Savage Arms’s Matt Alwine Wins “Top Production” at 2024 PRS Finale

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – November 18, 2024 – Team Savage, the shooting representative of renowned firearms manufacturer Savage Arms®, proudly announces team member Matt Alwine ending a highly successful season by winning the Production Division for both the 2024 Precision Rifle Series (PRS) Finale and Season. Alwine also finished second in the Open Division with a production rifle which was the best finish in the history of the PRS Championship with a production rifle. 

The 2024 PRS Finale took place in Mountain Home, Idaho, November 2-3, 2024. Competing in the Production Division, Alwine took the top spot. His final score of 195.00 won his division handily and was good enough for second overall.  

“Matt’s historic finish this season and consistent dominance for the last several years has continued to showcase how the precision of Savage rifles is an asset to shooters,” said Beth Shimanski, Director of Marketing at Savage Arms. “Matt’s ability to compete and win at the highest levels with a Production firearm is a testament to the high standards of precision and accuracy that the entire team at Savage produces in our factories every day--and of course the rare talent and dedication Matt brings to the line every time.” 

Out of the fierce competition, Alwine secured an impressive second-place finish overall. While notching the best finish with a Production rifle in the history of the PRS Championship, Alwine finished 30 spots higher than anyone else using a production rifle. 

“I love the fact that I’m able to compete with the best in the world with a completely factory rifle,” said Alwine. “I look forward to another great season on Team Savage and continuing to push what’s possible with a production rifle.” 

Alwine, who shoots a Savage 110 Elite Precision, has produced dominant performances throughout the 2024 PRS season. Savage congratulates Alwine on a successful 2024 campaign and looks forward to his continued success in the competitive shooting circuit.

SK Customs Announces “Alexander the Great,” Introduces Conquerors Series

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – November 15, 2024 – SK Guns®, the Nation’s only series-driven, limited-edition manufacturer of custom firearms, is proud to announce its new “Alexander the Great” production. Introducing SK’s all-new “Conquerors Series,” this firearm is a limited-edition product of only 200 Colt 1911s in Royal Blue and chambered in .38 Super. 

Alexander the Great was a member of an ancient dynasty, born to King Philip II of Macedonia. This royal lineage paved the way for Alexander’s military success. He was tutored at a young age by the legendary erudite Aristotle, who inspired his interests in philosophy, medicine and science.  

Shortly after assuming his divine right of kingship, Alexander proceeded to battle. His victories led him to control the League of Corinth, launch the Pan-Hellenic project, take leadership over all Greeks in their conquest of Persia and eventually led to the overthrow of King Darius III of Persia. 

“Alexander’s conquest throughout Asia and Egypt established one of Earth’s largest empires and led to over twenty cities named after him or one of his closest followers,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. “Alexander the Great exemplifies the modern image of an ancient conqueror, and we could not think of a better figure in our world’s history to introduce this new series.” 

The left side of the slide depicts several scenes, including imagery of battle, Aristotle, Alexander the Great and his followers. The right side of the slide is adorned with Alexander the Great during battle, thrusting his spear in one hand and brandishing his shield in another. The entire pistol is highly polished in Royal blue with 24k gold plating. 

The Greek Key borders the sides of the slide, with some of the cities he conquered engraved with subtle shading. The forward top of the slide features Alexander the Great raising his sword in victory, with the rear top of the slide boasting the Vergina Sun Macedonian Star and 16 triangular rays. A floral scroll complements the entire firearm, and the grips have been gold-filled with the theme of the series showcasing a range of historic weaponry. 

This firearm can be purchased here. MSRP begins at $2800.
