Rifles Descriptions
Bushmaster Var24 ATACS
Features a fluted 24 inch chrome-moly steel extra-heavy varmint barrel (one inch diameter out to gas block) and eleven degree competition muzzle crown. Coated bore and chamber. One in nine inch twist free-floated with a vented aluminum fore-end. Two-stage competition trigger (3.5 pound takeup, 1 pound letoff). Ships with manual and 5 round magazine. Covered in A-TACS camouflage finish.
Ruger 96/17M
The model 96/17M wears a light profile 18-½ inch barrel that measures .553 inch at the muzzle. The rifle has a deep blue/black metal finish and an attractive birch stock with a smooth carbine style butt plate. The trigger pull on the test gun released with four and three-quarters pounds of pressure. The magazine holds nine rounds of .17 magnum ammo, and is of the excellent rotary design. Ruger’s rimfire rifles have the best magazine design in the industry. Most competitive .17 magnum rifles have a box magazine that looks like an afterthought, but the Ruger design fits flush with the bottom of the stock, and has about an eighty percent capacity advantage over most box magazines. The barrel wears a set of adjustable open sights, and is also supplied with a scope mount base that attaches to the pre-drilled receiver.
