Most of our shelf is CZ pistols and carbines, but plenty of Kansas buyers also hunt. For them, and for a son or daughter about to take a first deer, we carry the Fierce Firearms Mini Rogue line, a light carbon bolt rifle that sits well beside a Scorpion in the safe.

Fierce built these rifles for youth, women and smaller-framed hunters. A shorter length of pull and an adjustable comb or push-button cheek piece make the rifle fit, and a carbon fiber stock keeps it easy to carry. Kansas hunting suits it well: whitetail along timbered creek bottoms in the east, mule deer and pronghorn on the open short-grass country out west. Pick 6.5 Creedmoor for wind on the plains, or 7mm-08 for brushy draws.

This is the service-size Carbon Rogue rather than a Mini: stainless two-lug action, Bix'n Andy Dakota trigger, Fierce C3 carbon match-grade barrel and a long-range negative-comb stock, about 5.8 lb.

7mm Remington Magnum is a long-reaching big-game magnum for elk, moose and open-country deer; expect noticeably more recoil than the short-action rounds. Be honest with yourself about recoil: a magnum in a light rifle kicks. It is a rifle for experienced adult hunters, not a first rifle.

This rifle has a 22 in threaded barrel, 3+1 capacity, and weighs about 5.8 lb. Finish: Sonora Ambush Camo.

A teen who has shot a 9mm carbine already knows how stock fit feels. On a bolt rifle with a scope, the same rule applies. Set the length of pull so the trigger finger reaches naturally, then raise the comb until the eye is centered in the scope. A first hunting rifle in 22 or 6.5 Creedmoor builds steady shooting before a step up to 308.
