| ARTICLE: Rifles Ready for All 50 States: Springfield, Troy and Uintah, June 2018 | ||
| Uintah Precision UPR-10 Bolt AR-10 Upper 6.5 CM, $1295 | B+ | Capable of very good accuracy, this was a dream upper in need of a little refinement. |
| ARTICLE: Threaded-Barrel Bolt Guns in 300 Blackout and 308 Win., May 2018 | ||
| Ruger American Rifle Ranch 06968 300 Blackout, $420 | A- | Shot well both suppressed and unsuppressed. Short length would make it handy. |
| Remington Model 700 SPS-T 84205 300 Blackout, $680 | A- | Shot well in 300 BLK supersonic and subsonic. Pair it with an AR-15 in 300 BLK for extra value. |
| Savage Arms 10PT-SR 22356 308 Winchester, $550 | B+ | Good build. It did shoot sub-MOA with one round. We loved the bolt handle and the AccuTrigger. |
| ARTICLE: Bolt-Action Hunting Rifles for Compact and Youth Shooters, March 2018 | ||
| CZ-USA CZ 527 Youth Carbine 03050 7.62x39mm, $650 | A-/B+ | Grade A- for adults; Grade B+ for youths. A tool we would trust to work over a lifetime of hard use. |
| Browning A-Bolt Micro Hunter 035020216 7mm-08 Rem., $578 | A-/C+ | Grade A- for adults; Grade C+ for youths. Probably too much rifle and recoil for the youngest shooters. |
| Savage Axis II Compact Muddy Girl 22230 243 Winchester, $490 | B/A | Grade B for adults; Grade A for youths. Clear winner as a youth rifle, especially for young ladies. |
| ARTICLE:Options in Precision Rifle: We Test Desert Tech, Howa, Ruger, November 2017 | ||
| Desert Tech SRS-A1 6.5 Creedmoor, $4495 | A | Test results proved the SRS-A1 is at the top of the rifle-quality pyramid. |
| Ruger Hawkeye Mark IV VT 17980 6.5 Creedmoor, $1139 | B+ | Rough bolt action, but in terms of accuracy, the Hawkeye deserved an A. |
| Legacy Sports Howa HCR 6.5 Creedmoor, $1450 | C | The HCR should grade higher based on its ergonomics and simplicity. |
| ARTICLE:All-Round 308 Winchester Rifle Shoot-Out: Not Our Faves, October 2017 | ||
| Remington Model 700 SPS Tactical 85538 308 Win., $600 | B+ | This short rifle isn’t the most accurate, but the overall handling is superb. |
| Remington Model 700 SPS Varmint 84218 308 Win., $606 | B+ | Hard to find a production rifle that is capable of greater practical accuracy than the SPS Varmint. |
| Savage Axis 19223 308 Winchester, $240 | C | Accuracy wasn’t the best. The rifle was dogged by a heavy trigger that we chose to fix. |
| ARTICLE: 308 Winchester Bolt-Actions: Remington’s M783 Rifle Wins, March 2017 | ||
| Remington 783 85847 308 Winchester, $340 | A | Best Buy. This was the most accurate rifle tested, and there were no demerits to topple the 783. |
| Remington 700 SPS 85538 308 Winchester, $655 | A- | If you’re looking for a maneuverable choice, there are few that are nearly as handy as this one. |
| Savage Axis XP 19231 308 Winchester, $390 | B | Accuracy wasn’t the best, but accuracy was acceptable with the provided Weaver riflescope. |
| Mossberg 100 All-Terrain Rifle 27230 308 Win., $200 (Used) | C | The rifle did not misfeed. We liked the cheek rest. The primary problem was accuracy. |
| ARTICLE: Mid-Caliber Bolt-Action Rifles From T-C, Browning, and CZ USA, February 2017 | ||
| Thompson Center Compass 10071 22-250 Remington, $399 | A | Simple, straightforward, and inexpensive. Delivered sub-minute-of-angle groups with all rounds tested. |
| Browning X-Bolt Micro Midas 035346209 22-250 Rem., $860 | B+ | This is a super-handy rifle for the whole family, and it can fit just about anywhere. |
| CZ USA 557 Sporter Short Action 04806 243 Winchester, $792 |
B+ | The 557’s refined looks belied its rugged durability, but its heavier weight did not seem to tame recoil. |
| Legacy Sports Howa Mini Action HMA90622MCC+ 6.5 Grendel, $855 |
C | This otherwise top-grade rifle was spoiled by weak magazine retention. |
| ARTICLE: We Like Ruger’s Enhanced 6.5 Creedmoor Precision Rifle, November 2016 | ||
| Ruger Precision Rifle 18008 6.5 Creedmoor, $1599 | A | This is another solid effort by Ruger. They took an already good gun and made it a touch better. |
| ARTICLE: Classy European Bolt Guns: Mauser M12 and Blaser R8 Pro, September 2016 | ||
| Blaser R8 Professional 30-06 Springfield, $3787 | A- | The R8 was pricey, but it offered interchangeable barrels, a safe firing system, and good accuracy. |
| Mauser M12 30-06 Springfield, $1799 | A- | The M12 performed well and had a smoothly operating bolt, but the wood looked dated. |
| ARTICLE: New 308 Win. Bolt Guns: Howa, Mossberg Square Off, July 2016 | ||
| Mossberg MVP Long Range (LR) 27697 7.62 NATO/308 Win., $945 | A- | The MVP LR is well suited as an entry-level rifle for long-range shooting. |
| Howa Alpine Mountain Package HMR33143+VX 308 Win., $1577 | B+ | Lightweight and accurate, but we thought the mag release may be an issue for some hunters. |
| ARTICLE: 308 Win. Bolt Guns: Ruger’s Precision Rifle vs. Tikka T3 CTR, April 2016 | ||
| Ruger Precision Rifle 18001 308 Win., $1399 | A | Out of the box, this is an easy-to-shoot rifle that is very accurate for the price point. |
| Tikka T3 CTR 308 Winchester, $950 | A- | If you want a rifle to both hunt and do long-range shooting, then the CTR would be a good choice. |
| ARTICLE: 6.5 Creedmoor Bolt Action Rifle Comparison, January 2016 | ||
| Savage Arms Model 12 LRP 19137 6.5 Creedmoor, $1252 | A | The Model 12 LRP shot the smallest groups of the test with every round we tried. |
| Ruger Precision Rifle 18005 6.5 Creedmoor, $1399 | A- | Adjustability and AR-15 ergonomics make this rifle appealing and easy to shoot. |
| Howa 24-Inch HB 6.5 Creedmoor, HKF92507KH+AB $1000 |
B+ | Many of the benefits of a heavy-caliber hunting rifle with very little of the punishing abuse. |
| ARTICLE: How About a Krag-Jorgensen?, September 2015 | ||
| Krag 1898 Springfield 30-40 Krag, ~$1500 | A | It worked well in its day, and good examples still do today, with a fine inner beauty. |
| ARTICLE: 338 Win. Mag. Bolt-Action Duo: Henriksen Versus Winchester, July 2015 | ||
| Iver Henriksen Mauser 98 338 Winchester Magnum, ~$5000 | A | Classic lines in the Elmer Keith style, the Henriksen 338 is an impressive rifle. |
| Winchester Modified Model 70 338 Winchester Magnum, $1390 | A | Originally an A- in Dec. 2012; upgrades from a 375 H&H Model 70 raised its performance. |
