1. Bruno Shooters — Primers on Sale, Free Shipping, Free Hazmat

⏺ With 5K Primers Sealed Case $0 Hazmat and FREE Shipping

Primers are still in short supply these days. Some sellers are still charging over $200 per thousand. But Bruno’s is running a Springtime Primer Special that can save you big bucks. And if you purchase a sealed box of 5000 primers Bruno’s includes FREE HAZMAT and FREE Shipping. That can save you $50-$70 per shipment. In stock now are a variety of CCI, Federal, and Remington primers, with some European primers due soon. Prices start at $92.95 per thousand, with 5000 minimum for free shipping with $0 hazmat fee.

2. Creedmoor Sports — American Bullet Company Match Bullets, $18.95 – $38.95 per hundred

⏺ Top-quality bullets at half what some others cost

Creedmoor Sports has a new line of American Bullet Co. Match-Grade Bullets. These .224- and .308-caliber bullets are first run — no blems or seconds — with all bullets in each box from a single lot. A great value, these bullets let you shoot more without breaking the bank. The .224 bullets are offered in 75gr HPBT, 77g HPBT, and 77gr Tipped. The .308 bullets are 155gr, 169gr, and 175gr HPBT.

3. Midsouth — New Frankford F-1 Single-Stage Press, $128.99

⏺ Versatile press, built-in light, good primer exit, plus FREE shipping

Here’s a handy, single-stage press with some cool features. The new Frankford Arsenal F-1 press has an open front for easy case placement, plus a built-in LED lamp at the top (great for inspecting cases). And after decapping, spent primers go straight down a tube into a catch cylinder (as on a Forster Co-Ax). We think this would be an excellent secondary press used for decapping or bullet seating. The intro price — just $128.99 at Midsouth — is a great deal as you get FREE Shipping. NOTE: This press does NOT have priming capability — you must prime cases with a separate tool. Also, the power cord for the LED light is NOT included. For more details see Frankford Arsenal F-1 Press Review. Here is a review from a recent purchaser: “Amazing press for a great price. The ball bearing ram is smooth and feels right. The leverage is great and all-around operations of the press are [excellent].”

4. EuroOptic.com — Vortex Scope Close-outs, Save 44-54%

⏺ Massive discounts on Vortex scopes for PRS/NRL, varminting, and tactical

EuroOptic.com has Vortex Close-Out Optics sale, with savings of 44-54% on nine scopes and two deluxe Red Dots.

5. Midsouth — Aguila .22 LR Ammunition, $34.99 500 rounds

⏺ Large variety of Aguila rimfire ammo at great prices

With the high cost of centerfire components (bullets, brass, primers, powder), more folks are shooting rimfire rifles and pistols. Right now, Midsouth is running a major sale on Aguila rimfire ammo. Choose standard velocity (1130 fps) or high-velocity (1255 fps), solid point or hollowpoint. Ammo starts at just $3.49 for 50 round boxes of 38gr or 40gr ammo. And if you need large quantities, you can get 2000-round bulk packs for just $119.99. That works out to just $0.06 per round — a steal. For varmint work, consider Aguila’s 1700 fps Hyper Velocity Supermaximum 30gr ammo, priced at $7.49/50 rounds.

6. Precision Reloading — Lee PRO 1000 Press Package, $189.99

⏺ Amazing deal on Progressive Press with case feeder for loading pistol ammo

If you want the efficiency of a progressive press, but have a limited budget, consider the Lee Pro 1000 Progressive Reloading Press. This reloading kit includes 3-station press, dies (Carbide FL Sizing, Powder-Through Expanding, and Bullet Seating Dies), 3-Hole Turret, Shell Plate, Powder Measure, Universal Case Feeder, and priming system. Yes that’s right this $189.99 Kit includes the case feeder! Foe the $189.99 sale price you can order the kit for these cartridge types: 9mm Luger (9x19mm), .38 Auto/.38 Super, .38 Spl/.357 Mag, and .45 Colt. Just get other dies to load other cartridge types.

⏺ Great price on Laser Rangefinder and Binoculars bundle

Here’s a nice Leupold Optics Combo for a hunter/varminter. For just $279.99 you get BOTH the Leupold RX-1400i TBR/W Laser Rangefinder (LRF), plus the quality Leupold BX-1 McKenzie 10×42 HD binoculars. The RX-1400i LRF is rated for 1400 yards, and offers angle ballistics correction. The display is bright red — good for both sunny days and darker dusk/dawn conditions. The binoculars come with GO Afield shoulder strap, binocular case, lens covers, and lens cloth.

8. Palmetto SA — Taurus TX22 Competition, $415.36

⏺ Affordable .22 LR match pistol with compensator has earned positive reviews

Rimfire pistols let you enjoy action pistol competitions without spending a ton of money. Among .22 LR pistols, the Taurus TX22 Competition SCR offers great performance for the price. The TX22 Competition SCR builds features a precision-engineered slide and match-grade bull barrel. The “skeletonized” slide with enlarged ejection port is designed so that a red dot optic can be mounted to the barrel. That helps prevent problems during ejection of empty shells. Taurus claims this mounting configuration enhances accuracy compared to a slide-mounted optic platform.

