Built on an AR15 upper and fed a mix of Nosler, Hornady, Federal, and ACC, this 6.5 Grendel setup shoots laser-flat, hits like it should on pigs and deer, and keeps recoil tame so you can watch impacts.

There are more guns that fold in half now than ever before. Folding guns are typically handy little things that thrive in how compact they can become. 

The Hatch Outwest High Country Lite squeezes roughly 20 inches of usable height into a roughly 15-ounce hunting bipod. After seated shots at 475 yards and prone shooting past 1,000, the bigger question is whether that versatility is worth nearly $500.

The Seekins Element Hunter M3 in 7 PRC weighs just 6 lbs, folds down for mountain travel, and printed a .264 MOA group with factory ammunition. After long-range steel, a 680-yard coyote, and plenty of miles in the mountains, this rifle has become exactly what I hoped an ultralight hunting rifle could be.

If you’ve ever been on a spot-and-stalk or a long hunt toting a rifle without a sling you have probably found yourself realizing just how useful they can be. Check out our top five deer rifle sling picks.

The Smith & Wesson Model 1854 drags the classic .44 Magnum lever gun into the modern era with a threaded barrel, optic rail, M-LOK slots, and suppressor-ready performance. It also delivered sub-inch groups, ran without a mechanical failure, and put 10 rounds on steel in 5.5 seconds.

The Nocpix RICO 3 PRO H50R brings reliable autofocus, intuitive ocular zoom, and sharp 640 thermal imaging into one premium hunting optic. We ran it through hot, wet nights, hammered hogs, doubled on coyotes, and found technology that actually made the hunt easier.

It took me a few years to warm up to the 300 BLK cartridge after SAAMI blessed the round in 2011. The 300 BLK has been around for a lot longer.
