After months of carrying and shooting the Kevlar stocked CZ 550 American Safari Magnum, I’ve come to the conclusion I like this gun, a lot, or I wouldn’t still be carrying and shooting it after all this time. I can usually go from excitement over a new gun to boredom […] [Read More]

The .416 Ruger M77 Hawkeye Alaskan Part II Handloading and roll your own dies? Really.
