We cover our fair share of adventure hunts here at American Hunter, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a North American adventure that rates quite like an fly-in bear hunt. And that's exactly what Web Managing Editor Shawn Skipper had the opportunity to do over Memorial Day weekend. Armed with a Savage Arms Model 11 Hog Hunter and .338 Federal cartridges from Federal Premium's Fusion line, he set out to tag his first-ever bruin. Get an inside look at his hunt—which featured a little fishing, too—with this gallery.

Savage Arms has officially announced the release of six new rifle models, all chambered in .338 Federal. The new chambering will be available in the majority of the company's most popular big game rifle platforms.

The new Savage A17 uses a delayed blowback action. A small bar in the top of the bolt slides up to fit into a slot in the receiver when the bolt is closed, locking the action. The bar cams back down upon firing to release the bolt and allow the action to cycle, but it delays the action from opening until pressure has dropped to a manageable level.

Savage Arms has announced the release of its new Model 112 Magnum Target, designed to offer shooters with an affordable .338 Lapua Mag. target rifle. The 112 Magnum Target is ready to go, and is on its way to Savage distributors nationwide now.

Stevens has announced that it will be adding four new 20-gauge models to its 320 line—two field grade versions, and two home-defense models.
