Newest Hot Rod On The Drag Strip: Nosler Model 48 Long Range Carbon Chambered In 27 Nosler Reviewedby Riley Baxter |

When choosing a hunting rifle, caliber is an important criteria. Hunting in the west, I want something that can take down deer, elk, black bear, moose, and anything else that I may go out after. Because of the terrain, I also need a caliber that will retain energy to take game at distances beyond 500 yards.

Best Big Game Cartridge: Big and Hard-Hitting, or Small and Sweet Shooting?by Aram Von Benedikt |
Smaller calibers and cartridges kick less. They tend to be accurate and are certainly easier to shoot well. Loaded with a premium bullet they penetrate deeply and create a devastating wound channel. They do everything a big, hard-kicking caliber can do, right?

Gear Review: Kestrel Monopod, A Must-Have Glassing Toolby Levi Sim |
The real genius of the Kestrel is its floating carriage. The frame your binos mount to is suspended on the shock cord that runs through the poles. That means that you can freely slide the binos up and down the pole. The shock cord takes all the weight off the binos so that they feel weightless in your hands.
