Friends Of NRA Offers Major Jim Land Commemorative Rifle
F
riends of NRA is commemorating the long service and lasting legacy of Major Edward James Land, Jr.—to both his nation and the National Rifle Association—with a run of 50 limitededition tactical rifles built by Virginiabased Ashbury Precision Ordnance. Crafted to Maj. Land’s exact specifications, the SABER M700 Major E.J. Land Signature Edition Tactical Rifle is built on Remington’s Model 700 bolt-action receiver, comes paired with Leupold’s new Mark 5HD 3.6-18X 44 mm riflescope and is chambered for the highly efficient 6.5 mm Creedmoor cartridge. Offered exclusively through the Friends of NRA’s National Sponsor program, each of the rifles is custom-engraved with both an individualized lot number and Maj. Land’s signature. “I’ve spent seven decades involved with firearms—from hunting and marksmanship training, to shooting rifles as a competitor and an instructor, to being a sniper in combat,” said Land. “I follow a few simple rules that have not changed over my career: keep it simple; stick to the basics; and use technology to only supplement the basics. These rules have served me well, and I feel we’ve incorporated this spirit into these NRA tactical rifles which bear my name.” For more information regarding how you can own this piece of history for yourself, contact your local Friends of NRA field representative. fieldreps.nra.org.
