Warne Manufacturing has been making great rifle scopes for many years. Rumors swirled at last year’s SHOT Show about a robust quick detach bipod that Warne was about to release, but that’s where the story ended. Until now. At this year’s SHOT Show Warne introduced their Skyline Precision Bipod.

OSS has what is probably the most unique gas management system in the world of suppressors. Rather than a baffle stack, gasses are routed forward, backwards, and again forward of the shooter – all in a helical pattern.

At first blush this scope will look very familiar to anyone who has seen or used the Leupold Mark 5HD in 5-25 magnification. In fact, it shares the same main tube with its lower magnification brother, so tube size is not a source of additional weight with this new 7-35 version.

The Pacific Northwest and Seattle, in particular, is a hotbed of snowflake triggering activity. It was therefore with some surprise that recently (end of July) a firearms convention actually called TriggrCon was held so close to the Emerald City. Bellevue, Washington, a mere 10 miles from the Seattle Space Needle, hosted this event for the third consecutive year. Manufacturers displayed their wares in booths as well as at the range as has become the custom with such shows.
