The Savage Impulse Hog Hunter brings straight-pull speed, .308 Winchester punch, and a clever Hexlock bolt system into a rifle built for fast hog work. It is quick, strange, heavy, fun, and not without one big Texas-sized magazine complaint.

Best Lever-Action Ammo (2026): .30-30, .45-70 & .44 Mag Tested
The best lever-action ammo is built around one problem that has followed lever guns since the 1860s: the tubular magazine. Cartridges sit nose to primer in the tube, so pointed bullets can set off the round in front of them under recoil. That is why traditional .30-30, .44 Magnum, and .45-70 loads use round-nose or [...]
Father’s Day Gear Guide: Dad Stuff That Works
This Father’s Day gear guide skips the gimmicks and sticks to tested packs, tools, blades, lights, gloves, medical gear, and a dryfire training kit that actually work. If Dad shoots, travels, fixes things, or just likes being prepared, this list has teeth.
Federal 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak: A Faster Creedmoor Without a New Rifle
Federal’s 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak is not another new cartridge begging you to buy another rifle. It is a high-pressure Peak Alloy load that pushed a 130-grain bullet past 3,100 fps and made the 6.5 PRC look over its shoulder.
This 5.6-Ounce 6.5 Can Humiliated Bigger Cans
The Airlock Industries Zero Gravity 6.5mm is a five-inch titanium hunting suppressor that weighs almost nothing and somehow punches way above its size. In this Airlock Zero Gravity 6.5 review, the little Idaho-built can went head to head with bigger suppressors and made the scale, the rifle, and my ears agree.
Old School cool: Part 6 – Remington 760 and Marlin 444
The .444 Marlin and Remington 760 are not modern wonder rifles, and that is exactly why they matter. One brings big bore lever-action authority, the other brings pump-gun speed in 30-06, and both still make a hard case for old-school hunting skill.
Best Hunting Bipods (2026): Lightweight, Sitting & Budget
The best hunting bipod of 2026 is one you forget you are carrying until the moment you need it. Then it has to deploy fast, level the rifle on a sidehill, and hold steady while your heart is pounding and the animal is about to step into the timber. A bipod that weighs a pound [...]
Savage 110 KLYM V2: Proof Barrel, Real-World Groups
A 6.2-lb Savage 110 wearing carbon fiber in all the right places, including a Proof Research barrel, then casually stacking a 0.46-inch best group in 308 Win. If you have ever wished the 110 could go full mountain mode, this is it.
Cutting Edge Bullets: A Tribute to Mark Hampton
In a tribute to handgun hunter Mark Hampton, I use Cutting Edge Bullets to hunt in Mark’s honor.
Tested: Federal 7MM Backcountry
Federal’s all-new 7mm Backcountry cartridge is a high-pressure, high-velocity cartridge that promises remarkable speeds and accuracy from short-barreled rifles.
