Peak Refuel meals taste more like something from the kitchen than emergency rations from the bottom of a pack. After hauling them into Idaho’s backcountry, they proved simple, filling, and worth making room for on a hard hunt.

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 22 Creedmoor launches heavy .224 bullets fast, shoots brutally flat, bucks wind, and delivers almost no recoil. This former wildcat has become a serious option for predators, PRS competition, long-range steel, and even deer-sized game.

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.

The Browning X-Bolt Speed SR pairs a handy 20-inch suppressor-ready barrel with the hard-hitting 7mm PRC, then backs it up with repeatable sub-MOA accuracy at 100 and 300 yards.

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.

This wild game pot roast turns tough deer, elk, antelope, or bear shoulder into a tender Mother’s Day dinner that tastes like effort, love, and hunting-season strategy. Make it right, serve it hot, and bank a few points before Fall.
