Best Western Hunting Rifles: Recommendations from a Professional Guide

from Backcountry Hunting Podcast

Can the rifle you choose for western hunting make or break your hunting success? In this episode, we sit down for a fire-side chat with professional outfitter Tate Bradfield to get his take on top choices for western hunting rifles. We talk through several price tiers, including the $600 to $1,200 range; the $1,200 to $1,800 range; the $1,800 to $2,400 range, and finally, top-tier rifles without cost restraints.  As a bonus, we get Tate's opinion on best bows for archery hunting the West, along with his favorite broadhead models.
