2015 SHOT Show Roundup

Looking to catch up on all of our SHOT Show 2015 coverage? Here's a roundup of some of the things the American Hunter staff saw earlier this month.

New Cartridge for 2021: 6.8 Western

Engineers at Browning and Winchester teamed up to create a cartridge that offers magnum performance with a modern high-BC projectile, yet is chambered in a short-action rifle for shorter bolt throw and less weight. The 6.8 Western was designed to be the ultimate long-range cartridge that is capable in any big-game hunting scenario as well as long-range target shooting.

Top 8 New Hunting Guns Under $800

You don’t need to break the bank to own a great rifle or shotgun. Here are eight new firearms you can add to your collection for less than $800.

Hardware: Winchester Deer Season XP Copper Impact

Deer Season XP Copper Impact hits hard, expands consistently and delivers massive amounts of trauma as it penetrates deep. Suitable for much more than deer, it should be a welcome complement to any hunter’s rifle.

Hardware: Winchester Copper Impact

Winchester has revamped its monometal performer in the new Copper Impact ammunition line, expanding the game-taking ability of its tried and tested Copper Extreme Point bullet introduced in 2018. No matter your quarry, you won’t be disappointed with its performance.

Hardware: Winchester 350 Legend

The new 350 Legend is designed specifically for hunters to deliver massive downrange energy transfer with improved penetration from a modern straight-walled cartridge, and boasts more muzzle energy than the .30-30 Win., .300 BLK and .223 Rem.

Top New Rifles for 2017

Let’s take a look at some of the most exciting new hunting rifles that will be available for 2017.

How to Help a New Hunter Buy a Big-Game Rifle

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.

Behind the Bullet: 6.8 Western

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. Essentially, the 6.8 Western picks up where the .270 WSM leaves off, and delivers a whole lot more.

Review: Winchester 400 Legend

Winchester’s new 400 Legend is a streamlined, mid-sized straight-wall cartridge intended to fill the gap between its wildly popular 350 Legend and the notorious 450 Bushmaster. It is—in our opinion—a masterstroke of genius.
