“straight pull”

The editors of American Hunter have announced the recipients of our 2022 Golden Bullseye Awards.

Here's a look at 2021's most exciting new rifles for hunters looking to make an upgrade.

Blaser has announced a new chambering for its R8 modular rifle—6.5 PRC. The R8's straight-pull bolt-action platform offers hunters a vast number of configurations to meet their needs in the field.

The new Savage Impulse is much more than just a good first attempt at an American-made straight-pull. It can take long-range precision shots with ease, yet is in its element stacking lead in rapid fashion.

American Hunter Editor David Herman puts the new Savage Impulse to the test on 12,000 acres of South Texas Hill Country. Read on to see how the swift-shooting straight-pull performs.

With the release of its new Impulse straight-pull rifle, Savage is providing American hunters a high-performance option that emphasizes high rate of fire.

That new hunter you've been tutoring may be in love with a lever-action rifle. Alternately, he may think he absolutely needs a .30-caliber magnum to "cover all the bases." But it's up to you to talk him into making a reasonable purchase when it comes to his first big-game rig.

The Victory V8 1X-8X-30mm riflescope, lauded as the biggest of the super-zooms, offers a wide field of view (FOV); superior image quality and target resolution; 8X magnification; a 10mm exit pupil at 1X for quick target acquisition and precise shots through small openings or at close range; and 92 percent light transmission for bright, high-contrast images.
