Last year Ruger melded two of its working-man rifle brands—the Ranch moniker and its American Rifle line—to offer the American Rifle Ranch. Let’s talk about what’s in this name.

Most of the employees at Daniel Defense are hunters, and they convinced Marty there is a good market for ARs on the hunting side. As a result, he recently branched out and created Ambush Firearms, a company that makes AR-15 rifles for hunting. The guns have the same quality and attention to performance as the defense models, but in designs by hunters, for hunters.

Although this particular bolt gun at first seemed an unlikely choice for a safari—it was named for a mountain range in upstate New York and designed for hunting heavily timbered terrain—the minimal dimensions and balance of the Kimber Adirondack proved an easy-handling rifle has a place on any continent.

Subsonic ammo just doesn’t cut it for big-game hunting. Here’s why.

Wilson Combat’s new .300 HAM’R will do everything the .30-30 Winchester will do and more, but from an AR-15 platform.

Whether mounted on an AR, a lever gun or a single-shot, the KonusPro M-30 1x-6x-24mm is a handy scope for up-close encounters. Some of its features—such as a 30mm main tube and a well-designed reticle with dual-color illumination—may come as a surprise, considering its relatively low MSRP of less than $360.

Can a rifle really be optimized for hunting and home defense, at the same time? Yes, you can have the best of both worlds.

By today’s standards, the external ballistics of the 7.62x39mm Soviet are insipid. And yet, the cartridge remains an excellent choice for hunting common big-game species at practical ranges.
