Edgar Brothers rifles at the NRA
Edgar Brothers partners NRA to supply set of customised Savage Model 12 rifles for training and hire fleet
We are delighted to have taken delivery of 20 new Savage Model 12 rifles in .308 customised to suit the NRA’s needs with a retro-fitted Palma stock.
After a period of extensive testing performed by NRA instructors, the Savage Model 12 in .308 was unanimously selected as the rifle of choice for our training and hire fleet.
Ten of the rifles are configured with iron sights and conform to the rules for Target Rifle competition. The other ten have the Savage full-profile barrel and are configured with bipods and Vortex scope sights, conforming to the rules for F/TR competition.
The agreement means all shooters passing through an NRA training course from now on will experience for themselves the out-of-the-box accuracy that the Savage Model 12 is renowned for while also providing Edgar Brothers with more exposure for the iconic American firearms brand it has been working with for six years.
Lisa Riley, director at Edgar Brothers, said: “Just like watching the F Class competitions at Bisley, it was a nail-biting test of performance that concluded with the NRA choosing the Savage Model 12 as their on-site training and hire rifle. As Savage themselves claim, winning sometimes really is everything, and were proud to support the NRA’s initiatives when it comes to training, accuracy and overall experience. The Savage Model 12 really is an outstanding product and this partnership gets them into people’s hands and hearts.”
Designed for unparalleled accuracy at extreme distances, thanks to a user-adjustable Target AccuTrigger for a personalised trigger pull, the Model 12 F/TR’s 30-inch, full-profile stainless steel barrel is button rifled and perfectly balanced with the wood laminate stock. The 12 F/TR also includes an oversized bolt handle and single-shot Target Action. The Model 12 TR has the same features but with its slightly lighter profiled barrel meets the lower weight limit for TR competition and training.
David Camp, NRA national training manager, said: “We are extremely pleased to be working with Edgar Brothers and to have taken delivery of the Savage rifles. This is a positive step towards ensuring that our students have access to the same firearms throughout their training and familiarise themselves with them. These firearms not only look fantastic, but they are packed with features that make them ideal training rifles.”
The rifles are available to hire from the NRA armoury
