Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Remington Model 700 Ultimate Muzzleloader's priming system unique?

The Remington Model 700 Ultimate Muzzleloader uses a proprietary priming system with a modified .308 Winchester brass case, cut to pistol length. It features a chamfered mouth and flash hole for a tight seal, ensuring consistent ignition with a 9.5 Magnum rifle primer.

How does the Sig P290 RS trigger contribute to shooter improvement?

The Sig P290 RS's longer, heavier trigger pull requires more discipline, encouraging shooters to focus on a slow, deliberate motion. This practice enhances accuracy and builds better shooting habits, which can then be applied to other firearms.

What is the primary advantage of rifles for home defense compared to handguns?

Rifles generally offer superior stopping power and accuracy for home defense compared to handguns. They are more effective at neutralizing threats, especially when properly equipped with accessories like red dot sights and lights, and when the user is proficient.

What is the Dury Guns buy-up program?

Dury Guns offers a buy-up program for children's firearms. When a child outgrows a firearm purchased from them, the parent can trade it in and receive its full original purchase price towards a larger firearm as the child grows.
