Bainbridge GA – The Taurus Expedition, the first bolt action rifle from Taurus USA, is designed by hunters, built for hunters, and ready for your biggest adventure.
Based around the durable and incredibly popular Remington 700 action, the Expedition often delivers sub-MOA accuracy, thanks to its hammer-forged barrel. Another user-friendly touch is that Expedition feeds from commonly available AICS pattern magazines. The thoughtful design features don’t stop there. The stock features a scalloped cut, designed to make the gun rest perfectly in gun saddles. Hunters could also utilize the MLOK attachment point on the bottom of the stock, or the integrated Spartan Precision attachment point.
“The Expedition is, without a doubt, the product launch I’ve been most excited about ever since laying my hands on the prototype in Brazil,” said Caleb Giddings, Taurus USA’s General Manager of Marketing. “It’s not just a hunting rifle, it’s a rifle that was designed by hunters, for hunters. Every step of this gun’s creation had input from life-long hunters who’ve taken game all over the planet. That’s why it’s so packed with features, and yet is still able to come in with an MSRP under $1,000.” Read more
