SAVAGE
Savage Arms announced a new left-load, right-eject dual-port receiver to expand its lineup of long-range precision rifles. Custom rifle makers catering to varmint and target shooters have traditionally offered such single-shot actions because they allow the shooter to get off several shots quite quickly before conditions change. Savage is the first large manufacturer to offer this high-end custom feature in a production rifle.

The new single-shot, dual-port receiver will be available on the Model 12 Long Range Precision Varminter, which was also the first production rifle to offer a right-bolt, left-port format. The LRPV dual-port will be available in 223 Rem., 204 Ruger, 22-250 and 6 Norma BR. The new receiver is also a feature of an all-new model for Savage, the Model 12 Benchrest.

The 12 Benchrest is designed for 1,000-yard benchrest competition and features the new dual-port receiver, a 29″ extra-heavy barrel, target AccuTrigger and a laminate stock with a wide, flat benchrest forend. It will be available in 6.5 x 284 Norma, 6 Norma BR and 308 Win. With the new Palma and Benchrest rifles, Savage now has models for four distinct disciplines of ultra-long-range competition, where the only option for a factory rifle is a Savage.

TRADITIONS
Traditions Performance Firearms adds the new Vortek to their line of break open muzzleloaders. The Vortek is a newly designed break open action, alloy frame with a “drop-out” trigger assembly designed for easy cleaning. The ergonomics of the over-molded buttstock and forearm provide extra grip and greater balance. With safety in mind, Traditions has skeletonized the action release, allowing the use of standard trigger locks for storage or travel. The Accelerator breech plug has found its way into the long list of features that accompany one of the most innovative muzzleloaders ever engineered by Traditions.

The Vortek is a high performance muzzleloader that comes with a 28″, 1:28 twist barrel and Williams metal sights. The weather-resistant finish on the frame and barrel help increase the durability and protect the finish during those extreme days in the field.

Another new muzzleloader from Traditions is the Buck Stalker, a lightweight rifle designed for fast handling while still hunting. The Buck Stalker is a high performance break action muzzleloader which includes a standard lightweight, rust resistant LT-1 alloy frame. A shortened 1:28 twist, 24″ barrel allows for quick handling once the hunter spots his trophy buck. The 209 ignition and 150 grain magnum loads proves reliable and consistent.
