The MAX-9 is a dynamic new pistol, and Viridian’s E-Series laser is the perfect addition.”

STREAMLIGHT

Pocket Mate USB

Streamlight, Inc. launched the ultra-compact Pocket Mate USB, a weather-resistant, USB rechargeable personal light that delivers 325 lumens and features convenient hands-free options.

Small enough to carry in a pocket, the Pocket Mate features an anodized spring clip that attaches to zippers or key chains, and clips onto hats, visors and clothing for hands-free use.

“Versatility, brightness and USB rechargeability make the Pocket Mate the perfect easy-to-carry light for any situation—hands-free, in your pocket or attached to your person,” said Streamlight Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Michael F. Dineen. “The Pocket Mate produces incredible lumens and beam distance for a light this size.”

The Pocket Mate is powered by a bright white LED that offers high and low modes. On high, the Pocket Mate delivers 325 lumens, a 76-meter beam and a 20-minute run time; on low, it provides 45 lumens, a 28-meter beam and a run time of 1 hour. Both modes run for several hours of intermittent use.

Featuring a lithium polymer battery, the light charges from any USB power source and includes a charge status indicator. The light’s multi-function pushbutton switch is recessed to prevent accidental turn-on.

The new light is constructed from an impact-resistant polycarbonate and a machined aluminum frame. Measuring 2.0 inches long and weighing 0.5 ounces, the Pocket Mate is rated IPX4 for weather-resistant operation and is impact-resistance tested to 1 meter.

Available in silver, red, blue and pink, the Pocket Mate has an MSRP of $35.00, and includes a two-year warranty.

BLASER

R8 Bolt Action Rifle in 6.5 PRC

Blaser now offers its R8 Bolt Action Rifle in 6.5 PRC. Known for its accuracy and long-range performance, the 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge is essentially a magnum version of the 6.5 Creedmoor with a flatter trajectory and higher impact velocity, making it a favorite of long-range hunters.

The straight-pull R8 bolt action rifle, renowned for its reliability, repeatability, speed and precision, offers hunters a vast number of configurations to meet their needs in the field. Options include a wide array of stock options, a recoil reduction system, adjustable comb, adjustable length of pull, and numerous barrels and bolt heads to facilitate quick conversions to different calibers, depending on the type of game one is hunting.

“If you combine all the different standard options on an R8, you can build over 47 million unique rifles and that does not even include custom shop options,” said Jason Evans, CEO, Blaser Group. “The interchangeability makes it incredibly easy to convert your rifle from one caliber to another by simply switching out the barrel and bolt head. This can be done in less than a minute. The engineering and craftsmanship is so extraordinary, after any barrel change, the rifle will shoot to within 1/2 MOA every time.”

The compact overall length and modularity of the Blaser R8 offer distinct advantages to hunters who travel frequently, allowing them to carry one rifle with several different barrels instead of transporting multiple guns around the world. The Blaser Saddle Mount system allows for easy and precise mounting of a riflescope by allowing the one-piece base of the mount to fit into notches machined into the top of the free-floating barrel. The barrel and saddle mount become one accurate unit, ensuring absolute repeatability once the scope has been zeroed, regardless of how many times the scope is removed from the barrel. The R8’s concentric locking lugs with 14 locking surfaces provide 360-degree enagagement, further enhancing accuracy. The R8 is available in numerous calibers from .204 Ruger to .500 Jeffrey.
