• Trophy of the Month 3 – August

    Name: Adriel Michaud Location: Two Hills, AB, Canada Game: Whitetail deer Firearm: Browning BLR 308 Winchester Short story: First day of the season. Made all sorts of noise getting to my stand, talking, etc. Got there, rattled and this guy peeked out of a bush 20 yards away. Not fantastically big, but easily the fastest…

  • Hogue AR15 Free Float Tube Handguard Mini Review

    Hogue AR15 Free Float Tube Handguard Mini Review

    So, I had my AR15 out at the range, and off bags compared to off hand I was seeing a big shift in my Point Of Impact (POI). Forend pressure was transmitting midway down the barrel to affect where bullets were landing and I did not like it at all. Now, I didn’t want to…

    Marlin Classic Model 1895 Mini Review

    When it comes to big bore rifles for North American game, there’s 1 rifle that stands out as the biggest practical bore to use for short range game busting, the Marlin 1895. Chambered in the ancient 45-70, the 1895 can fire uploaded rounds to stoutly knock down deer, bear, elk, and anything else in North…

  • Aftermarket Stocks for the Marlin 795

    Aftermarket Stocks for the Marlin 795

    The Marlin 795 is a wicked little semi auto 22. From the factory with a heavy enough barrel, conservative 10 round stick magazine, a last round bolt hold open, and a lot of accuracy for the dollar, there’s not much to dislike about the 22. One aspect that won’t get high marks is the composite…

  • Remington 700 SPS Tactical Review

    Remington 700 SPS Tactical Review

    Being named one of the best rifles in history, there really isn’t much to say about the Remington 700 that hasn’t already been said. Right out of the box the rifle can guarantee a bullet will hit its target at over 500 yards, and not a lot of rifles can live up to that reputation.…

  • SVT 40 Review

    SVT 40 Review

    Tokarev SVT40 Review Ahh, my first Russian rifle review. There have been a few Norinco reviews, but no Russians until today. The Tokarev SVT-40 is a semi-automatic rifle chambered in 7.62X54R and it’s a whole lot of fun. I purchased this arsenal refurbished rifle for $249 from Wholesale Sports in Edmonton. I won’t be speaking…

  • Norinco T97NSR Coming to Canada

    Norinco T97NSR Coming to Canada

    They’re here. Check out my review on the Norinco T97 I found it difficult to find complete information on the new Norinco type 97 rifle that is being manufactured and imported into the country. It looks like a very compact, handy small game rifle and I wanted to collate all the publicly available information possible.…

  • Nikon P-223 3X32 Review

    One area where hunting optics haven’t developed very far is in compact optics. On a nice light gun build, bullpup, AR15, or other rifle where you need a bit of magnification in a tight and light package, they fit perfectly. The tradeoffs to a scope that is shorter than a longer standard scope are real,…

    Trophy of the Month 1 – June

    Here in Canada, we’re just getting into Summer, and hunting season seems so far away. Alex (Hunter on a Budget) suggested that we run “Trophy of the Month” to share some of our successful past hunts and get amped up for hunting season and I thought it was a great idea. So if you want…
