Just before SHOT Show 2016 kicked off, we promised you a closer look at the Savage Arms A22 Mag., the .22 WMR version of the award-winning A17. Well, we've delivered.
Uberti has made a name for itself by reproducing a wide variety of classic historical firearms, particularly those of the American West. It's Silver Boy, chambered in .22 LR, is more of a re-envisioning, but it should catch your eye all the same.
Savage Arms brought out the Model 42, a gun that, like the Model 24, combines the utility of .22 –cal. rifle and .410-bore shotgun, but with a composite stock and fore-end at an economical price. For 2016 the company extended that line to include a takedown model. Learn more about it in this latest edition of NRA's Gun of the Week series, hosted by American Rifleman's Christopher Olsen.
At its introduction, Ruger’s Mark IV .22 Long Rifle pistol was offered in two models and three SKUs. The Target model, available in black or stainless, is the all-business, utilitarian descendent of Bill Ruger’s Standard model rimfire. But for American Rifleman’s Joe Kurtenbach, it’s the Hunter model that truly captures the spirit of Ruger’s original, and capitalizes on the platform’s evolution.
Winchester introduces the Wildcat, a striker-fired autoloading rimfire rifle that is a snap to clean because its lower receiver is easily removed from the upper with a push of a button; then hunters punch the bore by merely insert a cleaning rod through the rifle's rear access port, protecting the crown.
If it feels like everyone's getting into the suppressor market nowadays, it's because they are. SIG Sauer made waves by announcing a line of suppressors last year, and hot on the heels of that, we've now met the Silent-SR suppressor from Ruger. Wait, Ruger? Yes, you read that right.
Ruger's American Rifle found instant acclaim upon its release, and the company predictably has expanded its reach in the years since. Among the original additions to the American Rifle line was the Ruger American Rimfire.
