Field Test: Zeiss Victory V8 Riflescope

The Victory V8 1X-8X-30mm riflescope, lauded as the biggest of the super-zooms, offers a wide field of view (FOV); superior image quality and target resolution; 8X magnification; a 10mm exit pupil at 1X for quick target acquisition and precise shots through small openings or at close range; and 92 percent light transmission for bright, high-contrast images.

Field Test: Hatsan BT Big Bore Carnivore

The Carnivore can send its .30-caliber, 44-grain payload at a lizard-thumping 860 fps with enough air in the tank for about 20 shots before losing velocity. For the stateside small-gamer, that’s plenty of power in a single tank to get through an average hunt. Refilling a spent tank can be done quickly with the aid of a pre-filled scuba tank and adaptor kit or, using a bit more manpower, a PCP hand pump.

Field Test: Excalibur Micro Suppressor Crossbow Package

The Micro Suppressor offers hunters a small and quiet, yet powerful, crossbow that excels in a range of environs and situations for an equally diverse range of quarry. Come to think of it, what else could you want?

Field Test: Remington Model 870 DM Magpul

Field Editor Brian McCombie had the opportunity to put the new Remington Model 870 DM Magpul to the test on a recent Texas whitetail/hog hunt.

Field Test: Browning Sub-Gauge BPT Loads

Contributor Brad Fitzpatrick tests the first 28-gauge load to wear the Buckmark logo on the clays course and in the field.

Field Test: Cuddeback CuddeLink Trail Camera System

The days of checking multiple trail cameras are over. With Cuddeback’s CuddeLink system, hunters can view images from up to 15 trail cams via one home collection device.

Field Test: Excalibur Crossbow Micro 335

Creating a compact, yet still potent, crossbow is especially challenging for engineers; however, that’s exactly what Canadian manufacturer Excalibur Crossbow accomplished with its new Micro 335, a recurve-style crossbow with minimalist physical dimensions.

Field Test: Remington Model 700 AWR

The Remington Model 700 AWR (American Wilderness Rifle) offers serious hunters features previously available only in expensive custom-shop rifles.

Field Test: Weatherby Orion, Element Built to Last

Weatherby’s newest Orion over/under picks up where the company’s previous Italian- and Japanese-made Regency, Orion and Athena over/under guns left off: with quality.

Field Test: Carlson's Choke Tubes Cremator

Unless you’re a waterfowl hunter, you don’t often want to talk much about choking. Sets a bad tone. But wingshooters by and large make their bones on the strength of two things (their own talents with the scattergun aside): good shotshells and quality choke tubes.
