The American Custom Gunmakers Guild’s mission is “Promoting the artistry of fine custom firearms,” and there’s no better example of that artistry than a pair of Model 700 Short Action Rifles being auctioned off Dec. 1 to benefit ACGG’s Education Foundation.

“Bruce Farman and I were talking at Reno in January of 2008 about ideas for raising money for the scholarship fund of the Education Foundation,” Maxson said.

That’s when Maxson eyed a pair of Remington Actions.

He turned to Farman, the foundation’s treasurer, and said, “How about if we build a pair of rifles for the scholarship fund all out of donated components, and do them up in a modest hunting motif in a couple of classic calibers, and silent bid auction them with the money going to fund scholarships for gunmakers?”

The auction is open to anyone, age 21 or older, who meets the Federal requirements for purchasing a firearm. Bids must include:

McMillan Group International Awarded Multiple Contracts for Tactical Rifles

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) December 7, 2009

McMillan Group International has been awarded a contract to deliver 115 TAC-50 rifles to the U.S. Department of the Army, TACOM (Rock Island Arsenal). McMillan was also awarded multiple international contracts to deliver TAC-50 rifles to the Canadian Army, the Republic of Georgia and a Paraguay Law Enforcement Agency. Paraguay also requested TAC-308 rifles as part of its contract.

According to Ryan McMillan, vice president of McMillan, “The TAC-50′s strength is a long-range anti-personnel firearm where precision accuracy and high power are required at extreme ranges, but the TAC-50 is also effective in the traditional role of anti-materiel firearm. The TAC-308 is designed for urban tactical scenarios where accuracy and reliability are critical.”

McMillan’s TAC-50 is the preferred issue 50 caliber for many government and law enforcement agencies, including international agencies, as a Long Range Sniper Rifle.

McMillan’s TAC-50 rifle is also credited with the longest confirmed successful engagement on record. A Canadian Army sniper executed a confirmed 2,430 meter (2,657 yards) shot in Afghanistan setting a world record for the longest successful tactical shot in combat.

The TAC-50 is based on the McMillan 50 caliber action—the same action that dominates 50 caliber benchrest competition. A premium match grade barrel, tuned trigger, hand bedded McMillan fiberglass stock and meticulous benchrest gunsmithing contribute to the extreme accuracy known for the TAC-50.

Despite its power, the TAC-50 is surprisingly easy to shoot owing to the proprietary design of the McMillan muzzle brake and geometry of the stock.

The McMillan TAC-308 is chambered in .308 Winchester with a heavy, match-grade barrel. The McMillan tactical rifle stock features a spacer system, flush mount swivel cups, and adjustable integral cheekpiece. The TAC-308 is produced in two variants. The TAC-308A includes an A3-5 stock with detachable box magazine and 20″ barrel with thread cap. The TAC-308B includes an A3-5 stock with detachable box magazine and 24″ barrel with thread cap.

Small game hunting involves pursuing small animals like rabbits, squirrels, and ducks. Since these animals are small, high power weapons are not needed to hunt them. You are better off investing in a weapon that has greater accuracy to be able to target the small game better.

Also, the price of ammunition should be considered, too, since a hunter can take a great number shots in one day.

Under these conditions, a rim-fire rifle would be perfect

For many big game hunters this is the hunting rifle to choose as there are different variations and features to be found with the guns. Also the model 740 comes in different sized calibers. The caliber sizes you should be able to find for this rifle are from 243 to 30-06. For those hunters who prefer the bolt action hunting rifles Remington also produces these weapons.

This Remington model is in the 700 series and it can be considered to be one of the more popular hunting rifles of American hunters. There are various features to be found with these guns. An adjustable trigger and detachable or non-detachable box magazine are a few of the features you will get with this rifle. This box magazine will sometimes have a hinged floor plate.

Inwood, WV (PRWEB) December 24, 2008

EFI, LLC is pleased to announce that it will be producing rifles commemorating the 2008 landmark United States Supreme Court decision in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller. The Supreme Court ruled in Dick Heller’s favor, finding that the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution protects an individual right to keep and bear arms and that a complete ban on handguns is unconstitutional.

“I’m flattered that EFI, one of the best manufacturers of precision rifles, is working to raise funds for us,” said Mr. Heller. Money raised from the sale of the commemorative rifles will help support the Heller Foundation formed after the historic June 26 decision, and the U.S. Bill of Rights Foundation, formed several years ago by Dane von Breichenruchardt. The foundations are raising funds to defray the significant costs of litigation to overturn the onerous firearm restrictions recently passed by the Washington, DC City Council. Both foundations are not for profit organizations.

“Winning the first Heller case signaled the start of a very long race. Fully regaining our gun rights will be a marathon, not a sprint, and we’ll need a lot of help and support along the way,” said Mr. von Breichenruchardt.

After the Supreme Court’s ruling the Washington DC City Council amended the District’s firearm regulations. The new regulations:

Limit residents to registering one handgun every 30 days,
Require training prior to registering a firearm,
Requires handguns to be re-registered every three years,
Prohibit the registration of handguns that are not listed on California’s Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale,
Ban handguns manufactured after January 1, 2011 that do not have microstamping technology, and
Prohibit the registration of semi-automatic rifles.

Future Heller cases will be crafted to overturn these onerous and blatantly unconstitutional restrictions.

“During the first Heller case I know many people who wanted to help,” said Melinda Meador, President of EFI, LLC and a long-time Second Amendment activist. “Now gun owners can play a part in future wins. Also, overturning these laws in DC on Second Amendment grounds means that they will fall nationwide.”

“I’m honored to be a part of such a historic opportunity,” added Mike Meador, Vice President of Operations at EFI, LLC. “Dick and Dane have given so much for our rights. We now have a chance to return their gift and to show our appreciation for their accomplishments. Our partners include Jerry Stiller, who supplies the actions for our Precision Strike rifles, and Mike Rock of Rock Creek Barrels. Jerry and Mike are both incredibly enthusiastic about this project, and they are looking forward to helping restore our Second Amendment Rights as the Founding Fathers intended.”

EFI, LLC will engrave Dick Heller’s signature, accented with gold, on its Precision Strike and Rapid Strike rifles. Only 25 of the commemorative Signature Gold series for each rifle line will be sold. The Signature Gold rifles will also be personally signed by Dick Heller and will include a wall-mountable display case, an airline-approved hard case, bipod, scope, and Certificate of Authenticity signed by Mr. Heller. Purchasers of the Signature Gold rifles will also have the chance to meet Dick Heller and Dane von Breichenruchardt at a private event to be held at Storm Mountain Training Center.

EFI, LLC will produce the Signature Silver series of rifles for a limited time period. These rifles will be stamped with Dick Heller’s signature and accented with silver. Like the Signature Gold rifles, the Signature Silver Series will also come with an airline-approved hard case, bipod, scope, and Certificate of Authenticity signed by Mr. Heller.

“When Mike approached me with this idea, I immediately agreed,” said Mr. Heller. “Not only will this help us win future cases, but on a more personal level, it’s humbling to think that the rifles that I sign may be collector’s items one day.”

EFI, LLC, a woman-owned small business located in Inwood, WV, is a firearm manufacturer that specializes in custom, highly accurate handguns and rifles for competition shooters, law-enforcement, and military applications. It also offers gunsmithing, refinishing, and restoration services for most firearms, including those regulated by the National Firearms Act of 1934.
