2014's Best Whitetail States: Part IV

The Top 10 started with Michigan, Ohio, Missouri, Kentucky and Kansas. Who's the cream of the crop? Check out the final installment of our "Top 20 States for Whitetails" series.

First Look: M40-66

The M40 stands as one of this nation’s most iconic rifles. To honor the service of the M40 and the men who carried them, the design is being replicated as the M40-66 and made available to consumers in limited quantities.

Marlin 336XLR

The main reason for the success of the XLR and cowboy-action shooting: Quite simply, lever-actions are fun to shoot.

CVA Accura

With a custom-quality barrel and trigger that would inspire a benchrest competitor, the Accura demonstrates that the long guns of today's CVA are far from primitive.

A Three-Rifle African Battery

I put much more thought, planning and care into the selection of my safari rifles than I do choosing the safari itself.

The Top Five Outdoor Films…..Ever

It's hard to define what qualifies a motion picture as an "outdoor" film. To make this list the film must center on hunting and/or the outdoors. One of these two elements must be central to the plot, theme, tone and overall narrative of the flick. The movie gets more points if it has more than one—and a lot of shooting. Sure, a good film about love, loss and triumph that has outdoor-based cinematography might seem to fit, but we need to dig a little deeper here. Same goes for Westerns, they have their own category.

Big-Bore Hardware

Scott Olmsted shares which guns and gear he used for a big-game hunt in Africa.

Ode to the .22

Anything chambered in the venerable .22 is a perfect rifle for beginners, and can help seasoned shooters stay sharp. Ken Bailey takes a look at what's helped make the .22 such an important part of our industry's history.

Ducks in Historia

Among all the duck-hunting haunts up and down the Mississippi Flyway, a spot in the middle of a water-filled woods just south of Tunica, Miss., between the Mississippi and Coldwater rivers provides wingshooters with a glimpse of Southern tradition. This is Beaver Dam Lake, made famous not only by its fabulous fowling but by one of the South’s prominent sporting scribes, Nash Buckingham.

Gear Review: Voormi Hunting Apparel

Voormi has turned the concept of natural-fiber technical garments into an art form. Merino wool sourced exclusively from sheep in the Rocky Mountains combined with the company’s proprietary weaving process results in comfortable, lightweight, water-resistant clothing.
