Great New Guns & Gear for 2006
Here's a first look (in alphabetical order) at some of the newest guns and gear that will be coming soon to a sporting goods store near you.

ArmaLite Varmint Rifles
ArmaLite is now marketing two rifles, with different actions, specifically to accuracy-minded varmint hunters.

The .223-caliber semiautomatic ArmaLite M15A4(T) is a fast, precise rifle equipped with a triple-lapped, match-grade, stainless-steel, 24-inch barrel and flattop receiver. The bolt-action AR-30 is, according to the company, ArmaLite's most precise mid-caliber rifle. Ideal for long-range shots, the AR-30 offers hunters a stable shot with its fixed machine rest shaped stock. It comes with a five-round magazine and 26-inch barrel. The receiver is drilled and tapped. Available chamberings include .308 Winchester, .300 Winchester Magnum, and .338 Lapua. The M15A4(T) retails for $1504, and the AR-30 ranges in price from $1460 to $1615 depending on the chambering.

For more information, contact ArmaLite, Dept. ST, 745 S. Hanford St., Geneseo, IL 61254; 309-944-6939; www.armalite.com

Benelli ComforTech R1
Benelli's new ComforTech version of the R1 semiautomatic sporting rifle utilizes the proven ComforTech recoil absorption system. The ComforTech R1 is offered in .30-06 and .300 Winchester Magnum and comes with the synthetic ComforTech stock and blued steel finish. Barrel lengths are 22 inches for the .30-06 and 24 inches for the .300 Winchester Magnum, and magazine capacities are four rounds for the .30-06 and three rounds for the .300 Win. Mag. The rifle comes without sights, but the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, and a Picatinny-style rail is included. (Open sights are sold separately.) Length of pull is 14 inches; weight is 7.3 pounds. The ComforTech system, according to Benelli, reduces felt recoil up to as much as 50 percent, making the .300 Win. Mag. version feel like a .270 Winchester and the .30-06 version feel like a .243 Winchester. The suggested retail price of the ComforTech R1 is $1333.

DKG Gun Cases
DKG Trading Inc. is now offering a line of gun cases that combine the strength of a hard case with the convenience of a soft case.

Like other hard gun cases, the outer shell of the new DKG case is airlines-approved scuff-resistant/weather-resistant ABS-type material. But the DKG case has no cumbersome, clunky latches. Instead the case features a self-healing zipper. Two strips of rubber tracking flank the zipper on each side, ensuring a snug fit at the seam. And the zipper can be locked for added security. When unzipped the case lies flat. The cases also feature molded in "legs" that enable the case to stand upright when closed, ergonomically designed handles, and heavy-duty foam inserts to protect the contents. Currently available in red or black, the cases are 47 inches long and will hold a single shotgun or rifle (with or without scope mounted).

For more information, contact DKG Trading Inc., Dept. ST, 8791 Stringtown Rd., Evansville, IL 62242; 877-354-2666; www.dkgtrading.com.
