If you've been paying attention to AmericanHunter.org of late, you'll have heard that we announced the Savage Arms A17 would receive our Golden Bullseye Award for "Rifle of the Year" at the impending 2016 NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits in Louisville. With all of that in mind, it should come as no surprise that, for 2016, Savage announced a line expansion. In this case, I'm talking about the new A17 Sporter and A17 Target models. Here are five things you need to know.

There's no denying that the Savage A17 has been popular since its release last year. So it's no surprise that we're starting to see after-market accessories for the little .17 HMR semi-auto. First among them is the new 25-round magazine from Butler Creek.

The 145th NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits have come and gone. Official estimates say more than 80,000 NRA members packed the Kentucky Exposition Center over the weekend, and we can't thank y'all enough. Here's a quick roundup of some of the coverage the AmericanHunter.org team produced during the show.

Everybody needs a good .22. The Savage Arms A22 .22 LR could be yours.

We've reached the eve of the 146th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits, and new product announcements have already started to drop. Among the first bits of news to arrive is the launch of the new Engage riflescope and binocular line from the trusted folks over at Bushnell.

Forge, Nitro and Prime riflescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes and laser rangefinders usher in a new era in Bushnell sport optics.

From the entry-level Prime to the mid-priced Nitro to the top-shelf Forge, each new line delivers revamped features, benefits and performance for which Bushnell is famous.

Butler Creek has begun shipping the company's new Featherlight sling to retail partners, and has made it available for purchase on the company's website.

Butler Creek has announced a new lightweight Bino pack. Termed the Featherlight Bino Caddy, it is made of the same, breathable, closed-cell foam as the company's Featherlight sling.
