Got Wood?

At the February SHOT Show in Las Vegas, their "Got Wood?" campaign attracted me to the Austin & Halleck booth to look at their line of muzzleloaders that used selected wood instead of black plastic stocks.

I stood for a while just looking at the beautiful muzzleloaders, then began picking them off the rack and lifting them to my shoulder. They not only looked good but felt good too.

Doug Evans, Austin & Halleck's Vice President of Sales & Marketing told me they are getting a very positive reaction to these muzzleloaders. Many of the attendees at the recent Safari Club International Convention remarked that the rifles were priced too low for their quality and how good they looked.

These rifles are using the Bold brand precision triggers and the finest wood of any blackpowder rifles on the market today, according to Evans.

Austin & Halleck recently moved stock production to the famous Boyds’ Gunstock Industries craftsmen.

Evans believes a great value for hunters would be their Model 420 Classic Fancy Blu Shooters Support Package (SSP) which includes free bullets, starter, tool kit, cleaning and loading jags, weather shroud and an extra synthetic stock in addition to the handsome curly maple stock on this .50 caliber beauty. It also has a complete ignition set included for percussion caps or 209 primers.

Thinking about applying for one of those special muzzleloader seasons this year? If so, check out the Austin & Halleck dealer closest to you by visiting www.austinhalleck.com or phone 877-543-3256.

Doug Evans has an even better idea for you... Before Father’s Day, print out this article, circle it and write, "Great Gift Idea for Me" on it before attaching it to the refrigerator.
