NEW Heritage Manufacturing Settler, Settler Compact & Mare’s Leg rifles

Heritage Manufacturing has been making a strong resurgence this year with new firearms and offerings popping up constantly. While many gun companies are shying away from older designs, Heritage Manufacturing is leaning in and crafting some marvelous ‘arms that remind us of John Wayne, old cowboy movies, and potentially the first time we ever shot a “firearm” (who remembers the old Daisy Red Ryder). Heritage Manufacturing’s newest offerings come to use via their new Settler series. This includes the Settler, Settler Compact, and Settler Mare’s Leg.

Heritage Manufacturing Coverage on AllOutdoor

The Settler series from Heritage Manufacturing has only 3 firearms in it, thus far, but with those 3 guns they cover the entire breadth of what a cowboy might be looking for. The Settler is a 20″ full-size rifle meant for varmint hunting, plinking, or simply having fun. The Settler Compact is similar to the Settler, but obviously smaller making it more wieldy for your pickup truck or ATV. Finally, there is the Settler Mare’s Leg. Whether you have it in a scabbard on the side of your horse or the side of your ATV, the Settler Mare’s Leg is fun and practical all-in-one. We go into detail for all 3 of these new rifles below in case any of them are already calling you by name.
