“proof research”

Here are five top-notch backcountry rifles, all of which are lightweight and superbly designed.

Savage’s new Model 110 Ultralight rifle includes all the class-leading features you’d expect from a Savage gun with the addition of a Proof Research carbon-fiber barrel that keeps overall weight at 6 pounds or less.

Kimber has announced the addition of four new Pro Carbon Rifles to its Open Range Line.

A beltless non-rebated .30-caliber magnum rifle cartridge designed for extreme performance at long range, the new 300 PRC is the product of years of tinkering by Hornady, and acts like magic so long as the shooter does his part.

Get a closer look at the Nosler M48 Long Range Carbon, the latest addition to our #SundayGunday series.

Loaded with premium features, the new M48 Mountain Carbon looks to set a new standard for backcountry hunting rifles.

The 7-pound Long Range Carbon is a full-length, heavy-barreled rifle that’s just as suited for the sandbags at the target range as it is for slogging through snow and cedars on the crest of a mountain. A heavy barrel and light weight are normally mutually exclusive, but the combination is made possible by carbon fiber.

From budget guns to London bests, these rifles offer something for every hunter and every budget.

Built using all the knowledge ballisticians have gained over years of collecting data, the 6.5 PRC is one of the most perfect hybrid hunting/long-range target rounds ever conceived.
