Every Gun Tells A Story. Here’s Shilen DGA-M’s Story.
Edward Michael Shilen, better known as Ed Shilen, was the founder of Shilen Rifles, Inc. He was born on January 27, 1931 and he passed away on December 7, 2015.
His DGA-M action is widely known for its exceptional quality. We at D4 Guns tip our hat to Shilen and hope he rests well. In celebration of Shilen’s accomplishments, we respectfully present the following excerpt from his obituary.
“In 1966, he moved his family to Irving, Texas, to build a new business based upon the love of his hobby of Competition Benchrest Shooting, and his pursuit of extreme accuracy in the Shooting Industry. The business grew and he moved Shilen Rifles, Inc. to Ennis, Texas in 1974. His love of competition and shooting led him to set numerous World Records, leading to an induction into the Benchrest Hall of Fame.”
