"EMPYREAN ARMS"

Said to be the highest form of heaven, supposed by the ancients to contain the pure element of fire. Also means to be formed of pure fire or light.

You could tap into a large list of cool names and themes from Greek mythology for actions and rifles. How bad ass would Zeus look stamped into the side of an action!!

I like the Lakota idea, quite a bit.

My spin would be the company name Lakota Rifle Works.

Chief (magnum action?)

BoilerUP, that's great! In my moment of enlightenment, I overlooked this one.

I have Indian blood, and I have to say, that I am pissed that all we have for notoriety is Savage (Salvage) Arms. Savaaaj, in your best french accent, as Graham would say.

A few ideas for your contemplation:
Husker Ordinance Works (models: harvester short action, reaper long action)
Breadbasket Rifles
Tornado Ally Precision Rifles (models: F1 short action, F2 long action, F3 magnum long action, F4 XL action, F5 50 BMG.)
More to come later.

Legion Arms (or Ordnance)

Legatus - leader of 2 or 3 Legions
Tribunis - 2nd in command of a Legion
Preafectus - 3rd in command of a Legion

Centurion - professional officer
Legionary - heavy infantry
Primus - commanding Centurion
Praetorian (guard) - Bodyguards
Sagittari - archers
Scorpio - artillery piece
Venator - a hunter
Ballista - crossbow

Praetorian Actions/Arms: After the Praetorian Guard of ancient Rome. Developing a logo/brand is limitless - see roman banners.... Also, names for product lines is also limitless using names, battles, etc.

Thermopylae Actions/Arms: The power of a patriotic army defending native soil in 480 bc. The product line at the top of the list would be the "Leonidas", Warrior would have to be in there somewhere.

Tombstone Actions/Arms: Great logo/brand - outline of tombstone with RIP.... Product lines - undertaker, sleeper, graveyard, etc...

Finally, Carnivore Actions/Arms. Logo/brand - fang/claw. Limitless product lines....

Good Luck,

Tim

Overwatch Arms Incorprated and Tier 1 Precision are pretty sweet names also. I feel they sound more professionally based comapred to anything having to do with the 2nd amendment, such as patriot or grim reaper enuendos.

What about the "Kyle" Action. In recognition of the late Chris Kyle. You could name your different models based on words associated with him. The "Kyle Trident", the "Kyle Overwatch", the "Kyle Legend", etc. I'm sure there would be legal issues that would need to be sorted out and I would assume you would have to get permission from Taya Kyle, Chris' wife. You could also offer royalties to a Foundation of her choice or even directly to the Kyle family for each action sold. I think it would be a great tribute to an American Hero.

They are from all over the world and history

This is by far the best idea, I'm pissed I didn't think of it.

Javelin could be your standard 308/260/6.5
Pila could be a 338 Lapua and 300 WM's
Hasta could be your short barrel set up's

ALOT of potential here
 
#83
Revolution (or Revolutionary) Actions (or Arms)
The significance is in the double innuendo of “revolution.”
RA – Battalion (Short action)
RA – Brigade (Long action)
RA - Division (Magnum action).
Each could have a “Marine” prefix for Stainless Steel (i.e. Marine Division)

I joined just to post this.(longtime lurker) Scott is a good guy and they do business the right way. I'm blessed (and cursed) to live about 10 minutes from their shop and 5 minutes from my range.

Keep it simple and do American Arms or US Arms
Then do the models after the states names. Which could include color schemes to match common landscapes of the state. Rifle design could also be after the type of hunting common in that state. For example wyoming is know for pronghorn hunting so do a sporter style rifle who's color matches the open tundras. That also gives u 50 models to design

Harrier Arms. Actions named after regional native raptors:

American Kestrel
Cooper's Hawk
Prairie Falcon

I feel a strong connection to products I associate directly with a place.

Might as well throw in my 2 cents...seeing as they are remington Style Short actions..how about :

reAct (as in REmington ACTion) or reAct Ordenance etc...

then have rifle names like the reAct Patriot, or the reAct confederate..

Or expand the comopany name to be "Reaction Gunworks"...same rifle names etc
