Some of the largest game in North America resides in the harshest environments. Think brown bears in Alaska, moose in northern Canada, elk on a mountain in Wyoming. Hunting guides, especially those who specialize in dangerous game, often carry a rifle in case they need to back up their client’s shot or stop a charge. The Ruger Guide Gun is meant to serve in this role, and its design, coupled with appropriate chamberings, makes the rifle a heavy hitter for any hunter seeking large game from bears and moose to lions and buffalo. Learn more about it in the video embedded above, hosted by Executive Editor Adam Heggenstaller.
