BROOKSVILLE, Fla.--()--Longtime leaders in US firearms, Adam Arms, are donating Sniper Rifles and Ammunition to Ukraine, in conjunction with six other firearms manufacturers. The gun manufacturers will donate 10 state-of-the-art, semi-automatic sniper rifle systems (built on Adams Arms 21st-century piston platform) along with ammunition, to be delivered to the Ukraine Ministry of Defence. (The rifles, optics and ammunition are valued at more than $80,000.)

-- The rifles will be assembled at and shipped from Adams Arms at their Brooksville, FL, plant on May 5th, 2022.

The six manufacturers working with Adams Arms contributing parts for the rifles are:

1. Leupold & Stevens, a Beaverton, OR, manufacturer who is supplying the scopes/optics and mounts.

“We have a strong belief in freedom and self-determination and are honored to contribute further to Ukraine and its determination to defend their ground,” says Bruce Pettet, CEO of Leupold & Stevens, a world leader in sporting optics.

2. PROOF Research, a Columbia Falls, MT, manufacturer who is donating the barrels.

“We are dedicated to freedom and are proud to be able to contribute to its defense in Ukraine,” says Kelly Streiff, VP Sales & Marketing, PROOF Research, a leader in application of composite technologies.

Adams Arms President Jason East adds, “It goes beyond altruism or corporate responsibility. As Americans, we cannot allow the kind of aggression Russia has brought forth in Ukraine.
