“hogue”

You may not expect that classic big-game rig you inherited from your father to actually shoot a good group, but you’d be surprised: attention to a handful of details can pay dividends.

Kimber has produced our 2021 Hunting Handgun of the Year: its KHX Custom (OI) in 10mm Auto.

Thinking about buying a new rifle or shotgun? There’s never been a better time than now, as this year’s crop of sub-$700 guns has some real standouts.

You don’t need to spend a fortune to own a reliable, durable, sub-MOA hunting rifle. Here’s our list of the best sub-$1,000 hunting rifles on the market today.

Thompson/Center’s flagship hunting rifle has been upgraded to feature a much-improved trigger and a corrosion-resistant Weather Shield coating. It's a well-put-together gun that manages to be affordable without being cheap.

Sporting threaded-and-capped barrels in 1/2-28 TPI for all blued calibers, as well as stainless offerings in .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor, the Howa 1500 Gen. 2 GamePro offers a setup for any shooter.

Sporting a .125-inch thick, 3.4-inch long Bohler N680 steel sheepsfoot blade, which comes either stone-washed or finished in black Cerakote, the Trauma is available with frames in solid black or safety orange.

This massive 17.5-inch-barreled .45-70 BFR from Magnum Research’s custom shop is entirely stainless steel, and features a Hogue rubber grip, adjustable sights, an octagonal barrel and pentagon-shaped 5-round cylinder.

Kimber is one of the big dogs in 1911 handguns, and when the company mated its 5-inch 1911 with a Trijicon RMR red-dot sight, the resulting KHX Custom (OI) turned out to be an excellent hunting handgun when chambered in 10mm Auto.
