This week, we're taking a look at the Venture II from Thompson/Center—the company's flagship bolt-action hunting rifle. With a crisp, user-adjustable trigger and a 5R-rifled, threaded barrel, the Venture II is sure to put a clean shot on target when it counts. To back this up, Thompson/Center even puts a 100-yard MOA guarantee on these rifles, a guarantee which our test model well outshot. For more on this great hunting gun, chambered in nine short- and long-action offerings, check out the video above.

Field Tested: Federal Heavyweight TSS

Last year, I had the pleasure of travelling to the Yucatan peninsula in search of ocellated turkey.

Review: Winchester 400 Legend

Winchester’s new 400 Legend is a streamlined, mid-sized straight-wall cartridge intended to fill the gap between its wildly popular 350 Legend and the notorious 450 Bushmaster. It is—in our opinion—a masterstroke of genius.
