Kimber has announced the addition of four new Pro Carbon Rifles to its Open Range Line.

The new Xtreme Ascent rifle combines the company's dual-lug Model 1999 cast action with a featherweight contour, button-rifled fluted barrel and a durable synthetic stock to create a rugged rifle that’s light enough to comfortably carry in even the toughest backcountry hunts.

CZ-USA has introduced the 600 American rifle, a modern, American-style bolt-action centerfire rifle that’s equipped with a crafted Turkish walnut stock with a fleur-de-lis on the grip.

The XPR Renegade Long Range SR is a target/hunting hybrid rifle that combines a premium barrel, receiver, trigger and third-party target stock to deliver a rifle capable of half-inch or better groups from the bench, while remaining handy enough to carry in the field and heavy enough to shoot accurately from field positions.

For that special hunter in your life—especially if he or she dreams of hunting out west—here are a dozen items that will fit perfectly under this year’s Christmas tree.

Delivering superb accuracy and ruggedness at an attractive price point, Mauser’s new M18 Savanna features a savanna-colored polymer stock with soft grip inlays on at the pistol grip and fore-end and a threaded barrel for the addition of a suppressor or muzzle brake.  

We’ve come to expect solid reliability from the Model 70 rifle, and the Extreme TrueTimber VSX MB doesn’t disappoint. It’s built for the backcountry and loaded with modern features like a threaded muzzle, fluted barrel, Cerakote finish and quality composite stock.

The CZ 600 Trail proved to be a handy rifle that can down game in hard-to-find places, all without alerting everything with fur that you have moved into the woods. Its lighter chamberings make it easy for recoil-shy shooters to field and makes it ideal for target work, too.

Here are five top-notch backcountry rifles, all of which are lightweight and superbly designed.
