Team Ruger’s Steve Foster Excels at Mississippi State Steel Challenge Championship

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) proudly recognizes the outstanding performance of Team Ruger member Steve Foster at the Mississippi State Steel Challenge Championship held in Florence, MS.

Starting in the Rimfire Pistol Iron Sights (RFPI) division, Foster took second place with an impressive final score of 85.10 using his Mark IV™ Hunter pistol in 22 LR. He handled each stage with remarkable efficiency and precision. His ability to maintain rapid transitions and the reliability of his pistol were key to this outstanding finish.

Expanding on his achievements, in the Rimfire Rifle Open (RFRO) division, Foster secured third place with a final score of 58.48, using his customized Ruger® 10/22® Carbon Fiber rifle. His success across both divisions showcases his adaptability and high-level skill.

The 10/22 Carbon Fiber rifle features a stainless steel threaded barrel with a tensioned carbon fiber sleeve to reduce vibration and improve rigidity. The BX-Trigger® provides a light, crisp 2.5–3 lb. pull, along with a factory-installed one-piece aluminum scope rail for reliable, optic-ready mounting.
