Lightweight AR-15 Carbines: We Test Guns from Bushmaster, DPMS
Need a handy, dependable rifle for self-defense? Want a lightweight gun that won't stretch your arms? In this test, you can pick either gun and come out with a winner.
Light & Lighter: The Carbon 15 Packs A Wallop Without Heft
At 4.3 pounds, Professional Ordnance's Carbon 15 is the lightest AR15, and it's a very good one. Bushmaster's lightest rifle, the XM15-E2S, is also worth a close look.
Tested: A Trio of Big-Game Busters in .375 H&H Magnum
Ruger's Magnum takes the cake as a dangerous-game gun, and we also like Sako's 75 Hunter. Pass on the Winchester Model 70 Safari Express.
