• Ruger 10/22 vs Remington 597

    There are many options when it comes to purchasing your first firearm.  For me, I settled on the idea of purchasing a semi-auto rifle chambered in 22 LR. I reasoned that a 22 is cheap to feed, ammo is widely available, and it will help me learn the fundamentals of proper shooting techniques without breaking…

    Dominion Arms DA 556 on sale

    Looking for an excuse to buy your first AR-15? Canada Ammo has their Dominion Arms DA556’s on sale right now for $599. I have no affiliation with them, but thought this is a deal worth mentioning to Canadian firearms owners. This is similar to a new-version Norinco CQ-A, except it has a quad forend. I’ve…

  • Shooting Prohibited Firearms

    Shooting Prohibited Firearms

    As the word prohibited implies, these are “banned” firearms that cannot be owned by the average Canadian.  While I won’t go into depth of Canadian firearm laws, if I did, this article would be 50,000 words long and would quickly devolve into a rant about how unjust Canadian Gun laws are. For those who are…

  • Bushnell Trophy XLT 1.75-4x32mm Review

    Bushnell Trophy XLT 1.75-4x32mm Review

    I thought I’d crack out a quick review on the Bushnell Trophy XLT 1.75-4 x 32mm Circle X scope. This is a mid to short range, compact, value priced scope. You might look to a scope in this class to top off a beater 30-30, truck coyote rifle, or even a shotgun or crossbow where…

  • JR Carbine Discussion and Parts Swap

    JR Carbine Discussion and Parts Swap

    When buying a new firearm,  swapping parts is usually not the first thought that comes to mind. My thought process  usually starts with me going to the store, fondling a potential new purchase and trying to resist the initial urge to buy it. I will then go home and try to read as many reviews as…

  • Norinco T97 Sling

    Norinco T97 Sling

    The smaller loops on the T97 make it more difficult to mount a sling. If you’re ok with a simple black sling, I’ve found the NCStar black SKS sling to do the trick. It’s cheaply made, but for the price, you could buy two.

  • Remington Targetmaster Delux Gun Cleaning Kit Mini Review

    Remington Targetmaster Delux Gun Cleaning Kit Mini Review

      It’s a bit funny to review a cleaning kit, but I thought I’d take a stab at discussing traditional all-in-one kits like this one vs Bore Snakes and newer style packaging. First off, what this kit does well: All the parts in one case. My bore snakes are all over the place, this has…

  • Flattest Shooting Hunting Calibers

    Flattest Shooting Hunting Calibers

    Yeah, yeah, I know they’re cartridges and not calibers, but lots of people call them calibers so I thought I’d roll with it. I thought I’d run an article on the flattest shooting rifle cartridges to compare and contrast both what’s popular, as well as a few of the high performance options out there. The…

  • Knight and Hale Pack Rack Mini Review

    Knight and Hale Pack Rack Mini Review

    Another mini review, this time with Knight & Hale’s Pack Rack ™. Packing along a full deer rack to rattle in bucks works, but the antlers are pretty bulky and can be cumbersome packing into a day pack, and potentially loud if you’re climbing up a tree stand and your antlers are held together with…

  • Range Report: T97 vs AR15

    I finally got a chance to wring out my Norinco T97 and AR15 for accuracy today. I could do more next time: run target 10X+ scopes and shoot in less windy weather, but I had the fundamentals solid with a good rest and comfortable target picture. I shot 10 shot groups which are superior to…
