Winchester and Browning have collaborated to produce the 6.8 Western—a new take on the concept of the .270 WSM, using heavier bullets and a faster twist rate than previous iterations of the Winchester cartridges have used.

A rifle built for long-range hunters, the X-Bolt Hell's Canyon Max Long Range is designed to improve shooting confidence by offering the adjustments necessary to fit different body types, and dial-in correct eye-to-scope alignment for magnified optics.
