S. Amendment 711 - legal guns - continued

It is a good estimate that if the Assault Weapons Ban was enacted into permanent law, all the mass shootings in the USA since President Bush permitted it's expiration would not have happened.

There is a lot that goes into designing guns to deliver ammunition. The trajectory of a bullet 'takes a dive' after it is fired. That is figured into 'gun sights' when they are mounted onto the weapon. The Magnum in this case was made to be 'lighter' so the 'flight / trajectory' of the bullet is less effected by air resistance and gravity. This Magnum has less gun powder and less metal, so it's trajectory won't deteriorate as quickly. 
These bullets cost $3.75 each.

The idea of shortening a magnum case, and increasing performance by optimizing a case's geometry to deliver more power with less powder began with Lazzeroni back in the early 1990's.Winchester introduced  seven different Short and Super Short Magnums, (3 WSSM & 4 WSM)  in the early 2000's. Now Ruger and Hornady have developed two "Proprietary" Short Magnums, the 300 RCM and  338 RCM, RCM for Ruger Compact Magnum.
200 grain projectile = 2,850 FPS
225 grain projectile = 2,710 FPS
and slightly beats out the
338 Winchester Magnum

This bolt action rifle was manufactured just twelve years (1973-1985), by JP Sauer of Germany for Colt. According to the serial number chart below, only 15,600 rifles were produced from 1973 through 1978. I don't have the serial number ranges after 1978, but I'm looking for them.
Bolt action firearms (click here) have earned a reputation for being more powerful and accurate than any semi automatic rifle. For this reason, they are still the choice of many target shooters and snipers. This is true because of the way that bolt action rifles close the chamber. When a bullet fires inside the chamber, the force from the explosion is completely directed at propelling the bullet down the barrel (In an autoloader, part of the energy is used to cycle the action). Also, a bolt action's only moving parts when firing are the pin and spring.

The Savage Axis is built for hunting, (click here) and it shows in the stock design. The wrist area of the stock is smaller in circumference than most, which makes for a very secure grip, with or without heavy gloves. The grip and forend areas are heavily textured for a secure grip as well. The trigger guard has plenty of room for a gloved finger. The stock has sling swivel studs attached, as should all hunting rifles. The butt of the stock wears a very well-designed and effective recoil pad. It has plenty of thickness and plenty of give, making the rifle very comfortable to shoot. There are no open sights on the twenty-two inch barrel, but the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases. The sporter-taper barrel measures just .581 inch at the muzzle, and the barrel is free-floated into the stock.  The barrel is threaded into the receiver, and locked into place by the familiar Savage barrel nut.  As mentioned, this rifle is a hunter’s rifle. It handles and balances very well, and the 243 shown here weighed in at six and one-half pounds, just as advertised. It is light enough to carry well afield, but still has enough heft to feel like a real rifle, and not an abbreviated version of one.

As a point of interest the 'end cap' on many shotguns and rifles are an 'add on' to absorb the recoil (explosion). This is an example.
