New Marlin 1895 SBL Lever-Action Rifle by Ruger

Since the acquisition of Marlin Firearms by Ruger, things have changed for the better. Some reviewers are saying that the first Ruger-built Marlin, the model 1895 SBL, may be the best-built, large-caliber lever gun in Marlin history.

Outdoor Life reviewer John Snow, who has used the new 1895 SBL on a successful hunt stated: “The Marlin 1895 SBL in .45/70 Gov’t is the first rifle out of the gates since Marlin was acquired by Ruger, and after … taking it hunting, I am breathing a huge sigh of relief. Ruger has done right by the beloved brand … it is making the best lever-actions in Marlin’s history. Put simply, Ruger has successfully reincarnated Marlin as a modern gun company.” The 1895 SBL features a lengthy scope rail, threaded “suppressor-ready” muzzle, and enhanced finish on the stock and fore-end.

Creedmoor Enhanced Press Head for Redding T-7 Press

The new Creedmoor Enhanced Press Head for the Redding T-7 Turret Press is a direct upgrade that offers many advantages for precision, ease of use, and reloading. Made from solid 416 Stainless Steel, this Press Head boasts precision cut threads, integral detent/track system, and seven threaded handle position. Creedmoor states: “A machined stainless steel head, rather than one made from cast steel, allows for tighter tolerances, an improved surface finish, and ultimately makes a better product for our customers.” The Creedmoor Enhanced Press Head has a premium finish, offers higher corrosion and wear resistance, and incorporates a thread quality second to none.

The Redding T-7, already a good turret press, functions better with this press head, which is precision-machined to ensure flatness of both upper and lower surfaces. The Enhanced Press Head, which can be installed in a matter of minutes, is available now from Creedmoor Sports for $179.95.

Volquartsen VT2 Rimfire Takedown Rifle (17 HRM, 22 WMR)

Volquartsen recently introduced a cleverly-designed new hunting/varminting rig, the VT2 Takedown rifle. With an easily-removed barrel, this semi-auto rimfire rifle can be tucked into a backpack for quick accessibility. This is currently offered in 17 HMR and 22 WMR chamberings, starting at a pretty pricey $2352.00 MSRP.

Utilizing a unique button and lever combination, the VT2 requires no tools, no twisting, and no tightening. Simply depress the takedown button, release the locking lever by pulling down, and the barrel slides effortlessly out of the receiver. The rifle can be stowed, or you can swap the barrels to easily switch between the 22 WMR and 17 HMR calibers. For reassembly, simply slide the barrel back into the receiver, the push the locking lever back up into position, and you’re ready to go. The VT2 is available in both 6” and 12” handguard lengths both with the M-LOK mounting system for bipods and other accessories.

New Colt Python with 3″ Barrel in .357 Magnum

The new Colt Python with 3″ barrel is chambered for the potent .357 Magnum cartridge. The frame and barrel are finished in semi-bright, stainless steel with checkered walnut grips. The ribbed top strap and full underlug are unchanged from the original Python’s design, retaining a classic look. The six-chamber cylinder is carefully fitted and rotates smoothly. This DA/SA revolver features a spurred hammer and the rear sight adjusts for both windage AND elevation. With an 8.5″ OAL, the new 3″-bbl Python weighs 40 ounces. The new Python has more steel in the frame for added strength.

“After more than a twenty-year production hiatus, in 2020, Colt relaunched its famous Python revolver with two-barrel length options: 4.25-inch and 6-inch. However, collectors still longed for the 3-inch model. The wait is officially over — Colt … is bringing back the production 3-inch-barrelled Python. Cosmetically, the new Python models look like the original revolvers. The grip’s shape, deep checkering and inlaid golden Colt logo are reminiscent of the classic. The silky-smooth trigger pull on the Python is part of why these revolvers have such outstanding accuracy.” — From American Hunter magazine 1/5/2022.

SilencerCo Harvester EVO Suppressor — Light “Can” for Hunters

SilencerCo’s new Harvester EVO suppressor is a tough, lightweight, and reasonably-priced unit optimized for hunters and precision shooters. Evolved from SilencerCo’s Harvester 300, the new Harvester EVO suppressor is notable for its compact size and VERY light weight. Constructed with cobalt-6, inconel and 17-4 heat treated stainless steel, the new EVO weighs just 10.8 ounces and retails for $680.00.

The Harvester EVO can work with chamberings from .223 Rem up to .300 Win Mag. Consumer feedback on the previous Harvester models led SilencerCo engineers to make the EVO shorter, lighter, and more affordable. The smaller size makes the Harvester EVO less likely to get caught on bushes and brush in outdoor environments.
