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

Savage Arms Axis II XP Compact 22229

The Savage Axis is rated best-in-class entry level rifle. Axis rifles save money without sacrificing performance. Savage didn't design a cheaper rifle; they designed a better way to make a Savage, including pillar-bedded barrels with more uniform cooling and greater consistency. The modern design with silky-smooth bolt operation, a detachable box magazine, matte black synthetic stock and a 20" black carbon steel barrel allow for multi-purpose shooting in multiple locales. This model comes equipped with an adjustable AccuTrigger and a Weaver Kaspa 3-9x40 scope, that is mounted and bore-sighted.
