Featuring the PĒK (Programable Elevation Knob) system, a built-in Heads-Up Display and Bluetooth connectivity for uploading custom ballistic data from the new BurrisConnect Mobile App, the Veracity PH is designed to imbue confidence in the field.

Built using all the knowledge ballisticians have gained over years of collecting data, the 6.5 PRC is one of the most perfect hybrid hunting/long-range target rounds ever conceived.

The acronym embedded in the nomenclature of the SIG Sauer BDX system says it all—Ballistic Data Xchange is exactly what occurs when using the optics system. It is three units—a riflescope, laser rangefinder and smartphone app—which work in sync to ensure hunters fire at distant targets with certainty.

The new Trijicon Ventus rangefinder provides hunters with previously unattainable data about their environments to improve long-range accuracy, featuring a Doppler LIDAR engine that can measure headwind, tailwind, crosswind and vertical wind components at six different distances.

The 2022 National R3 Symposium wrapped up last week in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. The 220 participants representing over 100 different organizations with an interest in hunting and shooting sports were the first to lay eyes on data released from the Council to Advance Hunting and the Shooting Sports (Council), documenting a slight decrease in hunting license sales in 2021.

In his new book, The Scout Rifle Study, Richard Mann weighs the worth of the scout rifle—for defensive purposes, survival and hunting—in modern terms. The title is fitting, as the book is an exhaustive and enlightening examination of a firearm type that’s commonly misunderstood, as well as a survey that provides real-world, objective data on the scout rifle’s supposed benefits.
