Ascend Moher Fat Bike

Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s have unveiled an all-new lineup of Ascend Adventure Bikes, engineered to cover every surface and lifestyle. Debuted for the first time at Bass Pro Shops’ National Headquarters in Springfield, MO, Ascend Adventure Bikes are now available for purchase online at basspro.com or cabelas.com and in select Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s retail locations across the United States.

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?
