The new IWI X95 is a new version of the Tavor bullpup 5.56mm rifl e. It has a standard magazine release button located for ambidex- trous use by your trigger fi nger, just like an AR-15’s. It also has an improved trigger pull that is shorter and lighter. While the standard Tavor is an amazing example of ‘out of the box’ ergonomics, the market still clamored for a more ‘Americanized’ magazine release button and IWI answered the request.

Federal Premium

The big news from Federal Premium is a 308 Winchester bullet designed for police sniper use. In their Tactical TRU line, new for 2016 is the Tactical Ballistic Tip. This 168-grain Bal- listic Tip-protected hollowpoint boattail has the same exterior ballistics, bullet drop, and wind drift as the 168-grain Match hollowpoint boattail. Many law enforcement marksmen have found the popular Match hollowpoint boattail bullet is not effective after barriers in many countersniper situations. The accuracy, after-barrier performance, and the gelatin performance from the new Tactical Ballistic Tip (T308T) bullet is sniper grade. Federal Premium also introduced a new line of training ammo, Syntech. This is a design improvement over the original Nyclad training ammo. Instead of a nylon coating, the Syn- tech bullet is completely encased in polyester. It will not separate from the lead core or be ribbon sliced by the rifl ing like the original Nyclad. Syntech uses the latest technology lead- free primer, which has the ignition reliability and storage shelf comparable to traditional lead styphnate primers.

56 LAW and ORDER I March 2016
www.mossberg.com The MVP 308 Scout Vortex Combo is a bolt-action rifl e based on Col. Jeff Cooper’s forward mounted optic concept for an all- purpose rifl e. It comes equipped with a muzzle brake, detachable magazine, poly- mer stock, and a Vortex intermediate eye relief, low-powered optic. Shooting a Scout rifl e can be done quickly with both eyes open. This particular version by Mossberg includes a top rail that also provides for mounting a standard style scope for police precision rifl e needs.
We also checked out the Mossberg FLEX line of 500/590 pump shotguns. These pump guns use Tool-less Locking System components. The FLEX-series of shotguns has interchangeable barrels; interchangeable forends; interchangeable stocks, combs and grips; and interchangeable recoil pads. Ap- pealing to rural law enforcement and urban offi cers who hunt, the FLEX 500/590 can be a black synthetic 18-inch breach barrel riot gun one day, and in 10 minutes, a camo 28- inch turkey gun, and in another 10 minutes, a scoped 24-inch rifl ed barrel deer gun.
