Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is pleased to acknowledge the successful Koenig-Ruger PRS Match held in Grand Junction, CO. The match, initiated by Team Ruger's Captain Doug Koenig, brought together one hundred competitive shooters from across the country to compete at a high level. As part of this collaboration, Ruger proudly supports the event with funding and offers participants firearms and merchandise giveaways.
"The Koenig-Ruger PRS Match exceeded expectations," said Doug Koenig when asked about the match. "I'm incredibly proud of the outcome and grateful for the outstanding support from Ruger and other sponsors who made it possible. The competitors brought their best, even with a mix of sun, wind and light rain throughout the day, which added to the difficulty of the stages."
Team Ruger's Lauryl Akenhead competed and received two tiles during the match. Akenhead earned first place in the Production division and an impressive second High Lady with her rugged Ruger Custom Shop Ruger Precision® Rifle (RPR) chambered in 6mm GT.
"At the Ruger-Koenig PRS match, I ran a Custom Shop Precision Rifle in 6mm GT, and the performance was exceptional," stated Akenhead. "The rifle delivered outstanding consistency, giving me the confidence to execute precise, repeatable shots throughout the match."
The RPR is a great choice for competition readiness, out-of-the-box accuracy and a highly customizable modular design. This reliable platform offers accessories such as a cold-hammer-forged barrel, an adjustable trigger and an adjustable stock. Its in-line recoil path directs recoil from the rear of the receiver to the buttstock, unlike a traditional bedding system. This provides the shooter with superior accuracy, making it the perfect option from the range to the competitive field.
Congratulations to Captain Doug Koening on another successful match and to Lauryl Akenhead and the other competitors on their stellar performances. Ruger remains dedicated to supporting the competitive shooting community through partnerships and sponsorships and looks forward to continuing its support for Team Ruger and for events that inspire and empower competitive shooters.
