Magpul Releases Hunter Lite Stock – Savage AXIS Short Action

Austin, TX – The Hunter Lite Stock – Savage AXIS Short Action is a purpose-built hunting stock designed for Savage AXIS and AXIS II rifles chambered in short-action calibers. The Hunter Lite streamlines Magpul’s original Hunter Stocks to reduce the weight and dimensions, providing a fully featured upgrade for those who want a hunting rifle that won’t weigh them down on their outdoor pursuits. The result is a stock weighing 20% less, with a forend that’s almost 25% narrower than the original Hunter line.

Built with advanced features and enhanced ergonomics, the Hunter Lite Stock– Savage AXIS Short Action stock can be used by both left and right-handed shooters by simply swapping out an inlet insert on the stock. The extruded aluminum V-bedding block utilizes reinforced steel pillars to prevent compression and deformation while shooting. The buttstock and forend have integral sling swivel studs and M-LOK slots for use with a variety of slings and bipods. The stock can also be adjusted for LOP via removable half-inch spacers, and comb height can be modified using the included snap-on cheek riser.

Other features include an enlarged trigger guard that allows comfortable use with gloves and grants access to the ambidextrous magazine release, an integrated magazine well for AICS-pattern, short-action magazines, and stamped steel over-insertion tabs to ensure repeatable proper presentation of the magazine in the action.

The stock accepts barrel profiles up to Medium Palma, and will be available in Black, FDE, Stealth Gray, and ODG. It’s also proudly made in the USA.

MSRP: $219.95

NRA Defends Freedom in U.S. Supreme Court Argument

The NRA’s commitment to freedom was on full display again this week.

On Monday, March 18, the Court heard oral arguments in the NRA v. Maria T. Vullo case, one of the nation’s most-important First Amendment matters. Vullo is the former financial regulator in New York who tried to “financially blacklist” the NRA in 2018.

The NRA argues that Vullo, at the behest of former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, took aim at the NRA and used the regulatory power of the Department of Financial Services (DFS) to financially blacklist the NRA—coercing banks and insurers to avoid ties with the Association in order to suppress its pro-Second Amendment speech.

The NRA argues that Vullo’s actions were meant to silence the NRA by using “guidance letters,” backroom threats and other measures to cause financial institutions to “drop” the Association.

In response, on May 11, 2018, the NRA filed suit to enjoin the campaign and for money damages. After winning in the trial court, the NRA’s case was dismissed by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York. Thereafter, the Association took its case to the highest court in the land. The NRA is joined by the ACLU, legal experts, constitutional scholars and 25 states in opposing Vullo’s actions.

ACLU National Legal Director and NRA counsel David Cole argued on Monday that Vullo and other New York officials abused their authority in violation of the First Amendment, telling the justices: “There’s no question on this record that they encouraged people to punish the NRA.” Cole said, “It was a campaign by the state’s highest political officials to use their power to coerce a boycott of a political advocacy organization because they disagreed with its advocacy.” Read more
