Madison, N.C. – The Model Five
Bolt-Action Rimfire rifle has garnered well-deserved respect
since its introduction in 2006 for its superior performance,
ruggedly-solid design and surprisingly affordable price. Three
new versions will join the standard 22 LR and 22 WMR brown
laminate stock offerings in 2008 – the Model Five Youth in 22
LR; the Model Five Laminate in 17 HMR; and a classic
Model Five in 22 LR with European Walnut stock. Whether
you are a new shooter, small game hunter or just like to spend
an afternoon plinking, these full-featured rimfires deliver a
level of performance you would only expect from a premium
centerfire rifle.
The Model Five platform features a reliable, smooth-operating
solid steel bolt action; carbon-steel, hammer-forged barrel with
standard 1:16 inch rate of twist; detachable, steel magazine box
with five-round capacity; steel trigger guard; chrome-plated
bolt body; single stage trigger with manual two-position safety;
butt plate; convenient sling swivel studs (excluding Youth
version); adjustable big game-style rifle sights; and
dovetail-style receiver for the option of mounting optics. Both
receiver and barrel wear a traditional polished blue finish
which completes this classic rimfire rifle.
Model Five Youth 22 LR – Comfort, fit and safety are the
key features of a firearm designed for the younger shooter and
this rimfire may just be the perfect “first-time” rifle. The
downsized, hardwood stock has a shortened length of pull
(123/8-inches) which provides proper balance and fit with the
more compact 161/2-inch barrel. Bolt-actions inherently offer a
level of safety with manual cycling of the bolt required but the
inclusion of a single shot adapter on this Youth version adds
the option of turning this five-shot capacity rifle into a
single shot. The Model Five Youth platform, combined with the
affordable and easy-shooting 22 LR chambering, makes this
rimfire the ideal rifle for the new shooter at the range or to
take afield on their first hunt. Suggested retail price: $237
Model Five Laminate 17 HMR – The flat-shooting, medium
range 17 HMR offering has many rimfire enthusiasts back out at
the range and in the field. By combining this premium performer
with the accurate Model Five bolt-action, rimfire shooting is
taken to the next level. On this version, the
flawless-functioning action is housed in a sturdy weather
resistant, brown laminate stock. 22 LR and 22 WMR chamberings
are also available. Suggested retail price: $363
Model Five European Walnut Stock 22 LR – If a more
traditional rimfire offering is your preference, then this Model
Five with a classic wood stock, constructed of European Walnut,
may catch your eye. Available in 22 LR only. Suggested retail
price: $279
Every shooter needs a bolt action rimfire rifle and these
well-designed Model Five rifles deliver performance, accuracy
and a whole lot of fun!
