The long-awaited Sauer 505 bolt-action rifle is now available in the United States after its European debut. Combining elegance and precision, the Sauer 505 features a skeletonized steel chassis and interchangeable, cold hammer-forged barrels for caliber versatility. Stock options include walnut (grade 5), traditional synthetic, thumbhole synthetic or ultralight carbon fiber. Its silky-smooth bolt cycle, ergonomic manual cocking system and adjustable trigger (0.77-2.75 pounds) enhance user experience. Blaser saddle mount technology ensures repeatable optics accuracy without re-zeroing. Weighing around 6 pounds with lighter stocks, the Sauer 505 is offered in a range of calibers.
MSRP: $3,200
Nextorch TA21 Pocket Carry Tactical Flashlight
Nextorch recently dropped the TA21 Pocket Carry Tactical Flashlight, a compact-yet-powerful tool designed for everyday carry and tactical use. Measuring just 3.8 inches and weighing 3.4 ounces, the TA21 delivers 1300 lumens with a beam distance of 175 yards. Built for versatility, it features four operating modes, including a red-light setting to preserve night vision, and a patented one-step-strobe switch for immediate high-output or strobe in critical situations. Constructed with aircraft-grade aluminum, IPX8 waterproofing and nano-ceramic strike points, the TA21 is both rugged and reliable.
MSRP: $95
POF-USA .308 Win. LMR ‘BASE’ Rifle
From the same family and even so close they can even share certain components, there’s one major difference between AR-15s and AR-10s: size. Running with the big-dog calibers, the AR-10 is a much larger affair. This fact alone makes Patriot Ordnance Factory’s release of its Lightweight Modular BASE Rife so intriguing. Spitting out .308 Winchester, it’s a battle rifle through and through, but in a package much more comparable to an AR-15 … so close that its 6-pound weight might slip under some of its small-bore cousin’s builds. POF’s rifle is a lights-out build to boot, outfitted with a 16.5-inch stainless-steel barrel, the company’s patented BCG, anti-tilt buffer and oversized heat sink barrel nut.
MSRP: $1,360
ERGO O-VFG SBMC
Ergo Grips expands its O-GRIP lineup with the O-VFG SBMC—a customizable vertical forward grip built for precision and comfort. Crafted from durable nylon 12, it features interchangeable rubber rings, allowing shooters to tailor the grip size and feel. Compatible with both Picatinny and M-Lok rail systems, the O-VFG SBMC also includes a threaded grip cavity for small parts or battery storage when paired with Ergo’s 4115 End Cap Plug.
MSRP: Starting at $40
Sig Sauer Foxtrot-MSR Lights
Often overlooked among the most important shooting tools is a solid flashlight. After all, you can’t hit what you can’t see. This is where something such as Sig Sauer’s MSR Lights is key. Designed to seamlessly integrate with both Picatinny and M-Lok mounting systems, the versatile light offers incredible illumination and convenience. Activated by a tape switch or push-button, the touch lights up 1,350 lumens and 33,000 candela for an extremely penetrating beam. Additionally, it features both momentary and latching modes to meet your particular needs at that time. With rechargeable batteries, up to 1.5 hours of run time and full-sized and compact models, Sig lights are just what your carbine or tactical shotgun calls for. ties, ensuring hunters will always get a devastating wound channel in whatever they hit.
MSRP: Starting at $152
B5 Systems Rhodesian Camo Collection
B5 Systems introduces the Rhodesian Camo Collection, paying tribute to the iconic Rhodesian Brushstroke pattern born during the Rhodesian Bush War of the 1960s and ’70s. Developed to mimic Southern Africa’s dense bush and harsh terrain, the bold mix of green, brown and olive tones offered unmatched concealment. This modern collection brings the historic pattern to today’s enthusiasts with functional, durable components built for style and performance. The Rhodesian Camo Collection includes the Bravo Stock, P-Grip 23, P-Grip 22 and Vertical Grip M-Lok, blending heritage with practicality for the field or range.
MSRP: $109
Girsan Witness2311
Face it, the 2011 game isn’t a cheap one. Catering to competitors and the higher-end concealed carry market, the double-stack 1911s demand top dollar. EAA is aiming to change this. Shaking up this niche, the importer has introduced the Girsan Witness2311, one of the few sub-$1,000 2011 options available today. It’s a slick-looking 9mm, with a full-length accessory rail, removable magwell, aggressive grip texturing and two-tone Cerakote finish (gray and black). Making it even more desirable, the Witness2311 has an optics-ready slide compatible with RMS/RMSc footprints. It’s a tidy package for the price and certainly falls right in line with EAA’s “Why pay more?” campaign the company is running to promote the gun’s release.
