3. Grizzly Industrial — Bald Eagle Slingshot Rest, $129.97
Maybe you’re just getting into F-Class or just need a good stable front rest to shoot from and don’t want to spend a ton of money on one. Don’t worry because Grizzly now has the Bald Eagle BE1129 aluminum slingshot rest for an amazingly low $129.97 Closeout price. Just add your favorite front bag and you’re ready to go with a competition quality elevation adjustable rest.

Either way, these rests are a great value.
4. EuroOptic — Leica CRF 2400-R Rangemaster, $550 No Tax
For long-range hunters, a compact laser rangefinder (LRF) is a vital accessory — and not just for ranging prey before taking the shot. You can use the LRF to range distant objects to get an idea of how far you’ll need to trek to your desired location. There are many good rangefinders on the market, but we have always liked the handheld Leicas. The CRF 2400-R Rangemaster is a solid value at $550.00. Plus, right now EuroOptic will pay any state sales tax you might owe. That can save you up to $50.00.

The Lyman offers more die stations than the 6-station RCBS Turret and the 7-station Redding T-7. It also has a strong rear support that minimizes head flex. NOTE: Priming on the Lyman turret is done in the front; the image above shows the priming station but not the vertical tube which holds stacked primers.

Now through the end of September you can save ten percent (10%) on virtually all Frankford Arsenal products in stock at Precision Reloading. this includes the great new Intellidropper powder dispenser, Case Prep Center, Wet Tumbling System, Perfect Seat Hand Priming Tool, Precision Scales, Brass Dryer, Powder Trickler, Bullet Trays, Media Separator, and more. See all sale items at PrecisionReloading.com.
7. Midsouth — Frankford Click-Adjust Hand Priming Tool, $61.99
This is a GREAT primer seating tool. It has good feel, plenty of leverage, and the primer feed-from-tray works well. Importantly, it has a click-adjust wheel for precise primer seating depth control. Read our Frankford Primer Seating Tool Product Review by gunsmith Jim See. Now discounted from $72.49 to $61.99 at Midsouth, this is a great product for the price. The tool comes complete with 12 precision shell holders.
8. Cabelas — Garmin GPSMAP 64ST Handheld, $199.99
Hunters who spend considerable time in the wilderness, far from roads and mapped trails, should have a hand-held GPS that can plot their location within a few meters. Right now Cabelas.com has the highly-regarded Garmin GPSMAP 64ST on sale for $199.99. That’s fifty bucks off the regular price. This same handheld Garmin GPS sells for $242.50 on Amazon, so this is a great price at Cabelas.com.

Plinking is fun. Especially when your ammo is really cheap. If you need low-cost .22 LR rimfire ammo for range sessions with friends and family, check out this crazy good deal from Midsouth. You get 500 rounds of Aguila 38gr HiVel .22 LR ammo for just $17.99 (marked down from $32.99). That works out to 3.6 cents ($0.036) per round. We’ve used this stuff. It’s not match-grade, but it’s more than adequate for .22 LR handguns and rifles with fun targets, such as dueling trees and rimfire poppers.
10. Midsouth — 250 Adhesive Precision Targets on Roll, $12.49
Midsouth offers 250 self-adhesive Benchrest Targets on a convenient roll. These stick-on targets are great for load development. The aiming diamond helps align the cross hairs of your scope while the 1/4″ grid pattern makes it easy to eyeball your group size. At the bottom are fields for your load info. Each Target sticker measures 6″ x 4″ with a 4.5″ x 2.5″ printed area. Midsouth sells the 250-target roll for $12.49.

Yes the BC is a bit lower than the 140gr class of 6.5mm bullets, but these 123-grainers are accurate, and not “fussy” about seating depths.

You may be surprised that you get better accuracy, with less recoil, than the 140s. Right now with this Midsouth deal you get 250 bullets for $59.99.

