While the color black in the firearms world has long been associated with tactical firearms and operator accessories, that’s no longer the case.  As modern sporting rifles gain popularity with hunters as practical options for taking deer and even bigger game, black guns and gear are booming.  Here are five noir options from 2017 that perk the ears of hunters.

Modern sporting rifles may not be new to hunters; Savage MSR’s are, however—that’s Modern Savage Rifles.  The company debuted a line of four MSR’s, which included a pair of .223’s, a Long Range big bore, and of course, the Hunter.  Though we tested the Hunter in .308, it’s the 6.5 Creedmoor and .338 Federal chamberings that really drive interest from hunters.  With an adjustable gas system ideal for suppressed hunting, Blackhawk! furniture, and a quality trigger, the MSR is a pleasure to shoot.
Accuracy was exceptional with our .308 out to our max 500-yard target.  At a hair under eight pounds empty, these AR-10 platform designs are lighter than many others on the market, making the MSR Hunter a ready hunting
