    Klarus XT2CR Pro Review

    One of my earliest reviews that even pre-dates this website, was my review of the Klarus XT2C. Like that flashlight, the XT2CR Pro is a portable hand-sized, 18650-powered flashlight. But technology has marched on and the XT2CR Pro has 4X the lumens at top power of my older XT2C. It also has a built-in charging…

  • Valmet M78 LMG .308 Review

    Valmet M78 LMG .308 Review

    The Valmet M78 LMG is an AK pattern rifle made in Finland. They’re semi automatic, made for the civilian market and they’re non-restricted in Canada. Unfortunately, they haven’t been made in a long time, so they’re quite pricey ($5,000-10,000) and so they’re more of a curio than a practical rifle for hunting or sport shooting.…

    Yee, and I can’t possibly stress this enough, haaa. What if you took the Ruger Single Six, made it cheaper and made it in 22LR? Well, you’d get the Ruger Wrangler. The Ruger Wrangler is an inexpensive 6-shot, single-action, 22LR revolver made in the US. Is it any good? The Ruger Wrangler goes for around…

  • KelTec RDB Review

    KelTec RDB Review

    The KelTec RDB is an American-made, semi-automatic, bullpup, downward ejecting, 223/556 rifle. Like many of KelTec’s designs, it’s pretty wild, doing something very novel (ejecting empties straight down). At around $1500, they’re pretty price competitive for the quality. Features Very adjustable gas block Full ambi controls Downward case ejection Non-reciprocating charging handle 5lb trigger pull…

  • Howard Leight Impact Sport Review

    Howard Leight Impact Sport Review

    Howard Leight Impact Sport electronic ear muffs are the most popular electronic hearing protection that I see out at the range. They’re inexpensive at around $50-60 CAD, they collapse down very small, they have a slim profile that doesn’t jam into rifle and shoulder stocks as badly as bigger sets, and the electronics are OK…

  • Cabela’s Covenant 7 Review

    Cabela’s Covenant 7 Review

    I couldn’t find enough info on these online so I thought I’d get one for myself and try it. I also didn’t currently have a mil/mil scope so I thought I’d get one and get used to MRAD rather than using MOA for everything. The Cabela’s Covenant 7 is a Chinese-made, 34mm tube, in 3-21…

  • Zastava P10 10mm Tokarev

    Zastava P10 10mm Tokarev

    The Zastava P10 is a Yugoslavian (or Serbian?) made pistol. After many other countries stopped making the Tokarevs, Serbia kept making them: making the long grip Zastava M57, and other variants including this beast. The P10 is a 10mm Tokarev, made in the 90’s (this one’s from 1996) using the same grip length as the…

    SBI 10/22 Magazine Adapter

    The Spectre Ballistics International (SBI) 10/22 magazine adapter is an aluminum adapter you can use on your 10/22 to allow it to take Remington 597 magazines. If you’re American, that probably sounds like a really weird thing to do but in Canada, our majesty’s pony police decided that Butler Creek 25 round mags, made decades…

  • Rossi Ranch Hand Review

    Rossi Ranch Hand Review

    The Rossi Ranch hand is a Mare’s leg reproduction lever action rifle made in Brazil. At around $700 Canadian, they’re the least expensive of the current Mare’s leg style rifles on the market. In Canada, most Mare’s leg rifles (Rossi, Henry, & Chiappa) use 12″ barrels instead of the 16″ barrels they’re limited to in…
