In Western states like Utah and Wyoming, gun and hunting culture is strong. But how can you tell the difference between a so-so gun and a quality long-range firearm? Besides durability and capability for large calibers, your gun should be durable and light enough to carry into the thick wilderness. It also should be safe, passing all the legal requirements with flying colors. Having a firearm that is affordable is also a great bonus. If you’re looking, try one of these.
