“rifles”

Get a closer look at the new lightweight Fieldcraft rifle that Barrett announced at the 145th NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits.

A lot of folks know Daniel Defense for its popular tactical rifle lines—and we don't blame anyone for that. Hunters, though, will know more about Daniel Defense before long. For 2016, the company is rolling out its new Ambush hunting line, which will initially be chambered in .308. Kryptek and Realtree patterns will be available.

SilencerCo had some of its new wares on display at the 145th Annual Meetings and Exhibits. Chief among them was the Hybrid.

In reviewing "bargain" bolt-action rifles for American Rifleman, Managing Editor Joe Kurtenbach couldn’t help but think that, much like a stripped AR, these guns may make great foundations for personalized rifle builds. To test the theory, he purchased his own bargain-bin bolt gun and set a goal to build a precision hunting rifle.

The first step of a Precision Hunter build is to choose a caliber capable of the name. For that, American Rifleman's Joe Kurtenbach selected one of his favorite cartridges—the 6.5 Creedmoor.

Troy Defense’s Model SPAR-S3F-18MT-01 is a 50-state legal pump-action rifle that mimics the design and features commonly found on today’s popular AR-10 rifles. It feeds from SR25 magazines and is chambered for the hefty, but fun to shoot, .338 Fed. cartridge.

Success of the AR platform with the consumer market led to the birth of a cartridge that utilizes a .30-cal. bullet and is designed for use with AR-15-style rifles and pistols, the .300 Blackout. SIG Sauer, for one, has met the growing .30-cal. demand, developing a line of rifles dedicated to .300 Blackout. Meet the SIGM400 Predator.

When most hunters think about rifles from Kimber, the first thing that comes to mind is usually price, which is typically several hundred dollars above a grand. But the latest rifle from Kimber, the Model 84M Hunter, isn't a typical offering from the company.

Kimber rolled out a bevy of new rifle offerings at SHOT Show 2017's Industry Day at the Range.
