Das Jagdmagazin mit Weitblick

The 7mm Backcountry is one of the most exciting new hunting cartridges to hit the market in years. Featuring an innovative steel-alloy case, exceptionally high chamber pressure, and magnum-like performance from short barrels, it’s designed to redefine suppressed hunting rifles. Shot & Stillness takes an in-depth look at how Federal’s groundbreaking cartridge works, which rifles are already chambered for it, and the hunters who stand to benefit the most.

Hunting usually begins long before the first light of day. As the morning breaks over the mountains and the dew still hangs heavy on the meadows, the true essence of the craft becomes clear in the field: responsibility for wildlife and the land it inhabits. Yet while much out in the woods has remained the same, one thing has changed dramatically in recent years—the legal framework governing firearm ownership in Austria.

Carbon barrels are revolutionizing modern hunting — lighter, stronger, more precise. The high-tech material made from carbon fiber, once reserved for aerospace and motorsports, now gives hunting rifles less weight, better balance, and exceptional accuracy — ideal for mountain hunters and demanding terrain.
