“suppressors”

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.

For the 144th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits, SIG rolled out a new addition to its ammunition line, and one hunters might find handy: 300 Blackout Supersonic Elite Performance Ammunition Match Grade Centerfire Cartridges.

Suppressors have been a hot topic in the industry of late—and something that NRA-ILA has been keeping an eye on for hunters, too. Among the hurdles they face though, is a general unfamiliarity from much of the hunting and shooting community. In hopes of turning that tide, the American Suppressor Association hosted a suppressor shoot during the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits outside Nashville, Tenn. last week. American Rifleman's Brian Sheetz had the opportunity to discuss the issue with Association President Knox Williams. Relive their discussion—and learn a few things—with the video embedded here.

Creating a compact, yet still potent, crossbow is especially challenging for engineers; however, that’s exactly what Canadian manufacturer Excalibur Crossbow accomplished with its new Micro 335, a recurve-style crossbow with minimalist physical dimensions.

Here are seven myths—and the seven corresponding truths—about silencer ownership.

With more and more states legalizing the common sense practice of hunting with suppressors to protect our hearing, more hunters than ever will take their rifles afield this year with new devices attached to their muzzles.

There's never a bad time to add a new rifle to your gun case—especially if you're looking for a favorite new meat maker before the 2015 whitetail season kicks into high gear. Here are a few new-for-2015 offerings that deserve some consideration if you're looking to make an addition to the family before your season begins.

Field Editor Brian McCombie had an opportunity to put SilencerCo-equipped firearms to use on a South Texas deer hunt. What's hunting whitetails with a suppressor like? Get Brian's take here.
