There are essentially three definitions of the scout rifle. First, there’s Col. Jeff Cooper’s definition, which is largely credited for setting the parameters of such a firearm. The popular definition, meanwhile, is any bolt-action rifle with an extended-eye-relief scope. And finally, there’s the definition(s) conjured by everyone else. The Mossberg MVP Scout clearly meets the last two.

Hornady’s ELD-X is the most significant advancement in bullet technology since bonding.

Richard Mann takes a look at a bullet that's just as unusual as the 11-point buck he once harvested with it.

Some argue that .223 Rem. is not adequate for deer. They say the bullet is too small and the cartridge lacks power. They also claim it is not legal in most states. Factually speaking, they are wrong on all accounts. With the right bullet, .223 Rem. can drive to 20-plus inches and expand to double diameter. And, in the states that allow rifles for deer hunting, only eight do not permit the use of the .223 Rem. As far as the “right bullet” goes, one of the best .223 Rem. loads for deer is the 62-grain Federal Fusion.

Hornady's FTX bullets revolutionized ammunition offerings for lever-action rifles.

Designed to be accurate, damage plenty of tissue and cost less than the popular Partition, Nosler's Ballistic Tip line was introduced in 1984.

Today we’re seeing renewed interest in scout rifles. Steyr, Mossberg, Ruger, and Savage all offer commercial interpretations of the scout. But, are these modern renditions of Cooper’s general-purpose carbine suitable for big game hunting?

The Barnes Triple-Shock is a very misunderstood bullet. Let Richard Mann explain in this latest edition of "Bullet Biographies."

Hunting bullets don't hang around for 30 years if they don't work. Case in point: the Hornady InterLock.
