2015 has come and gone, but the Internet lives on. Here are the stories that AmericanHunter.org readers were most keen on last year.

The company delivered the first of what should likely be many A17 variants at SHOT Show. Coming in 2016 are Sporter models of the award-winning rifle.

If you've been paying attention to AmericanHunter.org of late, you'll have heard that we announced the Savage Arms A17 would receive our Golden Bullseye Award for "Rifle of the Year" at the impending 2016 NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits in Louisville.

Savage Arms has announced the launch of its new A17 XP Scope package gun. The new A17 XP model features a Bushnell A17 scope that comes mounted and boresighted.
