SHOT Show 2024 Best New Rifles Lead

Best New Hunting Rifles for 2024

Firearms manufacturers are rolling out new hunting rifles for 2024 at the annual SHOT Show in Las Vegas and we’re giving you a close-up look at the best of the class.

Behind the Bullet: .17 Winchester Super Magnum

If velocity is your thing, and you want the speediest rimfire cartridge currently available, look no further than the .17 WSM.

Behind the Bullet: 350 Legend

The 350 Legend is designed specifically for hunters to deliver massive downrange energy transfer with improved penetration from a modern straight-walled cartridge.

Behind the Bullet: .303 British

The .303 British has a deeply rooted history in the era of exploration and is tied to the adventurers and hunters who headed to the wilds.

Behind the Bullet: 26 Nosler

The first of the Nosler proprietary cartridges, the 26 Nosler remains a flat-shooting, hard-hitting choice for hunting open country. Being a 6.5mm cartridge, it will use the high ballistic coefficient projectiles which retain their energy downrange, resist the effects of a crosswind and offer a flat trajectory.

First Look: BowTruk Travel Case

An update from the original, the Generation II Easton BowTruk was redesigned with more focus on durability and the quick access. Increased versatility was also thought of, to make the case useful for multiple different sizes of bows.

Annual Breeding Waterfowl Population Survey Results

The breeding population of ducks declined seven percent this spring, while pond counts dropped by nine percent compared to last year, according to the 2023 Waterfowl Population Status report released by the USFWS.

Ballistic Coefficient: Why It Matters for Hunting

A detailed look at ballistic coefficient and how it applies to the hunter’s choice of projectile.

Behind the Bullet: 6mm Remington

Introduced in 1955, the 6mm Remington was designed to be a dual-purpose cartridge that could handle varmints and predators just as well as it could deer and similar-sized game.

Head to Head: 6.5 Creedmoor vs. 6.5x55 Swedish

Why would the Creedmoor gain acceptance, when we had such a similar level of performance in a cartridge released at the end of the 19th century? Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of each.
