“commemorative”

Federal Premium has been helping to revolutionize the ammunition industry since 1922—and no one man, woman or child might have a greater appreciation for that history than collector David "Doc" Frederickson.

The Winchester brand has had no shortage of new surprises for its consumers—like the new Varmint X shotshell—but, as SHOT Show 2016 kicks into high gear, the company will also begin a year-long celebration. Oliver F. Winchester introduced his now legendary brand to the world in 1866—and so, in 2016, Winchester celebrates 150 years of success.

The industry's hottest new releases were on display at SHOT Show 2016 last month. Here's our roundup of some of the year's top new rifle offerings.

John Rigby & Co. donates a breathtaking, commemorative .275 Rigby Jim Corbett Rifle inspired by the rifle presented to Corbett in gratitude for shooting the man-eating tigress of Champawat, India, in 1907 by Sir John Hewett, then lieutenant governor of the United Provinces.

The 2016 Great American Outdoor Show kicked off to great fanfare this past weekend, and dedicated hunters, shooters, archers, fishermen and other outdoor enthusiasts are exploring the halls of the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex at this very moment.

As we've mentioned a few times before, 2016 marks the 150th Anniversary for the cumulative Winchester brands. As you might expect, commemorative product releases are coming—some have already dropped, like the 150th Anniversary Model 73 we saw at SHOT Show 2016. Next up on the list is Winchester Ammo's recently announced custom-built, collectible cartridge-firearm boards. There will be five in all.
