The 141st NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits made a triumphant return to St. Louis this past weekend, and the NRA Publications staff combed the floor of America's Center to bring you the newest guns and gear for 2012.

1.) Two Classics from Remington: Versa Max Tactical & 50th Anniversary Model 700

3.) Norma USA Professional Hunter American Ammo
Launched in early 2012, the momentum continues for Norma USA's line of premium component ammunition. Long favored by European and African hunters, Americans now enjoy the same high quality of the Norma brass with the lighter weight and higher velocity American hunters seek.
