American Hunter's 2010 Golden Bullseye Award Winners

American Hunter editors announce the top guns and gear of the past year.

BSA Contender

While BSA’s Contender series may not wow us with optical brilliance, they provide reliable shot placement and endurance at a great price.

Nikon M-223 Riflescope Review

Nikon’s M-223 series of affordable scopes allows long-range AR shooters to be fast and proficient in changing circumstances and at varying target distances.

Rock River Coyote Carbine Review

Its superb accuracy and high-capacity magazine make the Coyote Carbine a great rifle for varmints or self-defense.

Hardware: Magpul Hunter 700 Stock

There are lots of reasons to put a new stock on your old rifle, but cost, time and skill required to do the job prevent most of us from getting around to it. Magpul leaves us with no more excuses now that the company has introduced its Hunter 700 stock. It’s tough, adjustable, easy to install and has a built-in aluminum bedding block—all for about $250.

Hardware: Hornady CX

The new Hornady CX bullet is an upgrade of the popular GMX. The company’s ballistic engineers looked at all the attributes of the older GMX design and made some key changes which had an effect on downrange trajectory and terminal performance.

Head to Head: 6.5 Creedmoor vs. 6.5x55 Swedish

Why would the Creedmoor gain acceptance, when we had such a similar level of performance in a cartridge released at the end of the 19th century? Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of each.

An Ode to the .300 Weatherby Magnum

Despite an array of competitors being introduced since its 1944 debut, Weatherby’s original .30-caliber magnum cartridge is arguably still the best in class.
