Pre-Fit Carbon Fiber Barrels for Savage Arms Rifles Now Available from PROOF Research

Thursday, July 7th, 2016

Columbia Falls, MT (June 27, 2016) PROOF Research announced today that they are offering pre-fit carbon fiber barrels for the Savage rifle, one of the most popular platforms for gun owners to customize. The pre-fit carbon fiber barrels from PROOF Research can be installed without the assistance of a gunsmith, although some special tools are required.

“By designing a carbon fiber barrel specifically for this platform, we’ve made it easy for Savage owners to extract every last bit of accuracy and handling performance from this iconic rifle,” stated Jason Lincoln, VP of Engineering and Product Development at PROOF Research. “Our barrels are up to 50% lighter than steel barrels of similar contour and cool 60% faster than stainless steel, resulting in virtually no point-of-impact shift during high-volume strings of fire. We believe there is no better choice for the custom gun builder who wants to build a precision long-range rifle.”

For the last several years PROOF Research has been proving that carbon fiber-wrapped barrels aren’t just a lightweight alternative to traditional steel barrels, but that they provide superior performance, including extreme accuracy, and unprecedented durability. By combining their unique manufacturing process with advanced technology composite materials and thermo-mechanical design principles, they’ve accomplished what others have failed to do in the past-match-grade carbon fiber barrels that weigh a fraction of traditional steel barrels while compromising nothing.

The pre-fit carbon fiber Savage barrels are currently being offered by Stocky’s and arrive threaded and chambered in a variety of calibers including 223, 243, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5×284 Ackley 6.5×280 Ackley, 7mm REM MAG, 300 WIN MAG and 22-250.

Leupold Announces Live Online Event With Mark “Oz” Geist

Tuesday, July 5th, 2016

BEAVERTON, Ore. — Leupold & Stevens, Inc., will be hosting a special webinar event with Mark “Oz” Geist, one of the Annex Security Team members whose story was told in the film “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.” During this live online event, Geist and Leupold’s Tim Lesser will discuss optics, especially their use in tactical operations, and share stories from the field. Geist and Lesser will also be answering questions fielded from online attendees during the webcast.

“Mark is an American hero, and to have his perspective on tactical optics and their real-world application is an incredible honor for us to share,” said Bruce Pettet, president and chief executive officer of Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “Servicemen and women like Mark are one of the reasons Leupold & Stevens employees are relentless in our mission to make the most reliable and rugged optics in the world.”

Geist, a former U.S. Marine, was serving as a private security contractor working with the CIA at a classified post known as The Annex in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012. When U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens was attacked by terrorists at his nearby residence, the Annex Security Team defied orders and responded, saving the lives of dozens of U.S. State Department employees.

Later that night and into the morning, the same forces launched an attack against The Annex, where Geist and his team successfully repelled wave after wave of gunmen until they were able to evacuate to the airport. Geist was seriously injured in the attack, which claimed the lives of two security contractors, a State Department employee and Ambassador Stevens.

Please join Leupold for this special event on July 6, at 1 p.m. Pacific time at http://leupold.yourbrandlive.com/c/leupold-event-1.

Precision Rifle Series Shooter Joe Caley named as Grunt Style Brand Ambassador

Sunday, July 3rd, 2016

CAROL STREAM, IL-PRS Shooter Joe Caley has been chosen as a brand ambassador for the small and select professional group that represents Grunt Style of Carol Stream, IL.

Grunt Style is 100 US Veteran and Patriot strong lifestyle apparel company whose mission is to deliver the highest quality, most Patriotic apparel on the planet straight to your front door.

Joe served in the US Army from 1990 to 2011 as an enlisted Infantryman, Ranger, Cavalry Scout and Infantry Officer. Joe was severely wounded in Iraq in 2009. As a result, he spent two years in hospitals for his second TBI, several surgeries for his legs, feet, a spinal injury and vestibular paresis. With the help of his doctors and therapists they were able to train and calibrate a Bioness System that allows him to climb obstacles, hills and walk and traverse mountain trails and of course, shoot better than ever.

Joe is currently in 13th Place for the Tactical Division in PRS. “Representing Grunt Style and being part of their Awesome Team is an incredible Honor! When I received the call it was like Colonel Trautman telling John Rambo he had a mission for him. I look forward to representing the veteran community and the Grunt Style brand.”

Tim Jensen, COO of Grunt Style said of Joe, “Joe is one of the most genuine people that you could ever meet. We’re happy to be partnered with him and show everyone what our veteran community is capable of together. ”

Joe is proud to announce that his earnings from Grunt Style will be donated to Tacoma, WA based non-profit, “Liz Rocks.”

The mission of Liz Rocks is to create a state of the art outdoor rock climbing/bouldering wall at Point Defiance Park, Tacoma, Washington in honor of Liz Daley.

Liz Daley was a Tacoma, WA native and a Western Washington University Alumnus. Liz was killed in avalanche in Argentina in 2014 while working as a professional climber and guide for Eddie Bauer. A memorial project was established in her name in 2015 to provide a safe environment to introduce a whole new crowd to rock climbing/bouldering.

Krystle Edwards, Executive Director of Liz Rocks said, “Some of the biggest and most unlikely supporters of the Liz Rocks Campaign have been the Ranger Veteran community, especially people like Joe. We are super stoked to have the opportunity to continue to bridge gaps in our community and provide a place that offers a sense of adventure to everyone.”
