Top 5 Backcountry Hunting Rifles

Here are five top-notch backcountry rifles, all of which are lightweight and superbly designed.

SHOT Show 2020: Federal Terminal Ascent Ammo

Federal’s new Terminal Ascent features a bonded construction that penetrates deep on close targets, while its patented Slipstream polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than comparable designs.

Hardware: 22 Nosler

The 22 Nosler carries more energy with less bullet drop to long-range prairie dogs and groundhogs.

Nosler Trophy Grade Rifle

Nosler’s M48 Trophy Grade Rifle features the company’s proprietary action and is guaranteed to shoot sub-MOA groups. At $1,745 it’s less than most custom rifles.

A New Ruling for the .30-06 Sprg.

Loaded with today’s 150-grain bullets, the .30-’06 Sprg. is ready for big game from antelope to elk.
