  1. Stag Select Edition - Laramie Pattern

    Stag Arms is proud to present the launch of our Stag Select Series. Rifles that bring you elevation: rifles that are custom designed, each only offered for a limited time, in a limited number.

    When Stag moved to Wyoming, we fully embraced the can-do, American attitude of the Mountain West. So, when the time came to design our first cerakote, we knew we wanted it to represent our values - what we stand for.

    To kick it off we present: the Laramie Edition, a Wyoming-proud pattern that embodies both the Stag Arms brand, and the attitude of the state we call home. The Laramie cerakote brings you a rifle in our Stag Brand colors, while also coming in a practical camouflage that any member of our large hunting community could take to the field. She’s prettyto look at, but also rugged enough to be at home in the Mountain West.

    The Laramie Edition is offered in three variations:

    Right-Handed Stag 15 Tactical 16” Rifle with Nitride Barrel in 5.56-LaramieEdition

  4. Magnification: Can You Have Too Much?

    rifle-closeup.jpgChoosing a rifle scope is at least as important a decision as choosing a rifle. It is not unrealistic to pay as much or more for the scope as the cost of the rifle. So it is no surprise that you want to get all the possible features for your money.

    But when it comes to optics, you can get too much of a good thing. Adjustments that are too fine, reticles that are too complex, and the most common mistake: too much magnification.

    Always fit your optic to the purpose for the rifle. The requirements that a competitive long-range shooter has for his scope are completely different that the requirements for a military sniper's scope, or a hunter's scope, and all are likely different than what is best suited for home defense. Snipers and skilled long-range competitors will likely know what they need, so we will concentrate on hunting and defense, or a combination.

    In both uses, and optic with a magnification

    team stag arms"In the world of Competitive Shooting, the month of August holds the most diversified matches a competitor will find. Long 600 yard shots, courses in complete darkness, and quick speed shoots will test any 3 Gunner in the country to their limits.

    • Single point sling attachment end plates are now included on all rifles with an adjustable buttstock at no additional cost.

  9. Cleaning Your AR-15: Bore Snake or Cleaning Rod?

    ar15 cleaning kitIf you are a responsible firearm owner, you understand that proper care and maintenance of your firearms is essential if you want to maintain them at peak accuracy and functionality throughout their lifetime.

    Cleaning the firearm after use is one of the most important parts of maintenance, particularly if you own larger or more complex pieces, such as an AR-15.

    There are two popular methods available for cleaning: bore snakes and cleaning rods. Does one offer superior performance over the other? Let’s investigate:

    Cleaning Rod:

    Using a cleaning rod is the preferred approach when absolute precision is required, as using a rod will more thoroughly clean the barrel of the firearm than compared to a bore snake. However, this does not mean that a cleaning rod is the correct choice for every cleaning situation. If extreme care and caution are not taken, the rod actually can damage the muzzle or c

  10. The Evolution of Major Firearm Actions

    The Evolution of Major Firearm ActionsFor some, it is hard to believe that firearms have actually been around for almost 1000 years. The earliest reports of firearms date back to the 13th century and gained prominence over the next few centuries.

    Of course, those primitive firearms, while revolutionary in their time, pale in comparison to the innovations in firearm technology that would follow.
     

    Firearm Technologies that Led to the Development of the AR-15

    The Matchlock

    The Matchlock was developed sometime in the 1400s in Europe. It innovated the method with which firearms could be fired through the introduction of a slow-burning match, which would light the flash pan and ignite the gunpowder inside the barrel. This technology eventually allowed for the "rifle" form factor we are familiar with today, which significantly increased accuracy.

    The Wheellock

    The Wheellock was developed in the 1500s and
