“claw extractor”

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

From upland game to big game, these guns represent real value for shooters.

The Hunter is certainly the most utilitarian-looking sporter in the Kimber family, but that doesn't really matter. Its performance, weight and price are what will command attention.

One rifle to rule them all?

This is a bolt-action rifle. There are many like it, but this one is a Mauser 98. It is legendary. It is the culmination of much tinkering and testing by its creator, Paul Mauser, and the final result is a thing of strength and simplistic beauty.

As home to the nation’s most prominent hunter training school, the SAAM Precision course, the FTW Ranch in Southwest Texas is a familiar name to many rifle shooters. In 2015, Ruger introduced the FTW Hawkeye Predator rifle based on many of the lessons learned at its namesake property.

One hundred four years after it was designed, the venerable .416 Bore made famous on the game fields of Africa is again being made in London on a genuine Mauser Magnum action.

Although this particular bolt gun at first seemed an unlikely choice for a safari—it was named for a mountain range in upstate New York and designed for hunting heavily timbered terrain—the minimal dimensions and balance of the Kimber Adirondack proved an easy-handling rifle has a place on any continent.

Winchester has announced the launch of its latest addition to the venerable Model 70 line in the Ultimate Shadow Hunter SS. The Shadow Hunter SS sports a lightweight synthetic stock in the new Mossy Oak Break-Up Country camouflage pattern, alongside a stainless steel receiver that features the popular pre-'64 style controlled round feeding with claw extractor and fixed ejector.
