Ruger Mini-14


The Mini-14 has been around since 1973 and was developed with the help of James Sullivan of AR-15 fame. The Mini-14 is a scaled-down version of the M-1 Garand action and feeds from a detachable box magazine. These rifles are lightweight at just over six pounds, compact, handy and reliable. More recent examples are more accurate than their predecessors and offer additional features such as scope mounts. The Mini-14 has seen worldwide use by security forces and remains one of my favorite truck guns here at home.. #RugerMini14 #Mini14Rifle #RugerFirearms #HuntingRifles #HuntingWithRuger #CompactRifles

Bergara B-14 When this rifle made a splash in America, gun-counter savants were wont to call it “the rifle the Remington 700 should have been.” Blasphemous though that may be to Remington disciples, the fact is the B-14 is an exceptional rifle and has garnered several national awards. Patterned much like the M700, it has a better extractor and bolt release. Manufactured in Bergara, Spain, the B-14 has quickly garnered a reputation for superb accuracy, thanks to the unrelenting quality of Bergara barrels. This reputation is supported by a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. Versions range from true mountain rifles to heavy, configurable PRS competition guns. There’s even a B-14 R rimfire PRS-type training rifle. The $865 B-14 Ridge model shown here won the NRA Golden Bullseye Best Rifle award in 2018. It has a threaded muzzle, a composite stock with soft-touch finish, and integral epoxy-pillar bedding. It’s an excellent all-around hunting rifle that won’t let you down..

Henry Rimfire Lever Action It can be a challenge to find products made entirely in the U.S. these days but Henry prides itself in that fact. Among its wide variety of lever-action rifles, the rimfire models stand out. These are guns for the entire family that can be used to teach safe and responsible use as well as put meat on the table. Over 1 million Henry .22s have been sold, which is a testament to their quality and reputation. Lever-action Henrys feed from a tubular magazine and are built with traditional walnut and blued steel. Light, handy and capable, this is a rifle that should probably be in everyone’s collection.

Remington Model Seven When I worked behind a gun counter, probably I sold more Model Sevens than all of my colleagues combined. The Model Seven is essentially a shortened 700 action that maintains virtually all of its virtues. These little rifles prove that you don’t need a magnum-length barrel to have an effective hunting rifle. Compact, relatively light and portable, these rifles are just the ticket for hunting from tree stands, in timber or in thick brush. Though Model Sevens were chambered in everything from the 17 Remington to the 300 SAUM over the years, examples in .260, 6.5 Creedmoor and 7mm-08 are my personal favorites, particularly for whitetails..

Blaser R93 This is an unconventional design that could only come from Germany. The Blaser’s straight-pull bolt action is a marvel of Teutonic engineering, designed for extremely rapid shooting on driven game. The beauty of this rifle, though, is its versatility. Simply by swapping a few components, the R93 can be chambered for any cartridge ranging from .22 LR to .500 Jeffrey. A small take-down case can house the rifle along with an extra barrel or two, creating an incredibly versatile and convenient package for the international hunter. The R93 was replaced with the newer R8 a few years back, but remains a favorite for many.

Dakota Model 76 A few decades ago, a commercial airline pilot and custom gun enthusiast named Don Allen set out to build the finest rifle that he could. The Dakota Model 76 was the result. The Dakota was based on the legendary Pre-64 Winchester Model 70, with a couple of unique innovations thrown in. Unlike most production guns, Dakota 76s are machined from bar stock rather than forged or cast. The result is a graceful and reliable design for hunters who aren’t afraid to put their money where their mouth is. Jaw-dropped walnut is common on Dakotas and the fit and finish is on-par with all but the best custom gunmakers.
