Dear INSIDERs,

What happens when you put several of the outdoor industry's top brands together for a night in the South Texas brush? Well, you get one hell of a story.

Our writer Brian McCombie headed south to put the Marlin Mad Pig 1894 in .357 Magnum to work alongside a few of our INSIDER brands. His setup included a Nocpix BOLT-L35R thermal scope, Dead Air's Mojave 45 suppressor and Federal Premium HammerDown ammunition.

But this wasn't exactly a walk in the park. Between lightning rolling in from the Gulf, brutal South Texas heat and a couple of hog encounters, Brian got a true field test of how the rifle and gear performed when it mattered.

Magnum Research's .50 AE Desert Eagle has never been subtle. A factory-threaded barrel makes the DE50THR even more intriguing—but 60 unsuppressed rounds revealed which details impressed and which ones wore out their welcome.

Some gifts are made to be admired. These are made to be fired, carried and put through their paces. Explore Christmas gifts for shooters who would rather make range memories than let good gear spend years in the gun safe.

Lightning, brutal heat and brush-thick recoveries turn a South Texas hog hunt into a hard test of the Marlin Mad Pig 1894, a Nocpix thermal and a Dead Air suppressor.

Thanks to our H&B INSIDER program, every month we round up the biggest savings on pistols, rifles, optics, ammo, and suppressors so you don't have to.
