“breech”

"Lightweight" continues to be the buzzword for new rifles this year. The new CVA Accura Mountain Rifle is no exception.

The numbers are not in yet, but I’ll be surprised if this show does not set an attendance record. Wading through the sea of gunning humanity has been a challenge; nonetheless I have found a few more nuggets that tripped my trigger.

The newest offering from Traditions packs tons of features into a lightweight, yet long-barreled, modern in-line muzzleloader.

The latest varmint rifle from Thompson/Center offers hunters a dedicated predator gun at a good value.

The features include a kinematic action that is inertia operated, unlike your papa's recoil-operated A5.

The CVA ACCURA Mountain Rifle is a pound lighter than the APEX, and comes with WeatherGuard to handle everything a hunt can dish out.

The Accura MR is short and light, making it easy to wield in the mountains or in a stand.

The two-barrel combo comes in a case with choke tubes for each barrel. It's perfect for the range and upland fields.

When it comes to selecting a rifle, there's almost no end to the options available. Which models are the best on the market today? Check out Keith Wood's Top 10.
