“sale”

Its about that time of year again. Christmas is around the corner, and many shoppers are poised to get a jump on their holiday purchases this upcoming Friday. If you have a hunter on your list, here are five sales to consider from across the hunting marketplace.

On safari in South Africa, the author’s plan for plains game—to have no plan at all—couldn’t have worked better. The plan for Cape buffalo, well, that’s another story.

This latest Member's Hunt comes from Stacy McCloud of Greeley, Colo.

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.  

In celebration of its 125th anniversary, Mauser has introduced a limited-edition series of the original Mauser 98 bolt-action rifle.

We’ve come to expect solid reliability from the Model 70 rifle, and the Extreme TrueTimber VSX MB doesn’t disappoint. It’s built for the backcountry and loaded with modern features like a threaded muzzle, fluted barrel, Cerakote finish and quality composite stock.

The Woodman Arms Patriot muzzleloader is light, short and easy to carry. It shoots extremely well and, with the closed breech, can be waterproofed to ensure it goes off every time. It’s accurate enough to manage the open country, light enough to climb mountains and small enough to handle well in a deer blind.

Starting at 12:00 p.m. EST on Thurs., Oct. 13, the limited-edition Henry rifles will be available exclusively through Henry Repeating Arms’ website, while supplies last.
