“pack”

Another year has come and gone. While the eggnog settles and the Christmas tree continues to burn bright, here at American Hunter that can mean only one thing: it's time for our top five #SundayGundays of 2023. Read on for what racked up the most views, clicks and comments this year.

The second installment of American Hunter's  long-term test of the QuietKat Apex Pro, Associate Editor David Herman loads the bike up with a mature buck to see just how well the bike can manage the extra weight.

The new ultra-lightweight .30-caliber Banish Backcountry is a 100 percent titanium, fully welded, fixed-length suppressor that measures 5.5 inches in length and weighs just 7.8 ounces.

Whether for range use, personal defense or hunting, Federal’s new Shorty shotshells pack a similar punch to their bigger brothers in a small, 1¾-inch shell. Loaded with No. 8 shot, No. 4 buckshot or a rifled slug, there’s a reduced-recoil Shorty for you.

Like a lot of current price-point bolt-actions, the Winchester XPR is built on a round-bodied receiver joined to the barrel by a lock nut. This design requires fewer machining or hand-fitting steps to regulate headspace, it’s a wining method among cost-conscious manufacturers. But what makes it stand out from the rest of the pack?

Maker of one of the most successful multi-tools ever, Leatherman had a pair of new offerings that could be of use to hunters on display at SHOT Show 2016: the Knifeless Rebar and the Skeletool.

There's no doubt about it, Winchester's Shot-Lok technology has been a full-fledged revolution. Though originally designed with turkeys in mind, the concept has expanded to upland loads and, for 2016, will enter a not-so-feathered market. Coyotes, hogs and varmints the world over will be testing their luck against Varmint X shotshells going forward.

The iconic company is introducing a new generation of ammo for a new generation of hunters and shooters in the 21st century.
