Wilson Combat is proud to introduce a new line of match grade replacement barrels for Remington 700 pattern actions, bringing the accuracy of a Wilson Combat rifle barrel to the bolt-action rifles hunters and shooters already own.

Each barrel is precision button rifled by Wilson Combat’s skilled barrelmakers from honed 416R stainless steel blanks, the proven standard for precision rifle barrels. The 416R is stress relieved at the mill, then each blank is stress relieved again after rifling, so every barrel is double stress relieved.

Every barrel follows the standard Remington factory contour from the shank forward, so it fits the stock or chassis the rifle already wears. It also fits high-performance synthetic replacement stocks with the factory contour and high-grade walnut custom stock blanks, with no inletting required.

Every barrel is finished the Wilson Combat way. The chamber is precisely cut and ready for final headspacing. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 TPI for a brake, flash hider or suppressor, and finished with a precision recess crown. The exterior is polished to a clean, satin finish, or it can be ordered in Armor-Tuff® for a durable, low-glare finish ideal for hard field use. The flared muzzle is engraved with the caliber, twist rate and the Wilson Combat eagle.

At launch, the barrels are offered in .308 Winchester with a 1:10 twist in a 20″ length, and in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 1:8 twist in 20″ and 22″ lengths. .25 Creedmoor and .22 Creedmoor are coming soon. Each barrel has an MSRP of $399.95. Gunsmith installation is required.

Waterfowl hunting doesn’t care how impressive a shotgun looks in the gun rack. When ducks start banking over the decoys, you need a gun that mounts naturally, swings smoothly and performs when the moment arrives. No spec sheet can pull the trigger for you. For Ballistic’s Best Hunting Edition 2026, three shooters put seven of today’s leading waterfowl shotguns through a hands-on evaluation designed to test how they perform when targets don’t follow a script.

This year’s lineup included the Winchester SX4, Browning A5, Mossberg 940 Pro, Beretta AX800 Suprema, Benelli Super Black Eagle 3, Franchi Affinity 3 and Stoeger M3500. The field covered a range of operating systems, features and price points, giving the team a very nice cross-section of modern duck guns.

Evaluators considered handling, fit, target acquisition, recoil, shooting performance and overall usability. With three shooters bringing different experience levels and preferences to the line, the test also highlighted an important truth: shotgun fit is personal, and the gun that works best for one hunter might not be the ideal choice for another.

The results? Seven capable shotguns, remarkably tight competition and very little room for a manufacturer to phone it in. Even small differences in handling and fit became meaningful when the team compared notes. No single feature guaranteed success, and a premium price tag didn’t automatically translate into a better experience.

The 2026 Ballistic’s Best Waterfowl Shotgun evaluation delivers a practical look at what these guns offer hunters beyond the marketing claims. Because when the birds are working, the wind is blowing and somebody yells “Take ’em,” you don’t need a shotgun that looks good on paper. Read more

Archery deer season is here, and rifle, shotgun, and muzzleloader deer seasons will be here before we know it. Whatever firearm is used, it is very important for the hunter to be confident with their abilities to hit a target accurately. To help ensure that you and your firearm are shooting accurately, Whitetails Unlimited has developed a Sight-In Target Initiative.

The Sight-In Target Initiative was created by Whitetails Unlimited to help ensure hunters and shooting enthusiasts are confident in their ability to shoot their firearm safely and accurately. The initiative consists of a shooting range sight-in kit that includes three 100-yard targets that measure 14 x 16 inches with 1-inch grids and a 6-inch center highlight ring, and a 10 Commandments of Firearm Safety poster. When sighting-in a firearm, follow all safety rules and handle all firearms as if they are loaded. Make sure the target has an adequate backstop and remember to wear eye and ear protection.

To order complimentary sight-in kits, call Whitetails Unlimited National Headquarters at 920.743.6777 or send an email to nh@whitetailsunlimited.com. Read more

Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the launch of the new Echelon® Pro Comp line of 9mm pistols. Available in 4.0C compact, 4.0FC hybrid and 4.5F full-size variants, these Echelon Pro pistols add a distinctive set of enhanced features to the modularity and adaptability that define the Echelon series.

