Whether you’re gunning for bear or other big game, you want to know you’re carrying a rifle with serious stopping power. But that comes at a cost – namely, more recoil than many shooters want to endure.
Bear Creek Arsenal is now offering its latest addition to the HuntMaster line. Cambered for the 7mm Remington Magnum cartridge, this new rifle is ideal for medium to large game. The rifle features a 20-inch barrel, a 15-inch free-floating M-LOK rail, and a forward reciprocating side charger, which enables the shooter to charge the AR while staying focused down range and on target—and with just a fraction of the recoil felt in a traditional bolt action rifle.
The HuntMaster line further allows hunters to take a second or third shot if needed with sub-MOA groups while keeping hunting regulations with two 5-round magazines included. Despite the stopping power it provides, the 20-inch HuntMaster weighs less than 12 pounds.
