It\u2019s no easy feat determining the best rifles of 2022, but it\u2019s a task that the editors at Outdoor Life<\/em> took on with delight as we converged at Gunsite Academy<\/a> in late March. I\u2019ve been to Gunsite countless times over the years, but never had I arrived in such style\u2014at the wheel of a rented RV stuffed to the gills with guns, ammunition, optics, tools, targets, and the other myriad bits and pieces required to conduct this annual event.<\/p>\n

For the first time in the gun test\u2019s history, we took it on the road. Previously, we held the test on our home turf. For the last 12 years that meant in Montana, where I live. And prior to that, we held the test in Tennessee, where Jim Carmichel, my predecessor as Outdoor Life<\/em>\u2019s shooting editor, hails from.<\/p>\n

But enduring winter after winter of brutal weather for the gun test had taken its toll, and we all agreed it was time to head to warmer climes. So, I pointed the RV south, and covered the 1,000 miles between Bozeman and Paulden, Arizona, hauling the largest lineup of new guns we\u2019ve ever tested.<\/p>\n
