Nosler M48 Rifle Awarded to Rodeo All-Around Champ Trevor Brazile

Bend, OR – Continuing its partnership with one of the 10 largest rodeos in the world, Nosler Inc. returned to the Pendleton Round-Up for a third consecutive year to award the 2019 All-Around Grand Champion cowboy with a custom Nosler M48 Long Range Rifle.

Trevor Brazile, 24-time PRCA World Champion and No. 1-ranked steer roper in the circuit, captured the Pendleton Round-Up’s All-Around title for the seventh time, earning him an induction into the legendary rodeo’s Hall of Fame. Brazile received the coveted Let’er Buck Trophy alongside the Nosler championship rifle which featured a custom floorplate engraved with the Pendleton Round-Up logo and “All-Around Champion” title to commemorate the cowboy’s record win.

“The Pendleton Round-Up is truly one of the most iconic rodeos in the world” said Jeff Sipe, Rifle Division Manager at Nosler. “It’s always a great honor to contribute to our home state rodeo with the championship rifle award and to play a part in preserving the rich Western heritage that is so meaningful to sportsmen and women around the country. Congratulations to Trevor Brazile, a true legend in the sport. This is his second Nosler rifle and we’re sure he’ll put it to good use this hunting season.”

Selected to represent Nosler in the awards arena this year was the Hadden Family, owners of Pendleton’s local Garners Sporting Goods for the past 44 years. The family presented the winning cowboy with a custom Nosler M48 Long Range Rifle chambered in 300 Win Mag, featuring Nosler’s-own rugged M48 action, a 24” Shilen match grade barrel threaded for a muzzle brake or suppressor, Manners carbon fiber stock and crisp, single stage Timney trigger. All metalwork on the championship rifle was cerakoted bronze to provide exceptional weather resistance and durability over a lifetime of hard use. The rifle came topped with a VX3i scope donated by fellow Oregon-based company, Leupold & Stevens.

Brazile also claimed the Pendleton Round-Up’s All-Around Champion title the previous year, winning a Nosler M48 Heritage Rifle chambered in the popular 28 Nosler cartridge.
