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

Traditions Vortek StrikerFire R40-569246DCS

The internal StrikerFire system in Tradition's Vortek StrikerFire Muzzleloader replaces the external hammer for a fast-cocking muzzleloader – giving you the ability to mount your scope closer to the bore. To cock, the striker button slides forward until it locks, while a recessed button allows it to be easily de-cocked. Lightweight, rugged and reliable LT-1 alloy frame sports a durable, weather-resistant nitride-coated finish and is mated to a lightweight 28" chromoly tapered fluted barrel. Speed load system. Creep-free, competition-style  two-stage TAC2™ Trigger is factory set at 2 lbs. A 1-in-28" rate of twist results in outstanding accuracy. Hogue® Comfort-Grip overmolding on the Monte Carlo-style stock ensures a firm grip in any weather conditions. Stow-N-Go removable butt pad for storage inside the stock. Extended ambidextrous hammer extension. Solid-aluminum ramrod with Quick-T ramrod handle functions as a palm saver and a T-handle bullet starter. Soft-touch synthetic camouflage stock.

Includes a factory-installed and boresighted Nikon 3-9x40 Inline XR muzzleloader scope with calibrated BDC 300 rangefinding reticle for shots out to 300 yds., fully multicoated anti-reflective optics for optimum light transmission and maximum brightness, quick-focus eyepiece with generous and consistent 5" eye relief, hand-turn 1/4-MOA adjustments, spring-loaded zero-reset turrets and spot-on ballistic match technology.
