As the mercury settles toward the bottom of the thermometer leading American Hunter staff to avoid long range days at all costs, we figured it would be a perfect time to revisit our top five #SundayGundays of 2024. So pour a steaming coffee or hot cocoa, and check out what racked up the most views, clicks and comments this year. We wish everyone reading a wonderful Christmas, a happy holiday season and an excellent New Year.

Winchester 21 Sharp

1. Winchester 21 Sharp

The brand-new Winchester 21 Sharp takes top honors for this year, with a whopping 153.9 thousand views and climbing. A rimfire cartridge that utilizes a .22 LR case but a .21-caliber, non-heeled projectile, 21 Sharp offers several key advantages over the standard .22-caliber projectile, yet remains affordable to consumers.

CZ 600 American

2. CZ 600 American

Next up is the CZ 600 American. An American-style bolt gun, this walnut-stocked beauty is sure to appeal to the gamut of hunters on this side of the pond. Its low, straight comb is instantly familiar to American shooters (as opposed to the raised combs found on other CZ 600 models), for fast and accurate shots.

Stevens Model 334 on White

3. Stevens Model 334 Walnut

In slot three sits the Stevens Model 334 Walnut, from Savage. An all-purpose hunting rifle, this bolt-action is designed to get the job done without the added expense of additional features the average hunter can do without.

Ruger American Generation II

4. Ruger American Gen. II

Number four is the Ruger American Generation II rifle. The next evolution of the popular Ruger American rifle, this all-new hunting gun boasts a spiral-fluted barrel, and a stock with an adjustable LOP and comb. Learn more about it in this exclusive video.

Herman Shooting Sako Model 90 Hunter

5. Sako Model 90 Hunter

Last but not least comes a rifle from one of the most storied gunmakers the world over. The Sako Model 90 Hunter is a finely crafted rifle boasting a beautiful walnut stock, with an elevated comb and cheekpiece for a comfortable head position when shooting magnified optics. An adjustable trigger can be toggled between five different pull weights without even disassembling the rifle.
