Pillager, MN –– Today marks the unleashing of a new legend as gun owners are invited to harness the untamed power of the Limited Edition Viking Desert Eagle! This project takes the iconic Desert Eagle pistol, a world renowned icon of raw strength and cinematic history; and infuses it with the indomitable spirit of the Norsemen. More than just a firearm, this is a masterpiece of power and artistry, meticulously crafted for the modern-day warrior.
The Viking Desert Eagle tells a story of heroic struggles through its unique, distressed, battle-worn finish. The slide and barrel are deeply engraved with intricate, flowing knot work reminiscent of ancient sagas carved in stone, creating a truly unique aesthetic. This masterpiece is built upon the powerful and unmistakable Desert Eagle platform, chambered in .50AE and ensuring the legendary performance expected from such a revered firearm. The experience is completed by custom grips featuring a beautifully engraved Viking long ship, invoking the spirit of exploration and conquest.
While its design is rooted in history, its performance is thoroughly modern. The pistol’s all-steel construction provides significant heft, which, combined with its unique gas-operated action, works to tame the powerful cartridge and dramatically reduce felt recoil for the shooter. This is further enhanced by an integrated muzzle brake for superior control. A Picatinny rail is also included, providing a ready platform for mounting preferred optics.
This limited edition firearm offers a rare opportunity to not just own a piece of engineering, but to wield a legend. The Viking Desert Eagle comes with one seven round magazine.
About Magnum Research
Founded in 1979, Magnum Research carved its niche in the firearms industry by specializing in powerful hunting handguns, starting with the iconic Desert Eagle pistol. This gas-operated behemoth became the first commercially successful autoloader chambered for a magnum cartridge, a title it proudly holds to this day. Available in calibers like .44 Magnum, .357 Magnum, .50 AE, and the mighty .429 DE, the Desert Eagle's imposing presence and raw firepower have transcended the gun world, earning it a starring role in countless movies, TV shows, and video games. Since then the aptly named Biggest Finest Revolver (BFR) was added, a super-accurate and reliable handgun chambered for a wide range of calibers, satisfying even the most demanding hunters. Other notable firearms include the Baby Eagle and MR1911 pistols, as well as the SwitchBolt, Straight Bolt, and Mountain Eagle rifles.
