When push comes to shove, there's only one way to keep your firearm in its best shape, and that's by giving it a full, comprehensive cleaning. The thing is, we're not always in a position to do that—and that goes doubly so for hunters, who often take their guns afield, where dirt, dust and foliage can't always be controlled. The folks at Hoppe's—who know a thing or two about keeping guns working—have devised an on-the-go solution that just be what you're looking for: Gun Medic.

Hoppe's is pitching Gun Medic as a do-it-all solution to cleaning and lubricating your firearm on the go. It won't be a comprehensive takedown but if you're away from your shop and your sidearm requires first aid, Gun Medic will be there.

Features:

• Cleanses and lubricates in one step
• Cleanser evaporates in 60 seconds
• Leaves an extremely thin layer of lube
• Lubricant utilizes the same technology used in jet propulsion engines
• Lube Temp tolerance to -65°F and 500°F
• Bio-Based formula
• Comes in two sizes: 4 oz and 10 oz

American Rifleman's Brian Sheetz learned a little more about Gun Medic at SHOT Show 2016's Media Day at the Range. You can get the inside scoop with the video embedded above.

5 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me Before My First Elk Hunt

I grew up hunting whitetails in the Midwest, and while I thought I was in “elk shape” on my first western hunt, I quickly learned that chasing elk at high elevation requires an entirely different level of fitness.

If you’re fortunate enough to fill your tag, the real work starts.
