Full Build Friday.

Check out this stunner from our friends at West Texas Ordnance, Inc - Licensed FFL - their signature Guadalupe r***e chambered in 7 SAW and built around an 18" PXT carbon fiber barrel.

Compact, clean, and one seriously good-looking build.

Best Hunting R***e of 2026.

Outdoor Life put the Elevation MTR FDX through extensive range testing and time in the field, and named it their Editor’s Choice for Best Hunting R***e of 2026.

From accuracy and handling to the PXT barrel technology at the heart of the r***e, the MTR FDX was built to bring a lot of capability into one complete hunting platform.

We’re proud to see it recognized.

Some r***es are built for the bench. Some are built for the mountains. The Elevation MTR FDX was designed to handle a little bit of both, and Buck Doyle looks right at home behind this Splinter camo setup.
