Controlled-round feed relates to the way in which the bolt handles a cartridge as it is stripped from the magazine and fed into the chamber.

Ruger has announced that its popular Gunsite Scout Rifle will now be available in a .223 Rem./5.56 NATO configuration.

Bryce Towsley breaks down the gear he used on his Alaskan brown bear hunt.

The new Savage A17 uses a delayed blowback action. A small bar in the top of the bolt slides up to fit into a slot in the receiver when the bolt is closed, locking the action. The bar cams back down upon firing to release the bolt and allow the action to cycle, but it delays the action from opening until pressure has dropped to a manageable level.

The world has been awash in .22 Long Rifle rimfires for decades, but few have been built as solidly as the new CZ 455 Varmint Thumbhole Fluted bolt-action. This “little twenty-two” is hefty, a “real” rifle with real rifle feel and performance to match.

Legendary Arms Works Big Five rifle fits that bill just perfectly.
