Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle On Gun Talk Television

MANDEVILLE, LA --(Ammoland.com)- A rifle designed for short range, long range, police work, self-defense, and big game hunting — that’s the scout rifle, created by the legendary gunner’s guru, Col. Jeff Cooper.

When Ruger introduced its new version of this concept, the crew from Gun Talk Television gave it a thorough workout, and they show off what they learned on this week’s episode.

A collaborative effort between Ruger and Gunsite (the shooting school founded by Jeff Cooper), the Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle is billed as the ideal fighting carbine. Cooper called for a relatively lightweight, hard hitting, do-all rifle that in the hands of an accomplished shooter was able to place accurate, sustained fire out to long ranges, yet was quick-handling and light enough for all-day carry.

Co-hosts Tom and Ryan Gresham ventured to Gunsite Academy, in Paulden, Arizona, to talk with the folks who developed the rifle, and to find out just what it would do. They were impressed.

“I didn’t know what to expect,” said Ryan Gresham, “but this is a complete package, from the cartridge to the little details which make the Scout rifle a serious option as an all-round gun.”

Gun Talk Television airs on VERSUS and VERSUS HD on Sundays at 8:00 a.m. Eastern and Fridays at 10:00 a.m. Eastern. Watch full shows and get the latest news at www.guntalk.tv.

Benelli’s New MR1 ComforTech Carbine

Benelli’s New MR1 ComforTech Carbine

Benelli USA

ACCOKEEK, MD --(Ammoland.com)- Benelli announces the MR1 ComforTech – the latest addition to the MR1 family featuring a stock that’s ideal for normal hunting conditions.

The new MR1 ComforTech buttstock technology reduces recoil without adding any additional moving parts or weight. ComforTech also helps reduce muzzle climb, allowing shooters to get back on target fast.

Benelli offers various accessories for the MR1 ComforTech – switch the recoil pads to adjust the length of pull, or snap in a raised comb cheek piece to raise your eye level for various red dot sights and scopes. The MR1 ComforTech can be adjusted to suit individual physical specifications, giving shooters the best fit for shooting comfort.

The MR1 features a stainless steel, self-cleaning piston that operates directly against the proven rotating bolt, thereby eliminating the need for complex linkages found on other inferior gas systems. This piston-driven system (ARGO), perfected by Benelli, incorporates a gas port located just forward of the chamber where the gases are hotter and cleaner, resulting in less fouling and more reliable cycling. In function testing the same ARGO system in the M4 shotgun easily exceeded the military requirements. The result is a Benelli carbine with Marine-tough reliability able to function under the harshest conditions.

The sights are a military-style ghost ring aperture, adjustable for windage and elevation in the field using only a cartridge rim as an adjustment tool. All steel parts are black phosphate and aluminum parts are hard-anodized in a matte finish for low visibility and corrosion resistance. The Benelli MR1 carbine comes standard with a five-round magazine, but also accepts standard M16/AR15 high-capacity magazines. An optional Picatinny tri-rail fore-end kit is available for mounting a laser aiming device, front handle, illuminator and other accessories.

“The MR1 ComforTech is another great development from Benelli,” said Stephen McKelvain, Benelli’s VP of Marketing & Communications. “Any shooter who appreciates accuracy, reliability and being able to shoot fast will want to own a Benelli MR1.”
