“.264 win. mag”

We believe there is no greater recognition of a company’s quest for excellence than having a product touted as “best in class”—the standard by which all others are measured. And so it is with great honor that American Hunter again presents its annual best-in-class awards to firearms and gear that clearly rise above the rest.

Editor in Chief J. Scott Olmsted this morning presented outdoor-industry leaders with American Hunter’s best-in-class awards.

The VLD may not have been designed as a hunting bullet, but it sure became one.

A little more than a decade ago, Nosler set out to combine the characteristics of its famous Partition with the accuracy of its Ballistic Tip offerings. The result became the AccuBond.

These factory-made cartridges may be under-the-radar, but they are certainly not short on punch or distance, making them excellent choices for game of all sizes.

As a hunting cartridge, the 6.5-284 Norma has been touted as one of the best for game animals up to the size of elk.

Trustworthy function and repeatable accuracy are things hunters depend on a rifle to have. Jeff Sipe and Montana Rifle Co. build them into the Extreme X2.

You’ll see the .300 Win. Mag. in the hands of military snipers and big game hunters alike, with good reason: It just plain works.
