Savage Arms Introduces the New Model 11 Scout Rifle

 

SUFFIELD, CT – The new Savage Arms™ 11 Scout Rifle combines all of the qualities for which scout-style firearms are known with Savage’s legendary performance. Part of the brand’s law enforcement series, this rifle is lightweight for fast-handling. It easily allows operators to get on target and place accurate shots in real-world conditions. Shipments of these products are currently being delivered.

Chambered for 308 Win., the 11 Scout features a one-piece rail for mounting optics which includes the ability to forward-mount an optic. It is also equipped with the user-adjustable AccuTrigger™, and the AccuStock bedding system, which engages the action three dimensionally along its entire length for the best possible accuracy. The threaded muzzle brake can be removed and replaced with a suppressor.

A spacer system in the butt pad lets you tweak length of pull to accommodate different shooting styles ranging from standard cross-body positions to squared off, tactical stances. Plus, the adjustable comb makes it easy to tailor cheek height to the shooter’s stature and various sighting options. Also, when you move that cheek piece up and down, the front and back can move independently of one another allowing you to change the angle as well.

HatsanUSA Brings Its Quiet Energy to Break-Barrel Aiguns with New Mod87

Last year HatsanUSA released its QuietEnergy airguns. Now, the company is pleased to announce that its proprietary system will be included in a break-barrel airgun for the first time on the new MOD87 Q. airgun.  

This proprietary technology incorporates a fully shrouded barrel and integrated sound moderator to drastically reduce sound by 50 percent without diminishing any of the airgun’s muzzle velocity.  

The MOD87 QuietEnergy is available in .177 caliber (1000fps), .22 caliber (800fps) and .25 caliber (650fps) and is designed to shoot high-quality lead pellets. While this design technique may diminish perceived muzzle velocity when compared to airguns that are rated using lightweight alloy aluminum pellets, the end result is an airgun that delivers greater accuracy and energy upon impact.

SAF to Seattle City Attorney: “Tax Pot Sales Like You Want to Tax Firearms”

BELLEVUE, WA – Responding to statements made by Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes Thursday to KING 5 News that the so-called “gun violence tax” is “not too drastic,” Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation – which is suing the city over the tax – suggested that Holmes should apply that same principle to legalized marijuana sales in the city.

SAF, along with the National Rifle Association, National Shooting Sports Foundation, filed suit last month against the new tax, asserting that it violates the state firearms preemption law.

Gottlieb recalled that Holmes was among the first in line at a Seattle pot shop in July 2014 to purchase a couple of two-gram bags of weed, one of which he said he was keeping “for posterity, and one for personal enjoyment at some point when it’s appropriate.”

“For Holmes to brush off this new gun and ammunition tax as no big deal suggests he’s been smoking some of that weed already,” Gottlieb quipped. “A person would have to be stoned to believe that a tax, no matter how large or small, doesn’t affect somebody.

“But,” he continued, “if that’s the way economics works in Pete’s alternate universe, then he should support a tax of $25 on the sale of every ounce of marijuana, and a five-cent tax on every joint. Think of the money that could be raised for drug treatment and gang violence prevention programs. It would force drug gangs and pot smokers to pay for those efforts.” Read more

CCRKBA Blasts New Gun Control Measure

BELLEVUE, WA – The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today blasted a new gun control measure sponsored by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) as “beyond unreasonable” because it would hold commercial and private gun sellers liable for crimes they didn’t commit.

Sen. Kaine’s “Responsible Transfer of Firearms Act” creates what one newspaper described as “an affirmative responsibility” for gun sellers to take “reasonable steps” to assure that a buyer can legally own a firearm. But it doesn’t define what those steps might be, and doesn’t explain what other ‘reasonable steps’ a dealer or private seller might take if a person passes a background check.

“The language in Sen. Kaine’s bill seems intentionally vague and designed to create a chilling effect, especially on perfectly legal private firearms transactions,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “It appears Sen. Kaine also expects gun dealers and private sellers to be clairvoyant. Just what else could a retailer do beyond a background check? Sen. Kaine seems to suggest background checks on all transactions may not be good enough. The bill just talks about ‘reasonable steps,’ but what does that mean, especially to a private seller? Read more
