Building a Custom Ruger 10/22
The Ruger 10/22 is the most popular semi auto 22LR rifle. Many popular firearms become generic platforms that have so many aftermarket parts available, that you can build them without any original Ruger parts if you want. Think AR15, 1911, Glock 17, etc. I thought I’d write an article going through some parts decisions you’ll…

Vortex Diamondback HD 10X42 Binoculars Review
The Vortex Diamondback HD 10×42 is a medium size set of binos great for hunting or bird watching. I picked mine up on sale at Cabelas in TrueTimber camo for just over $300. This version was slightly cheaper than the regular version, but the regular version also came with the GlassPak chest harness. Vortex Diamondback…

Ruger BX Trigger Review (10/22)
Factory 10/22 triggers are usually around 4.75-6lbs so they’re one of the first things that many people choose to upgrade. Ruger makes their own upgrade trigger pack called the “Ruger BX Trigger” that features a trigger pull of around 2.5-3lbs. Installation Installation of the BX Trigger is extremely straight forward. Loosen the action screw so…

Common Mistakes that New Gun Owners Make
I thought I’d write a quick little article on some common mistakes that many new gun owners make so that I could prevent others from following the same path. I’m going to avoid the legal and safety issues that new gun owners need to learn, because that would be a whole article on its own.…

Cheaper Glock Alternatives in Canada
Glocks are expensive in Canada. A Gen5 Glock 17 will go for $850, and if you want the red dot ready MOS version, they’re $950! So I thought I’d put together a list of Glock alternatives, their current retail prices (Sep 2020, only guns that were in stock), and some thoughts on them. Right now,…

WS-MCR Review
The WS-MCR is an improved version of the Armalite 180B. Like the 180B, it’s a non-restricted, semi-automatic, 223 cartridge family of rifles. They’re Canadian-made and they’re available in 5.56/223, 224 Valkyrie, and 7.62×39. In this case, I’m reviewing the 5.56 model, which will be a lot more popular than other chamberings. Because the firing pin…

Winchester Wildcat 22 LR Rifle Review
Winchester Wildcat is the name Winchester uses for its bottom of the barrel, absolute garbage ammo. It’s also the same name they gave to a newly designed semi-auto 22LR rifle made by Silah in Turkey. Unlike the ammo, the rifle itself is super interesting and has more iterative innovations packed into it than any other…

Norinco JW-20 Review (Copy of Browning SA-22)
Just recently, I reviewed the Savage 64 Takedown and some viewers rightfully called me out that it wasn’t the cheapest takedown 22 in Canada. That honor is currently held by the Norinco JW-20, a $180 copy of the Browning SA-22. So, I took the logical next step and bought one for review. I believe that…

Remington 581 22LR Review
The Remington 580 series of bolt-action 22LR rifles includes the 580 (single shot), 581 (detachable magazine fed) and 582 (tube magazine fed). They were made over a pretty long run of 1967-1999 (this one was made in 1980.) There was even a 580 “smooth bore” for shooting 22 shotshells. The 580 series was a replacement…
