From the vault: an inside look at some of the competitive shooting guns featured in the NRA National Firearms Museum in Fairfax, Virginia.
Our first stop is the competition case on public display at the NRA National Firearms Museum.
Here you’ll find a number of special items including the most recently added Winchester Model 52. This four-digit .22 cal. rifle was once owned by young Sam Moore who, in 1926, went to a local range, stepped up to the firing line and shot a series that ultimately led to 3,000 consecutive bullseyes. The gold medal mounted on the gun’s brace was presented to Moore by President Calvin Coolidge at the White House. This gun was donated by Moore’s son.
