“precision hunter”

In reviewing "bargain" bolt-action rifles for American Rifleman, Managing Editor Joe Kurtenbach couldn’t help but think that, much like a stripped AR, these guns may make great foundations for personalized rifle builds. To test the theory, he purchased his own bargain-bin bolt gun and set a goal to build a precision hunting rifle.

Despite the demands of searching for the perfect utilitarian scope, it needed to be affordable and offer real bang for the buck.

After a couple months of work identifying and installing performance-enhancing components, Joe Kurtenbach's bargain bolt-action rifle is ready for the range and woods. Get a closer look at the finished product with this video from American Rifleman.

CMMG has announced the addition of Hornady's new 6mm ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) chambering to its Resolute and Endeavor rifle lines.

The all-new 7mm Precision Rifle Cartridge (PRC) delivers long, heavy-for-caliber bullets in a standard long action. Fitting the niche between the 6.5 PRC and the 300 PRC, the 7mm PRC features temperature-stable, magnum speed propellants for consistent velocity and longer barrel life.

Bergara has announced the addition of 7mm PRC to select rifle models. This new caliber offering is available for all Wilderness Series models—including carbon-barrel variants—and the B-14 Squared Crest.
