    Hornady Producing 17 WSM

    I said I was going to stop the Rimfire posts while big game was in season, but just 1 more! Hornady has come out with a loading for 17 WSM. One of the main risks with 17 WSM ammo had been that it was only available from Winchester. Now with Hornady producing a 20 grain…

    17 HMR vs 17 WSM

    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,…
