“offhand”

This Sunday, as everyone enjoys the holiday lull between Christmas and New Year’s Day, we thought it would be the perfect opportunity for a rearward glance at five of our top #SundayGunday guns of 2021.

The new Model 21 is packed with cutting-edge features, including a wire EDM machined receiver, nitride-coated, fluted bolt, TriggerTech trigger, Shilen match-grade stainless steel barrel, and a rugged, lightweight synthetic stock.

Despite the potential for roller-coaster October weather, a weeklong pronghorn camp in central Wyoming can easily turn into an annual adventure with a draw that rivals whitetail camps back East—especially if you’ve got the right equipment.

Let’s take a closer look at how various barrel lengths, from rimfires to safari guns, play a role in a rifle’s performance.

Weighing in at 5.5 pounds, the ultralight Sauer 101 Highland XTC is a well-balanced, all-around rifle, featuring a hand-laid carbon fiber stock, fluted and factory threaded barrel, fluted bolt and all the standard S101 features that guarantee reliability and accuracy.

Whether trying to hold your turkey shotgun steady for those interminable moments as a tom warily closes the distance into shooting range, or for trying to overcome the excitement of having the bull elk of your dreams in the crosshairs, a solid rest just makes sense. Find the system that works for you and you’ll fast become a better shot.

The XPR Renegade Long Range SR is a target/hunting hybrid rifle that combines a premium barrel, receiver, trigger and third-party target stock to deliver a rifle capable of half-inch or better groups from the bench, while remaining handy enough to carry in the field and heavy enough to shoot accurately from field positions.

Get a closer look at the Mossberg 464 Pistol Grip rifle, the latest addition to our #SundayGunday series.

The new Python is a close copy of the original with the internal structural improvements that should provide you and your kids years of service. Fit and finish of the highly polished stainless-steel components are excellent with an attractive set of walnut grips that shame the older Python versions.
