Winchester has introduced a new, no-nonsense varmint and predator ammo line at SHOT Show 2013.

Browning, whose ammunition line saw the light of day in 2016, has expanded the line for 2017 to include a varmint/predator specific offering: the Browning BXV Predator & Varmint ammunition.

Browning's ammunition line hasn't been around long, and is still quietly expanding—but what we've seen so far has been quality stuff. The company's latest addition to its centerfire family is BXV, a load developed specifically with varmints and predators in mind. Here are four things you need to know.

What does it mean when a gun is deemed a "women's rifle?" For some it simply means cutting down the length and painting it pink, but Savage's new Lady Hunter rifle challenges that tendency, offering performance and durability in an attractive, lightweight package.

Montana Rifle Company is so passionate about the hunting industry that it rolled out a new cabin-style booth.

Federal Ammunition has announced plans to offer consumers 40- and 50-count bulk packs of its American Eagle Varmint & Predator loads this spring. Shipments of the new bulk packs are being delivered to dealers now, and will be ready for high-volume varmint shooting this spring and summer.

The .204 Ruger occupies the space between the .22 centerfires and the .17s, giving fantastic results on varmints and predators alike without the wind deflection issues of the .17s and less recoil than the .22 centerfires.
