss. (January 4, 2022) – APEX Ammunition, makers of handloaded, ultra-high-density Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) shotshells, will showcase its ammunition offerings at the 2022 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, January 18-21 (Booth # 71104).

APEX pioneered the commercial use of 18.1 g/cc density TSS in 2017, and today offers a comprehensive line of shotshells for Waterfowl, Upland, and Predator and Deer hunting, in addition to its renowned Turkey TSS loads.

Waterfowl

APEX offers a variety of waterfowl loads to meet the needs of discerning hunters who value superior performance and craftsmanship. Waterfowl TSS shotshells are meticulously handloaded for ultimate knockdown power. The TSS/S3 Steel™ Blend duplex loads feature No. 7.5 or 9 TSS combined with No. 2, 4 or BB S3 Steel shot in 12-gauge and No. 4 shot in 20 gauge. The APEX S3 Steel™ line features premium-grade zinc-coated steel and the same Tungsten-grade wad system used in the APEX TSS loads for superior patterning and consistency.

28-gauge, 16-gauge, and 410 bore waterfowl loads are available upon request.

Upland

Whether you are hunting grouse or Huns out West, quail in the South, or late-season roosters across the Great Plains, APEX Upland Bird TSS helps you put more birds in hand. Available in 3-inch 12-and 20-gauge loads.

Upland Bird 3-inch 16-gauge, 2 ¾-inch 28-gauge, and .410 bore 2 ½ and 3-inch loads are available upon request.

Predator

Shotshells for predator hunting typically meant low pattern count and massive lead pellets leading to limited performance. APEX Predator TSS, offered in shot sizes 4, 2 and BB, capitalizes on superior density to deliver extended range and penetration while maximizing pattern retention for ultimate knockdown power on coyotes, hogs and deer.

Turkey

APEX’s legendary Turkey TSS offerings bring a new level of performance to sub-gauge shotguns. Now available in 20-gauge No. 9s, 28-gauge (No. 9 and 9 ½) and .410 bore (No. 9 ½), APEX Turkey TSS shotshells are designed for maximum penetration at extended ranges. Handloaded for ultimate consistency and quality control, APEX TSS allows the use of smaller shot sizes and larger payloads for maximum pattern density and downrange energy. Also available in 10-gauge, 12-gauge and 16-gauge loads.

APEX also offers Smalltown Hunting Blend loads which feature a combination of No. 7 1/2 and No. 9 shot TSS as well as Ninja Turkey TSS loads.

The 2022 APEX Ammunition Catalog is now available online at ApexAmmunition.com.
