Pendleton Round-Up Champion Stetson Wright Wins Nosler M48 Custom Rifle

Bend, Ore –– Continuing its partnership with one of the longest standing rodeos in the world, Nosler Inc. returned to Oregon’s famous Pendleton Round-Up to award the 2021 All-Around Champion cowboy with an M48 NoslerCustom® rifle outfitted with a Leupold scope.

In a record-setting win, reigning PRCA World Champion, Stetson Wright, took home three titles at the Pendleton Round-Up, winning bull riding, saddle bronc riding and the All-Around honors. His winnings totaled $22,476, breaking rodeo legend Trevor Brazile’s Round-Up winnings record set in 2012. Wright also became the first cowboy to win three Pendleton titles in a single year since 1989. The award ceremony was held in front of a packed arena of rodeo fans where Wright received the official All-Around title and several big-ticket awards, including the annual Nosler championship rifle which features a custom floorplate engraved with the Pendleton Round-Up logo and “All-Around Champion” title to commemorate the cowboy’s record win.

“There are few cowboys that have achieved the level of Pro Rodeo success seen by Stetson Wright in such a short period of time” said John Nosler, President of Nosler Inc. “We’re proud to continue our partnership with the Pendleton Round-Up and present the championship rifle award to a young man so accomplished in his sport. Congratulations to Stetson and best of luck at the National Finals.”

Wright will receive an M48 NoslerCustom® rifle handcrafted by Nosler’s master gunsmiths in Bend, Oregon. Built on Nosler’s proprietary M48 action, the championship rifle comes chambered in the company’s popular 28 Nosler cartridge and features end-to-end premium components, including a hand-lapped match grade barrel, extra fancy walnut stock and a crisp, high-end trigger. The rifle is topped with a VX3i scope provided by fellow Oregon-based company Leupold and Stevens.
