The Buck Bedard Outdoor Foundation is proud to off The Buck Bedard Outdoor Foundation is proud to offer the King Hunter as the 2026 Banquet Rifle.  The King Hunter is built to optimize the performance of the 7mm BackCountry cartridge. With the high-pressure round being able to deliver over twice the energy of 30-06 at 1K yards, we wanted to build a platform that can get every bit of performance out of it.

The long action bolt assembly features a floating bolt head for improved lug engagement and a roller guided firing pin, to ensure the most consistent ignition possible. The bolt assembly features a Nanoweapon coating, which makes the action super smooth and incredibly corrosion resistant. The nitride receiver sits in a Manners Long Range Hunter carbon fiber stock, which balances ergonomics and weight reduction, with the rifle weighing in at just over 8 lbs.

Accuracy is at the forefront of design, and the Geissele 20” stainless-steel cut-rifled barrel with a 1/8 twist is complimented with the “smile-maker” super crisp two-stage Super 700 trigger. The King Hunter reigns when performance is non-negotiable.

Raffle tickets are available online as of today at buckbedardoutdoorfoundation.org and will be available in person at events starting today as well.

Nick was fortunate enough to receive a Nevada Desert Bighorn Sheep tag through NDOW’s tag donation program.
