This week, we're taking a look at the J.P. Sauer 101 Highland XTC. An ultralight hunting rifle from a storied name, the gun makes full use of carbon fiber to lessen weight, while maintaining strong structural integrity. A similarly ultralight trigger and cold-hammer-forged barrel contribute to the accuracy of this precision firearm. For more information on this backcountry-ready hunter, check out the video embedded above hosted by Digital Associate Editor David Herman. Store Price ~ $4500; sauer.de.
