Savage Announces New Episode of Savage Journeys: Making It Rain Outdoors

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – June 28, 2024 – Savage Arms® announces the release of its newest Savage Journeys episode: Making it Rain Outdoors. This story follows Savage Arms ambassadors Rain and Jason Williams and the generational tradition of hunting and fishing that Rain Williams was born into and is sharing with her family. The Williams hope to instill in their children the same passion for the outdoors and inspire other families to connect with nature to ensure the legacy continues for future generations.

Viewers can watch as Rain tells the story of her father and grandfather instilling a love for the outdoors in her from a young age, and how she came to introduce her husband Jason to hunting and fishing when they began dating. Now parents of three, viewers witness them discuss combining parenthood with the outdoors and the balance that takes. The Williams also describe how their brand, Rain Outdoors, came to be and the mission of their platform.

“My husband was passionate about promoting where he was from in the city so he knew all about social media. He would take pictures of me outside hunting and fishing and the brand started building from there,” said Rain Williams. “For a long time, I knew that I wanted to get young people involved, especially young women. Hearing from parents who tell me that their daughters decided to start hunting or fishing because of me is what inspires me to keep making content and building Rain Outdoors.”

As important as creating and sharing content is to Rain and Jason, they stand firm in the idea that the most important job they can do in growing the outdoor community is to instill those values in their children. The Williams work hard to teach their sons that hunting and fishing is more for the harvest than anything else, showing them every step of the process from the catch or kill to a home-cooked meal.

“Rain’s story is important to tell because it highlights the power of family traditions and the vital role of teaching the next generation to cherish our outdoor heritage,” said Kristin Boeshart, Digital Marketing Manager at Savage Arms. “Rain and Jason share their joy for the outdoors and their family every day on their pages.”

The Williams continue to pursue their goals, with a bright vision for the future of Rain Outdoors. Having recently released her first children’s outdoor coloring and activity book, Rain Outdoors Into the Wild, Rain hopes to spark children around the country’s interest in the outdoors, hunting and fishing. Rain and Jason’s adventures are documented on their Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube.

“We’re trying to build an outdoors legacy that will last beyond our lives and this is just the beginning of that journey,” said Rain Williams.

The Green Way Outdoors Tours Savage Arms® Factory

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – June 21, 2024 – Savage Arms®, an iconic firearm manufacturer, hosted The Green Way Outdoors of the HISTORY® Channel for an exclusive tour of its historic firearms manufacturing facility. The Green Way Outdoors is a one-of-a-kind program reaching new audiences and introducing the hunting and shooting industry via the HISTORY® channel and a large digital presence.

“It was a pleasure having The Green Way Outdoors in our factory because they are so passionate about the outdoors and the education of the younger generation,” said Chris Bezzina, President and CEO of Savage Arms. “Kyle and Ryan had a very genuine curiosity about our process and what makes Savage Arms the standard for American firearms manufacturing, and we were more than happy to take them through our process step by step.”

Chris Bezzina and Wayne Kratochvil, Sr. Materials Supervisor, gave Green and Parks the opportunity to walk the factory floor and build their very own Savage 110 Ultralite Elite chambered in .308 Win, as well as a 110 KLYM in 300 Win Mag.

“It was such an interesting experience making my own gun and learning the process,” said Kyle Green, host and executive producer of The Green Way Outdoors. “What stood out to me the most was how every single step in the process double-checks the step prior. This is just one example of why the Savage quality is so incredible”

Bezzina and Kratochvil explained the idea behind the building of the 110 Ultralite platform, and what makes this rifle unique. The Savage 110 Ultralite first debuted in 2020, while its most recent iteration – the 110 Ultralite Elite – became available in early 2024.

“The Savage team made us feel right at home and I could tell they are proud of what they do,” said Ryan Parks, producer of the HISTORY® Channel program. “American manufacturing is not dead. I loved learning about the interesting history of Savage and its commitment to keeping jobs here.”

Savage Arms® AccuCan™ Suppressors Seeing Major Success with Key Distributors

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – June 20, 2024 Savage Arms continues to see growth and scale with the AccuCan line of suppressors that debuted at the close of 2023. The brand announces today that multi-caliber options are available through distributors Sport South, RSR, Lipseys, Chattanooga Shooters Supply, Davidson’s and Bill Hicks. This widespread availability helps these lightweight, field-serviceable suppressors reach a wide new customer base when ATF approval speed is at an all-time high.  

The AccuCan line has seen great traction and adoption by hunters and shooters alike. Individual models AC338, AC30 and AC22 create separation in a busy market. Savage developed these suppressors with difference-making features around usability in the field, durability and ruggedness. AccuCan Suppressors also greatly reduce other disturbances such as flash and recoil to further improve the shooting experience.

“Getting well-known distributors to buy in and carry our line has been a huge reason for the AccuCan line’s early success,” said Rob Gates, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Savage. “We were proud of the products we brought to market. We didn’t just develop a ‘me too’ suppressor line. But without the support of key customers, sales would be an uphill battle. Excellent availability combined with growing consumer demand for suppressors and reductions in ATF approval time has created a hot market for suppressors in general. The AccuCan line is quickly becoming a top choice for hunters and shooters and we are thrilled the Savage Arms brand is excelling in another category in the hunting, shooting and outdoor space.”

The AccuCan Difference

Each individual AccuCan offering is feature-rich and designed to specific criteria that allow them to go head-to-head with existing suppressors in their product category. But there are a few distinct qualities across the entire AccuCan line that represent the innovation driving demand right now.

Today’s hunters and shooters are mobile, so suppressors can’t be a burden in the weight category. AccuCan offerings from the AC338 down to the AC22 are some of the lightest suppressors available today. They’re also rugged and boast unmatched strength-to-weight ratios.

AccuCans feature a MonoKore design that increases accuracy for seasoned and novice shooters alike. This is achieved by the fact that these suppressors reduce flash and recoil—as well as sound. After all, modern suppressors should do more than reduce a little noise.

Suppressors are now used frequently and owners also need and want to be self-reliant. That’s why each AccuCan is field-serviceable with an easy-to-disassemble/reassemble three-piece design. So whether shooters are at home on the bench or in the field on a hunt, adjustments can be done swiftly without the need for specialized tools or equipment.
