An original oil on canvas titled 'Watchful Eyes' by Gary Swanson has been donated to the SCI Foundation by Frank and Sharon Marciante. Depicted are a mother giraffe and her calf on the Serengeti. Other giraffes and zebras can be seen in the background of this beautiful piece. This painting was originally commissioned for a private collection and measures 51.5-in. x 35.5-in. framed. Gary traveled to nearly every game field on earth, so that he could seek out the secret haunts of the wildlife. For Gary, the freedom, power and romance of the outdoors were a vital part of his creative process. The authentic and often romantic nature of his realism guarantees that his works will continue to be remembered forever. For more information, contact Stephanie Carabeo at 520-620-1220 ext. 268.

Beretta has reintroduced the side-by-side shotgun to their shotgun lineup with its new 486 Parallelo. Rather than giving an older model a face-lift, Beretta redesigned the action, springs and trigger group - as well as the outward appearance of the shotgun. While maintaining a classic look, the 486 Parallelo incorporates materials and engineering features that make it far more durable than anything made 100 years ago. Round Action with Lavish Scroll Engraving Hunters truly knowledgeable in classic shotguns immediately associate a round action with hunts in the Scottish highlands - an important social occasions as well as sporting outings. Holding the 486 Parallelo and seeing its action will also evoke this association. Its round action contains only very few straight lines, and looks like it has grown organically together with the stock into something harmonious and beautiful. New Leaf Springs, Trigger Group, Barrel Technology Beretta incorporated certain features into the 486 Parallelo that make it as hi-tech to the inside as it is classic to the outside. New leaf springs in the action allow for faster and more precise firing pin engagement, for a super-crisp shot let-off; also, the brand new trigger guard keeps all the moving parts captive, making maintenance very easy. The cold-hammer forged OptimaChoke barrels (3' chamber) are built tough and last for generations, and they are designed to take every type of shell from target to high-performance. Moreover, the Triblock barrel technology makes the barrel unit stronger while eliminating visible welding lines. Impeccable Balance, HandlingTipping the scales at just a touch over 7 lbs, the 486 Parallelo comes up to the shoulder naturally and instinctively. Point of balance is right at the hinge-pin, while the portion of the gun forward of the supporting hand will still feel lively - the Beretta way. The wide plane of the side-by-side barrels will naturally guide the eye to the target, also aided by the fact that the action is trim and low-profile. Add to this a gravitational safety that engages if the gun is dropped and the choice between auto and manual extraction, and you truly have today's most useful side-by-side - whether you use it on the field or at the clay range. A true statement of classic taste, the 486 Parallelo is the perfect shotgun for the gentleman or lady hunter.
