Rifles Descriptions

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

Howa Varminter HGR91223

The Howa compact varmint model is built with a 20" heavy barrel, and is offered in .22-250 Remington a highly popular varmint caliber. The short, heavy barrel provides ease of maneuvering and excellent heat dissipation. The Hogue overmolded stock in OD green has aluminum pillar bedding and a soft rubber skin for sure, weather beating grip. It won't harden with age, impervious to gun cleaning solvents/gun oils. Pillar bedding uses aluminum bosses for rock-solid accuracy. Barrel free-floats for maximum accuracy. Stocks come with ambidextrous palm swells, a varminter style forend, built-in swivel studs and Hogue recoil pad.
