Blaser Group adds to its carbon series with the introduction of the Blaser R8 Ultimate Carbon bolt-action rifle.

Like its predecessor, the R8 utilizes a straight-pull action that doesn’t require lifting and rotating the bolt.

This exciting addition to the R8 line stands out as a true workhorse that is purpose built for hunting in extreme conditions.

Aimpoint’s Sportsman Shooting Center (SSC)—the United States’ first indoor hunting shooting center—opened Sept. 21, 2013 at Grapevine, Texas. SSC provides the opportunity for shooters to practice on dynamic hunting scenarios inside an air-conditioned, live-fire cinema range using their own rifles and ammunition.

Blaser has announced a new chambering for its R8 modular rifle—6.5 PRC. The R8's straight-pull bolt-action platform offers hunters a vast number of configurations to meet their needs in the field.

What's it take to harvest an eland? Here's a look at what Ron Spomer utilized on his most recent trip to Africa.

The Victory V8 1X-8X-30mm riflescope, lauded as the biggest of the super-zooms, offers a wide field of view (FOV); superior image quality and target resolution; 8X magnification; a 10mm exit pupil at 1X for quick target acquisition and precise shots through small openings or at close range; and 92 percent light transmission for bright, high-contrast images.

Every big-game hunt is a great opportunity, but not every hunt will turn out as you hope, because getting lucky in the draw is just the first hurdle.
