Competition-ready straight from the box, the BLACK FX1000 combines match grade features such as a first focal plane optical system, high-speed turrets, integral zero stop and glass-etched MRAD reticles.

Vortex Introduces New Tactical Riflescope

Vortex Optics’ new Razor HD 5-20x50mm riflescope was designed from the ground up to meet the needs of military and law enforcement precision shooters. Packed with more than a dozen unique performance and optical features, the Razor delivers superior ranging and accuracy at extreme distance. With its 35mm one-piece tube machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, the Razor offers 36 mrad/125 MOA adjustment range for windage and elevation; enough to accommodate for bullet drop at the most extreme distances. The optically-indexed lenses are precision-ground from XD optical glass and fully multi-coated with Vortex’s advanced XR coating to deliver the highest level of edge-to-edge brightness, resolution and clarity obtainable with today’s optical technologies. A unique, multi-element apochromatic (APO) objective lens virtually eliminates chromatic aberration across the entire field of view so targets can be more clearly defined at longer distances – and camouflage patterns more easily spotted and identified. Ranging and accuracy at extreme distances is simplified with their proprietary new EBR-2 mrad reticle. Laser-etched-on-glass and placed in the first focal plane, the reticle enlarges and shrinks with the target when zoomed so the scale remains in proportion at all magnifications. In addition, the subtensions on the EBR-2 mrad reticle match the subtension markings on the turrets to make range calculations and shooting adjustments faster and more accurate. Turret screws are ultra-precision machined from silicon-brass alloy and fitted with hardened steel turret pads that interface with a hardened steel ring on the erector tube. This patent-pending friction reduction system eliminates deformation, wear and galling of the erector screws. Vortex’s proprietary RZR (Rapid Zero Return) Zero Stop mechanism stops the elevation turret from dialing below sight-in range using a rotational-blocking steel design (patent pending) that’s mechanically more reliable and accurate than other systems that block the vertical movement of the turret. The RZR Zero Stop is fully sealed from the elements – even when being set. Delivers precise return to zero after temporary elevation corrections have been dialed without the need for the user to count clicks. With generous 3.9 inch eye relief through the entire 5-20X range of magnification, absolutely waterproof/dustproof/shockproof construction, and a hard-anodized matte Stealth Shadow Black finish, the Razor HD 5-20mm riflescope truly represents the state-of-the art in combat-ready rifle optics.

Mako Offers Shotgun Solutions

The Mako Group, a leader in marketing and distributing weapons accessories, announces their new line of Remington and Mossberg shotgun stocks. All three types of unique stocks, (1) folding, (2) folding collapsible and (3) shock absorber collapsible, are solutions to the market’s numerous requests. Each stock is designed to be very tough and robust, with superior features not found anywhere today. First there is the Tactical Folding Buttstock with an Embedded Adjustable Cheek Piece for the Remington 870, UAS870, Mossberg 500/590 and UAS500, with a MSRP of $160. This is a completely new innovative, ground-breaking design for shotgun stocks. The folding joint can be mounted to fold on either the left or right side, with clearance for trigger use. To fold the stock, simply push the button and a spring locks the stock in the folded position. To unfold, just pull on the stock. In addition, the stock has a slim and low profile, and the rubber buttplate reduces recoil and slippage. Next is an AR-15/M4-style Folding and Collapsible Buttstock for the Remington 870, AGRF870-FK, Mossberg 500/590 and AGMF500-FK with a MSRP of $207. This product includes The Mako Group’s best-selling GLR16 buttstock which folds (as described above), has 5-collapsible positions, comes with an M4-style aluminum buffer tube, and includes two battery-storage compartments – one in the GLR16 and one in the pistol grip. Finally, the AR-15/M4-style Collapsible Buttstock with Shock Absorber for the Remington 870, AGR870-FKSB, Mossberg 500/590 and AGM500-FKSB with a MSRP $255. This product also includes The Mako Group’s best-selling GLR16 buttstock (as described above) and has a unique, one-of-a-kind, shock-absorber system which reduces the actual recoil. Combined with a 5-position collapsible stock, the product is the only one of its type and price point in the market place today. The pistol grip allows a natural fighting stance hold on the shotgun and is slightly angled to counter recoil. In addition, there is improved muzzle control performance during fire and a storage compartment for batteries or a cleaning kit. No gunsmithing is required. All of these stocks are manufactured by FAB Defense in Israel. Please contact them for more information at The Mako Group, Dept. SAR, 74 Rome Street, Farmingdale, NY 11735. Phone: (631) 880-3396.

Wilson Combat Announces New 6.8 SPC Rifles

After a tremendous amount of research and testing by Bill Wilson and the Wilson Combat team, they are excited to announce the availability of their custom AR platform rifles chambered in 6.8 SPC caliber. The 6.8 SPC (6.8x43mm) was developed by the United States Army Marksmanship Unit to offer superior downrange lethality over the 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington in an AR pattern service rifle with minimal loss of magazine capacity and a negligible increase in recoil. When built to the level of quality and precision Wilson Combat has achieved, the 6.8 SPC is also capable of outstanding accuracy and reliability. In their match-grade, Spec II chambered 16-inch barrels, the 6.8 SPC is capable of pushing a .277 caliber, 85gr bullet to over 2,900 fps. The 110gr bullets easily achieve 2,500 fps with factory loaded ammunition. Appropriate hand loading can achieve even higher velocities and enable the use of heavier projectiles up to 130 grains, which dramatically improves terminal ballistics over a 5.56 Nato/.223 Remington at long range. This added ballistic performance makes the 6.8 SPC perfect for home protection and SRT/SWAT teams. The 6.8 is a truly ideal hunting round for medium to heavy game and turns the AR into a serious hunting rifle. It’s also available in the Tactical Hunter Lightweight and M4 formats, all further customizable by users. Contact Wilson Combat, Dept. SAR, 2234 CR 719, Berryville, AR 72616 for more information.
