2011 was a great year on OutdoorLife.com. We did some big news pieces, like wolves being taken off the endangered species list. We covered some strange wildlife features, like a grizzly chasing down a scalded bison in Yellowstone. And, we posted a ton of crazy photos, like the worst taxidermy pictures of all time. With 2011 in the books, now is the perfect time to look back at the best stories and features of the year.

50 Best Hunting Rifles of the Past 10 Years
For years Outdoor Life has run the most rigorous gun test in the industry on new firearms each season. While it's hard to beat a brand new gun, there's also something to be said about a gun that has stood the test of time.

With that in mind, we put together an extensive list of the best rifles we've tested in our Gun Test over the last 10 years. The first 10 guns in this gallery were hand-picked as Shooting Editor, John Snow's, personal favorites. The next set of rifles are the Editor's Choice winners in chronological order, then there's the Great Buy winners, and finally, the honorable mentions round out the list.
