SHOT Show 2020: Bushnell Adds to AR Optics Line

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

First Look: Sightmark Element Mini Solar Red Dot Sight

Combining battery power with the in-field reliability of a solar cell, the Element Mini Solar, from Sightmark, is a red dot that has the option of running off a single CR2032 battery or solar energy.

TruGlo Introduces IGNiTE Red-Dot Sights

TruGlo’s new IGNiTE series of affordable red-dot sights provide users with a robust, reliable red-dot optic for fast target acquisition in close quarters.

Behind the Bullet: .224 Valkyrie

Based on the 6.8 SPC cartridge, the .224 Valkyrie is designed to give excellent long-range ballistics from an AR platform with little recoil. Loaded with 60- to 90-grain bullets, the cartridge makes a sound choice for deer and varmints alike.

Review: Big Horn Armory AR500 in .500 Auto Max

Chambered in the new big-bore .500 Auto Max cartridge, the Big Horn Armory AR500 is the most powerful AR-style rifle on the market today and contains a host of features big-game hunters will appreciate.

Review: Wilson Combat .300 HAM’R Cartridge

Wilson Combat’s new .300 HAM’R will do everything the .30-30 Winchester will do and more, but from an AR-15 platform.

Hardware: .224 Valkyrie

The list of advantages held by the .224 Valkyrie starts with ballistic performance that’s more like the .22-250 Rem. than the .223 Rem. Loaded with 60- to 90-grain bullets, the .224 Valkyrie was developed by Federal Premium to bring more power to the AR-15 platform.

Tactical to Practical: Hog Hunting With an AR-15

Are you new to hunting? Here’s why hogs are a great entry point to the sport, and why your current AR-15 is ideal for the task.

Review: Wilson Combat .458 HAM’R Ultimate Hunter

Chambered in Wilson Combat’s brand-new .458 HAM’R cartridge, the Ultimate Hunter was built from the ground up to be the hardest-hitting, most powerful AR-platform rifle on the market today.

Hardware: Bushmaster Minimalist-SD

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.
