Gear Guide 2018: Hats, Gloves & Socks

We expect our gear to do what it was made to do, to hold up to the beating we give it, time and time again. Here are our hat, glove and sock selections for 2018.

New for 2022: Benelli SBE3 28-Gauge, 3-Inch

For 2022, Benelli raises the bar in the growing sub-gauge movement with the release of the 28-gauge Super Black Eagle 3, featuring a 3-inch chamber.

New for 2022: Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT

The newest addition to Christensen Arms’ Ridgeline bolt-action lineup, the FFT features a new carbon fiber stock, high-end features and superb accuracy in an ultralight package.

Hardware: Hoyt Carbon RX-5

Hoyt has set a new bar with the RX-5. We've shot and tested every RX model the company has put out over the years, and this one trumps them all when it comes to overall shootability, stealth and that oh-so-good feel.

Hardware: Kimber Adirondack

Although this particular bolt gun at first seemed an unlikely choice for a safari—it was named for a mountain range in upstate New York and designed for hunting heavily timbered terrain—the minimal dimensions and balance of the Kimber Adirondack proved an easy-handling rifle has a place on any continent.

Hardware: Franchi Momentum Elite Varmint

In addition to its excellent fit, function and accuracy, the Momentum Elite Varmint sports a rugged, synthetic stock engineered specifically for varmint hunting and is outfitted with a removable cheek rest, checkered-polymer grip and versatile camo.

Hardware: Benelli Super Black Eagle 3

All things considered, the Benelli SBE 3 is a well-planned evolution of not just the SBE platform, but semi-automatic shotguns in general. The dominance of the pump gun is over, never to return.
