Nosler is more than an innovator in ammunition. He has also proven himself a skilled rifle-smith. The Model 21 is an excellent example. It is a feature-rich bolt-action that offers the feel and performance you would expect from a custom build, but in a package that shooters can afford. The rifle’s McMillan stock is lightweight carbon-fiber and ideal for hunting trips that take you to distant ridgelines.

The fully-adjustable TriggerTech switch can be set almost as light as a competition trigger. MSRP: $2795DRD Tactical MP-21 Pistol

It also allows shooters the ability to swap calibers in a matter of seconds. The pistol can seamlessly switch between 5.56 NATO or.300 BLK barrels thanks to interchangeable barrels. This greatly increases its operational utility. The MFP-21 has a Picatinny Rail integrated on the receiver’s rear.

DRD Tactical designed this pistol with a patented gas block, an ambidextrous bolt release, and a custom two-stage trigger. MSRP: $2,500S&W 10mm M&P 2.0
A Smith & Wesson 10mm pistol? Since shooters have been able to say that, it’s been a spell. The 1006 is not back in production, but the iconic gunmaker has returned to the “Perfect 10”, with the introduction of the caliber in the popular striker-fired range. The M&P 2.0 is now available with a 10mm barrel. This gives people plenty of reasons to consider it if they are looking for a snappy caliber. The pistol has a 15-round capacity and comes with an interchangeable trigger, palmswell grips, a ridged stainless steel chassis, and a 4-inch or 4.6-inch barrel. Smith & Wesson also offers the 10mm M&P with three models: one with a thumb safety and one without, and one with a slide for mounting an optic. MSRP: $654Mossberg 590S
Mossberg is no stranger to smooth-bores of the highest quality. With its latest pump gun, Mossberg aims to surpass the original 500. Is the 590S capable of doing it? It can easily digest 1 3/4-, 2 3/4-, or 3-inch shells. The full-length stock is paired with either a 18.5-inch barrel and bead sight, or a 20-inch barrel and adjustable ghost-ring sights. The larger model has an M-Lok compatible forend, which is about the same time as a production gun. It also comes with all the features 500-series shooters enjoy, including twin action bars and an anti-jam elevator. MSRP: Starting at $623CZ 600 Bolt Action Trail

The rifle’s most notable features include a telescoping barrel, a free-floating M-Lok handguard and an enclosed receiver. The gunmaker currently only offers the 16-inch barreled configuration and its mini action. This means that it is only available in.223 Remington or 7.62x39mm. The lightweight and precise setup makes the workhorse cartridges a great choice. MSRP: $1.155Springfield Armory Roin EMP
