COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.-- To better prepare America's shooting athletes for competition in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Investment Arms of Fort Collins, Colorado has created an extraordinary piece of art from a run of limited edition Remington 1100 shotguns from which USA Shooting athletes will receive a percent of sales.
This fine Remington collectable, created to tell the story of USA Shooting athletes in "Olympic Gold", is constructed from special "O" grade wood, uniquely serial numbered, engraved with the athletes of the USA Shooting Team in competition, and only the second gun in history to be put on the market with the Olympic rings licensed upon it. Each piece also comes with a custom case, certificate of authenticity, and a personalized plaque signed by Robert Mitchell, the CEO of the USA Shooting Team. Only 250 of these one-of-a-kind shotguns will be available for purchase, and the sales of this limited edition Remington 1100 shotgun will bring over $30,000 to the team if it sells out. Retail price is $3795.00, and Investment Arms has finance plans for all potential purchasers.
