DALLAS –-(Ammoland.com)- Over the course of four days, visitors of the DSC 2017 Convention will have the opportunity to contribute to DSC conservation efforts of ensuring the future of hunting and protecting a proud heritage. Through a series of silent and live auctions, convention attendees can bid on a wide variety of multi-day hunts, artwork, firearms, luxury fishing excursions, jewelry and more. This week’s highlighted auction item is a Hill Country Rifles’ Genesis rifle in .300 Win Mag, valued at $8,500.
Hill Country Rifle’s Genesis rifle is the perfect marriage between beautiful English walnut and durable, stainless steel match-grade rifle components. The Genesis is custom-built on a CNC-machined, stainless steel action featuring a one-piece bolt body and handle machined from solid billet, M-16 style extractor and Timney trigger tuned to a crisp 2.75 pounds. The action is fitted with a perfectly chambered match-grade stainless steel, 24-inch barrel with recessed target crown.
Once the barrel work is complete, the action is aluminum pillar and glass-bedded into a gorgeous, handcrafted, exhibition grade English walnut stock. The aluminum pillar bedding and free-floating barrel make the rifle extremely accurate and ready for inclement conditions. The stock is hand-checkered and finished in a beautiful yet durable hand-rubbed oil finish. The stock features English ball sling studs and a perfectly fitted one-inch Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad. All metal is coated in a tough, rustproof Cerakote finish for added durability and a traditional appearance. This rifle package includes a Swarovski 3-10×42 scope mounted in Talley Signature mounts. The rifle is already sighted in and fully tested for accuracy with factory ammunition and is guaranteed to shoot three-shot, half-inch groups at 100 yards with recommended factory ammunition.
