The National Rifle Association’s (NRA) Shooting Illustrated magazine has selected four members of Savage’s new MSR line as Golden Bullseye Award recipients for “2018 Rifle of the Year.” The MSR 15 Patrol,  MSR 15 Recon, MSR 10 Hunter and MSR 10 Long Range were collectively tapped for the  honor, which Savage representatives will accept on Friday, May 4, during the 2018  NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Dallas, Texas.

Shooting Illustrated is an NRA official journal with a focus on concealed carry,  self-defense and tactical shooting. Golden Bullseye Awards acknowledge the finest  products available in the shooting sports.

Savage President Al Kasper said the recognition was a testament to the company’s  long-standing commitment to accuracy, reliability, innovation and quality. “We are  extremely proud and honored to receive this prestigious award,” Kasper said. “Our  MSR lineup of next-generation modern sporting rifles, like all Savage products,  reflects the fact that Savage is not just a value brand. We are a high-quality,
high-performance, well-established firearms manufacturer, offering a full line of  rimfire and centerfire rifles in a variety of platforms.”

To qualify for consideration for a Golden Bullseye Award, the product must meet a  variety of demanding criteria on design, function, value and overall contribution to the shooting industry. The product must also demonstrate extreme reliability and  exceed evaluators’ expectations in rigorous field testing.

Savage’s MSR 15 Patrol, MSR 15 Recon, MSR 10 Hunter and MSR 10 Long Range take the  popular AR-15 and AR-10 platforms to new heights, offering greater performance, expanded caliber choices and a modern design, plus a full suite of custom upgrades packaged as standard features.
