I know most folks here know something about Ruby Ridge, ID and have a variety of opinions about the events which occurred there in 1992. Now and then something happens to bring those events back to light. Here's the latest:
H-S Precision is a maker of excellent rifle stocks. H-S stocks are not only sold as replacements but are also used by Savage and Remington on production rifles. H-S now has advertisements with an endorsement by one Lon Horiuchi, former FBI agent. For those who don't know, Horiuchi is the former FBI "sniper" who shot and killed Vicki Weaver at Ruby Ridge, allegedly while she was holding her 10 month old child. I have only anecdotal info on this. Opinions vary as to whether this shooting was justified or a blatant murder. Horiuchi was not prosecuted.
I have emailed H-S Precision to suggest, in no uncertain terms, they've made an error in picking a spokesperson who is reviled by a significant percentage of their intended customers. If you share these feelings, feel free to contact H-S Precision, Savage, and Remington to express your opinion.
