Leupold’s new BX-4 Range HD 10x42mm rangefinding binocular fuses the company’s DNA engine and ballistics software with the optical performance hunters require.

Leupold introduces five new optics to its VX-Freedom line of riflescopes, including models with illuminated reticles, 30mm maintubes and more.

If you're going to hunt elk, you'd best be prepared.

AmericanHunter.org contributor Keith Wood takes a look at some of 2017's top new riflescope offerings.

Leupold's new VX-Freedom riflescope line provides many of the same benefits as its more expensive scopes for substantially less money. Available in 14 variable-power models with four magnification ranges, five objective diameters and six reticles, all VX-Freedom scopes have 1-inch maintubes, which keeps size and weight reasonable.

The VX-3HD CDS-ZL gives you more than your money’s worth. If you’re an old-school (or at least older) hunter who’s settled in with your old scope, you might want to entertain a roving eye in the scope realm.

For that special hunter in your life—especially if he or she dreams of hunting out west—here are a dozen items that will fit perfectly under this year’s Christmas tree.

The Sharps Rifle Company (SRC) developed the .25-45 Sharps cartridge and introduced it in 2012. Not to be confused with Shiloh Sharps—a company that makes historically correct blackpowder cartridge rifles—SRC is for all practical purposes built around this one cartridge, which is designed to replicate .250 Savage ballistics in an AR-15. Four years after its introduction, most hunters have never heard of the .25-45 Sharps. That’s about to change.
