Firearms News Annual Hunting Issue Available Now at Newsstands, Walmart, Barnes & Noble, or Local Book Retailer

DENVER (September 16, 2025) – Firearms News, the leading source for firearms enthusiasts, today announced the release of its Annual Hunting issue for September 2025. This special issue features a riveting cover story by Hunting Field Editor Rikk Rambo, detailing two intense big game hunts in Alaska, and is available now at newsstands, including Walmart, Barnes & Noble, and other major book retailers.

The cover story captures Rambo’s harrowing experience drawing “First Blood” after sustaining a major injury while reviewing the Weatherby 307 Alpine CT rifle on a black bear hunt. The feature also follows his successful Alaskan moose hunt using the Wilson Combat Tactical Hunter rifle. This compelling narrative provides readers with a raw and authentic look at the challenges and triumphs of big game hunting.

“This year’s Annual Hunting issue is one of our most exciting yet,” said Vincent L. DeNiro, Editor-in-Chief of Firearms News. “Rikk Rambo’s Alaskan adventures are a testament to the unpredictable nature of the hunt. His story, combined with our deep dives into the latest firearms, makes this an essential read for every hunter and shooter.”
