Important logistics and legal note:

  • All weapons transfers must comply with federal, state, and local law. SWS handles FFL questions and transfers through its FFL process; winners will be required to complete any necessary FFL transfer and background checks before taking possession. Contact info on transfer and FFL inquiries is available from SWS. 
  • This rifle will only be transferred to someone legally able to own a suppressed rifle.
  • The winner must be present for the Day 2 announcement to claim the prize. If the winner cannot complete lawful transfer or is ineligible under applicable law, an alternate will be drawn.

The Premier Partner Program is your chance to power up your professional network and walk away with more than just leads!
