The Genesis Classic combines a state-of-the-art, stainless steel action and barrel with a beautiful, handcrafted English walnut stock. Final inletting, shaping, and sanding is done by hand to ensure a perfect fit between wood and metal. The stocks are checkered by hand and finished in a durable, deep-penetrating, hand-rubbed oil. The stainless steel action and barrel are coated in a rust-proof, gloss-black Cerakote finish that gives the rifle a classic appearance. Each rifle is aluminum pillar- and glass-bedded into the stock and is guaranteed to shoot half-inch groups at 100 yards with factory ammunition. Availability is limited to just 20 rifles each year. www.hillcountryrifles.com. BARRETT SOVEREIGN The Barrett name is synonymous with fine firearms, particularly rifles for long-range shooting.

GASTON GLOCK NOBLE HUNTING JACKET One's hunting coat is more than a mere garment; it's a companion. And when you find that perfect match, it's usually a fit for life. Recently, I had the opportunity to field-test the Noble Hunting Jacket by Gaston Glock. No doubt it is one of the finer heavier garments I've ever worn. Made from Harris Tweed, the jacket's wool is tightly woven, creating a breathable and waterproof, yet very warm and noiseless jacket. A satiny interior lining adds to its comfort and an adjustable drawstring and straight cut through the torso create a less bulky silhouette than traditional heavy wool coats. The unique tweed pattern presents a very natural camouflage, while the loden trim and elbow patches, and stag head buttons give the garment an elegant, sporting look. In or out of the field, the Noble is a hunting jacket as stylish as it is functional. It has plenty of pockets, and a pouch in the back perfect for a brace of grouse or the morning's paper.
