- Browning Auto 5. So forward thinking was John Browning’s long-recoil autoloader design that it took 50 years for any other American maker to come up with an autoloading design of his own.
- The Ruger 10/22. This is both the most popular .22 rimfire rifle in the world and, along with the AR-15, the most cobbled-on. A member of the class of 1964, the 10/22 began simply as a nicely designed semiauto rimfire with a magazine that actually fed and an attractive price.
- Remington Model 700. You could make a good case that this is the first modern bolt-action sporting rifle, because it was the first such gun that was designed for ease of manufacture with little or no hand-fitting.

We begin by equipping pis...

The accuracy scores are attained from the cumulative averages of the accuracy data generated by the team, but everything else is up to each tester. We grade on handling, accuracy, workmanship, aesthetics, ergon...
You’ll notice that our published report card grades don’t always translate to which guns win. That’s because the grades are not granular enough.

For our Great Buy award, we examine the value scores, but also how the gun’s other scores compare to ...
Despite our post-SHOT-show impressions, we are almost always surprised by the field of guns when we take roll call for the test.
