Blaser Introduces R8 Professional S

Six decades ago Blaser Jagdwaffen GmbH set out to redefine the art of gun making. Along the way they have laid milestones to mark their success with such names as the Diplomat, ES67, SR850, K95, R93, S2, F3 and the list continues. Never willing to be second best, the design philosophy at the heart of all models is safety, accuracy, reliability and versatility.

The way forward is often started with a close examination of the past and how we were able to come so far. We examined our existing product portfolio and came to the conclusion we needed to pay homage to the rifle that helped redefine the modern bolt action. The R93 was the straight pull action that started the revolution. Now it only makes sense that we pay tribute to the original and introduce the R8 Professional S into our current portfolio. Built for pure performance; when a split second defines a hunt.

The new R8 Professional S will share many of the features that exist in our current R8 line with the exception of removable trigger/magazine housing. The new R8 Professional S is loaded or unloaded through the ejection port just as the original R93. Sure handling is assured with the elastomer inlays featured in the traditional brown/black stock. All existing barrels, bolt assemblies and scope mounts will function flawlessly in the new platform.

With an introductory price of $2,895 your biggest concern will be where to put your next trophy. Available in calibers from 222 Remington to 375 H&H (standard taper) the time is now! Contact your qualified Blaser USA dealer today to place your order! Read more

Michigan Dometic Violence and Personal Protection Orders Bill Pending Signature

This from MCRGO…

Senate Bill 789

Senate Bill 789, reforms Michigan’s concealed pistol licensing process, eliminates county gun boards and makes Michigan a true shall-issue state. It has still not been acted on by Governor Snyder. The bill was presented to the governor on December 31. Snyder has until this Wednesday, January 14, to either sign the bill or veto the bill. If he does not act on it, the bill will be pocket vetoed. The former legislature, no longer in session, cannot override the veto.

Over the past week, misinformation has been publicized regarding SB 789’s impact on victims of violence and potential victims of violence. This misinformation is inaccurate and is either politically-motivated, or based on a failure to evaluate the legislation in its entirety, the context of all applicable state and federal laws, and their practical application in our legal system.

SB 789 is a process-only reform bill that retains and actually strengthens Michigan’s CPL eligibility standards, among – if not -the strongest of any “shall issue” state in the nation. It ensures action against a concealed pistol license (CPL) following criminal charges, a conviction, or a firearms restriction personal protection order (PPO) is immediate, automatic and does not require deliberative action by gun boards. It has absolutely no impact on a victim’s ability to obtain a PPO. It enhances the ability of actual or potential victims of violence to protect themselves using all tools afforded by the legal system, including a CPL; and it updates the CPL law to conform to federal protections for private medical records.

Ruger Introduces SR1911 Lightweight Commander Style Pistol

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE-RGR) is excited to introduce the Ruger® SR1911® Lightweight Commander-Style pistol; an aluminum frame version of the popular SR1911 Commander-Style pistol. This new model features a black anodized aluminum frame with a satin stainless finish on the slide, resulting in an attractive two-tone appearance in a gun that weighs 7oz. less than the all stainless steel version. It comes factory equipped with an integrated, polished titanium feed ramp and features thin, hardwood grip panels for concealed carry, as well as front strap serrations for improved grip.

Ruger engineers took a hard look at how they could utilize new materials to improve the performance of the aluminum-framed 1911. Most aluminum frame pistols tend to show excessive wear on the feed ramp, particularly when shooting modern hollow-point ammunition. This can result in unreliable feeding and may be expensive to correct. The new SR1911 Lightweight Commander-Style pistol comes factory equipped with an integrated polished titanium feed ramp for a lifetime of reliable performance. Read more
