For those hunters looking for a little more precision out of their rimfire, Browning has updated its classic, John-Browning-designed Semi-Auto 22, into the Semi-Auto 22 Challenge rifle. With a number of accuracy-improving features, the SA-22 Challenge is a great choice for squirrel shooters and precision plinkers alike. It boasts a 16 ¼-inch bull barrel, with a muzzle threaded to 12-28 TPI, fitted from the factory with a muzzle brake. An American walnut stock sports a raised comb, which pairs with the Picatinny scope base for proper head position when looking through optics. Finally, the action in the matte-blued receiver is fed, as with the original model, by a 10-round tubular magazine.

Hardware Review: Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 A.I. BE.S.T

The Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 A.I. BE.S.T. is, put simply, on the fast track to being considered a waterfowling marvel. Standing for Advanced Impact technology, the SBE 3 A.I. shoots its shot with  improved downrange results thanks to a very, very proprietary barrel technology that actually assists in energy retention for greater downrange velocity. Sounds crazy, right? That’s what I thought too; then I took the gun to Montana’s Bighorn River and had my mind blown.
