This is really incredible.

H-S Precision is sells hunting and tactical rifles. Here is a scan from the back cover of their Catalog. Note who did the write-up (circled in yellow):

For the three of you who don't know who Lon Horiuchi is, he's the FBI sniper of Ruby Ridge infamy who murdered Vicki Weaver in cold blood while she was holding her baby.

I'm not sure what H-S was thinking when they decided to hire this despicable thug as a spokesperson, but they are in dire need of remedial correction for this deplorable business decision. No gun decent gun owner/buyer should give them a single dime of their business. For those wishing to contact them, here's the info:

If you own any Winchester or Remington synthetics you may already have one since they are an OEM.

Thanks...that’s the best laugh I’ve had today.

"I will also do everything legally and proper in my power to harm their business."

Doesn't matter, they have their government contract now. They'll be merely stuff your dollars in their ears to drown out the sound of your objections.

High Standard is basically a junk gun company.

I forgot he was in The Patriot. I’m so used to seeing him as an Irish thug in The Brotherhood. Too bad the show never caught on. Five more episodes and it’s history. Of course it might have helped if Showtime had promoted it.

Get Real!

Incredible is an understatement. Unless these people are on the fast track to supply the Fuhrers Civil Defense Force this has got to be a colossal mistake.

The following links lead directly to lists of the companies who distribute their products, You many want to contact them also.

Hunting Distributors

International Distributors

Stock Distributors

Tactical Distributors

And let’s not forget that he shot the dog too. I was just thinking of that poor boy a couple of days ago and the horror of seeing your dog shot on your own property.

[mcshot]

I understand he was also at Waco and busy with folks trying to escape the fire - based on empty casings at his hide.

[skeeter]

I think the guy who shot the dog (and the boy, in the back) was shot by Kevin Harris on the first day.

[editor-surveyor]

"To be fair, we don't know for certain that he murdered Vicki Weaver."

You are unaware of Horiuchi's MOS at the FBI? He was a sniper, nothing more or less. He loved to kill.

Ping to something TOTALLY outrageous!!!

[mcshot]

Not the same company and High Standard made excellent stuff including some superb target and utility .22 pistols and revolvers.

[yarddog]

That is the first thing I thought of too. Government contract.

[dcwusmc]

Just emailed them with this:

Do you mean to say that you’ve hired the murderer of Vickie Weaver as your spokesmouth? What are your marketing people smoking??? I guess you think that the shooting community (outside the FBI and the BATFags and all) won’t remember Ruby Ridge, right? We do remember and unless you think you can survive on government contracts alone, a VERY quick about-face is in order, as well as a MAJOR-LEAGUE apology to every non-government shooter in the country. Word gets out fast with this modern Internet thingie and I PROMISE to do my part to get it to every shooter I know and have them pass it along.

(Oh, and could you please forward about two pounds of the substance marketing smokes? I could sell it and retire a VERY rich man!)

Thanks for the contact link, I wrote:

What a remarkably ignorant and disgusting decision your company has made with Lon Horiuchi endorsing your firearms.

This is the same man, who as a goverment sniper, shot a woman in the face while she was holding a baby.

Either he missed his intended shot which proves him to be incompetent or he made his shot which proves him to be a foul and disgusting example of human trash.

As a freedom loving Second Amendmen supporter I would never consider any product made by your company simply based on your company’s poor decision in marketing.

I hope you reconsider your decision publicly.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Perfect

[Squantos]

So Lon the professional sniper who claims to know rifles inside and out and recommends the H&S is their spokesman ?

Wow what kind of dumb ass company that claims accuracy and perfection with regards to their product would use a so called sniper that MISSED and killed a innocent woman ? Lon Horiuchi personifies inept ability and irresponsibility and lying under oath and we’re supposed to believe his recommendation of a product ?????......ROTFLMAO !!!

Yep that marketing director for H&S is a real master of his trade. If H&S has as much quality control for their products as they do their marketing then I have bought my last REMINGTON RIFLE that uses the H&S stock !

Friggin bunch of rocket scientist’s !......LMAO !

Doom on em for allowing this poser any form of alleged credibility.

I WILL be contacting my units buyers in the AM and cancel any pending orders from Remington or H&S.

PING-a-roonie!

Proposal for a new company slogan: “H-S Precision, when you absolutely, positively need to murder women and children.”

This move is utterly and absolutely unconscionable, and should result in a boycott of this sick, sick company. Moreover, anyone doing business with these malignant ghouls should be publicly proclaimed as pariahs.
