Gunwerks The new Magnus long-range shooting system was designed to offer the ultimate shot sequence, from trigger break to follow-through. Advanced design techniques and rapid prototyping enabled the Gunwerks engineering team to strategically test at every stage of development. The result is the perfect long-range rifle stock. Four areas offer unique engineering enhancements. The grip positions the hand perfectly for a precise trigger break; the toe line prevents the stock from dropping on the bag under recoil; the negative comb reduces muzzle rise and pulls away from the face under recoil; and the true flat forend is more stable on a front rest and reduces torque. Pairing the new Magnus stock with the all-new GLR action, a 4G barrel contour, and lightweight stock fill, the rifle's weight and handling before and after recoil offers unmatched, long-range precision, and sight picture follow-through.

Hill Country Rifle Company The Carry Weight .375 Cheytac custom long-range rifle is built for a very small segment of the bolt-action market and recently hit a 36-inch target from a remarkable distance of 3,800 yards. The rifle weighs only 12½ pounds without scope. The rifle is built on a Stiller action and features a Benchmark 27-inch fluted barrel, Jewell trigger, highly customized McMillan stock, and a Miller prone-position muzzle brake. Hill Country Rifles is best known for accurate hunting rifles and that's still its main purpose. Visit www.hillcountryrifles.com. Holland & Holland The venerable British gunmaker introduced the magazine rifle around the turn of the 20th century. The .375 belted cartridge, first offered in 1912, is still a prominent caliber. Holland & Holland began to explore a belted version of the flanged .500/465 double-rifle cartridge that would be suitable for magazine bolt-action rifles. The cartridge is now in the lineup of calibers offered by the company. The new .465 is based on standard Holland & Holland design principles to ensure smooth feed and easy extraction. The .465 belted uses the same 480-grain bullet as the flanged version, with a muzzle velocity of 2,375 feet per second and is capable of 200-yard shots due to its flat trajectory. Holland's New York gunroom has a newly manufactured rifle chambered for the cartridge. Weighing 10 pounds, 4 ounces, it's built on a square bridge, Mauser-type action with a 24-inch barrel, and features highly figured Turkish walnut. Visit hollandandholland.com.
