Savage Arms has introduced the MSR 15 Competition rifle, now on dealers' shelves.

The MSR 15 Competition is fitted with an advanced, 18” carbon-fiber-wrapped stainless barrel built specifically for the rifle in a collaborative effort between Savage and PROOF Research. A unique, ported muzzle brake allows the shooter to tune recoil impulse to stabilize the muzzle for faster, more accurate follow-up shots. 

A custom-length gas block can be adjusted for optimal cycling of the full range of bullet weights, as well as for use with a suppressor. The gas block has also been upgraded with an integral Picatinny rail and a custom handguard.
