It features an M-Lok handguard with a handstop, QD mount and the recessed SA Muzzle Drum tucked underneath.

Laser Ammo’s CQB in a Box

Laser Ammo’s CQB in a Box is a portable, wireless training system built for real-world readiness. Designed for law enforcement, military and security pros, it includes three full-size reactive targets with adjustable hit zones for the head, torso and pelvis. Shooters can run simple drills or complex simulations with light-coded shoot/no-shoot scenarios—no range required. The system syncs with a Windows PC for drill analytics and remote control, and it’s compatible with Laser Ammo’s red and IR laser systems. It all packs neatly into a rugged case for training anywhere.
MSRP: $2,400 full kit, $899 single target

Federal 7mm Backcountry Terminal Ascent

Federal’s new 7mm Backcountry is rewriting the rules for long-action hunting cartridges. With its innovative Peak Alloy case design, it delivers magnum-level speed—up to 3,300 fps with a 155-grain Terminal Ascent bullet—while still running on a standard bolt face. Built for deep penetration and long-range performance, the bonded Terminal Ascent projectile features a high BC (.586), Slipstream tip for reliable expansion and AccuChannel grooves to cut drag and boost accuracy. It’s available in 155- and 170-grain loads, both delivering flat trajectories and hard-hitting results.
MSRP: Starting at $79

C&H ERD-2 Red Dot Optic

C&H Precision’s new ERD-2 brings tough, enclosed-emitter performance to shotguns, rifles and PCCs. This 22mm red-dot runs a 3 MOA reticle with 10 brightness settings (including two for NV), and its front-facing sensor auto-adjusts to changing light on the fly. Housed in 7075 aluminum and fully submersible for 30 minutes, the ERD-2 is built to take abuse and keep zero. A 50,000-hour battery life and included Picatinny pedestal mount round out a feature-rich optic that punches above its price.
MSRP: $280

Hawke Optics Frontier Reflex Sight

Hawke’s new Frontier Reflex sight brings rugged versatility and a crystal-clear view to pistols, rifles and everything in between. Built with a tough aluminum body and steel shroud, it runs a crisp 3-MOA red dot with 10 brightness levels—including two night-vision settings—and auto-adjusts via onboard sensor. Mounting options are nearly endless, with RMSc, Docter, DeltaPoint Pro, and Weaver/Picatinny compatibility all in one package. Motion-sensing standby conserves battery life, while a side tray makes swaps fast without re-zeroing. At just 0.8 ounce, it’s compact, tough and ready for carry, competition or duty.
MSRP: Starting at $319

Primary Arms SLx RS-10R Reflex Sight

Primary Arms just made its popular RS-10 red-dot even more versatile with the new SLx RS-10R. Built around the widely used RMR footprint, it’s ready to drop onto a broader range of optics-ready slides and mounts. At just 1.1 ounces, this 7075 aluminum sight is featherweight but rugged, with a 23x19mm multi-coated lens, side-loading battery tray and AutoLive tech that preserves its 40,000-hour battery life. Setting up for duty use or everyday carry, the sight is rock-solid at a fair price.
MSRP: $210

Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10X FDE Scope

Leupold has added a fresh twist to its elite Mark 5HD line with a 2-10x30mm variant dressed in flat dark earth and outfitted with the illuminated CMR reticle. Built on a 35mm main tube and using Leupold’s M5C3 zero-lock turret system, this scope offers 34.9 mils of elevation in 0.1-mil increments—ideal for precision with semi-auto carbines or compact bolt guns. It’s first focal plane, loaded with MST motion-sensing tech and backed by the Pro Grade Optical System for clarity across the zoom range.
MSRP: $2,699
