Top 5 American-Made Hunting Rifles

As we approach the anniversary of the announcement of our independence, and the greatest upset in history, let’s take a look at the five most iconic American hunting rifle designs.

An Ode to the Ruger Mini Thirty

Chambered for the 7.62x39mm cartridge, the Ruger Mini Thirty is well suited to deer and similar-sized game in the same style of compact, handy rifle that the Mini-14 brought to the table.

Redfield Revived

Given the present state of the economy, an American-made scope for $129 should have no trouble finding its place in the market.

Ruger New Model Blackhawk .44 Special

The New Model Blackhawk .44 Special, circa 2010, is a six-shot, single-action revolver in the Flat-top design.

An Ode to the Ruger Mini-14

As we celebrate the life of NRA HLF member Robert M. Lee (Oct. 2, 1927-Jan. 28, 2016), he forever will be remembered for his dedication to American freedom and to ensuring the NRA, firearms, hunting, shooting sports and wildlife conservation will remain at its core.

The Mauser 98: Still Perfect for Hunters

If there were ever a classic rifle design—one that would go on to spawn innumerable copies—it is the Mauser 98. While the vast majority of American hunters rely upon the multitude of popular American bolt-action rifles, they owe a huge debt of gratitude to Paul Mauser’s turnbolt design.

Review: Ruger Super Wrangler

The Super Wrangler is reliable, accurate and affordable. It may well be this generation’s best of the best for a “woods” gun and is an excellent rimfire handgun choice for any hunter.

The Singles Scene

Straight from the Swinging ’60s came two pistols that gave rise to the modern single-shot handguns we hunt with today.
