Southport, CT --(Ammoland.com)- Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR), announces that owners of America’s most popular autoloading rimfire rifle, the Ruger 10/22, can enjoy the extended fun offered by the new 25-round BX-25 magazine.

The new, genuine Ruger BX-25 magazine features the same correct angle feed lips that deliver the famous reliability of factory BX-1™ 10-round rotary magazines.

The BX-25 magazine will work in all vintages of Ruger 10/22 and SR-22 rifles, as well as all Ruger Charger pistols. The BX-25 magazines have stainless steel feed lips and use a stainless steel “constant force” spring. The anti-tilt follower is injection molded from Celcan – a high lubricity polyacetal. The magazine body halves are injection molded from durable glass-filled nylon.

“These are genuine Ruger factory magazines. We designed them. We didn’t license and rebrand someone else’s magazines,” said Ruger CEO Michael Fifer.

“We tested the BX-25 magazines extensively and they work as well as the original Ruger BX-1 rotary magazine, the gold standard for rimfire autoloading reliability,” he continued.

The Ruger 10/22 is available in many configurations, including the special edition officially licensed Ruger Boy Scout 10/22 Rifle. Millions of shooters worldwide have learned the basics of firearms safety and marksmanship using a Ruger 10/22. It is a favorite of small bore hunters, competitive shooters and target shooters everywhere. Over six million Ruger 10/22′s have been produced since it was introduced in 1964.

February GUNS Magazine Reviews the Remington R-15/30 Rifle

February GUNS Magazine Reviews the Remington R-15/30 Rifle

FMG Publications

San Diego, Calif. --(Ammoland.com)- San Diego, Calif. — GUNS Magazine’s February issue delivers an action-packed issue, featuring the Remington R-15/30 on the cover.

Remington engineers designed a cartridge for deer-sized game, which mated well with the AR-15 lower; the result was the .30 Remington AR.

In GUNS Magazine’s review, the Remington R-15/30 .30 Remington cartridge combo really delivered.

“The R-15 in .30 Remington AR is a classic. Creating a potent 20-caliber cartridge for the universal AR-15 platform was a stroke of genius,” writes Holt Bodinson. Readers will find the full review in the February issue.

Also in this issue, GUNS takes a look at iron sights for hunting rifles. While there is a common notion that iron sights are outdated and inaccurate, author John Barsness argues otherwise.

“This is not the case! Despite the development of modern lens coatings that repel water, iron sights work better than scopes in really nasty weather,” according to John Barsness.

“Irons are also very useful backups. Despite increased reliability, scopes are the most delicate part of a hunting rifle,” explains Barness, “there is a certain freedom in using iron sights. You don’t have to worry about banging a scope on the landscape, or cleaning lenses.”

See the complete article for more pointers on hunting with iron sights.

This exciting issue also features a look at Youth Rifles, the Shoulder Holster, a review of the Stoeger Cougar .45 ACP and more.

This month’s gun giveaway is a Kahr PM9 9mm with a Crimson Trace Lasergaurd, that John Taffin describes as “Pocket Pistol Perfection.” As an added bonus, this package includes an Al Mar Eagle Talon folding knife, a LockSAF Biometric Safe PBS-001 and a copy of the Thunder Ranch Defensive Firearms Techniques DVD.

February’s giveaway is valued at more than $1,500 and is up for grabs by visiting www.gunsmagazine.com/ and following the “You Can Win” link. While you are there, purchase your copy of the February issue of GUNS Magazine.
