This week we're taking a closer look at the Wilson Combat Recon Tactical. A modern sporting rifle chambered in hard-hitting .458 SOCOM, the Recon Tactical seems almost custom-made to take on the gamut of North America's big game. Built around America's favorite rifle platform, the Recon Tactical is a smooth shooter, despite its hefty chambering. For more information on this semi-automatic large-game hunter, check out the video embedded above, hosted by Executive Editor Jon Draper, and Digital Associate Editor David Herman. MSRP: $2,400-2,450; wilsoncombat.com.
