“ar”

The "big brother" to the company's SR-556, Ruger's 7.62/.308 Win. chambered SR-762 has been well-received by the AR industry at large.

The latest in a long line of innovative Hornady cartridge families, the 22 ARC joins its 6mm sibling as an incredibly attractive cartridge for the AR-platform rifle.

A newcomer to the AR-15 market in 2017 is Taurus, which rolled out its first-ever AR this spring at the 146th NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits in Atlanta.

So, you don’t have $2,000 to spend on a switch-barrel, piston-driven Ruger SR-556? No problem, as Ruger’s AR-556 is a direct-gas impingement carbine that offers most of the features AR buyers are looking for at a little more than a third of the price.

Due to the size of the .300 Win. Mag. cartridge, pairing with an AR-15 or AR-10 receiver is impossible, so NEMO (New Evolution Military Ordnance) Arms took to the drawing board to create a rifle that houses qualities of the AR platform, and did so around a magnum cartridge that’s been a favorite among long-range shooters and hunters.

Success of the AR platform with the consumer market led to the birth of a cartridge that utilizes a .30-cal. bullet and is designed for use with AR-15-style rifles and pistols, the .300 Blackout. SIG Sauer, for one, has met the growing .30-cal. demand, developing a line of rifles dedicated to .300 Blackout. Meet the SIGM400 Predator.

In reviewing "bargain" bolt-action rifles for American Rifleman, Managing Editor Joe Kurtenbach couldn’t help but think that, much like a stripped AR, these guns may make great foundations for personalized rifle builds. To test the theory, he purchased his own bargain-bin bolt gun and set a goal to build a precision hunting rifle.

If you’re looking for a dual-purpose rifle that can handle big game and predators near and far, and steel targets beyond 1,000 yards, the AR-style Mk3 in 6.5 Creedmoor from CMMG has you covered. Get the details in our latest #SundayGunday video.
