1. Brownells — Crimson Trace Optics Sale

Brownells is running a major sale right now on quality Crimson Trace Optics. Along with rifle scopes (both FFP and SFP versions) with a wide range of magnification levels, there are red dots for pistols. With this notable Crimson Trace Optics Sale you can save up to 60% on quality optics with very positive user reviews. We would definitely consider a FFP Crimson Trace for a PRS rifle.

2. Whidden Gunworks — Lapua 6mmBR Brass, $114.99/100

But with this popularity has come short supply. 6mmBR brass has been hard to find in recent months. But take heart — Whidden Gunworks has Lapua 6mmBR Brass in stock at $119.99 for 100 cases — a good price. If Whidden Gunworks sells out, Bruno Shooters also has Lapua 6mmBR brass in stock for $122.80 per 100, just a few bucks more.

3. Palmetto SA — SAR9 Sport 9mm Pistol, $299.99

This ported slide version with 5.2″ barrel is a great gun for IDPA, USPSA, and other pistol matches. The listed $299.99 sale price is $300.00 off the original $699.99 MSRP. The slide has two threaded holes that allow an optic to be attached, but it does not have a removable plate like some newer pistols.
