Winchester 250th Ammo

This new ammo series from Winchester includes popular calibers and gauges wrapped in unique packaging that pays tribute not only to the revolutionary heroes who fought for America’s freedom, but to the hard-working men and women who have kept it running all these years.

HEVI-Shot HEVI-Hitter Ammo

We put HEVI-Shot’s new HEVI-Hitter layered-load shotgun shells through their paces. In short, they could be a revelation for duck hunters.

Barnes Harvest Face-Off Rifles

We put Barnes Harvest Collection ammo through an expensive NULA bolt gun and a more affordable Savage hunting rifle. Does an extra $2K make a difference downrange with top-tier ammo?

Langdon Tactical 1301 Shotgun

The Langdon Tactical Beretta 1301 semi-auto shotgun attempts something difficult: improving on a near perfect firearm. And it succeeds.

The super short Vudu 3-9x32 riflescope might just be the perfect optic, and it’s on sale right now! Check it out along with a pile of other great deals on guns, ammo, and optics.
