Yep, you got it — they’re all integrally suppressed guns that were designed with built-in suppressors. Standalone suppressors are much more common.

The 20 gauge shotgun rarely gets the love it deserves. Too often, its more famous cousin, the 12 gauge, steals the shooting spotlight. However, modern advances in shot technology have narrowed the gap between these two popular scatterguns. With suitable loads, the 20 gauge offers plenty of firepower in a lightweight, milder recoiling package.

The 20-gauge is no longer a “settle-for” option relegated to young hunters. More and more shooters are making the…

New materials, enhanced ergonomics, and original combinations of pre-existing features and components denote new generations of long-trusted designs. For proof of my supposition, look no than the ubiquitous bolt-action rifle. The Model 2020 Waypoint in 7mm PRC offers hunters an all-around bolt-action rifle capable of handling a wide range of North…
