The best Chiappa guns are some of the most unusual firearms you can buy. The Italian company is famous for the Rhino, a revolver that fires from the bottom chamber of the cylinder, and it also builds tiny single-shot Badgers, lever guns based on the Model 1892, and rimfire rifles with a classic look. We [...]

The best Springfield Armory rifles cover more ground than most shooters realize. Springfield is famous for the M1A and the Hellcat, but its long gun lineup now runs from the SAINT family of AR-15s and AR-10s to the Hellion bullpup, a retro SA-16A2 and the Model 2020 bolt action rifles built for hunters, from the [...]

The Ruger Mini-14 Ranch is the old-school 5.56 NATO rifle that refused to disappear. After decades of love, hate, and accurate jokes, the newer Ranch Rifle showed up ready to rewrite some history.

The Henry .45-70 is an heirloom-grade lever action with brass-frame swagger, side-gate loading, and enough thump to make bear country feel a little more negotiable. It is cowboy nostalgia with modern teeth, and yes, wagon train is still not included.

The Springfield Armory SA-16A2 is not just another retro AR15 trying to cash in on nostalgia. It is a smooth, iron-sighted 5.56 NATO rifle that reminds you why the M16A2 still deserves respect, range time, and a spot on your bucket list.

The Benelli Lupo Alpha looks like an Italian design team got loose with a CAD file and a bottle of Pinot Grigio, but this 5.73-pound hunting rifle flat-out performs. It is light, slick, weatherproof, and with the right load, it shoots tiny groups that make the futuristic stock a lot easier to love.

The best SIG Sauer rifles cover more ground than most people realize. SIG builds value AR-15s, piston-driven MCX rifles, the MPX pistol-caliber carbine, AR-10 pattern .308s, and the Cross bolt action that folds in half for the trail. That range makes it hard to know where to start. Our writers have put a lot of [...]

The Springfield Armory SAINT Victor 9mm PDW stuffs compact firepower, suppressor-ready utility, and familiar AR controls into a 5.5-inch package that is easier to carry than it has any right to be. After match use, suppressed shooting, and accuracy testing, this little blaster proved it is more than a range toy.

The SIG Sauer M400 Forge looks like somebody accidentally stuffed a premium parts list into a $999 rifle and sent it out the door. With a hammer forged barrel, TriggerTech trigger, Romeo MSR Gen II, and thoughtful details most rifles in this class do not even flirt with, this one lands like a direct shot at the entire value AR-15 market.
