1. Palmetto Armory — Savage A17 .17 HMR American Flag Model

⏺ Stars & Stripes Stock, Reliable Delayed Blowback Action, 10-Round Mags

The 4th of July is just five days away. What better way to celebrate the nation’s birthday (and your Second Amendment freedoms) than with a new rifle sporting the Stars and Stripes. With its handsome American Flag-theme stock, this semi-auto Savage A17 features a 22″ barrel chambered for the .17 HMR rimfire round (10-rd magazine). We’ve used A17s and they are fun and surprisingly accurate. This American Flag model A17 is $440.98 at Palmetto State Armory.

2. Grafs.com — Free Reloading Scale with $75 Sierra Purchase

⏺ FREE Scale — Great for Loading at Range or Weight-Sorting Components

Even if you have a high-end force restoration scale and/or a electronic powder dispenser, it’s great to have a compact digital scale for weight-sorting components and loading at the range. Right now Graf’s will give you a FREE Frankford Arsenal DS-750 Digital scale with a modest Sierra purchase. Buy at least $75.00 worth of Sierra bullets (all types) or Sierra loaded ammo and you get the DS-750 scale for free.

3. Palmetto Armory — Buck Mark Camper UFX Pistol, $299.99

⏺ Very Accurate, Legendary Reliability, Great Ergonomics

The Browning Buck Mark is a classic, and for good reason. These pistols are reliable, well-balanced, have a good trigger, and they are very accurate. And now you can get one for under $300.00. Palmetto State Armory has the Browning Buck Mark Camper UFX with 5.5″ Barrel on sale for $299.99, discounted from $340.89. This Buck Mark Camper UFX is a great .22 LR pistol, at a very attractive price.

4. Amazon — Kestrel 3000 Pocket Wind Meter, $149.00

⏺ Read Wind Speed and Direction, Peak Gust, Temp, Humidity, and More

Very popular with Amazon buyers, the impressive Kestrel 3000 enjoys 86% 5-Star Ratings. This versatile Weather Meter records wind speed, wind gust, average wind speed, temperature, humidity, dew point and more. Every precision shooter should have a wind meter, and this is an affordable entry-level unit. NOTE: This Kestrel 3000 does NOT include built-in Applied Ballistics software (to get that feature you’ll have to pay $599.00 for a Kestrel 5700). No worries — you can run a separate mobile App on your phone, such as Ballistic, which uses the JBM Ballistics engine and costs just $12.99.

5. Natchez — Hornady Lock-N-Load Headspace Gauge, $33.49

⏺ Gauge Tool plus 5 Bushings, Essential for Precision Hand-loading

Are you checking your headspace to ensure you’re pushing your shoulders back the correct amount? If you’re not using a tool like the Hornady Headspace Gauge with 5 bushings then you are just guessing and you’ll never know for sure. Using one of these headspace gauges is one of the best ways to control your full-length sizing and thereby improve the consistency of your handloads.

6. Amazon — NcStar Vism Shooting Mat, $29.99

You can pay twice as much for a shooting mat and not get much more quality. This mat has earned 85% Five-Star buyer ratings on Amazon.

7. MidwayUSA — Dual Steel Gong System with Frame, $71.99

⏺ Twin AR500 Steel Gongs, Easy Set-Up and Take-Down

Who doesn’t like shooting steel? The “clang” of hitting a steel target at long range provides instant gratification.