MSRP: $990
RISE Triggers Reliant Trigger
A mainstay for AR-trigger upgrades, RISE Triggers has struck out in a new direction. Meet the company’s first bolt-action fire control: the Reliant. Compatible with Remington 700 rifles and its clones, the switch fits right into a wide swath of the long-guns available today. RISE offers the Reliant in two models—Hunter and Pro. The Hunter features user-friendly external pull-weight adjustment (2 to 5 pounds), tool steel internal components and simple cassette-style installation. The Pro offers many of the same assets but also tacks on some extras like adjustable 2- to 3-pound pull weight, adjustable overtravel and a flat trigger shoe.
MSRP: Hunter $170, Pro $260
Ruger/Magpul RXM 9mm
Rifle, pistol or shotgun, modularity is a hit with shooters. In turn, Ruger and Magpul’s tag-team effort on the striker-fired pistol should have the potential to turn heads. Dubbed the RXM, the 9mm features a stainless-steel fire control insert (the serialized component of the pistol) that can jump between Magpul’s Enhanced Handguard Grips. Want a different color? Need to upsize or downsize the pistol? Require more rail space or any other tweaks? All of these are potentials with the system. Further enhancing the customization possibilities, most major components are designed for compatibility with Glock Gen 3 pistols. The sky is the limit.
MSRP: $500
Canik MC9L & MC9LS
Canik expands its MC9 lineup with the new MC9L and MC9LS 9mm carry pistols, offering enhanced capacity and ergonomics. These models feature larger grips and standard 17-round magazines, providing improved control and firepower. The MC9L has a 3.18-inch barrel, while the MC9LS offers a longer 3.64-inch barrel and sight radius for greater accuracy. Both include optics-ready slides, interchangeable backstraps and a robust accessory package: two 17-round mags, IWB holster, speed loader, three backstrap sizes, tool kit and cleaning kit—all packed in a hard case. Available in black, FDE or two-tone finishes.
MSRP: $500
Hawke Frontier LPVO Scopes
Hawke Optics is taking on CQB with the release of the Frontier 30 FD L4A and Frontier 30 FD LRX, two new 1-8x24mm LPVO riflescopes ideal for target shooting, tactical use and outdoor activities. Built on a durable 30mm 6061 aluminum tube, these scopes feature Hawke’s H7 multi-coated optics for exceptional clarity and a generous 4 inches of eye relief. Both models include illuminated reticles with Hawke’s Auto Illumination Mode (AIM) to conserve battery life. Choose between the L4A FD reticle for a clear, unobstructed view or the LRX-Tactical FD reticle with holdover marks and 2-MOA windage markers. Designed for performance, they’re shock-proof, waterproof and fog-proof.
MSRP: $829
Smith & Wesson M&P15 SBR Series
A staple in high-performance yet affordable AR-15s, the M&P15 line has more than earned its stellar reputation. The good news is that Smith & Wesson is taking its standby in a whole new direction with the expansion of the line into short-barreled rifles (SBR). Yes, you heard that right. The M&P15 is now available in two short configurations, giving shooters a nimble CQB option without a confiscatory price tag. The gunmaker is offering the 11.5-inch barrel gun with either an M-Lok forend or a Gunfighter forend. Outside of that, the two models are the same with flat-faced triggers, B5 SOPMOD stock, Williams Gun Sight folding sights and Radian Raptor-LT charging handle. Yeah, you’ll still need a tax stamp, but S&W prices the SBRs so you can afford it.
MSRP: $1,280
AGM ObservIR LRF Binoculars
AGM Global Vision has expanded into daytime products with the ObservIR LRF 25-256 Binoculars, a multi-channel optic designed for hunters. Featuring a 4K digital channel with 5.5-22X zoom for daylight clarity and a 256-resolution thermal mode to detect hidden game, these binocu-lars seamlessly transition between digital and thermal views. With a 1,000-yard laser rangefinder, hunters can quickly measure distances, while 64GB internal memory enables recording with GPS and audio for post-hunt review.
