“small bore”

It was 150 years ago that the name “Winchester” was first stamped on a rifle. But Winchester’s narrative began well before that, and it is a tale tied to the American West, to the wars of the 20th century, to big personalities such as John Browning and John Olin, and to the manufacture of billions of cartridges and millions of rifles and shotguns beloved by generations of Americans.

With the exception of the 7mm, American hunters haven't been crazy about metric-caliber rifle cartridges. The 6.5mm is helping to change that.

If you enjoy a small-bore shotgun for hunting and shooting you will be interested in the 28-gauge semi-automatic addition to the Mossberg International series.

Named after former NRA president George R. Whittington, the 33,000-acre Whittington Center complex was purchased in 1973 and opened four years later. It has since become a must-see destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

Though the .223 Remington has stolen the limelight—military adopted cartridges tend to do that after all—we owe a debt of gratitude to Mike Walker and his development. Without the .222, there would be no .223.

This economical six-shooter from Heritage Mfg. provides plinkers and small-game hunters with a modern, U.S.-made single-action that hearkens the time when cowboys and frontiersmen roamed the countryside.
