“30-30”

The .30-06 has also proven itself to be very accurate in many different rifles, and is chambered by the major riflemakers in everything under the deer hunting sun.

The 1895SBL, a serious big-bore lever-action gun that can take it as well as dish it out, is destined to become another Marlin 1895 legend.

This year in honor of the 200th anniversary of Oliver F. Winchester’s birth, Browning/WRAC has produced a commemorative Model 94.

The new VOR-TX ammo will continue to carry Barnes' banner as the gold standard for quality, accuracy and terminal performance.

The BFR is a great choice for someone wanting the most power in a portable package at a reasonable price.

I read somewhere that today’s premium bullets represent the greatest advance in big game hunting technology since the widespread use of the optical sight, and I agree 100 percent. Many of the myths that we face today are the product of outdated truth.

Every once in a while I get quizzed as to what rifle to bring on a hunter’s first pronghorn hunt. Most of the time I ask in return what the hunter already has.

The Maybe it is a Myth Statement: “More deer have been taken with the .30-30 Winchester cartridge than any other.”

I’m just guessing, mind you, but I believe the first American deer rifle was the Model 94 Winchester. To be sure, a lot of deer fell to Model 73s, Marlins, Trapdoor Springfields and flintlocks, but the first sporting deer rifle was the 94. Since that iconic rifle there have been a whole lot more.
