Following the success of its first "Flash Sweepstakes," Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. has decided to give away two more currently unannounced firearms—and, if you act soon, you could be walking away with one.

This time, Ruger intends to give away a pair of mystery products, which will be launching to consumers on Sept. 15.

"Due to the overwhelming response from our always loyal Ruger customers, we want to offer them another chance to be involved in the product launches we have coming up this week," said Chris Killoy, Ruger President and Chief Operating Officer. "We are excited to be giving away not just one, but two different models with this Flash Sweepstakes."

The two new products, which have just been introduced to distributors, will be revealed to consumers and available in stores on Monday, Sept. 15. From just 5 p.m. EST on Sept. 9 to 9 a.m. EST on September 11, interested parties may enter the "Next Unannounced Products" Flash Sweepstakes online by clicking here. Entrants will have the chance to enter the "Left-Handed," "Right-Handed" or both Flash Sweepstakes and must sign up with their personal contact information and the name of their preferred local firearms retailer.

The winners will be drawn after both Flash Sweepstakes close on September 11. Ruger will announce these winners on Sept. 12 and have the new models waiting at the winners' preferred firearms retailers on the 15th.

Smart Optics 101

Smart optics are changing the way hunters and shooters approach distance, accuracy and confidence in the field. Rangefinding riflescopes, dial-up turrets and integrated ballistic systems are no longer gimmicks. They work, but only if you take the time to understand them and use them to their full potential.
