Mossberg’s popular budget priced but value packed Patriot Synthetic rifle is available with carbine length, threaded, barrels for suppressed hunting (16.25 to 20 inches) scaled for eight different calibers. At a $515 MSRP, it offers an impressive list of features you wouldn’t expect at this price point including an...
The HIT Pro is Seekins’ latest release, barely a year old at the time of publication. The company hit the drawing board again, learning from its previous Havak line of rifles, which we reviewed in the 2019 Ballistic’s Best. The Havak HIT is innovative just like its predecessor and...
The long-awaited heavy hitter from Sig is here. It’s long-awaited because it was always in the plan for the Cross to go beyond the lightweight, do-all, go-everywhere rifle that it has been. When the base Cross hit the market, it took many by surprise, and more and more people...
X marks the spot, and this Browning is spot on in many ways. Featuring a beefed-up action and bolt it’s likely the unlikely candidate in this group. A lightweight in this collection, it features a fluted barrel with Browning’s Recoil Hog muzzle brake and an action with a very...
I’m just going to say it up front: The HTR is the “old school” rifle of the group. Culminating success in the ’90s, it looks and feels it, but don’t mistake those as negative points. The simple fact is that the recipe that H-S Precision has whipped up in...
Altus Shooting Solutions out of Florida is an amazing shooting venue. They host some of the nation’s best competitions for rifle and pistol, as well as host top-tier operator training that we can’t have more details on. They also make incredible rifles out of their custom shop and we...
Coming in at the opposite end of the H-S Precision is Cadex’s brand-new Seven S.T.A.R.S. rifle. It’s literally the Ferrari of this group and not only due to the speed red color of its chassis. The Cadex is polarizing. When you see it, you can’t look away. You are...
Boring rifles out of Utah has been making waves as of late. They are custom-shop rifles and made to be accurate from jump. Utilizing a Kelbly’s action, our test sample came with a CF barrel that apparently is wrapped by the builder. This barrel is attractive and garnered opinions...
The Sabatti made the trip from Italy to compete with some fine rifles. Italians are known for some amazing styling and refinement, but that didn’t seem to make it into the Sabatti. While Kendl loved the styling (she’s an AR person), Tom and I just couldn’t come to complete...
Winchester gives off an appreciable “old school” vibe with a beefy stock produced by Grayboe stocks. It looks beefy and stout, a match for the fluted bolt, but it’s betrayed by the thin-ish profile barrel on this Renegade Long Range SR model.
We confused it with a more hunting-focused platform...
