Ritter & Stark Rifles Now Carried by EuroOptic.com

Sunday, April 23rd, 2017

EuroOptic.com, a leading online distributor for high-performance firearms and optics for sportsmen, police and military, is first US distributor to carry the Ritter & Stark SX-1 Modular Tactical Rifle models and accessories.

Feistritz, Austria (April 2017) – Ritter & Stark GmbH, an Austrian-based firearms design and manufacturing company, is proud to announce EuroOptic.com, a large online retailer of fine optics and firearms from the leading manufacturers, to be the first US distributor for the SX-1 Modular Tactical Rifle, conversion kits and accessories. The SX-1 Modular Tactical Rifle (MTR), which has received major media attention since it’s unveiling at the 2017 SHOT Show, is now available in three calibers, along with Ritter & Stark conversion kits and accessories all at www.eurooptic.com.

“Partnering with EuroOptic.com was a natural for Ritter & Stark,” Yakov Trakhman, Marketing Director for Ritter & Stark said. “EuroOptic’s primary focus is to carry high-performance products for the discerning customer and the SX-1 MTR undoubtedly fits that criteria.”

The SX-1 MTR long-range precision rifle is now available in .308 Win, .300 Win Magnum and .338 Lapua Magnum and 20”, 24” and 27” barrel lengths at EuroOptic.com. EuroOptic.com also offers Ritter & Stark conversion kits for the quick caliber change between any of the three available calibers.

Conversion kits contain a Ritter & Stark barrel with Picatinny rail and a bolt face for conversion of most calibers. The .308 Win converting to a .300 Win (24”) and .300 Win/.338 LM (20”) conversion kits include the Picatinny railed barrel, bolt face and a magazine adaptor. The .300 Win Mag/.338 LM 24” conversion to a .308 Win include Picatinny railed barrel, magazine adapter, bolt face and a 10 round magazine. Other accessories available at EuroOptic include magazine adapters, bolt heads, Picatinny rails, muzzle break, forend handguard with M-LOK, tactical sling and a hard transport case with a customized insert for the SX-1 MTR and accessories and the Spuhr Scope Mount Assembly, recommended by Ritter & Stark.

What sets the SX-1 MTR apart from other long-range precision rifles are several well thought out and executed design features such as having the MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail installed directly on the barrel, thus allowing the user to interchange barrels with pre-set scopes without a loss of zero within minutes. The patented caliber conversion system assures that the barrel is precisely positioned in the machined aluminum receiver, allowing for a greater area of contact, resulting in increased stability. The bolt also locks directly into the barrel breech, which gives the SX-1 MTR unprecedented accuracy.

The SX-1 MTR’s accuracy is a result of Ritter & Stark’s proprietary rifling process. This process extends barrel life, ensures uniformity throughout all barrels produced and most of all, benefits the user with superior performance and accuracy.

Colt Announces the New Gold Cup Trophy

Tuesday, April 18th, 2017

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (April 13, 2017) – Colt, the company whose Gold Cup® has long been the pinnacle of performance in the world of competitive shooting, is pleased to announce the next generation Gold Cup® Trophy. Updated to meet the desires of today’s elite shooters, the pistol is a modern take on the stalwart classic performance firearm that has helped so many competitive shooters achieve victory over the past century.

“We started the development of the new Gold Cup® Trophy when I decided to compete in the Bianchi Cup,” said Mark Redl, Team Colt Shooter and Product Manager for Colt. “Everything about this pistol was designed to make it an affordable option for the professional competitor to engage in the most elite shooting match in the world. We started with our standard Gold Cup® Trophy and upgraded it in the same ways that many enthusiasts and professionals do as they ship their beloved firearm around the country for costly specialty services. Now, for the cost of perhaps one or two of these services, you can buy a brand new Gold Cup® with the upgrades right from the factory.”

This new Gold Cup® features Colt’s competition ergonomics, including an undercut trigger guard and upswept beavertail grip safety, and Colt’s Dual Spring Recoil System™ for improved recoil mitigation. Factory 25 LPI checkering on the front and rear strap of the grip, along with Colt branded blue G10 grips complete the stabilization package. Competitors will appreciate the firing system, which is now the Colt Series 70™ system, which reduces the number of moving parts in the trigger assembly, as well as reduces the length and weight of the trigger pull.

“Another big change for this model is that along with the traditional .45 ACP, it’s also available in 9mm,” said Redl. “The whole package makes this a really appealing handgun for world class competitors.” The new Gold Cup® Trophy is available in 9mm (SKU: O5072XE) and .45 ACP (O5070XE), and has an MSRP of $1,699.

USSOCOM Releases Sources Sought Notice for Advanced Sniper Rifle

Monday, April 10th, 2017

USSOCOM is seeking sources within the national technology and industrial base for a Commecial Off The Shelf convertible caliber rifle which will serve as the replacement for the Precision Sniper Rifle system.

They are interested in:
-complete system to include all 3 caliber conversion kits
-any tools needed to complete the conversion
-a light/sound suppressor that can be attached to the system when needed

ASR System specifics: The system must be adaptable to fire the 7.62mm NATO, .300NM, and .338NM cartridges. The system must have total system weight, less suppressor and with unloaded magazine, not to exceed 17lbs (T), 13lbs (O). Length with stock extended, less suppressor, not to exceed 50″(T), 40″(O), length for transport, by means of folding or collapsing shall be 40″ (T), 36″ (O). Accuracy shall be:

Configuration Precision
7.62 mm 1.0 MOA (ES) at 328 yards (300 meters) (T) 0.5 MOA at 328 yards (300 meters) (O)
.300 NM 1.0 MOA (ES) at 328 yards (300 meters) (T) 0.5 MOA at 328 yards (300 meters) (O)
.338 NM 2.5 MOA (ES) at 328 yards (300 meters) (T) 1.5 MOA at 328 yards (300 meters) (O)

For thise of you unfamiliar, T means Threshold or the miminum acceptable performance, while O means Objective which is where they’d really like to be. As they haven’t specified a specific cartridge, the accuracy specifications at this point are much more subjective. They desire full systems, including suppressor, but SOCOM is simply looking for potential solutions for this emerging requirement at this stage in the game. Eventually, they’ll either specify cartridges they plan to use or open it up the various offers as part of the solicitation. However, the caliber choices are very interesting. Not only are the Norma Magnum cartridges not standard military fare, consider a single chassis that will accept 7.62 NATO along with .300 NM and .338NM.

Offerers have until 24 April, 2017 to provide information to USSOCOM, which isn’t much time at all.

Visit www.fbo.gov for more information.
