I fondly remember picking up my grandfathers old dusty, faded hunting magazines and reading about hunting rifles. Unless you were buying a rifle from Kenny Jarrett, or other custom builders, sub-MOA rifles were nary to be found. Sometime during the late 90’s or early 2000, factory rifles started to appear that could produce MOA results with factory ammunition. These days, companies guarantee MOA accuracy and owners seem to fly into a fit of panic if their new rifle fails to group 1.047 inches at 100 yards. I recently got to spend some time behind a Mossberg Patriot Predator rifle, chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, and had no problems hitting a 24-inch plate at 1,800 yards. How times have changed.

The Affordable Safari; Your African Dream Hunt, Part II
Updated: March 1, 2020This hunt was going to be from the Land Cruiser since there was no cover to even consider a stalk and the springbok was covering hundreds of yards each time we tried to get near it. After what seemed like an hour, Dolf decided it was time for me to use some of that ammunition.
MAUSER’S M18 RIFLE: Sub-MOA Accuracy in a Package Priced for the Masses
Updated: February 29, 2020When the Mauser M18 rifle was first introduced last year, reactions were predictably split. Some hunters immediately rushed out to buy one while some of the more stodgy types among us declared, “That’s not a Mauser – it’s a push feed!”

Benelli’s Lone Wolf: The LUPO Bolt-Action Rifle – Shot 2020
Updated: January 29, 2020The LUPO is designed to be great, starting from the bottom up. It is a modular chassis style hunting rifle. It is modular because it contains aspects of a typical hunting stock as well as a 7075 T6 Aluminum chassis that supports the action; and I assume that in the future, you can customize this configuration with other features that are soon to be released.
