This week we're taking a closer look at the Deerhunter .50-caliber muzzleloader from Traditions Firearms. A classic design with some modern twists, the Deerhunter is available as either a percussion sidelock, or the flintlock variant we're showcasing here today. Fully adjustable Williams Fiber-Optic Metal Sights and a rugged synthetic stock make this an accurate and reliable, yet still quite primitive hunting gun. For more information on this stalwart muzzleloader, check out the video embedded above, hosted by Digital Associate Editor David Herman. MSRP: $329; traditionsfirearms.com.

#SundayGunday: Benelli Lupo HPR

This week on #SundayGunday, we test-fire the Lupo HPR, a bolt-action rifle from Benelli with a host of proprietary, high-performance features that drop it in the gap between long-range competition rig and custom hunting rig. We like this gun, not least because it shoots well. The fact is its lines, its ergonomics … everything about this rifle begs a hunter looking for something special to pick it up and carry it afield. Learn more about it in this exclusive video.
