Looking for a new iron or piece of kit to enhance the one you already own? Check out these 7 new bits of guns and gear to grow your firearms wish list.
The New Guns And Gear:
Magpul MOE QD M-Lok Bipod
Magpul just made life easier for M-Lok users with the new MOE QD Bipod. It’s got the same rugged reliability and clean design of their original bipod but now attach-es directly to M-Lok slots—no adapter needed. Built from high-strength polymer with stainless steel hardware, it offers smooth pan and tilt, rapid leg deployment and quick one-handed adjustments. Best part? It’s lightweight, stable and priced right for everyday use. Whether you’re ringing steel or stretching your rifle’s legs in the field, this bipod is ready to work.
MSRP: $80
Henry HUSH Rifles
Henry’s new HUSH Series isn’t just suppressor-ready—it’s suppressor-optimized. Built by the company’s Special Products Division (SPD), this is a clean-sheet design engineered specifically for running quiet. Each rifle features a carbon-fiber tension-wrapped match-grade barrel from BSF, a skeletonized aluminum M-Lok forearm by TAPCO, and a forged-carbon Pic rail for optics. The matte-finished laminate stock keeps it rugged but lightweight and a threaded muzzle comes standard. Available in five calibers from .45 Colt to .45-70 Gov’t, the HUSH balances like a classic lever gun—even with a can on board.
MSRP: $1,999
HEVI-Hitter Waterfowl Loads
HEVI-Shot’s new HEVI-Hitter line blends 20 percent tungsten over 80 percent steel to deliver a one-two punch that ducks and geese won’t walk away from. The denser tungsten layer adds serious impact—reportedly 54 percent more kinetic energy than steel alone—while the steel keeps patterns wide and affordable. Available in 12-, 16-, 20- and 28-gauge options, HEVI-Hitter offers 11 loads tuned for everything from close shots to long-range boomers.
MSRP: Starting at $49 per box of 20
Escort WS Youth
Escort’s WS Youth is built from the ground up for young or small-statured shooters—but without feeling like a cut-down compromise. This 20-gauge pump-action sports classic Turkish walnut furniture, a soft recoil pad and a 13¾-inch length of pull that leaves room to grow. The aircraft-grade alloy receiver keeps weight down, while the 22-inch chrome-plated barrel is threaded for Escort’s multi-choke system, making it just as suited to bird hunting as it is to casual clays. With a fiber-optic front sight, sling studs and a manual cross-bolt safety, the WS Youth delivers tradition, fit and function in one package.
MSRP: $300
Mendoza RM-22 Rifles
Mendoza Firearms, a century-old Mexican gunmaker, is now bringing its RM-22 semi-auto rimfire carbine stateside. Based on the classic Hammerli SA22, the RM-22 runs a reliable blowback action and feeds from a 17-round tubular mag. It’s offered in three trims—the RM-22 1000, 3000, and 6000—each sharing the same core action but differing in stock style and optics readiness. Think German beechwood or camo synthetic stocks, with options like thumbholes and Picatinny rails on the higher-end models. Lightweight, affordable and made for plinking or small-game duty, the RM-22 is an old-school .22 with fresh availability.
MSRP: Starting at $225
Leupold Spotting Scopes
Leupold is doubling down on glass this season with two fresh entries: the SX-2 Alpine HD and the SX-4 Pro Guide HD. Both are purpose-built for hunters and long-range shooters who demand sharp optics without babysitting their gear. The Alpine HD comes in 60mm or 80mm objective versions, offering excellent clarity and rugged, lightweight construction at an approachable price. Step up to the SX-4 Pro Guide HD and you get enhanced resolution, edge-to-edge sharpness and a diamond-coat lens treatment designed for hard-core use in tough light. Either way, you’re getting top-tier Leupold performance.
MSRP: SX-2 Alpine HD starting at $399, SX-4 Pro Guide starting at $799
X Vision Optics Shadow 100 Digital Night Vision Viewer
Don’t let the size fool you—X Vision’s new Shadow 100 Mini packs serious punch in a pocket-sized night vision viewer. With an extended 435-yard nighttime range, 8X digital zoom, and a crisp IPS display, this upgraded model delivers clear visuals in low light without the bulk. It’s photo and video capable, stores up to 32 GB internally, and offers seven IR brightness levels to adapt to changing conditions. At just over 7 ounces, it’s an easy grab for hunters, campers or anyone who wants to see in the dark without weighing down their pack.
MSRP: $149
