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

Weatherby Vanguard Series II Sporter

Weatherby rifles are world renown in big game hunting fields for quality and accuracy. The Vanguard® Series 2 Sporter Bolt-Action Rifle is well suited for long range shooting—so accurate that Weatherby guarantees it will shoot a 3-shot group of .99" or less at 100 yards (SUB-MOA) when used with specified Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. At the heart of the Vanguard Series 2's accuracy are a 24" barrel and a two-stage trigger that adjusts down to a pull weight of 2.5 pounds. The Vanguard Series 2 Sporter features a walnut, Monte Carlo stock, and a blued barrel and receiver. The Vanguard Series 2 has a fluted bolt with a cocking indicator, a three-position safety that gives the user the option of loading and unloading the rifle while on safe, and the ability to lock the bolt closed on safe while carrying the rifle over rough terrain. A hinged floorplate allows for quick and safe unloading of the magazine. The Vanguard Series 2 Sporter Bolt-Action Rifle is offered in many chambers to match your big game hunting, predator hunting, and long-range shooting needs.
