SHOT Show's 10 Best Hunting Guns

After fondling more than our share of new deer slayers and duck killers at the 2011 SHOT Show, we've picked the ten best hunting guns for this calendar year.

Ithaca Model 37

The all-American made Model 37 remains true to one of this country’s favorite pump guns, except today’s 37 is available in 12-, 20- and 28-gauge.

The Browning A5 Shotgun

The features include a kinematic action that is inertia operated, unlike your papa's recoil-operated A5.

Machine Guns of World War I

The famous Colt "Potato Digger" machine gun is on display in the collectors' aisles.

Hardware: Browning A5 Stalker

In 2012, after Benelli’s patent on its inertia action expired, Browning seized opportunity with a new-aged Auto-5, simply called the A5. Today the A5 line includes Mossy Oak bedecked guns and the shoot-all shown above, the new 31/2-inch Stalker, a semi-auto that looks and feels much like the old but that outperforms it in every way.

Field Test: Browning's Ammunition Line

The Browning name is a staple in the firearms community; it’s impossible to deny that John Moses Browning had an incredible effect on the development of many of our iconic designs. The Browning label—and its associated BuckMark logo—has long stood for dependability and reliability, and those traits have extended into the new line of Browning ammunition.

An Ode to the Browning BAR

There is a definite following for the Browning Automatic Rifle, and for a good reason: In the world of autoloading rifles, it stands a head above the rest.

10 Things You Didn't Know About Browning

Few companies have had as profound an impact on the American hunting and shooting industry as Browning—in no small part thanks to genius of its famous founder. Here are 10 things you might not have known about the company's history.

Behind the Bullet: .45 ACP

In spite of the numerous developments in handgun cartridge technology over the last century, it seems that the John Browning designed .45 ACP is as valid and as ever, and we'd bet that assessment will be valid in another 100 years.

Top 5 American-Made Hunting Rifles
