undefinedThe NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits showcases guns and gear galore. As you can guess, there are countless new products here, but as someone who enjoys both hunting and fishing I have to highlight Buck Knives' new Splizzors.

A cross between scissors and pliers, C.J. Buck of Buck Knives was on the mark when he said this 8.3-ounce multi-function tool will come in handy for countless outdoor tasks. Splizzors feature edge-to-edge pressure 10 times that of normal scissors. And considering I'm going on a weekend fishing/turkey hunting combo trip next weekend, I was quick to note the tool's micro serrations will cut braided and high-performance fishing line with ease. Its unique design allows for efficient cutting, trimming, shearing, bending, crimping, and hook removal all with one exceptional tool—and it's made in the USA.

Review: Winchester 400 Legend

Winchester’s new 400 Legend is a streamlined, mid-sized straight-wall cartridge intended to fill the gap between its wildly popular 350 Legend and the notorious 450 Bushmaster. It is—in our opinion—a masterstroke of genius.
