Rifles Descriptions

308 - 168 Grain Tipped Triple-Shock X Polymer Tipped - Barnes VOR-TX - 20 Rounds

Barnes VOR-TX ammunition is considered one of the most effective hunting cartridge lines in the world. This premium Barnes rifle load features their polymer Tipped Triple-Shock X (TTSX) bullet designed for accuracy, weight retention, rapid expansion, and deep penetration. This winning combination is sure to help you bring down your next prize trophy! Barnes' TTSX bullets feature a polymer tipped solid-copper construction designed to achieve deeper penetration than lead-core bullets with greater weight retention. The polymer tipped projectile forces the hollow point bullet to expand even faster. Additionally, the polymer tip improves the ballistic coefficient reducing drag and increasing the performance of the bullet. The TSX bullet is designed to expand into four sharp-edged copper petals upon contact destroying tissue, bone, and vital organs for a quick, humane kill. The TSX bullet features a bullet shank with multiple, precisely engineered grooves that reduce pressures allowing for higher velocities. Each round is brass-cased, boxer-primed, non-corrosive, and reloadable. Additionally, this ammunition is lead free!

Bushmaster Gas Piston 90294

The Bushmaster Gas Piston System Rifles bring new levels of reliability to the “AR” type rifle platform by eliminating carbon build up, gas leaks and heat within the Upper Receiver. The Gas Piston System operates by tapping gas pressure off the barrel much like the systems found on AK-47s and FALs * Functions with a wider range of ammunition - less gas pressure - lower cyclic rate * Offers improved reliability and control - with cleaner operation and reduced recoil * Keeps carbon build up and powder residue from reaching - and fouling the Upper Receiver and Bolt Carrier * A Detented Plug in the Gas Block allows easy cleaning of the Systems’ Hard Chrome Plated Piston
