    Chippewa Black Oiled Insulated Ladies Logger Review

    Chippewa kindly provided these boots for review. This is the second pair of boots we’ve reviewed at The Hunting Gear Guy and this time around, we decided to get a lady’s perspective. If you’re looking for something in a men’s, check out our review on a set of Arctic boots. For this one, I asked…

  • SVT-40 Stainless Cup and Piston and Aftermarket Recoil Springs

    SVT-40 Stainless Cup and Piston and Aftermarket Recoil Springs

    Just a quick one that I wanted to share, because parts for the SVT-40 are pretty tough to find, and it’s always cool to find suppliers out there. The gas piston on my SVT40 was. . .pretty rough and corroded from its WWII action, and because it was refurbished, I’m not worrying about keeping it…

  • Primos Hoochie Mama Pack Review

    Primos Hoochie Mama Pack Review

    The Primos Hoochie Mama produces a very realistic Elk “mew” that all bulls love to hear. Using only one hand, this Cow Elk call is very simple and easy to use by pushing the bellow with your thumb. The HM can create mew, lost and estrus sounds by twisting the call. Primos also made an…

  • Primos Buck Roar Review

    Primos Buck Roar Review

    Having all the gear one would need to harvest a perfect Trophy Buck is ideal. But if that same person wasn’t able to call in that buck properly, all that gear would be a complete waste of money. I admit straight up that I’m not very good at using any call, whether it be for…

  • Hogue AR15 Free Float Tube Handguard Mini Review

    Hogue AR15 Free Float Tube Handguard Mini Review

    So, I had my AR15 out at the range, and off bags compared to off hand I was seeing a big shift in my Point Of Impact (POI). Forend pressure was transmitting midway down the barrel to affect where bullets were landing and I did not like it at all. Now, I didn’t want to…

  • Aftermarket Stocks for the Marlin 795

    Aftermarket Stocks for the Marlin 795

    The Marlin 795 is a wicked little semi auto 22. From the factory with a heavy enough barrel, conservative 10 round stick magazine, a last round bolt hold open, and a lot of accuracy for the dollar, there’s not much to dislike about the 22. One aspect that won’t get high marks is the composite…

  • Nikon P-223 3X32 Review

    One area where hunting optics haven’t developed very far is in compact optics. On a nice light gun build, bullpup, AR15, or other rifle where you need a bit of magnification in a tight and light package, they fit perfectly. The tradeoffs to a scope that is shorter than a longer standard scope are real,…

  • ATI Talon 870 shotgun tactical stock review

    ATI Talon 870 shotgun tactical stock review

    For a guy just finished kitting out an AR15, tactical shotguns seem great. Tactical shotgun parts are cheap and plentiful, and the guns themselves are everywhere and ultra reliable. While there is no dominant platform like the AR15, tactical shotguns are very much centered around the Remington 870 and Mossberg 500. Some semi auto shotguns…

  • Vortex SPARC Review

    Vortex SPARC Review

    The Vortex SPARC is a midrange priced red dot great for use on AR15’s, 45-70’s, shotguns and other rifles where short range, fast shots are required. At the low range, you have Tascos, Bushnells, etc for about $100; at your high end, you have EOTech and Aimpoint at $400-$900. The SPARC fits in the middle…

  • Redfield Revolution 3-9X50 Review

    Redfield Revolution 3-9X50 Review

    I have a personal sweet spot in riflescopes where the optical quality is “good enough” for hunting and the reliability is too. For me, that spot is most standard riflescopes that are $200-$500. There are plenty of great scopes in this range, such as Bushnell Elites, Vortex Diamondbacks, Classic Weavers, Nikon Monarchs and ProStaffs, Millets,…
