FAQ

For many reasons! A shotgun is inferior to a rifle beyond anything more than close range, and in situations needing greater penetration (like being charged by a buffalo). Especially important to law enforcement, a shotgun’s spread of pellets has high potential for injuring bystanders, while a well-aimed round from a rifle causes near instant incapacitation, with little risk of collateral damage. A rifle has fewer parts to malfunction than a shotgun, is easier to maintain, and the detachable box magazine provides more ammunition and quicker reloads.

We are currently developing a model chambered in .22 long rifle for cost effective training, or just good old fashioned plinking fun. The Ranger Rifle itself is chambered in .308 Winchester (and can accept 7.62x51mm NATO) because it is one of the most common cartridges around the world, and has the proven capacity to be effective against both man and animal. Other calibres can be made available for specific unit orders.

We can and we do! Being a bolt-action ‘sporting gun’ the Ranger Rifle is permitted in countries where semi-automatics are forbidden. We can walk you through the process of export and import, and offer our advice on the steps that need to be taken.
