Hardware: Leupold VX-5HD

With high-definition lenses and extended low-light hunting performance, the VX-5HD riflescope line is an excellent example of the pertinent developments in hunting optics in recent years.

Hardware: Leupold VX-Freedom

Leupold's new VX-Freedom riflescope line provides many of the same benefits as its more expensive scopes for substantially less money.

Hardware: 444 Marlin

Hunters looking for a gun that offers high performance with a straight-wall rifle cartridge should welcome the 444 Marlin. It functions well, provides excellent accuracy for a big-bore lever-action and accepts a scope.
