In 2024, Smith & Wesson surprised the industry by launching an all-new lever-action rifle. Dubbed the Model 1854, the design was initially available in .44 Magnum only, but a couple of years on, several new models have been introduced. Watch our “American Rifleman Television” Rifleman Review segment above for a closer look at one of the latest designs, the Model 1854 Stealth Hunter. “It was 170 years after the company was founded in 1854 that Smith & Wesson came out with its Model 1854 lever-action rifle, and it made a big splash,” American Rifleman’s Brian Sheetz said. “The 1854 now…
On paper, shotgun patterns are deceiving. The pattern board reveals only a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional shot string, suggesting that all the pellets from a payload arrive simultaneously. Nothing could be further from the truth. As soon as pellets exit the shotgun muzzle, they begin to string out. Depending on the shot type, a shot string can be 12 to 15 feet long and three to four feet in diameter at 40 yards.So, you must think of your pattern as a comet, rather than a wall of shot, where the most spherical pellets arrive at the target first and…

On January 7th, 1558, Calais, the last English possession in France, was retaken by France, by troops under Duc de Guise. (The Pale of Calais had been an exclave and parliamentary borough of England across the Strait of Dover from 1347 to 1558.) The painting above, The Siege of Calais was completed by François-Édouard Picot in 1838. — January 7th, 1610, Galileo Galilei discovered the first three moons of Jupiter: Io, Europa and Ganymede. — And on January 7th, 1930, French physicist Marguerite Perey discovered Francium (Fr), the last naturally occurring element to be found. — Today’s feature article is a…
Next year, the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, and Winchester Ammunition is early out of the gate, announcing in late 2025 that it would honor the occasion with a special line of ammunition. “Since 1866, Winchester has been part of the American story—built on hard work, craftsmanship, and an unwavering spirit,” a recent press from Winchester Ammunition stated. “As we look ahead to America’s 250th anniversary, this special-edition ammunition celebrates the American worker.” The limited-edition cartridge boxes (seen above) depict hard-working farmers, factory assemblymen first responders and more. Nine collectible boxes—cartridges included—with 9 mm, .45 ACP and .30-’06 Sprg.…
I live in a part of the South known as the Pine Belt. Most of the public lands in this part of Mississippi and Alabama consist almost entirely of old-growth or managed pine stands. There’s a running joke that the deer in this area survive on a diet of pine cones. If you’ve ever hunted in some of these places, you might actually start to believe it. Unlike the big bucks of Mississippi’s delta or Alabama’s Black Belt, a mature buck down here might tip the scales at 160 pounds while sporting 115 inches of headgear, save the exceptions.Still, there’s…
BANISH Suppressors introduced its BANISH 556, a design the company claims is the most advanced 5.56 NATO/.223 Rem. suppressor on the market. This new hard-use suppressor is tailored for full-automatic and semi-automatic use and includes controlled-flow technology to mitigate back pressure while optimizing sound and flash suppression. “Everything we have learned about materials, manufacturing, and the dynamic movement of pressurized gas through suppressors has been leveraged in making the BANISH 556,” said Brandon Maddox, BANISH Suppressors Founder and CEO. “I challenged the design team to create a new 5.56 suppressor that offers best-in-class noise and flash reduction, low back pressure,…
On December 15, the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) announced the end of a controversial CWD control program: a sharpshooting initiative that involved baiting and spotlighting deer in areas where CWD has been detected. MDC Director Jason Sumners announced the news in an open letter.“As CWD has spread in Missouri over the last decade, MDC’s objective has been and continues to be to keep CWD infection rates low to protect the long-term health of the deer herd. This extensive undertaking can only be accomplished by working collaboratively with hunters and landowners,” he wrote. “At this time, MDC will be pausing…
