    Marlin Classic Model 1895 Mini Review

    When it comes to big bore rifles for North American game, there’s 1 rifle that stands out as the biggest practical bore to use for short range game busting, the Marlin 1895. Chambered in the ancient 45-70, the 1895 can fire uploaded rounds to stoutly knock down deer, bear, elk, and anything else in North…

  • Hunting with an SKS

    Hunting with an SKS

    Straight up, it has been 2 years and I’m now a better writer. Better post here: https://huntinggearguy.com/rifle-reviews/sks-review/ One of the cheapest “fun” guns out there in Canada and the US is the SKS. Made primarily by Russia, China, and Yugoslavia, the SKS is a compact little semi auto chambered in 7.62X39. Due to the inexpensive rifle…
