This one's a little outside our usual ballpark, but we couldn't resist. At the 144th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Nashville, American Rifleman's Mark Keefe had a chance to get his hands on General George S. Patton's M1 Garand, which was made for him in 1944 and will appear on the next season of Gun Gurus on Outdoor Channel. As unique a piece of American history as you're like to find, the rifle's a beauty—and we can't wait to hear the rest of its story. Get a sneak peek with the video embedded here.

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.
