Custom grips, while somewhat expensive, go a long way toward making even the most raucous loads “pleasant.” The grips on the stainless steel revolvers above are by Rowen Custom Grips, while the set on the blued Bisley are by JRH Advanced Gunsmithing. All were made specifically for the author’s shooting hand. Revolver grips, it isn’t
At first glance, the 6.5 (right) and the 6.8 (left) are similar in performance. But the 6.5 can use bullets with much better BCs, and that makes the difference downrange. When it comes to 6.8 SPC vs 6.5 Grendel, the better intermediate cartridge all depends on your aims. For most, the .223 Remington/5.56 NATO is
Owning the night with Burris Thermal Optics. Cutting edge electronic optics, nothing new for Burris. Long before every lens grinder and their mother turned to outfitting their scopes with a range-finder/bullet-drop compensator the Colorado company was churning them out. Despite being a handful size-wise, the Eliminator has become legendary for its ability to help hunters

The Brownells feed lip gauge is compact, sturdy, handy and lets you track your magazine wear. Fed issues with your AR? Brownells Magazine Feed Lip Gauge to the rescue. In the old days, we knew nothing about AR-15 magazines. They were mysteries. You kept the ones that worked and ditched/sold/traded the ones that didn’t. No
Rifle bedding, not the simplest project, but the results downrange are often worth the effort. I recently ran a test regarding Boyds Gunstocks’ new Spike Camp riflestock, which featured three stocks built for one barreled action. Those stocks performed very well and very consistently, which was the reason for the test. However, after conducting that
Priced right, the Bushnell RXS-100 is the everyman’s red dot. Have the bankroll, you can spend as much on a red-dot optic as the pistol you’ll mount it on. That use to be the standard. As time has marched on, thankfully the aim solution has moderated to the point nearly it’s possible for nearly any
The right to own property is a pillar of American individual liberty. The Fifth Amendment is meant to protect that right: “No person shall … be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” The first section is known as

With muzzle velocities twice the speed of sound the return of the red-hot .17 Mach 2 is something fired up over. Top .17 Mach 2 Rifle And Barrel Options: The .17 HM2, or 17 Mach 2, was a joint venture between Hornady and CCI in 2003. A CCI Stinger case, which measures 0.100-inch longer than
A little brother to the VR80, the VR82 moves the semi-auto shotgun line into 20-gauge territory. Truth be told, the 12-gauge isn’t for everybody. Certainly that’s blasphemy to most Americans, who by and large swear by the bore whether they’re knocking down ducks on the wing or confronting bumps in the night. Thing is, there’s
Whether at the range or in the field, these 6.8 SPC ammo options will split the bullseye. What Are The Best 6.8 SPC Ammo Options: For many, the 6.8 SPC II is better off eating home-cooked meals. Given the cartridge’s—more exactly its chamber design—troubled history, factory-loaded ammo leaves many shooters wanting. Not that the stuff
With some slick new designs and tweaks, the Buck Mark Vision Plus URX and Countour URX are born to run. While its name doesn’t get bantered about like some .22 LR pistols, shooters have long respected what the Browning Buck Mark brings to the table. Chief among these, accuracy and reliability. The slick and still
10 top rimfire scope choices for plinkers, hunters and precision shooters. What Are The Best Rimfire Scopes: When it comes to optics, “rimfire” is a nebulous term. The scope torqued onto a child’s first .22 LR isn’t anything like the feats of ELR engineering found at precision rimfire matches all across the country. Yet, in
Designed to pitch heavy-for-caliber bullets, the 6.8 Western aims to extend the rifleman’s reach. Somewhere Jack O’Connor is smiling. Long an advocate of the .270, the iconic gun writer and outdoorsman used the caliber to great effect around the globe. Now it’s getting another look of sorts in the hunting world. Last year it was
Henry Repeating Arms’s X Model in .30-30 headlines the release of four new guns for 2021. Henry Repeating Arms turns heads. Why not? Embracing tradition, while providing thoroughly modern firearms, the company has carved an enduring niche in the gun world. And it continues to grow bigger.

Last we checked, the Second Amendment doesn’t limit the right to bear arms to a few select locations. Yet courts across the country have had trouble deciding where the right applies. The Firearms Policy Coalition is helping to fix the problem. Recently, the FPC legal team filed an amicus brief in New York State Rifle
