“It’s 30-30 time!” Rossi USA announces: chambered for the most classic lever-action cartridge, the new R95 rifle has a traditional appearance, with steel alloy receiver & barrel and wood stock, and comes in two barrel lengths, 20” or 16.5”. Capacity is 5+1 rounds.

Springfield Armory drops a .22 LR rimfire rifle family available with walnut wood or reinforced polymer stock, full free-floated barrel, interrupted Picatinny rail on the action's top, hard chrome bolt with 60-degree throw and adjustable Model 700 pattern trigger. 

Designed for backcountry hunts, the new Model 2020 Redline is a lightweight, rugged and compact rifle. Chambered in .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor, with a choice of 16” or 20” carbon fiber-jacketed barrels, it features an adjustable Grayboe Trekker synthetic stock.

Available in 12 gauge and 20 gauge, the latest addition to the Orion family is designed for both bird hunting and clay shooting. Features include a straight English stock with splinter forend, blued finish and mechanical double trigger. Barrel length is 28”/71 cm.

Directly from the field, we tell you about the latest M2 semi-automatic version that Benelli has revamped in its technical features and aesthetics to make it an even more practical and functional shotgun in different hunting situations.

In the Fausti Caledon over-and-under, hunters can find all the strength and functionality needed for stalking in a shotgun with simple aesthetics and a competitive price.

Beretta continues to update its shotgun catalog with a 28-gauge Magnum version of the A400 Upland semia-utomatic, which is now available with a new engraving and also in a 76-centimeter barrel version.

Benelli unveils a limited version of the 828U Steel BE.S.T. over-and-under shotgun – only 500 pieces will be made. A tribute to not only fans of hunting, but of guns with a special and unique aesthetic as well.

With its sporty total black look, recognizable by the shine of the BE.S.T. treatment, the 828 U over-and-under comes in a version with a one-piece steel receiver, thus heavier and protected in its mechanical parts by BE.S.T. coating, for those hunters who seek a shotgun that is stable when shooting, tame in recoil and durable.

Here comes a powerful new rifle cartridge, the .400 Legend. Like its predecessor, the .350 Legend, it was designed to offer a modern and powerful cartridge that can be used even in U.S. states where bottleneck cartridges are banned. But this is no mere legal expedient: at least on paper, the .400 Legend offers very attractive performance.

The REACH Annex XIV Authorization Listing includes substances “of very high concern” and “of the highest priority”. ECHA, the European Chemicals Agency, recommended to include lead metal in the list: This has severe consequences for a broad range of strategically important European industries and applications – among them, the ammo industry, of course. But finally it will be a political decision.

The United Nations wants every individual cartridge to be marked to “limit the scope of the illicit trade”, taking the Brazilian laser marking as an example of best practice. The Association of European Manufacturers of Sporting Ammunition explains here why it would be actually impossible for civilian ammo – and ineffective. 

The ECHA committees (SEAC and RAC) sent their technical advice to the European Commission for scrutiny and to allow the REACH Committee to start the drafting activities over the legislative proposal to restrict the use and placing on the market of lead ammunition in outdoor activities. What will happen next?
