Hardcore waterfowlers will agree that Beretta shotguns are some of the most reliable, durable guns a hunter can own. The new A400 Xtreme Plus is perhaps the best of the bunch, and the newest version comes stacked with features that set it apart from the rest of the class.

Yamaha, celebrating 15 years of displays at the SHOT Show, introduces its Wolverine X2. The utility vehicle is equipped to conquer tight trails with compact design, nimble handling, four-wheel drive, tilt steering and—best of all—power steering.

Winchester introduces the Wildcat, a striker-fired autoloading rimfire rifle that is a snap to clean because its lower receiver is easily removed from the upper with a push of a button; then hunters punch the bore by merely insert a cleaning rod through the rifle's rear access port, protecting the crown.

Crimson Trace takes a big step from laser sights and lights to offer a full line of riflescopes in 2019. The CSA-2309 3X-9X-40mm Sport offers hunters a host of features such as zero-resettable turrets, 11 illumination settings and a first-focal-plane MOA-based holdover reticle at an attractive price.

For 2019, Federal has brought back the popular Barnes TSX, an all-copper hollow point that groups tightly at long range and delivers consistent, lethal expansion.

Ravin Crossbows introduces its new R26, the most compact and lightweight crossbow the company has ever created. Weighing in at just 6.5 pounds, the R26 is sending arrows off the rail at speeds of 400 fps.

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.

Using a blue polymer tip and a boattail configuration, Norma’s new BondStrike bullet gives the hunter a fantastic all-around ammo choice for game of all shapes and sizes. When the bullet’s lead core is chemically bonded to the copper jacket, expansion is slowed to allow for deep penetration.

The second cartridge to bear the Precision Rifle Cartridge moniker, Hornady’s new .300 PRC is a beltless non-rebated .30-caliber magnum rifle cartridge designed for extreme performance at long range.