The Echelon Pro Comp builds on the proven foundation of the fully ambidextrous Echelon platform with a performance-focused collection of features. Built around the same robust Central Operating Group® and Variable Interface System®, the Echelon Pro pairs a LightForged™ frame featuring aggressive Badlands texture with an integrally compensated slide assembly finished in Springfield Grey Cerakote®. A machined steel flared magwell, stainless steel guide rod, tritium front sight with an orange luminescent ring, and three included extended magazines round out the package.

The Echelon Pro’s LightForged Grip Texture uses precision lasers to sculpt and reform the surface of the grip module, creating a highly defined texture reminiscent of custom stippling with greater consistency and control. The process allows precise shaping of texture geometry and placement across the grip for a refined, repeatable surface with excellent traction and a premium feel. The Echelon Pro debuts this technology with the Badlands pattern, an aggressive “cracked-earth” texture engineered for confident grip and control.

The 4.0C compact model comes with three 18-round extended magazines, while the hybrid-sized 4.0FC (with a 4″ barrel and compact slide paired with a full-size grip module) and the 4.5F full-size each come with three 20-round extended magazines. The flared magwell is removable to allow the use of flush-fit magazines.

Like all Echelon pistols, the modular Echelon Pro Comp pistols’ serialized Central Operating Group allows for easily swapping out grip modules of differing colors and sizes. In addition, the Variable Interface System allows for the direct mounting of today’s most popular optics to the slide. All three variants feature an MSRP of $899.

“At its launch, the Echelon quickly established itself as a premier 9mm duty pistol with cutting-edge performance and a highly modular design,” said Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. “The new Echelon Pro takes that solid foundation and adds a wide range of performance-oriented enhancements to further expand this platform’s already impressive capabilities.”

Savage Arms®, an iconic firearm manufacturer, has expanded its REVEL series with the introduction of the REVEL Tactical, a modern lever-action rifle designed for versatility and performance. This new model joins the existing REVEL Classic and REVEL DLX, offering shooters enhanced features tailored for tactical applications.

The REVEL Tactical is equipped with an MDT Tactical stock, providing enhanced grip touchpoints for improved handling. Its smooth lever action ensures reliable cycling, while the one-piece Picatinny rail facilitates the attachment of various optics and accessories. The rifle features an 18-inch medium-profile barrel with a 1/2″x28 threaded muzzle, accommodating suppressors and other muzzle devices.

“The REVEL Tactical represents the next evolution of our REVEL platform, combining the timeless appeal of a lever-action rifle with the modern features today’s shooters demand,” said Beth Shimanski, Vice President of Marketing at Savage Arms. “From its customizable fit and accessory-ready design to the smooth action Savage is known for, the REVEL Tactical delivers the versatility, reliability and performance needed for everything from range days to small-game hunting and recreational shooting.”

Derya Arms (South Derya Corp.), an international firearms manufacturer with production operations in Jacksonville, Florida and Konya, Türkiye, today expanded its EX imported shotgun line with the EX1400 Coach — an 18-inch 12-gauge side-by-side in the classic coach-gun pattern. It joins the existing 24-inch EX1400 field gun and ships now through Derya’s authorized dealer network nationwide at a $699 MSRP.

EX is the designation for Derya’s imported shotguns — built in Türkiye and exported to the United States. Every traditional Derya shotgun in the U.S. catalog carries the EX prefix. The EX1300 over/under and the original EX1400 side-by-side opened that line. The Coach expands the EX1400 itself: same receiver, shorter barrels, extra grip in the box.

A coach gun is not a shortened field gun with a different sticker. It is a side-by-side cut to work from a cramped box. Wells Fargo shotgun messengers rode the seat next to the driver with a short double — 18 to 24 inches of barrel, two charges of buckshot, no time to swing a long gun off a bouncing stage. That job is where “riding shotgun” comes from. The same shape still earns its keep: Cowboy Action stages, a truck or boat where a 26-inch barrel hangs up, brush and scrub too tight for a field gun, and a hallway where two fast barrels and a break-open action are the whole instruction manual.
