Murfreesboro, TN – Honored American Veterans Afield (HAVA) is helping Barrett Firearms celebrate its 30 years in business this year with a national program benefiting HAVA’s mission of service to disabled military through hunting and shooting events. Featuring a charity event for a one-of-a-kind Barrett M107A1 .50 caliber rifle marked “Rifle 1 of 1”, this event highlights 30 years of Barrett rifle excellence and invites consumers to donate to HAVA and offers the chance to win this extraordinary rifle. This fully nickel-teflon coated .50 caliber, marked with the serial number “30” comes in a Pelican Storm Case with a custom neoprene insert. Information and entries in the charity event can be accessed on-line through www.barrett.net and at Booth #931 at the NRA Convention in St. Louis on April 13-15, 2012, where the rifle can be viewed.
“It is our great honor to support HAVA with Barrett’s special 30th Year Rifle event since we share their commitment to the U.S. military and to those American heroes who serve,” said Ronnie Barrett, President of Barrett Firearms. “Three Decades Down Range” is a milestone for us and an opportunity to give back to those who have given so much to protect freedom.”
“Adding Barrett to HAVA’s family of supporting companies is big news and a further expression of our industry’s heart in supporting America’s wounded warriors,” said HAVA Chairman Tom Taylor. “It shows that a specialist company like Barrett can be an industry leader in bringing focus to this important cause and can encourage other shooting-sports companies to add their voice to our industry’s statement of service to those who have given their full measure of commitment to defending freedom around the world.”
