2016's Top New Shotguns

Associate Editor Jon Draper takes a look at some of 2016's top new shotgun offerings.

First Look: M40-66

The M40 stands as one of this nation’s most iconic rifles. To honor the service of the M40 and the men who carried them, the design is being replicated as the M40-66 and made available to consumers in limited quantities.

An Ode to the Ruger Mini-14

Designed with a rotary bolt, based loosely on the military M14 design, with a gas piston based on the M1 Garand, the Ruger Mini-14 was made to be reliable. And, reliable it is.

Hardware: Kimber Adirondack

Although this particular bolt gun at first seemed an unlikely choice for a safari—it was named for a mountain range in upstate New York and designed for hunting heavily timbered terrain—the minimal dimensions and balance of the Kimber Adirondack proved an easy-handling rifle has a place on any continent.

Hardware: Winchester XPR

Always a leader in generational deer rifles—see the Model 94 lever-action, pre-’64 Model 70 “Rifleman’s Rifle” and the later, push-feed version of the Model 70—Winchester has jumped into the fray with its new XPR.

Mossberg Announces Blaze Magazine Promotion

O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc., has announced a new summer-long promotion: With the purchase of any member of the company's new Blaze family of rimfire rifles, consumers will receive two free 10 or 25-round magazines.

Savage Arms’ Custom-Made Model 220 Turkey Gun

Available only from Savage Arm’s Special Order Dept., this custom Model 220 variant is optimally suited to pursing springtime’s big, boisterous birds.

Mossberg Blaze

Mossberg announced its "Big 5" for 2015 on the eve of SHOT Show 2015—including the new Patriot, reviewed by Richard Mann here—and among the new releases was an expansion to its rimfire family: the Blaze.

Benelli Ethos Review

The Benelli Ethos, the newest semi-auto from the Italian gun manufacturer, has the edgy looks and modifications to the inertia-driven, rotating-bolt mechanism, but the cutting edge doesn't start there.
