The New Guns And Gear:<\/h4>\n

Vortex Viper Shotgun Enclosed Micro Green Dot<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n
\"vortex<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Vortex\u2019s Viper Enclosed Micro shotgun optic is now available with a green dot reticle for those who prefer it to red. The red-dot model was released last year, and many hunters have already found it to be a useful companion in the field. The most important feature of the Viper is still here, namely, its ability to be easily direct-mounted to tons of common drilled and tapped shotgun receivers. Its enclosed design will keep it protected from the elements in the field, too. Like the red dot version, the new green dot is available either with a 3-MOA reticle or as the multi-reticle version that allows for seven different combinations of a 3-MOA dot, a 32-MOA circle and a 65-MOA circle.
MSRP:<\/strong> 3-MOA Green Dot, $430 \/\/ Multi-Reticle Green, $500<\/p>\n

\n
\"banish_12\"\"banish_12\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Upland and turkey hunters have reason to celebrate, as Banish has just announced 20-gauge and .410 shotgun suppressors. Previously only available in 12-gauge, the innovative shotgun cans are now optimized for a much wider variety of game, and Banish says both are compatible with a wide range of loads. Namely, #8 shot up through #2, BB, BBB, 00 Buck and slugs. Made from titanium to keep their weight at a minimum, both the Banish 20 and Banish 410 feature the same unique profile as the 12-gauge version, so they won\u2019t interfere with your sight picture. Both have interchangeable chokes and adaptive mounts as well. Time to kiss your old-school hearing protection goodbye.
MSRP:<\/strong> Banish 20, $1,230 \/\/ Banish .410, $1,100<\/p>\n

Federal Fit Pursuit Rifle Case<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n
\"federal\"federal<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The everyman\u2019s rifle has been changing a lot in recent years, but gun cases haven\u2019t been keeping up. As optics and suppressors on modern sporting rifles like the AR-15 explode in popularity, more people need cases that will accommodate them. Federal is trying to meet that demand with the new Fit Pursuit case. Key features include suppressor protection, a heat-resistant lining and an adaptable fit thanks to the adjustable roll-up design. The Federal Fit Pursuit rifle case also has a heat-resistant pocket for storing suppressors or other gear, double shoulder straps, a carrying handle and a hanging loop. It\u2019s available in both 40- and 45-inch lengths.
MSRP:<\/strong> $140<\/p>\n

Pedersoli Kodiak Survivalist Rifle<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n
\"pedersoli\"pedersoli<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Pedersoli is calling it a\u00a0\u201cgentleman\u2019s survival rifle,\u201d and we think that\u2019s a pretty apt description. This double rifle hearkens back to the safari guns of old, though its .44 Magnum chambering means it\u2019s not suited for African dangerous game. For North America, however, that should handle everything save the very largest of threats. Designed to be compact with its 18.125-inch barrel and light with a weight of about 6 pounds, the Kodiak should be both easy to carry in the field and quick to handle when behind the sights. Speaking of sights, besides its irons, the Kodiak comes ready to mount an optional Picatinny rail for adding an optic. Pedersoli didn\u2019t skimp on its aesthetics, either, as the Kodiak sports a color-case hardened frame and an oil-finished walnut stock with a checkered grip.
MSRP:<\/strong> $2,705<\/p>\n

Henry Explorer Carbine Series<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n
\"henry\"\"henry\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Designed to be both practical and attractive, Henry Repeating Arms\u2019 new Explorer Carbines feature a durable Burnt Bronze Cerakote protective finish inspired by the natural tones of the beautiful American Southwest. Henry says the Explorer Carbines are \u201cthe first in a potential series of regionally inspired finishes.\u201d In terms of practical features, the new lever-actions sport threaded 16.5-inch barrels, sling swivel studs, adjustable sights and drilled and tapped receivers for optics. Available Explorer models include the H9 in .30-30 Winchester or .360 Buckhammer (four-round capacity), the H10 in .45-70 Gov\u2019t (four-round capacity) and the H12 in .357 Mag.\/.38 Spl or .44 Mag.\/.44 Spl (seven-round capacity).

US Palm CAT4 Storm<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n
\"us\"us<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

US Palm is mostly known for its AK magazines and accessories, but the company is now branching out into the AR-15 world. Not AR accessories, mind you, but complete AR rifles with its new Storm Series. US Palm says the rifles are duty-ready and being built for hard use. The first model to be released in the lineup is called the CAT4, and it\u2019s a mostly standard-looking modern carbine with a few unique features to set it apart. Visually, the most interesting piece on the CAT4 is US Palm\u2019s Hurricane hybrid flash hider\/compensator muzzle device. It also sports a Mono-Loc handguard system, a US Palm reduced-angle pistol grip, fully ambidextrous controls and a Hiperfire EDT Designated Marksman Trigger. As for its barrel, it\u2019s cold hammer forged 4150 chrome-moly and 16 inches.
MSRP:<\/strong> $1,400<\/p>\n

\"magpul\"magpul<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

More Americans live in foliage-rich environments than arid ones, yet for some reason, everyone seems to want their gear in FDE. You can probably thank Global War on Terror movies for that. For those of us who want our gear to blend in with our local landscape, Magpul has just released six new Gen M3 PMAG options in OD Green. For 5.56, available models include a windowed 30-rounder, a non-windowed 30-rounder, a 20-rounder and a 10-rounder. There\u2019s also a 30-round version optimized for .300 BLK and a 20-round option for SR25\/M110-pattern rifles chambered for 7.62\u00d751 NATO.
MSRP:<\/strong> $15-$23<\/p>\n
