This week, we're taking a look at the Model 460XVR, from Smith & Wesson. A big-bore revolver designed for the serious handgun hunter, the 460XVR is chambered in .460 S&W Magnum, but can also handle .45 Colt, and .454 Casull, making it quite a versatile option. As far as optics go, the pistol not only sports a fiber optic front sight and rear bracket, but boasts an integral scope base topside. For more information on this big-game hunter's handgun, check out the video embedded above, hosted by Digital Associate Editor, David Herman.

Behind the Bullet: The .308 Norma Magnum

Norma’s ballistician Nils Kvale saw the wisdom of having the velocity and horsepower of the .300 H&H Magnum, but in a shorter, more affordable receiver, and used the H&H case to develop his .358 Norma Magnum in 1959 as well as the .308 Norma Magnum one year later. The .308 Norma Magnum closely resembles the wildcat .30-338 cartridge, though the shoulder of the former is located a bit more toward the base than that of the .308 Norma Magnum. Intrigued? Read on about this often unfairly overlooked hunting classic.
