    ISSC Scout SR Review

    The ISSC Scout SR is a straight-pull, toggle-action, 22LR rifle made in Austria. It’s very similar to the ISSC SPA that I reviewed 2 years ago but this one has more of a Steyr Scout look to it: with a full top rail forend and a stock that contains a survival knife if you get…

    Savage A22 22LR Review

    I just recently purchased another Savage A22 because it was on sale (this is a common theme for me, I buy when things go on sale). This one came with a scope, 10 round mag, and a 25 round mag while my original review was on the basic model so I thought I’d get it…

    The Best Canadian Firearms Media: YouTube Channels, Blogs, Podcasts, and Magazines

    I’ve been around guns all my life, but only picked up an earnest interest in them as a hobby since 2003. In that time, the internet landscape for Canadian shooters has grown, and I’d argue that we’ve got a couple of really cool outlets considering our population. So where do you go to get more…

    Nitecore NU05 Review

    The Nitecore NU05 is a new, super lightweight headlamp from Nitecore. They sent one over to me to review along with their popular hiking headlamp NU25. The NU05 is pretty purpose-built: it’s made to be extremely lightweight, small, and simple to use. It comes with a headstrap, it can be stuck to the back of…

  • Klarus XT2CR Pro Review

    Klarus XT2CR Pro Review

    One of my earliest reviews that even pre-dates this website, was my review of the Klarus XT2C. Like that flashlight, the XT2CR Pro is a portable hand-sized, 18650-powered flashlight. But technology has marched on and the XT2CR Pro has 4X the lumens at top power of my older XT2C. It also has a built-in charging…

  • Valmet M78 LMG .308 Review

    Valmet M78 LMG .308 Review

    The Valmet M78 LMG is an AK pattern rifle made in Finland. They’re semi automatic, made for the civilian market and they’re non-restricted in Canada. Unfortunately, they haven’t been made in a long time, so they’re quite pricey ($5,000-10,000) and so they’re more of a curio than a practical rifle for hunting or sport shooting.…
