The Impulse Mountain Hunter is a lightweight hunting rifle that features Savage’s Impulse action which is a straight pull bolt design on an aluminum receiver, AccuStock Technology, and a Proof Research carbon fiber barrel.

The mating of ballistics calculating programs and rangefinders may be the best pairing since PB&J. The Wise, “kill two birds with one stone” adage applies to this and Sig Sauer has executed it perfectly in the KILO8K-ABS.

Leupold has released a 2-10x extension of their fantastic Mark 5HD product line. This optic is designed to have a slim profile and low weight but doesn’t skimp on performance.

This year at SHOT Show, Bergara revealed three new rifles; the Ridge Carbon, HMR Carbon, and Crest. These new guns round out Bergara’s lineup by offering affordable, high-end hunting rifle options that are lightened up with the incorporation of carbon fiber in some way.

Last year, Savage released their new, lightning-fast straight-pull action called the Impulse. This year, we get several new products that feature the Impulse Action which includes the Impulse Mountain Hunter.

Leupold has stepped into the world of ballistic-rangefinding binoculars with their newly released BX-4 Range HD TBR/W. This binocular is a 10x42mm model that is exceptionally clear with a powerful rangefinding capability that has a maximum reflective range of 2600 yards.

The new upgrade to the M2 also includes a tweaked buttstock design featuring an extended AirTouch surface behind the trigger, aiding in grip with gloved hands in wet conditions.

This year at SHOT Show, ODIN Works gave us a look at two new products. One is the ARCA Bag, and the other is an unnamed bipod that is still in the prototype stage.

New for 2023 though, Fierce introduced their new MTN Reaper rifle at SHOT Show. This rifle is a tweaked version of their already proven Reaper line.
