Henry has unveiled a new product line, which currently encompasses four new rifles and a lever-action shotgun. The X Model Series consists of: the Big Boy platform, chambered in .44 Mag./.44 Spl., .357 Mag./.38 Spl., and .45 Colt; a lever action .410-bore shotgun; and another rifle chambered in .45-70 Gov't. All five models sport durable and lightweight synthetic furniture, with a solid-rubber recoil pad on the pistol-gripped buttstock. Picatinny and M-Lok accessory slots dot the forend, along with integrated sling swivel studs for the easy attachment of a sling. X Model receivers are blued with a side-loading gate to feed the removable tube magazine, and muzzles are threaded with a 5/8X24 thread pitch, to accommodate a suppressor or other muzzle device. The shotgun's smooth-bore barrel, meanwhile, is threaded internally for a removable invector-style choke. While X Model receivers are drilled and tapped for an optics mount, should an optic not be desired, contrasting fiber-optic sights come standard on all models except the shotgun, which uses a solitary fiber-optic front sight.

Have a big rifle or slug gun that none of your soft cases seem to fit? Don’t let your firearms get banged up. Take a look at Allen’s Tejon or Bruiser Whitetail 2.0 cases!
Marlin has introduced the first ever lever-action rifle chambered in 10mm Auto. The Marlin Trapper Series Model 1894 in 10mm Auto is launching in conjunction with Hornady Manufacturing Company’s new LeveRevolution 10mm Auto ammunition.
While its most recognizable gun remains the ever-futuristic-looking AUG tactical bullpup first made in 1977 and still used by militaries worldwide, Steyr also makes handguns and hunting rifles. Its Pro Hunter III SX rifle is an all-around hunting rifle and a great example of Steyr quality, a trait much easier felt than described. I’ll try it anyway.
One of the world’s most productive copper mines is also one of Arizona’s most reliable sources of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. The bighorns are not shy about entering the Freeport McMoRan open-pit mining operation—near Morenci, Ariz.—but predators are. As a result, there’s no natural check on sheep population growth.
