Sales Slogans (and a question about such)

[Spitpatch]

Gun industry sales slogans. Some were/are pretty cool. Others not so much. Which ones stuck with you, fell flat or got a belly laugh?

...and riddle me this: Which custom gunmaker nearly trademarked the phrase, "Your Rifle is Ready" (when notifying the customer in writing such was the case).

Rigby? Weatherby? Dakota? (Honestly I don't know). I do remember an advertisement displaying a very formally embossed courtesy card with that message..

"Taurus, where hope dies" always got a hoot out of me.

I believe it was Rigby that used "your rifle is ready". Many years ago while in London I was able to visit their showroom. What an experience, the smell of leather and gun oil mixed in with steel and money.

Good luck on your guesses...but avoid the misfires.

[JRuby]

My guess for "Your rifle is ready" is Griffin and Howe. If I ever win the lottery they will be transffering a few rifles to me - tell then I can only day dream about thier rifles.

"1972: Winchester the way you want it."

"The Remington Automatic Rifle. Loads itself. Big enough for the biggest game."

"Winchester's new .264 Magnum. The Westerner. It makes a helluva noise and packs a helluva wallop!"

"Make mine a Winchester!"

"Marlin. America's Largest Riflemaker since 1870."

It's all good, I like Kimber guns just not the company.

If it were perfect, I'd be able hit the mag release reliably.

Sounds like a "you" problem

Not anymore, thanks to aftermarket parts.

But seriously, that's the only handgun that I've had to modify the mag release on, except for my Scorpion, which, if you know, you know. So I feel like it's probably a Glock problem.

Certainly an essential operation if one's marksmanship skills compare to that of Portland Police.

 

[Jay Walk]

Glock, because everybody has one.

Kimber, triggering Smith guys daily.

I kind of felt left out when this one emerged:
