Can a rifle really be optimized for hunting and home defense, at the same time? Yes, you can have the best of both worlds.

CMMG has announced the release of its new MkW Anvil, a mid-sized AR rifle platform chambered in .458 SOCOM. The MkW Anvil is engineered to handle calibers with large casing diameters like, as you might imagine (given the name), .458 SOCOM.

The Sharps Rifle Company (SRC) developed the .25-45 Sharps cartridge and introduced it in 2012. Not to be confused with Shiloh Sharps—a company that makes historically correct blackpowder cartridge rifles—SRC is for all practical purposes built around this one cartridge, which is designed to replicate .250 Savage ballistics in an AR-15. Four years after its introduction, most hunters have never heard of the .25-45 Sharps. That’s about to change.

Savage enters the “black rifle” market with its MSR-15 and MSR-10.

CMMG has expanded its MkW Anvil lineup with the addition of three new rifles chambered in 6.5 Grendel. The arrival of 6.5 Grendel models comes less than a year after the introduction of MkW Anvil platform, initially chambered in .458 SOCOM.

Fitting of its name, the Minimalist is a svelte AR with just enough features to make it eminently practical in the woods. Weighing 6 pounds, it’s lighter than almost any centerfire bolt-, lever- or pump-action rifle you’ll see at deer camp.

Bushnell has increased its offering of AR Optics, with two new riflescopes for 2020.

Butler Creek has begun shipping the company's new Featherlight sling to retail partners, and has made it available for purchase on the company's website.
