One of the most common upgrades for Savage 10/110 rifles is an upgraded stock.  The original “Tupperware” stock is very lightweight and is easy to handle however, in some situations the OEM Savage stock is too light.  If this was a dedicated hunting rig that would see miles on foot in the back country it might be a good stock however, it would need to be “enhanced” to overcome some of the weaknesses.

Our friend, Shane, over at PR2tactical makes a sweet rifle level (which we carry, by the way).  Turns out he also makes a sweet hat.  Now, I’m sure you are asking what could be so sweet about a hat?  Hats are hats.  Well, this particular hat has a nice logo and a nice fit BUT it also has a GREAT purpose!  You see, this hat is helping to raise awareness and money for finding a cure for childhood cancer.  Unfortunately, Shane and his family have learned firsthand about childhood cancer and that is how this hat came to be.

So to help Shane and PR2Tactical get the word out Tactical Works is giving away 3 Coral hats.  Here is what you have to d0.  First go to our Facebook page .  Look for the “For Coral *For the Cure” post and  (1) like the post, (2) share the post, and (3) comment on the post.  You have until July 31 then Team Tactical Works will pick the winners at random – kinda like picking a name out of a hat so to speak.  We will post the winners on August 1st.

And while you’re at it, go visit Shane www.pr2tactical.com/hat.html , show him some love, buy a hat and tell him Team Tactical Works sent you.

As many of you know, the State of Colorado passed unconstitutional laws that directly impact law-abiding firearm owners here in our great state.  We Coloradans, have until Sunday June 30th, 2013 at 11:59 to acquire “high-capacity” or what most know as “standard capacity” magazines or be without. 

Unfortunately, these new laws were “voted in” said very lightly,  at a time when the 2nd Amendment was under fire at not only a national level but an international level.  This assault sent law-abiding firearm owners scrambling to buy anything they may possibly want/need “til death due us part”.  It’s a very difficult situation to be in.

Imagine if your dream is owning a vintage Ford Mustang someday in the future.   All of a sudden you are told that within months it will be a criminal act to purchase wheels for said dream car.  It doesn’t seem right, does it.  If your dream was ever come true you’d better insure that you have wheels for that car before the law passes.  Naturally, you decide to purchase some wheels now, guess what, ends up millions of folks have a similar dream and they’ve been shopping, you’re out of luck.

Enter the law of supply and demand.  The wheels that where once readily available are now four times as expensive if you can find them.  Again, it doesn’t seem right.

In an effort to help everyone purchase magazines without getting gouged, Tactical Works, Inc. decided to run some last-minute promotions however, there’s a hitch, we’ve asked for you to “like” our Facebook page for extraordinary discounts.  The offers are still at or below retail if you really don’t “like” us but there is a little extra incentive if you do.   Yea, we know it’s tough.  If you already “like” us then you already have access to the promo codes. Don’t have a Facebook account?  Give us a call, we’ll give you the promo codes for the extraordinary discount.

Tactical Works, Inc. announces new dealer relationship with Mission First Tactical, MFT of Bensalem, PA.

June, 19th, 2013

DENVER, CO – Tactical Works, Inc. announced that they are now a stocking dealer for Mission First Tactical  or MFT.   A representative of  Team Tactical Works stated that they decided to offer MFT products primarily to complement the Tac21 Chassis System.  “Many operators want a folding or collapsible stock for their long range weapons platform to help with concealbility and maneuverability. MFT’s BATTLELINK Utility Stock or BUS, is a solid stock and one of the few adjustable AR15 stocks that has an adjustable cheek piece. After visiting with MFT at ShotShow 2013, we decided that we would offer most of their products to our AR15 community and as an option for the chassis systems that we offer.  The decision made sense because MFT offers a “bulletproof” solution and they are made in the USA.”

About MFT’s BATTLELINK 

As their mission states, Mission First Tactical develops select rifle/carbine accessories specifically for the Military and Law Enforcement markets.  Civilian shooters too benefit from receiving leading edge/affordable products.  The design of MFT’s accessories centers on the need for enhanced accuracy and functionality of the weapons systems improving Operator effectiveness.  MFT accessories aid in rapid target acquisition and rapid, repeatable, accurate shot sequences.  Developed and manufactured entirely in the USA.

Swivel Bipods are almost necessary for accurate repeatable long-range precision shots.  Depending on theory, many suggest that the weapon should be able to swivel with a little force however should “stick” in the desired position requiring zero muscle or effort to hold the weapon in place.  The OEM Harris Swivel bipod does allow for tightening the tension on the swivel mechanism however it is a small wheel nut and it’s difficult to get the proper adjustment.  With a Bipod Lever Lock the operator can quickly and easily adjust the tension on the bipod without coming off the weapon system. The Bipod Lever Lock also allows for a more precise adjustment than does the OEM wheel nut.

Sadly, not many will understand the title of this post “Kneel Where Our Loves are Sleeping”.

“Kneel Where Our Loves are Sleeping” is a hymn by Nella L. Sweet that carried the dedication to the women who decorated the graves of our fallen.

As we all enjoy the three day weekend and soak up family and friends for an extra day, we should not lose sight of what Memorial day honors.  Looking out at the beautiful landscape of Steamboat Colorado I’m in total awe of what beauty we have in this country,  and a sense of pride fills me.  This is mine and yours, this is ours. We are able to enjoy this land as free people.

If we want to climb to the top of the highest mountain we can, if we want to drop a line in the water we can, why?  Because we’re Americans and free.  However, freedom is not “free”, actually it’s quite costly.  My freedom comes at the cost of our men and women who have, are, and will be fighting for it.  The cost doesn’t stop there, not even close.  For those of you who haven’t witnessed a son say goodbye to a father or a father say goodbye to a son knowing it may be the last time please do, and you’ll just start to understand.  Ask a child of a fallen solider about his dad and he’ll shoot straight.  His dad is the “strongest, fastest, toughest, bravest man in the world”, and he’s right.

On Dec 2000 our country passed a resolution to help us all remember why we get that extra day to flex our freedoms.  The resolution is known as the “National Moment of Remembrance” and asks that at 3 p.m. local time, for all Americans “To voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence or listening to ‘Taps.”

For all that is beautiful in this world, please honor our fallen by remembering that our freedom is not an entitlement.  Our freedom is a right that our men and women of the armed services have earned and unselfishly hand over to us Americans.

Thank you for your service,

Respectfully,

Team Tactical Works

The Savage Hog Hunter is factory shipped with iron sights for short range shots.   One option was to keep the iron sights as backup in the case of an optic failure however because this rifle is being built primarily as a training platform, there is no need for the irons.  Additionally, the OEM irons are somewhat entry level and removal is straightforward so they will be removed.
