This week, we’re taking a closer look at the Uberti 1885 Courteney Stalking Rifle. With a design hearkening back to the days of the British explorers, the 1885 Courteney Stalking Rifle is a classic falling block, chambered in traditional .303 British. Beautiful Grade-A walnut furniture well complements the gun's deep bluing, while a quarter rib slotted to accept Weaver rings sits topside, for the easy mounting of a modern optic. For more information on this historical hunting rifle, check out the video embedded above, hosted by Executive Editor Jon Draper and Digital Associate Editor David Herman. MSRP: $1,689;uberti-usa.com.

A dogger’s goal while pushing deer is to drive the prey into a pocket formed by others in his gang, those hunters who are posted about a hundred yards apart along strategic locations up to a half-mile away from the dogger’s starting point. When everyone is in position, the dogger weaves his way through the woods into the wind and pocket formed by the other hunters. The approaching sound of the dogger snapping twigs and crunching leaves alerts unsuspecting deer.
Federal Ammunition was recently awarded contracts to supply two Canadian law enforcement organizations with rifle and shotgun ammunition for duty and training purposes. These agreements will supply the Department of National Defense (DND) with .300 Blackout duty and training rounds, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) with 12-gauge slugs and buckshot duty loads.
