“vista outdoor”

NRA Publications engaged Mark DeYoung in a one-on-one conversation about what shooters and hunters can expect from the new Vista Outdoor Inc.

Vista Outdoor, Inc., has announced that it plans to eventually break ground on a new corporate headquarters at Station Park in Farmington City, Utah. The company will begin construction on a new facility during the summer of 2015, and expects to complete the project by mid-2016.

Vista Outdoor recently partnered with the Boy Scouts of America to become the official conservation sponsor of the Scouts. Vista Outdoor brands Federal Premium, CCI, Savage Arms, Gold Tip, CamelBak and Bell have become official partners with the Scouts for Shooting Sports, Archery, Hydration and Wheeled Safety.

Vista Outdoor sold Savage Arms and its subsidiaries, Fox and Stevens, to Long Range Acquisition LLC, an investment group that includes Savage’s current president and CEO, Al Kasper, for a price of $170 million.

Much like its Vista Outdoor companion Federal Premium, CCI piqued the interest of media members at SHOT Show 2016, thanks to the introduction of its new Big 4 handgun shotshell. Big 4 is designed to extend the range and capabilities of downsized shotshells, using a payload of No. 4 lead shot.

Although it won’t be formalized until approved at a hearing scheduled tomorrow (Tuesday, September 29) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Alabama, the breakup plan for Remington was filed yesterday.

Federal American Eagle has joined the .17-caliber revolution, and will now offer its own version of .17 Win. Super Mag.

Weaver has announced the release of its new Premium Modern Sporting Rifle Optics Mount, which is designed exclusively with AR-15 builds in mind.

Just like when we attend an NRA Annual Meeting, whenever sportsmen and women get together, it’s a party—and one heck of a star-studded lineup!
