Attention Utah gun owners: If you're looking to add a new rifle to your gun vault this summer, look no further. Here's a list of the top 5 rifles to hit the market in 2013.
This rifle is a smooth operator with classic high-quality construction. The reproduced version features a sliding dust cover on top of the receiver latch in the buttstock that holds the lever in place. At $1,299, the Winchester Model 1873 is worth every penny if only to have a brand new relic in the gun vault to show off to your buddies.
This little guy is a small game hunter's delight. Utilizing the .17 Hornet cartridge which has given gunmaker's headaches, this CZ cycles it flawlessly. Owners might notice a trigger that's a little heavy but with a price tag that's extremely light, the $711 rifle is dead on accurate and a fun addition to any gun vault in Utah.
This is the new version of Outdoor Life's favorite rifle from 2012. Upgrades for this year include a beefed up stock and a fluted barrel. It's lighter than its predecessor but still on the heavier side for a mountain rifle at 6 lb. 10 oz.. At $1399 the Vanguard Series 2 back Country is a little steep, but the upgrades, design and accuracy might be worth it to Weatherby fans.
The design of the 2013 M400 is uncanny. It's got all the bells and whistles, none of which disappoint. A Magpul buttstock, suppressor-ready threaded barrel, free-float hand guard and an incredible Geissele trigger come together to create a hunter's dream rifle. Modestly priced at $1384, this ergonomically tuned and perfectly accurate rifle is a gleaming trophy for any gun vault.
This rifle tops the charts by a long-shot. The SSG 3000 is the most accurate rifle imaginable. According to Outdoor Life it could, "shoot fleas off a dog." With flawless function even in the harshest conditions, the SSG 3000 simply won't let gun owners down. Aside from its astounding accuracy and functionality, the most impressive feature is its price. At $1499, the SSG 3000 costs half of what its competitors are asking. This rifle is truly a game changer. Gun owners in Utah will be clamoring over each other to add one to their vault this year.
