“short action”

Get a closer look at the Howa M1500 Super Lite, the latest addition to our #SundayGunday series.

Accuracy doesn’t have to be heavy.

Both the .308 Winchester and .270 Winchester are popular chamberings, and ammo is readily available from nearly every manufacturer. Which comes out on top? We take a closer look at the pros and cons of each.

Not all magnum cartridges bear the name, but still meet all the criteria for the title. Here’s a look at five of the best.

Dennis Bradley puts two varminting favorites up against each other—the speedy .22-250 Rem., and ubiquitous .223 Rem.

Introduced in 1965, the .350 Remington Magnum could be considered the original short magnum. Using the belted Holland & Holland case responsible for so many excellent designs from the 40s, 50s and 60s, but shortened to be wedged into a short-action magazine, the .350 Magnum would mimic the performance of the .35 Whelen.

Among the lightest hunting rifles on the market, the Super Lite lives up to its name with a mere 4-pound, 7-ounce weight. This is aided by its lightweight Stocky's stock and a unique action that sits between the Howa Mini Action and Short Action in terms of size.

Contributor Dennis Bradley compares the .243 Winchester and 6mm Creedmoor, in an effort to dispel a few popular myths surrounding the "inherent accuracy" of certain cartridges.

Between the 6.5 PRC and 6.8 Western, which is the better choice for the hunter? Contributor Philip Massaro examines the pros and cons of each.
