The industry's hottest new releases were on display at SHOT Show 2016 last month. Here's our roundup of some of the year's top new rifle offerings.

John Rigby & Co. donates a breathtaking, commemorative .275 Rigby Jim Corbett Rifle inspired by the rifle presented to Corbett in gratitude for shooting the man-eating tigress of Champawat, India, in 1907 by Sir John Hewett, then lieutenant governor of the United Provinces.
