Shaw's Mk. VII poses for the July 2009 issue of Field & Stream, after being voted "Best New Rifle 2009." ![]() "New Classics"I've seen many rifles come and go, but the ones that have come along in the past 10 years are a quantum leap past everything else. You can still get a wood stock, but you also have a choice of synthetic stocks that are immune to anything short of a nuclear blast. Triggers are now terrific and owner adjustable. Over-the-counter big-game rifles now can outshoot the finest custom rifles of 20 years ago and equal most custom guns made today. Bluing is slowly being replaced by polymers that are everything-proof and eternal. More changes are in store so hang on to your hat. –D.E.P. Forget the eye-popping accuracy and strange-looking spiral-flute barrels. What gets the Mk. VII on this list is the fact that it represents the way rifles will be made in the future. Rather than having a standard line of models, Shaw offers the buyer 10,000 combinations of caliber, barrel dimensions, stock, right-or-left-hand, and on and on. The one I have is a minute-of-angle-gun, or a little better, and others I know of shoot just as well. For the price of a factory rifle, you get to design something that is yours and yours alone.
