Savage Axis XP Review The Savage Axis is a relatively new entrant into the bargain rifle category. Previously called the Savage Edge, the Axis is a modernization of the Savage 110 bolt action rifle in order to reduce costs while maintaining the generally excellent accuracy that Savage rifles are known for. It’s also a departure…

Sightron SIII 6-24 FFP Review
Sightron isn’t a particularly famous brand. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of their ads in a magazine, tradeshow, etc. And although they’ve been around for 18 years, their brand is much less known than Vortex, a relative newcomer. Sightron’s SIII series is made in Japan, and they come with some interesting features. This…

Bushnell 3200 Elite 3-9×40
Bushnell is known for their value priced scopes as well as their “Elite” line. The Elite line of scope includes the 3200, 4200, and 6500. The 3200 is the lowest priced Elite and is what I consider to be a great starting place for scoping a value to midrange rifle. My particular scope came with…

Promag Archangel M1A Stock Review
The ProMag Archangel M1A stock is a new arrival here in Canada and a great alternative to a regular synthetic stock or the substandard wood that typically comes with Norinco M305’s (Norinco’s copy of the M1A). Although it looks a bit like a JAE stock, it’s quite different. The JAE-100 Generation 3 stock comes with…

Marlin Model 795 Review
The 795 is Marlin’s most inexpensive 22 rimfire and one of the most inexpensive 22’s you can get in semi-automatic. I initially picked up this rimfire to use for light gopher shooting duty and have used it for plinking as well. At around $150 in the US and $219 in Canada, it’s definitely well priced. Marlin…

What Does Hunting Mean to You?
If anything, I think the recent, very public case of an American hunter poaching a famous Zimbabwe lion has really shone a light on poaching and hunting in general. What I found the most interesting was how hunters approach hunting so radically different. Just from a bystander’s view, I could see all these guys arguing about the “true…

“Modern Sporting Rifle” Is Important
What kind of rifle is this? Most owners of such a rifle would call it an “AR” or “AR-15”. I think, when speaking to non-gun owning people about rifles like this, we should stop referring to them as “AR’s”. The Problem: Language and Baggage One of the biggest problems is a difference between what gun owners…
