Benelli has just announced the M4 EXT, the ultimate version of the iconic semi-auto 12-gauge straight from the factory.The Benelli M4 is widely considered to be the best combat shotgun of all time.

Treading into the fourth season is no easy feat, and after you’ve slogged waist-deep, you’re going to need a shelter that’s as tough as the weather. The best 4-season tents are the elder shelters of the camping world and are toughened to put up with the worst of it on your next mountaineering, ski-touring, or alpine hunting trip. After a few seasons spent in the high country, these are the tents I find myself reaching for time and time again. And while many 4-season tents can feel more like single-season tents, I considered shelters from all ends of the spectrum,…
