Why You Should Shoot a 28-Gauge

The 28-gauge is an easy-swinging machine that hits that sweet spot for busting birds. Naysayers don't know what they're missing.

ARTV: Ruger Red Label

In 1977 Ruger bucked the trend in a hunting market dominated by pump and semi-auto shotguns, introducing a new American-made over/under, the Red Label. The Red Label became a cult favorite among shotgunners until it faded from the Ruger line.

Go West for Early Birds and Lots of ’Em

They say the early bird gets the worm, but the early hunter gets the bird. Lots of birds, especially out West where seasons open as early as late August.

Hardware: Ruger Red Label

Still made at Ruger's factory in New Hampshire, the revamped Red Label costs less than the original version.

Browning Citori 725 Feather

Browning sold its 1 millionth Citori in 2010. The 725 Feather reduces weight via its alloy receiver and thin-walled barrels.

Return of the Red Label

Ruger recently announced the return of its Red Label shotgun, and Sheriff Jim Wilson was one of the first people to have the opportunity for a hands-on evaluation.

Western Bird Bonanza

You, your friends and dogs can park the truck, lace up your boots and walk an upland hunter's dream. Just go west.

Lanber Grey Stone Light

The Lanber Grey Stone is about the nicest bird gun you’ve never heard of—light to carry, easy on your pocketbook and hard on the birds.
