Remington
Right at press time we got word that Remington is dropping the Model Seven LS centerfire line in favor a redesigned Model Seven CDL, capitalizing on the success of the Model 700 CDL that came out a few years ago. The rifle features a classic-style, A-grade walnut stock with R3 recoil pad. Metal is satin blue, and the barrel is clean. It will be available in a variety of short-action chamberings from .204 Ruger to .350 Rem. Mag. and including, notably, two WSM chamberings: the .300 and .270.

The Model 7400 semi-auto has been cashiered in favor of the new Model 750 Woodsmaster. The autoloader offers an improved gas system, redesigned fore-end and a new stock design. Its magazine box is interchangeable with the Model 7400's. Available in rifle and carbine configurations, the Model 750 is chambered to .243, .308, .270 Win., .30-06 and .35 Whelen. www.remington.com

Ruger M77 Stainless Frontier

Ruger
Ruger has set its sights on those who hunt in less than ideal conditions; the company now offers a stainless version of the Mark II Model 77 Frontier. The Stainless Frontier can be had in .243, 7mm-08, .308, .300 WSM and .325 WSM. Ruger is also introducing its All-Weather M77 Mark II in the hot new .325 WSM chambering.

Ruger continues its trend of "compacting" its classics with the 10/22 Compact, a 161/2-inch-barreled version of the rimfire favorite. www.ruger.com

Savage
Savage is now offering its AccuTrigger in most of its rimfire line. Taking its model nomenclature to new heights, the company's newest rimfire offering is the Model 93R17BTVS, a stainless, heavy-barreled .17 HMR with a brown laminated thumbhole stock.

The company also offers a hinged-floorplate, straight-line-feed centerfire Classic that also comes in Euro trim with a high-luster blued barrel and action and detachable magazine. It's available in short action (.22-250, .243 and .308) or long (.270 Win. and .30-06).

Savage Model 12 Precision Varminter

The Model 12 Precision Varminter can now be had with a right-hand bolt with a smaller left-hand ejection port for greater receiver rigidity. The Precision Varminter comes in .223, .204 Ruger and .22-250. www.savagearms.com

Weatherby
Weatherby's new Mark V Ultramark bridges the gap between the Mark V Deluxe and a custom-built rifle. It features a high-gloss Monte Carlo stock, 20-lpi checkering and double maplewood spacers on the buttstock, fore-end and pistol-grip gap. This high-luster blued sporter comes in .257 Wby. Mag. and .300 Wby. Mag. The Vanguard Deluxe also features a Monte Carlo walnut stock with maplewood spacers and high-gloss blueing. It comes with the company's three-shot, 11?2-inch, cold-barrel 100-yard guarantee. It's available in .270 Win., .30-06, .257 Wby. Mag. and .300 Wby. Mag.

Winchester
The big news from Winchester is the Super X Rifle, a gas-operated autoloader that is chambered in .270 WSM, .300 WSM, .30-06 and .300 Win. Mag. It features a detachable magazine, removable trigger assembly, alloy receiver, hammer-forged barrel and satin-finished walnut stock.

There are now some interesting additions to the Model 94 lever-action line. The Model 94 Short Hunter Takedown features an 18-inch barrel, full-length magazine and ghost-ring sights. It's available in .450 Marlin, .44 Mag. and .30-30. Our editor got a look at this one recently as well. Takedown is as quick and easy as you could ask, and housed in its accompanying carry case, it will make a great camp gun.

So will the Model 94 Timber Scout Takedown, which comes with a rail base to accept a long-eye-relief scope with QD mounts--although it, too, comes with ghost-ring iron sights. It's available in .30-30, .44 Mag. and .450 Marlin and has a barrel length of 18 inches.
