  • Henry Lever Action .22 Rifle Review

    Henry Lever Action .22 Rifle Review

    Why a Lever Action .22? Henry rifles were recently on sale here in Canada, so I’ve got 2 to review: the Henry Lever Action 22, and the Henry US Survival Rifle. Interestingly enough, on-sale they were around the same price. But where the US Survival rifle was compact, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, and could float, the Henry Lever…

    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…

    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

    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…
