    Sighting in a Rifle for Long Range Hunting

    Modern bolt action rifles are a modern day pleasure. Considering what people earn these days, an accurate bolt action rifle is much more within reach than it ever has been before. A new Remington 700 in 1962 would cost $115. That’s at a time when average monthly household income was $500. In 2012, the average…

    Browning X-Bolt Review

    I’ve wanted to do this review for a while now and after a recent outing with the x-bolt, I had enough fresh in my mind to bring up about this rifle and do the review. What is the Browning XBolt for? Seems like a silly question, but it’s not. The Browning X-Bolt is NOT a…

  • Remington M887 NitroMag Review

    Remington M887 NitroMag Review

    When I asked fellow gun enthusiastic friends to name the first shotgun that came to mind, the majority responded with “Remington 870”. Not one mentioned the Remington M887 NitroMag. This made me wonder if anyone had even heard of this boom stick before or if they just kept it in the “piece of crap” section…

    Norinco M305 Shorty Review

    Not long after the first Polytech or Norinco M305 rifles (See my regular length Norinco M14S review here) arrived in Canada, there were those who wanted to chop the 22″ barrels down to the legal limit of 18.5″ to make them a bit handier. This involved a few tricks, because it’s not as straightforward as…

    Redfield Revolution 3-9X50 Review

    I have a personal sweet spot in riflescopes where the optical quality is “good enough” for hunting and the reliability is too. For me, that spot is most standard riflescopes that are $200-$500. There are plenty of great scopes in this range, such as Bushnell Elites, Vortex Diamondbacks, Classic Weavers, Nikon Monarchs and ProStaffs, Millets,…

    Winner of the Haggard-est Hunting Boots Contest

    The haggard-est hunting boots contest ran from January to the end of February and it’s time to choose a winner. Now, we had some fantastic entries and it was really hard to pick. I was so torn, I had to take it down to a vote with a few other hunting buddies and even then,…

    Savage Axis Accessories

    The Savage Axis is an incredibly inexpensive rifle and will be the starting point for a lot of hunters. I’ve got a few Axis-specific accessories below, but in order, here’s what I think should be replaced or upgraded: Trigger.

  • What is the most accurate 130 grain 270 Winchester?

    What is the most accurate 130 grain 270 Winchester?

    I love the 270. It’s cheap, fast, accurate enough, comes in all sorts of rifles, carries enough to kill a deer at distance, and recoils well within reason. Out of my “popular hunting rounds” article, it’s easily my favorite. So when an opportunity to get a boxing sale Savage Axis came up, I got one…

    Dorcy LED Headlamp Review

    It’s no big secret, I love LED flashlights and headlamps. So when Dorcy asked if they could send me a new LED headlamp to review, I couldn’t turn it down. I’ve bought 2 sets of Dorcy headlamps last Christmas for my parents, who need them to do chores at night on the farm. One was…
