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

Thompson Icon

Known for its reliability, the Thompson Center Icon Bolt Action Rifles are great for hunting and target shooting. There are so many technical, mechanical and performance enhancing features on Thompson Centers Icon that it can't really be compared to other bolt actions. From the revolutionary Interlok Bedding System, to the innovative T-Slot Extractor, the Icon is the ultimate in accuracy, precision and reliability. The Icon comes chambered in popular calibers like, .22-250, .243, .308, and the 30TC. Thompson/Center teamed with Hornady to engineer a cartridge designed to work perfectly with the Icon. It's a .30 caliber medium action cartridge with the velocity and knock down power of a 30-06 cartridge.