Share the post "6.5 Creedmoor Rem 700 Hunter Rifle Give-Away Contest"
Review by Derek for EuroOptic.com Laser rangefinders are one of the fastest evolving products in the shooting industry. A decade ago, a laser rangefinder capable of 3000+ yard performance would have had the same price tag as a brand new truck and would have been rarely seen outside of a military operation. Even a laser rangefinder capable of 1200-yard performance a decade ago would have come with a hefty price tag. Now in 2019 however, nobody expects to pay more than $450 for a laser rangefinder capable of that rated performance.
That brings us to today — Vortex Optics just released a brand new laser rangefinder dubbed the Razor HD 4000. The Vortex Razor HD 4000 seems to perfectly fill a void between the economical Ranger LRF 1800 Monocular and the premium Fury HD 5000 Rangefinding Binocular in Vortex’s line-up of rangefinders. Retailing at $499.99, the Vortex Razor HD 4000 is a compact 7x monocular rangefinder. Vortex boasts that the Razor HD 4000 is capable of ranging reflective objects out 4000 yards, trees out to 2500, and deer-sized targets out to 2200 yards. Additionally, the device will deliver measurements as close as 5 yards and can compute angle correction of +/- 70 degrees. The angle correction is a big plus for hunters working in hilly country, where up-angle and down-angle shots are common.
I was able to look over the Razor HD 4000 and get a good feel for the device. This new LRF is now available for $499.99 and will begin shipping to customers on 4/11/2019. The configuration of the device’s controls is fairly ergonomic as you’d expect with most monocular laser rangefinders. I was able to briefly test the ranging capabilities but due to environmental constraints the farthest reading I got was approximately 2400 yards on a reflective target, but I do suspect that the Razor HD 4000 is capable of more. [Editor’s NOTE: In the real world, even a 2400-yard reflection return is outstanding and on a par with some far more expensive 3000-yard rated LRFs.]
Tripod Adaptability and Quality Accessories
We’re please to note the Razor HD 4000 has 1/4×20 female threaded socket on the underside for attachment to a tripod. [Editor: We wish all Laser Rangefinders had this feature.] Another neat but easily missed feature is that the battery cap has a tab that flips out and can be used to unscrew the cap. This makes swapping out the battery easier when you don’t have your multi-tool or are wearing gloves. The unit also comes in a rigid soft case, a wrist lanyard/ tether, and a heavy duty pocket clip.
Vortex has recently hit home runs with the Razor scopes, Diamondback Tacticals and Viper PSTs just to name a few. I am willing to bet this Razor HD 4000 is going to be a great performer as well.

No personal rifle collection is complete without a .50 BMG — the big boy. The single-shot, bolt-action Noreen is one of the most affordable Fifties. This 32-pound beast boasts a 34″ barrel with a massive muzzle brake. Simple and bomb proof, what more could you need? The .50 BMG Noreen Ultra Long Range (ULR) rifle features a single shot bolt action, 34″ barrel with 1:15″ twist, Noreen collapsible stock, A2 pistol grip, timney adjustable trigger, and Noreen muzzle brake with 1.25-12 thread. NOTE: The photo above shows one version with a custom camo paint job. You’ll have to do that yourself. The gun is available from EuroOptic.com at this $2149.00 price only with a matte black finish.
The Noreen’s bolt is stout, sporting a large diameter bolt body. This jumbo-sized rifle comes with Timney trigger and AR-type pistol grip (which can be exchanged by purchaser). The wide bipod is included with the rifle. EuroOptic now offers the Noreen .50 BMG in Matte Black for $2149.00 price. Heck you could pay that much for a puny little .22 LR Anschutz. So go BIG instead — be the first on your block with a .50 BMG! You can also purchase this rig directly from Noreen Firearms, with a choice of four calibers: .338 Lapua Magnum, .408 CheyTac, .416 Barrett, and .50 BMG.
About the .50 BMG Cartridge
The .50 Browning Machine Gun (.50 BMG, aka 12.7×99mm NATO or 50 Browning) is a cartridge developed for the Browning .50 caliber machine gun in the late 1910s, entering official service in 1921. Under STANAG 4383, it is a standard cartridge for NATO forces as well as many non-NATO countries. John Browning had the idea for this round during World War I in response to a need for an anti-aircraft weapon, based on a scaled-up .30-06 Springfield design, used in a machine gun based on a scaled-up M1919/M1917 design that Browning had initially developed around 1900. According to the American Rifleman: “The Browning .50 originated in the Great War. American interest in an armor-piercing cartridge was influenced by the marginal French 11 mm design, prompting U.S. Army Ordnance officers to consult Browning. They wanted a heavy projectile at 2700 FPS, but the ammunition did not exist. Browning pondered the situation and, according to his son John, replied, ‘Well, the cartridge sounds pretty good to start. You make up some cartridges and we’ll do some shooting’.”
