Winchester Repeating Arms introduces the Wildcat, a striker-fired autoloading rimfire rifle that is a snap to clean because its lower receiver is easily removed from the upper with a push of a button; then hunters punch the bore by merely insert a cleaning rod through the rifle's rear access port, protecting the crown. Its 10-round rotary magazine ejects right into your hand with a push of an ambidextrous release tab—and it accepts aftermarket 10/22 magazines. Other features include an integral Picatinny top rail and another rail section along its underside, adjustable ghost-ring rear sight and button-rifled barrel. MSRP: $249.99; winchesterguns.com.

Tips & Tricks Learned from an Ongoing Study of Elk

The only thing I can confidently say about elk hunting is that education is ongoing. After decades of autumns spent in elk country, I have learned a few hard and fast guidelines to heighten my odds of success, even without standing over an elk at the end of the hunt. Elk hunting is changing from season to season. Every lesson you learn from a previous season of hunting has merit in overcoming the low odds already stacked against you.
