They manufacture both precision tactical rifles and high end stocks.<\/p>\n<p>You may remember that H-S Precison ran afoul of the gun community by<a href=\"http:\/\/www.freerepublic.com\/focus\/news\/2138289\/posts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> publishing an endorsement of their products<\/a> by the infamous FBI sniper <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lon_Horiuchi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lon Horiuchi<\/a>. Horiuchi, to remind everyone, was the sniper who shot and killed Vicki Weaver at Ruby Ridge while she was holding an infant in her arms.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wallsofthecity.net\/2009\/05\/soaking_wet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">After criticism<\/a> from the gun community, H-S Precision took down the endorsement but <a href=\"http:\/\/thelawdogfiles.blogspot.com\/2008\/12\/h-s-precision-women-and-children-first.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dissembled about the reason<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to this afternoon. I overheard one of H-S Precison&#8217;s reps telling a potential customer that the rifle he was showing him was an actual ATF sniper rifle. He then went on to say that they try to get either a rifle from the FBI or the ATF for these shows.<\/p>\n<p>I said to myself, WTF? I probably should have gone back to the booth to ask the rep to repeat himself but I didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>He could have said it was a sniper rifle from the Marines or a special Army unit or even the sniper rifle used by the Sheriff&#8217;s Department SWAT Team in Upper Podunk County and it wouldn&#8217;t have mattered. However, saying it was an ATF sniper rifle at the NRA Annual Meeting is like waving a red flag in front of a bull. In other words, sheer and utter stupidity mixed with a strong dose of contempt for the setting.<\/p>\n<p>This is a company that just doesn&#8217;t get it. Why would anyone in the gun culture want to deal with them when there are plenty of others that make both top-notch tactical rifles and stocks and that respect both gun and civil rights.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While roaming the floor today at the NRA Annual Meeting, I happened to pass by the H-S Precision booth.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":7,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2639,2640],"class_list":["post-1717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-h-s-precision","tag-lon-horiuchi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1717"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1717\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9845,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1717\/revisions\/9845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
