were pleasantly surprised that the
Black Shadow's magazine had a

Modestly-priced bolt-action rifles
usually have a fixed floorplate or
a hinged floorplate made of an
aluminum alloy. We prefer the
durability of steel. Top-loading the Ranger's five-round magazine didn't

Although this Winchester was the
longest rifle of the test, it was the
second-lightest. This afforded
good muzzle stability and reason-
ably quick target acquisition.
Most shooters liked this rifle's
13.75-inch length of pull, which
was longer than the others. The
straight comb afforded a comfort-

groups needed to be at least an inch smaller across the board.
We noted other shortcomings as well. Our shooters considered the bolt release at the top inside of the alloy trigger guard to be
