“barrel”

Henry Repeating Arms has long turned out fine-shooting and reliable lever-action rifles to help us find the cowboy in us all.

The Bergara B-14 Wilderness Ridge sports a carbon-fiber barrel, a lightweight synthetic stock and a fluted bolt, all working in tandem to create a rifle that is as lightweight as it is precise.

Bergara combines a nimble, sporter-style stock with a precision, No. 5 contour barrel in the B-14 Ridge. Like all B-14 rifles, which are made at the Bergara factory in Spain, the action in the Ridge has a two-lug bolt with a sliding-plate extractor and a coned nose for smooth feeding.

For 2023, Ruger introduces its American rifle with Go Wild Camo in 7mm PRC, featuring a 24-inch barrel, a Power Bedding system and a lightweight synthetic stock.

With a 4-inch barrel, a stainless or black slide, a 1911 grip angle and a slim metal magazine, this double-stack, striker-fired 9mm retains the narrow profile of its single-stack, sub-compact cousin.

Featuring a shortened barrel, reduced-length magazine tube and a lightweight carbon-fiber stepped rib, the new Montefeltro Ultra Light weighs 6.3 pounds for the 12-gauge model and 5.3 pounds for the 20-gauge model.

To celebrate its 100th anniversary, Stoeger introduces its M3000 Signature semi-automatic shotgun, featuring an upgraded wood stock, a nickel-plated engraved receiver, paired with a handsome glossed blued barrel.

For 2023, Taurus introduces its Raging Hunter .460 S&W Magnum, featuring a 10.5-inch barrel with a proprietary compensator that drastically tames recoil, and a bottom rail for attaching stabilizing devices like bipods or shooting sticks.

New from Kimber is a Long Slide version of its Stainless Target pistol. Three features make it particularly well suited for handgun hunting: a 10mm Auto chambering, a 6-inch barrel for increased velocity and sight radius, and excellent sights that consist of an adjustable rear notch and a red, fiber-optic front.
