Aero Precision has brought the world of custom-style long-range bolt-action guns to our doorstep with their Solus rifle.

Available in a few different chamberings and various configurations, there is sure to be a Solus to suit your long-range needs.
After thorough testing, we can confirm that Geissele’s high-end (and high-priced) Super Duty is worth the price of entry. This AR-15 comes with up-spec components out of the box so there’s no need to modify it. It shoots accurately with a variety of ammunition and feels great doing it.
Classic lines, cheap ammo, and an affordable rifle are all calling cards of the Henry Golden Boy .22 LR. For those looking for some western-style lever-action fun, it is hard to pass up the 6.75 lb brass and walnut beauty of the Golden Boy. Its low weight, adjustable buckhorn sights, and good balance help make this rifle easy to shoot offhand and fun to plink with. A good trigger, a smooth lever action, and the low recoil of .22 LR will be sure to put a smile on your face for hours on end.
“Chiappa’s Little Badger is a single-shot rifle with a wire stock and hardly anything but a small barrel, receiver, and wire stock. It weighs 2.9 pounds and comes with four short rails to attach accessories to. It’s very easy to operate — all you have to do is load the gun, close it up, cock the hammer, and pull the trigger. The gun folds in half to be only roughly 17 inches long. It’s super thin and fits in a backpack with hardly any room taken up.” — Travis Pike
The Daniel Defense PCC is an expensive PCC, but it backs up the high price tag with performance. During our testing, it was very accurate and noticeably softer-shooting than most PCCs, thanks to the clever Kynshot hydraulic buffer. The only hiccup came from fully-loaded magazines. Loading them one round short solved the issue, and a break-in period might do the same. All in all, we love the PCC 916.
