Blackhawk Folding Back-Up Sights Blackhawk Folding Back-Up Sights were developed from the recommendations of rifle users who demanded specific functionalities from secondary sighting systems.
Constructed from a lightweight polymer base combined with aluminum parts, the sights have an overall weight of just 2 ounces. When not in use, Blackhawk's sights fold down to fit under optics without obstructing sight picture. When it's time to deploy, simply activate the spring-loaded sights with ambidextrous thumb paddles.
Price: $59.95 each

Federal Trophy Copper B.O.R. Lock MZ Muzzleloader Bullets Federal's new
Trophy Copper Muzzleloader Bullet with B.O.R. Lock MZ System is one of the most innovative products introduced to the world of black powder firearms for quite some time now.
The innovation comes from Federal's new B.O.R. Lock MZ system, designed to enter the barrel easily without excessive force, yet expand to create a tight seal against the rifling when exiting the barrel. The .50-caliber bullet starts with a polymer cup that's permanently attached to the base of the bullet. The cup pushes into the base of the bullet upon ignition, forcing raised polymer bands to expand and create a tight seal against the bore and engage the rifling. Increased velocity and accuracy are the intended effects, in addition to easier loading compared to sabot bullets.
Price: $24.95 per 15-pack
