• Pimped out Budget Bolt Action Rifles?

    Within the 1-2 years, something very interesting has been happening in the budget bolt action rifle market: more features. You could really point to the Savage 200 as one of the first of the new crop of decent bolt action blasters because while there were previous budget priced rifles, the 200 didn’t make many of…

    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

    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

    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…

    Savage 10TR Review

    It’s a bit unusual to be reviewing a rifle intended for LEO/Military audiences on a hunting website, but a LEO buddy of mine picked up this Savage and I had to try it, take pictures, and review. There are very few of these out there in the wild, and I thought that some more pics…

  • SK Rifle Match Review

    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…

  • SK Standard Plus Review

    SK Standard Plus Review

    More great German ammo. SK Standard Plus was available at my gun shop for the same price as SK Rifle Match (who priced this stuff out?). Bullets are very concentric with minor marks (you can see them in the image above) that may have happened in the lubing process or in shipping. SK Standard Plus…

    RWS Club Review

    Zee German Ammo For someone who grew up shooting whatever cheap 22 ammo I could get my hands on, these was very high end 22 “shells”. It gave consistently great groups from pretty much all of the rifles that it was shot with. I think that ammo like this hints at the difference in gun cultures…
