This week we're taking a closer look at the VR80, from Rock Island Armory Imports. A semi-automatic, gas-operated shotgun with AR-15 ergonomics, the gun comes decked out in Realtree Timber, meaning it can pull double-duty as both a home-defense shotgun, and a springtime turkey slayer. A Picatinny rail atop the receiver eases mounting of a red-dot, to further improve sighting. For more information, check out the video embedded above, hosted by Digital Associate Editor David Herman. MSRP: $699; armscor.com.

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?
