Here’s a closer look at some of the most exciting hunting rifles introduced this year.

The new XT (X-Treme) is CVA’s precision-oriented rifle in the company’s popular Cascade rifle series, and boasts several features that make it an ideal multipurpose hunting rifle. 

The Rock River Arms All Terrain Hunter is a mid-length, AR-style rifle designed specifically with hunters in mind.

The Savage 93 Minimalist combines a classic laminate stock design with modern aesthetics to achieve a lightweight platform with improved ergonomics.

Colt introduces its brand-new CBX Precision Rifle—an advanced bolt-action chassis rifle with performance-enhancing features ideal for competitive shooters.

The Woodman Arms Patriot muzzleloader is light, short and easy to carry. It shoots extremely well and, with the closed breech, can be waterproofed to ensure it goes off every time. It’s accurate enough to manage the open country, light enough to climb mountains and small enough to handle well in a deer blind.

The new 110 PCS bolt-action pistol is built around the 110’s factory blueprinted action, which is secured in a one-piece aluminum chassis from MDT and includes an AICS-style detachable box magazine. It makes for the perfect all-terrain firearm, and would be particularly useful when hunting from a tight ground blind.

If you’re looking for a compact, quick and scope-sighted (or red dot) coyote/varmint/deer rifle or personal defense rifle, the Henry Long Ranger Express, chambered in .223 Remington, is worth a hard look.
