Ruger Introduces Custom Shop Precision Rifle in 6mm Creedmoor

Thursday, January 21st, 2021

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is pleased to introduce the Ruger Precision® Rifle chambered in 6mm Creedmoor as the newest addition to the Ruger Custom Shop® line of firearms. Designed in collaboration with Team Ruger Captain, Doug Koenig, this new model builds upon the already competitive Ruger Precision Rifle to deliver a factory-built firearm specifically designed for long-range competition.

The new Custom Shop Ruger Precision Rifle features a factory-installed TriggerTech Trigger with Frictionless Release TechnologyTM providing an exceptionally crisp break, minimized overtravel and an extremely short and tactile reset. A unique barrier stop is installed on the front of the magazine well to enhance the shooter’s positional support during competition by providing a stable and repeatable shooting position. Internally, the rifle boasts an improved firing pin tip geometry that enhances functionality with a wide variety of primers while allowing for decreased force necessary to manipulate the bolt.

This rifle’s custom, heavy-contour (.850″ at the muzzle), highly accurate free-floated barrel is cold hammer-forged from chrome-molly stainless steel and features 5R rifling for minimum bullet upset. Minimum bore and groove dimensions (air-gauged for process control) and a centralized chamber deliver outstanding accuracy, longevity and ease of cleaning. The barrel features a 1:7” twist rate, 5/8”-24 threaded muzzle and APA Muzzle Brake (.264 bore) to effectively reduce recoil aiding shot observation for quick follow-up.

Encompassing the stainless steel barrel is a hard-coat anodized aluminum, free-float handguard that features M-LOK® slots on all four sides for improved clearance for long-range scopes and easy mounting of M-LOK-compatible rails and accessories. The handguard is flat bottomed for stability and incorporates an integral bottom 1.50” dovetail, making the gun compatible with RRS S.O.A.R. and similar QD systems.

With its ability to accept AR-style grips and buttstocks, the rifle incorporates a Magpul® MOE® K2+ grip to provide a more vertical grip angle in a full-sized design. Select parts of the rifle are finished with a durable Cerakote® for improved wear resistance. This model ships with two Magpul PMAG® magazines and a Sorbothane® cheek pad that provides a comfortable and stable cheek-to-stock weld for quick target acquisition.

The value proposition of the Ruger Custom Shop Precision Rifle in 6mm Creedmoor is without peer. With top-tier accuracy, adjustable ergonomics and the rugged reliability and affordability for which Ruger is famous, this new offering provides a long-range, competition-ready rifle directly from the Ruger factory.

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – January 20, 2021 – Savage Arms is proud to announce three dynamic new additions to its catalog. Guns & Ammo Magazine’s Shotgun of the Year for 2020 is now available in sporting model: RENEGAUGE Competition. The 110 Tactical and AXIS II are now being chambered for the 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge (ARC). And for long-range hunters, four Model 110s will be chambered in 28 Nosler.

“2020 was a big year for Savage,” Al Kasper, President and CEO of Savage Arms said. “2021 is going to be even bigger. We have our sights firmly set on innovation and really rounding out our catalog. These three models do just that. Each represents something our customers have been asking for. 6mm ARC is a round with a tremendous potential. 28 Nosler is pushing the limits for ethical hunting—and RENEGAUGE keeps on evolving.”

RENEGAUGE Competition

RENEGAUGE Competition builds on the American made 12 gauge’s success and adds some new elements specifically designed to give the platform a competitive edge.

Tactical marksmen will appreciate 6mm ARC’s potential for weight retention and penetration, and the 110 Tactical is an ideal rifle for the job.

28 Nolser Chamberings

28 Nosler is the most powerful 7mm cartridge commercially available. For long range hunts, 28 Nosler is a winner and these four new 110s are poised to make the most of the chambering.

The four model 110s that will debut the new chambering are well suited for hunting. The new 110 Timberline will be available in both left- and right-hand configurations.

Tactical Medical Solutions TacMed Introduces the RISE (Rigid Immobilization System for Extremities)

Wednesday, January 20th, 2021

Engineered for professional first responders to be the most rugged, low-profile rigid splint for extremity fractures and pelvic binding in the prehospital environment.

Anderson, S.C. (January 19, 2021) – Tactical Medical Solutions, LLC (TacMed), in support of trained first responders both on the battlefield and on the streets, will be the global provider of more than 150,000 groundbreaking splints over the next three years. TacMed is excited to introduce the RISETM (Rigid Immobilization System for Extremities).

The Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC) recognizes splinting and pelvic binding application as a critical step in preventing additional injury during casualty evacuation. But most splinting devices are cumbersome to carry or pack inside a medical kit. Not only does the RISETM significantly reduce weight and size of current market options, it is uniquely capable for both limbs and pelvic stabilization.

Originating from lessons learned on the battlefield, the RISETM is a durable, rugged, extremely compact splint for point-of-injury care. It can be intuitively applied under stress as a straight splint, 90-degree splint, or pelvic binder by using a windlass or ratcheting tourniquet with the available cutout slots. Preformed folding points allow the RISETM to fit into most individual first aid kits, including all standard military-issue IFAKs. The RISETM is radiolucent, blood and chemical resistant, and proudly made in the USA.

The RISETM was developed in partnership with the U.S. Army and tested by military personnel at Fort Hood, Texas, and Schofield Barracks in Oahu, Hawaii.

“The ability to have fracture and pelvic stabilization capabilities from an IFAK is an advantageous addition for our soldiers and trained first responders.”
– Dennis Lyons, Director of Business Development for Tactical Medical Solutions®.

Strike Industries SIAR

Wednesday, January 20th, 2021

The Strike Industries SIAR is a monolithic modular short-stroke piston gas system AR-15 upper receiver assembly. The SIAR uses any AR-15 compatible barrel with 0.75-inch gas block journal that has a mid-length gas system and the barrel is easily swapped out by loosening two (2) hex screws. Keeping the theme of trying to use as many common Mil-Spec AR-15 parts as possible, the SIAR BCG can use any AR bolt head to easily change calibers. A 4-position regulated gas block propels a single gas piston. Since the operating system is contained within the upper, you can use any lower receiver with or without a receiver extension giving you any option to pair the SIAR upper assembly with. The side charging handle is swappable, non-reciprocating and placed forward out of the way. Handguard has five (5) M-LOK slots on either side and six (6) on the bottom. Various colors. SIAR will need a barrel, BCG, firing, muzzle device and AR lower receiver to complete.
