Review: Heym Model 26B Double Rifle .45-70

The Model 26B over/under double rifle handles well, carries efficiently, is seriously accurate and is handsome enough to hand to your friends to admire.

Review: Leupold VX-3HD 4.5-14x40mm

Leupold’s VX-3HD riflescopes are lightweight, rugged and well balanced, and included in the line may be the best value for a hunter looking to cover all the bases: the 4.5-14x40mm. With its 30mm main tube, this scope offers a wider range of elevation adjustment than its 1-inch counterparts, as well as better light transmission.

Hardware: Zeiss Victory V8

With apologies to vegetable juice and automobile engines, riflescope users can now have a V8, too. A Zeiss V8.

Top New Riflescopes for 2017

AmericanHunter.org contributor Keith Wood takes a look at some of 2017's top new riflescope offerings.

First Look: Christensen Arms Modern Precision Rifle (MPR)

The future of long-range hunting just arrived: the Modern Precision Rifle (MPR) from Christensen Arms of Gunnison, Utah. Lightweight and accurate, the bolt action MPR performs like a rifle you'd find on the Precision Rifle Shooting circuit, but with features the long-range hunter will appreciate and use in the field.

How to Build a Custom Rifle

Want to build a custom rifle but don't know where to start? Contributor Philip Massaro offers a few tips he learned throughout the process.

Hardware: Ddupleks Broadhead & Steelhead Slugs

If you like the idea of the full-diameter hole and heavyweight punch that an old, full-patch “punkin' ball” can deliver, you’ll want to take a hard look at Ddupleks slugs.

Hardware: Bushmaster Minimalist-SD

Fitting of its name, the Minimalist is a svelte AR with just enough features to make it eminently practical in the woods. Weighing 6 pounds, it’s lighter than almost any centerfire bolt-, lever- or pump-action rifle you’ll see at deer camp.

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. Available in 14 variable-power models with four magnification ranges, five objective diameters and six reticles, all VX-Freedom scopes have 1-inch maintubes, which keeps size and weight reasonable.
