Here’s a closer look at some of the most exciting hunting rifles introduced this year.

In 2003, Finnish firearms manufacturer Sako released its own variant of the 9.3mm rimless cartridge: the 9.3x66mm Sako, or as it is known in the U.S., the .370 Sako Magnum. It delivers performance on par with the beloved .375 H&H in a package which can hold one additional round in the magazine in a lighter rifle.

The new XT (X-Treme) is CVA’s precision-oriented rifle in the company’s popular Cascade rifle series, and boasts several features that make it an ideal multipurpose hunting rifle. 

Among those cartridges which are considered the bare minimum for an all-around choice—and that includes the African heavyweights—the 9.3x62mm Mauser and .375 H&H Magnum are undoubtedly two of the best. Which comes out on top? Contributor Philip Massaro examines the pros and cons of each.

The Rock River Arms All Terrain Hunter is a mid-length, AR-style rifle designed specifically with hunters in mind.

Hornady’s dive into a .17-caliber rimfire was met with fanfare, as it truly was—and still is—a decided improvement over the long-range ballistics of any of the .22 rimfire cartridges.

Delivering superb accuracy and ruggedness at an attractive price point, Mauser’s new M18 Savanna features a savanna-colored polymer stock with soft grip inlays on at the pistol grip and fore-end and a threaded barrel for the addition of a suppressor or muzzle brake.  

Between the .348 Winchester and .358 Winchester, which cartridge is the better all-around choice for the hunter? Contributor Philip Massaro examines the pros and cons of each.

Blaser Group has announced the importation of the Mauser M18 bolt-action rifle in two camo patterns—U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) and Fred Bear Old School Camo.
