Introduced in 1965, the .350 Remington Magnum could be considered the original short magnum. Using the belted Holland & Holland case responsible for so many excellent designs from the 40s, 50s and 60s, but shortened to be wedged into a short-action magazine, the .350 Magnum would mimic the performance of the .35 Whelen.

Among the lightest hunting rifles on the market, the Super Lite lives up to its name with a mere 4-pound, 7-ounce weight. This is aided by its lightweight Stocky's stock and a unique action that sits between the Howa Mini Action and Short Action in terms of size.

Brad Fenson is finishing off winter with more comfort-food favorites, as always with a game-meat twist. Read on for a cheesy venison spaghetti bake.

Brad Fenson whips up a quick yet filling hunting camp favorite in this latest wild-game recipe.

With a lightweight composite riser and measuring just over 7 inches axle-to-axle when cocked, the Hyper Raptor provides maneuverability in tight-quartered hunting spaces.
