We’d like to take a moment to share some special appreciation for two incredible supporters of the Buck Bedard Outdoor Foundation — Dunton Ranch and the Leatherneck Club of Las Vegas.

Both of these organizations go far beyond supporting our mission. They show up for their communities in meaningful ways, creating spaces where people feel welcomed, supported, and connected. Their generosity, involvement, and commitment to giving back do not go unnoticed.

Because of partners like these, we’re able to continue creating unforgettable outdoor experiences for veterans, children, and families who need them most.

To Dunton Ranch and the Leatherneck Club — thank you for standing alongside us, for believing in what we do, and for making a real difference in the lives of so many.

We are truly grateful.

This past weekend at the Dunton Ranch was one to remember.

Through the Buck Bedard Outdoor Foundation, our recipients experienced more than just a hunt — they built lasting memories, shared stories, and spent time in the outdoors surrounded by great people and purpose.

Moments like these are what it’s all about. Grateful for the land, the opportunity, and the memories made along the way.

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.