9. Amazon — NEIKO 6″ Digital Calipers, $25.89

⏺ Good, reliable digital calipers at attractive price

Every handloader needs to measure shoulder bump, cartridge length, and other dimensions. A good set of calipers is essential. If you need calipers, check out the NEIKO Electronic Digital Calipers. The tool’s body/frame is constructed of finely polished stainless steel with a knurled thumb roller and locking screw that ensures smooth sliding and accurate positioning. If you’re getting started in reloading or are looking for a back-up set of calipers, this is a good option.

10. Amazon — Ear Muffs (assorted colors) 26dB SNR, $15.99

⏺ Good compact muffs for the price with a good 26dB SNR

We say it all the time but don’t ever shoot without quality hearing protection. Consider these Vanderfield folding ear muffs. Priced at just $15.99, these come in a variety of colors (black, brown, green, gray, red, purple, pink) so you can easily tell yours apart from others. The 26dB SNR sound protection rating is above average for compact muffs. For maximum protection use plugs under the muffs. (FYI, “SNR” or Single Number Rating, is the EURO equivalent of the NRR noise rating in the USA.)

1. Amazon — Caldwell E-Max Electronic Earplugs, $93.81

⏺ Good alternative to bulky, heavy electronic muffs

Electronic earmuffs work well but they can be heavy and bulky. And they can interfere with cheek weld. If you want the benefits of electronics but the comfort of ear plugs try the Caldwell E-MAX Shadow electronic ear plugs which boast a 23 decibel NRR (Noise Reduction Rating). Experience high quality stereo sound while confidently protecting your hearing. With six sizes of included foam tips, you’ll find a custom fit for your ear to ensure proper noise cancellation and hearing protection.

2. Midsouth — CCI Bargain Rimfire Ammo in Stock

⏺ Large inventory of CCI Rimfire ammo starting at 9 cents per round

More people than ever are getting rimfire rifles for plinking and/or matches. Rimfires are inexpensive to shoot, and the reduced noise and recoil are big positives. If you need some .22 LR rimfire ammunition check out the CCI .22 LR ammo sale at Midsouth. There’s a wide variety of CCI rimfire ammo on sale, starting at $4.50 per 50ct box.

4. Creedmoor — Kowa TSN-82SV Spotting Scope Combo, $975.00

⏺ Very good spotting scope with great long eye relief

Whether shooting at matches or just target shooting having a good spotting scope is a must. A great choice is this Kowa TSN-82SV Combo on sale for $975, a $110 savings. This item includes the highly-rated 82SV spotting body, plus an excellent 25X LER (Long Eye Relief) eyepiece AND a deluxe protective cover. NOTE: With its fixed-power Long Eye Relief eyepiece, this scope works great for prone work, mounted right next to the shooter. However, for long-range spotting duties you may want a unit fitted with a higher-magnification zoom eyepiece.

5. Palmetto SA — Taurus TX 22 .22 LR Pistol Sale, $276.85

⏺ Great price on a very good rimfire pistol

If you’re looking to keep ammo costs down by training with .22 LR rimfire handgun, consider this Taurus TX 22 pistol. Taurus TX 22s have earned very positive reviews from purchasers. The frame has comfortable ergonomics and the Taurus Pittman Trigger System (PTS) offers a very good trigger pull. This is a good choice for a first .22 LR rimfire pistol, at a very good price — starting at $276.85.

6. Amazon — 3″ Splatter Squares On A Roll, $19.99

⏺ Cool product — stick-on grid targets with splatter effect

Splatter targets are popular but the cost of large-size bullseye splatter targets adds up quickly. A cool alternative are these Pistep Splatter Shooting Targets. These are handy “reactive” targets that show a yellow splatter on shot locations. Each roll contain 250 three-inch-square stick-on grids. Each sticker has nine 1″ squares on it so determining group size is easy. For a shooter with an accurate rifle, these 3″ x 3″ splatter squares can work better than a large splatter bullseye target.

7. Amazon — Darekuku 30″ Twin Rifle Backpack Bag, $49.99

⏺ Discrete gun transport case at great price

Don’t want a gun case that screams “There’s a rifle inside”? If you need to transport small rifles discreetly, check out the Darekuku 30″ Rifle Backpack Bag. The main compartment has padded protection for two rifles. The handy shoulder straps can be covered with a zip-over panel. There is a zipper-access top compartment and a large secondary compartment (with inner mesh pocket and MOLLE straps) to hold ammo, Kestrel, muffs, targets, or other accessories. We like this case to carry a carbine with folding stock. It’s a steal at just $49.99.

8. Locked & Loaded — .223 Rem 55gr FMJ 1000rd Case, $398.99

⏺ PMC ammo is reliable and good training choice

It’s getting easier to stock up on ammunition and .223 Rem is the most popular rifle cartridge. If you need a good supply of .223 Rem ammo, consider this PMC 1000-round case of .223 Rem at Locked & Loaded. This is one of the best deals we’ve seen on quality .223 Rem ammo in quite some time.

9. Amazon — NEIKO 6″ Digital Calipers, $25.99
