“precision”

Most modern bullets use polymer tips, but polymer melts at 320-345 degrees Fahrenheit, while bullets can reach temperatures greater than 800 degrees during flight. To counter this, Hornady created the ELD-X hunting bullet with its Heat Shield Tip, which sports a melting point above 700 degrees and degrades far less, making for a more accurate bullet with a higher ballistic coefficient. The company then loaded it in its Hornady Precision Hunter ammo line.

The future of long-range hunting just arrived: the Modern Precision Rifle (MPR) from Christensen Arms of Gunnison, Utah. Lightweight and accurate, the bolt action MPR performs like a rifle you'd find on the Precision Rifle Shooting circuit, but with features the long-range hunter will appreciate and use in the field.

Savage Arms has announced that it will be offering four bolt-action, long-range, chassis precision rifles for 2017. Two calibers will be available in short-action and two calibers will be available in long-action.

The new B14 Series Bergara Match Precision (BMP) Chassis Rifle from Bergara Rifles is chambered in both the .308 Winchester and the 6.5 Creedmoor, and is made for long-range shooting and hunting.

The name SIG Sauer is synonymous with many things, but "bolt-action rifle" has never been among them. Never, that is, until now, with the debut of SIG Sauer's new CROSS Rifle, a precision bolt-action firearm aimed squarely at the hunting community.

Burris' new model of the Veracity PH promises to take the company's wildly popular optic to an all new lever. Utilizing the PEK (Programmable Elevation Knob) system, the optic attempts to bring a whole new level of precision to the field.

Bergara continues to build impressively accurate rifles with smart features, and the new Ridgeback is a prime example. Though it was designed primarily for Precision Rifle Series match shooters, the Ridgeback easily doubles as a hunting rifle when shots are long.

Ammunition companies have been trying for decades to build a better bullet, especially the tipped variety. There are plenty of options on shelves, and for most hunters there’s no reason to upgrade. But wait. What about those seeking perfection and wanting to push the envelope to 600 yards or beyond? That’s the trend today.

Building on its existing series of T6Xi tactical riflescopes, Steiner Optics has announced the H6Xi riflescope—tailored for today's discerning big-game hunter—now with a MIL reticle for enhanced precision.
