Sitting on your couch in an eggnog stupor, wrapping paper still draped off every chair in sight? Still procrastinating getting up, cleaning, up or any sort of behavior that could be remotely described as productive? Here's something to keep you further occupied in your sedentary state. Read on, to check out our top five #SundayGundays of 2025, as selected by you, our audience. We'll see you soon in 2026.

Rossi LWC

1. Rossi LWC

In our most popular #SundayGunday of last year, by almost a 2:1 margin, we took a look at the Rossi USA LWC, short for Lightweight Carbine. This compact single-shot is a great choice for backpackers, adventurers and younger hunters alike, with a simplistic appearance that belies its beefy selection of chamberings. Check out the full video by clicking here.

Savage 110 Trail Hunter

2. Savage Arms 110 Trail Hunter

In second position comes the Savage 110 Trail Hunter. A relatively new firearm from the storied family of Savage 110 actions, the 110 Trail Hunter was built to battle the elements, no matter the conditions. Learn more about it in our #SundayGunday, here.

Colt Viper

3. Colt Viper

The final slot of the podium belongs to a true fan favorite, the Colt Viper. This classic revolver is a  perfect choice for backcountry hunters looking for Magnum-level protection. Perfectly sized for carry both in and out of the woods, the Viper boasts a hefty .357 Magnum chambering so hunters can hike easy in bear country. Check it out now.

X-Bolt 2 Hunter

4. Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter

Number four on our list is a true workhorse of a hunting gun. The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter is a beautiful, walnut-stocked hunting rifle with the chops to reach out and touch game at distance. In fact, that is probably what the entire X-Bolt series is best known for. Learn more about it here.

Benelli Nova 3

5. Benelli Nova 3

Rounding out our list, the American Hunter team took to the field with the Benelli Nova 3, and conducted an on-site interview with Benelli USA VP of Marketing Tim Joseph. The brand-new Benelli Nova 3 pump-action shotgun boasts some significant upgrades from its Nova forbears, including the use of an M4 bolt face. Learn about the rest of these features in our #SundayGunday video, here.

Well, that's a wrap. We hope you all had a great Christmas and are gearing up for a most happy New Year. Join us for more #SundayGunday in 2026.
