Hornady Producing 17 WSM
I said I was going to stop the Rimfire posts while big game was in season, but just 1 more! Hornady has come out with a loading for 17 WSM. One of the main risks with 17 WSM ammo had been that it was only available from Winchester. Now with Hornady producing a 20 grain…

17 HMR vs 17 WSM
17 WSM: Is the Rimfire Speed King Worth It? Designed and produced in 2002, the 17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire is pretty new in terms of cartridges, but there is an even newer kid on the block. The 17 Winchester Super Mag (WSM), has been in production since 2013 and is attempting to cut out a piece of the…

Marlin XT-17 Review
The Marlin XT-17: Value Priced 17HMR Accuracy After publishing a review of the Savage 93R17, it only seemed to make sense to review the Marlin XT-17. Maybe next year I’ll get my hands on a CZ and a Ruger American but for now, let’s take a look at this Marlin! This particular model is the XT17V,…

17HMR vs 22LR
In many ways, I’m a cheap, pragmatic hunter. If I can get the job done for much cheaper and at 90% of the performance, I’m good to go. When 17 HMR first came out, I remember thinking about how it was too expensive, and that the performance boost wasn’t worth it for gophers. For the most…

Cabelas Pine Ridge .17 Tactical Scope Review
This particular scope is a 3-12×40. I opted for that zoom level, because I wanted a bit more magnification than 9 and because the scope was inexpensive. If anything, I’ve found by buying this scope that I have an intense dislike for target dot style scopes, and would much rather I had bought the Duplex…

Boyd’s Stock for Savage B.Mag
It’s no secret that I love Boyd’s stocks, but this one is a big improvement over the plasticky Savage B.Mag factory stock. The Boyd’s stock comes with a plastic trigger guard and uses your 2 action screws from the factory setup. Rather than using a trim piece to square off the bottom like the factory stock,…

Savage B.Mag Review
Savage B.Mag Review How would you like a significant bump in rimfire performance for FREEEEE? Great pitch, right? The new Savage B.Mag and the 17 Winchester Super Magnum were released as brother and sister on that journey, and there have been a few stumbles along the way. The Savage B.Mag is a significantly new rifle…

Eley Practice Review
I was kind of hoping that the English stuff would beat the German ammo, but given that we were comparing practice ammo to match ammo, I’m not sure it was even a fair comparison anyways. Eley was the only bullet in our Great 2014 22LR test that had a light colored lead bullet. Not sure…

SK Rifle Match Review
The creme of the crop in our 2014 22LR ammo comparison was SK Rifle Match. Very similar to the SK Standard Plus, but just a touch more consistent across the field. Easy to use packaging, non-greasy bullet lube, and amazing accuracy. SK Rifle Match Accuracy As I mentioned with the SK Standard Plus, we’re definitely…
