This previously unheard of lever-action performance is made possible by Hornady's development of LEVEREVOLUTION ammunition technology, using new powder formulations and its exclusive Flex-Tip bullet design. The two Marlin models chambered for this round are the blued 308MX with a 22-inch barrel and walnut stock, and the stainless steel 308MXLR with a 24-inch barrel and laminated stock. Both rifles will be available during the second quarter of 2007.

MOSSBERG '4X4' BOLT-ACTION RIFLE
Based on the overwhelming success of the 100 ATR, Bolt-Action Rifle introduced in 2005, the new Mossberg "4x4" bolt-action is built with the "lines of a Ferrari and the chassis of a Hummer." The new 4x4s will be offered in eye-catching, space-age polymer, specially contoured American black walnut, and laminated stock models, each featuring Monte Carlo-style cheek pieces, slim line grips and soft, recoil-absorbing buttpads. A detachable box magazine, smooth, quick-handling bolt, free-floating, button-rifled barrel, sling swivel studs, and factory-installed Weaver-style scope bases round out the features.

With a full lineup of the most popular calibers, from the hulking .338 Winchester Magnum to the all-around .25/06 Remington, the 4x4 offers the opportunity to hunt any big game North America has to offer. Barrels are free-floating and button-rifled with a recessed muzzle crown for superior "out-of-the-box" accuracy. Factory-mounted, bore-sighted scoped combos are now available, featuring a 3-9x40mm variable centerfire rifle scope. It is available in a total of 48 configurations.

REMINGTON MODEL 798
Remington is bringing one of the most trusted bolt-actions of all time -- the Model 98 Mauser -- back into mainstream production. Long revered for its superior strength, smooth, reliable cartridge feed and inherent accuracy, the 98 action is now available from Remington in a wide range of modern calibers, both short and long action. The Model 798 has been reworked from butt to bore to meet the aesthetic and performance demands of today's hunter and shooter. The long-action Model 798 (square-bridge Mauser 98) features a richly blued barrel and receiver and American-made brown laminated stock. Barrels are clean, and receivers are drilled and tapped for standard Mauser 98 (long- and short-action) scope mounts.

Expect silky, ultra-positive feeding and ejection, rock-solid durability and exceptionally fast lock time. It's available in nine short-action and long-action chamberings from .243 Winchester to .458 Magnum.

RUGER M77 HAWKEYE
The New Ruger M77 Hawkeye rifles offer shooters enhanced ergonomics, improved checkering of the walnut stock, and the new LC6 trigger. In addition, these bolt-action rifles contain all the value-added characteristics of yesterday's Ruger rifles -- positive floor plate latch, integral scope mounts, three-position safety, and hammer forged barrels. The newly designed, slimmer walnut stock on the Ruger M77 Hawkeye has wrap-around checkering on the foregrip. The stock has more rounded contours along the barrel, on the bottom of the stock, and on the top of the pistol grip. The stock also features an all-new red rubber recoil pad with the Ruger logo, designed to absorb the most punishing recoil. Both versions of the M77 Hawkeye rifle -- walnut with matte blued finish, and the synthetic with stainless finish-- feature a new and improved trigger. The smooth, crisp Ruger LC6 trigger delivers improved out-of-the-box trigger pull for increased accuracy on the range and in the field. The steel floor plate has a patented floor plate latch for easy unloading without having to chamber each cartridge. The design eliminates accidental release or "dumping" of your ammunition. Like the Ruger M77 Mark II rifles, the new M77 Hawkeye features a Mauser-type controlled feed extractor for reliable performance and a three-position safety that allows the bolt to be locked, or the rifle to be loaded and unloaded with the safety on. Free scope rings (a $60-$80 added value), which mount on the integral scope bases, machined into each receiver, are included with every M77 rifle.

SAKO QUAD HUNTER/COMBO
The Sako Quad Combo is one rifle that has four barrels available to shoot -- .22 LR, .17 HMR, .22 WMR and .17 Mach2. Its easy barrel switch takes less than 20 seconds. Rimfire enthusiasts have come to appreciate the fun and the versatility given by the quick-interchangeable Quad barrel system. Now, the Sako Quad and Quad Combo are available with an attractive walnut stock that will please even the staunchest traditionalist. The stock features a tasteful but new checkering pattern that retains the "shark-gills" design typical of the Quad line. In all other respects, the Sako Quad Hunter is just as versatile and high tech as the synthetic version, with its detachable magazine, adjustable trigger and minute-of-angle accuracy.
