Rifles Descriptions

Axial Mountain Shadow

The Axial Precision Mountain Shadow is uniquely designed and built around its cartridge propellant. The rifle is only chambered in cartridges compatible with this powder. You can shoot other ammo, but the rifle performance is highly optimized around its designated propellant/loads. The Mountain Shadow was designed in-house with assistance from the Engineers at Hornady who are some of the leading experts in modern magnum – heavy for caliber ballistics. Over 5 years of research and testing – includes input from over fifty hard core sheep hunters, and some of the most proficient sheep guides in the world. Utilizing short barrel optimization and the patented Axial Precision ATAS alignment system, the high frequency harmonics are contained and thus aid in 1/2 MOA accuracy in heavy-for-caliber bullets unlike the pencil-thin long barrels of the lightweight rifle platforms, which are merely milled down versions of their heavier brothers. The longer the barrel the higher the resonant frequency at the muzzle – high muzzle resonance and heavy – fast bullets= large, erratic groups.

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
