Rock River Arms Announces First Precision Bolt Rifles

Friday, January 22nd, 2021

Colona, IL – Rock River Arms, one of the industry’s most respected name in Modern Sporting Rifles and pistols, enters the long-range bolt rifle category with the introduction of the all-new RBG Bolt Gun series.

The RBG series bolt rifles are designed to deliver a turn-key precision rifle suitable for long-range shooting and competition. Based on RRA’s proprietary short-action stainless steel receiver and a Wilson (stainless-steel barrel (offered in 24-inch, 22-inch or 20-inch models), the RBG Bolt Gun is available in .308/7.62×51 and 6.5 Creedmoor chambering. The barrel is air-gauged for bore diameter uniformity and cryo-treated to ensure structural consistency.

The barreled action sits in a KRG chassis, which was chosen for its lean profile and precision aluminum bedding. Toolless field adjustability provides a custom fit in any shooting condition. The chassis is compatible with AICS-style detachable box magazines and is ideally suited for multiple long-range shooting disciplines. Color options include tan, black, and green.

Rounding out the action assembly is a one piece, interchangeable two-lug bolt cycled by an oversized knurled bolt handle. The two-lug bolt design provides a smooth action when cycling and features an easy-access external bolt release. Beneath the action is a short-travel Triggertech trigger, or option of a Timney trigger, with adjustable pull weight and a crisp, zero-creep break.

Included with the RBG is a 20 MOA base. This allows the scope to be zeroed to prevent elevation runout for long-distance targets. Standard scope base holes are drilled into the receiver for shooters who desire conventional ring mounts.

Weighing a modest 10.2 pounds with an empty magazine, the RBG Bolt Gun measures 39.5-inches to 43.5-inches in length and is guaranteed by the factory to shoot sub-MOA groups.

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.

Shadow Systems Releases Full Size Pistol, Ready for Duty

Tuesday, January 19th, 2021

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE.

Plano, TX (January, 2021) – Shadow Systems, the American manufacturer of the MR920 and MR920L has released its much-anticipated full size production pistol, the DR920. The Duty-Role 9mm, DR920, was created to be a working gun, fit for law enforcement, military, or anyone who prefers a larger frame and full length top end.

The full size frame of the DR920 incorporates the features found on its compact sibling, including interchangeable backstraps that fundamentally change the grip angle, allowing the pistol to be adjusted to fit the shooter’s natural point of aim. Aggressive grip texture fully wraps the frame and the “recoil control ledge,” a feature which gives the support-hand thumb a place to firmly engage the frame. The extended beavertail and double undercut allow the shooter to get an especially high grip on the pistol, for unmatched controllability. These frame features combine to make the DR920 an exceptionally flat shooter, with very little recoil.

The full length DR920 slides are designed for manipulation under stress, with directional serrations in front and rear, as well as topside serrations on Elite models. The slide has a thin profile at key grasping locations, making handling even easier. Shadow Systems’ patent pending optic cut allows for most brands of red-dot optic to be mounted directly to the slide, for the lowest and strongest multi-footprint optic mount. The optic cut is a standard feature of Elite models and is available as an option on Combat models. The DR920 features a match-grade, spiral-fluted barrel coated in bronze TiCN or black nitride. The barrels are available unthreaded or threaded, for those who want to install a muzzle device.

The DR920 is equipped with a drop-safe, flat-faced aluminum trigger. The trigger has a smooth uptake, a 4.5-5.0 pound trigger pull, and a crisp, tactile reset.

Weighing in at just 23 ounces, the DR920 is one of the more lightweight 17+1-capacity options on the market, making concealed carry possible. Continuing Shadow’s tradition of making pistols that do not require new gear, the DR920 is compatible with most holsters designed to fit a G17.

For Law Enforcement Agencies and Military Units wanting to bring the DR920, or any Shadow Systems pistol, into duty use, Shadow Systems has recently launched a new website, shadowsystemsdefense.com. The new site makes requesting a gun for testing and evaluation as simple as four clicks. Shadow Systems has a dedicated Defense Team who will work directly with departmental decision makers to provide the right duty weapons for officers and servicemembers. Shadow Systems is proud to already have their pistols being used in a duty capacity at departments throughout the U.S.. Later in the year, shadowsystemsdefense.com will also be the home of the upcoming individual first responder purchase program, which will be available through local retailers.

The DR920 is designed and wholly manufactured in the United States, with American labor and materials. The Shadow Systems team comprises former law enforcement officers, members of the military, and competitive shooters. The team’s diverse background contributes to Shadow Systems’ unique design philosophy of building pistols with features based on real-world shooting experience. Every Shadow Systems pistol is designed to be highly reliable and easy to shoot well right out of the box. The reliability of their pistols is supported by a highly engaged customer service team that is often regarded as the most attentive in the industry.
