Click...., and then bang Part III - Conclusion
I squeezed the trigger on the CVA HunterBolt 209 Magnum – the muzzle jumped and flashed, and a 275 grain PowerBelt bullet headed for the Chrony’s sky screens, just slightly ahead of a substantial white cloud of gunk. Concurrently, the once distant scope ocular came back and popped me with […] [Read More]
Click...., and then bang Part II
I didn’t like concluding the first installment of this series with the report of a missing scope, followed by my crabbing about lacking a local source of propellant. So I thought I’d get in an interim update while I’m trying to finish up the last of Christmas shopping. I anticipate […] [Read More]
Remington's Model 700 Police MLR Part 2
After a long day of trying to get product questions answered by the Maria Callas and Enrico Caruso contingencies within manufacturers’ organizations, I thought I would sit back for a moment and enjoy the influences of my newest mix of heart medication and adjust to a healthier perspective. Ah yes, […] [Read More]
Click...., and then bang
When I was a kid, a bunch of us would go to a place in Bogota, NJ and pick up old military surplus arms; .45-70 Springfields, 11MM Rolling Blocks, even Civil war swords and WW II memorabilia. Of course that was at a time when a person could walk into […] [Read More]
CTK's Precision P3 Ultimate Gun Vise
Occasionally, we will have a company from the firearms industry run an ad, then quit abruptly when we explain we do not write editorial in support of advertising and we don’t post thinly disguised press releases as articles.

Smog Testing the Marlin 17VS
My wife was 19 years old the day we were married, and I wasn’t much older – a mere 36 years ago. She’s little and Irish, both of which I believe have contributed to her: competitive spirit, auto racing trophies, motorcycle license, three sons and an appreciation for firearms and […] [Read More]
Revenge of the Message Boards
I had a number of people ask me to install message boards on the site. It isn’t a lot of work, so I felt if it would be a benefit to anyone registered on the site, why not? I put up a few general groups to act as a catch […] [Read More]
Gadgets and Gizmos
If you’ve been around firearms for more than a few minutes, you begin to accumulate small tools and odds and ends that lend convenience, and sometimes improve, shooting sessions. The benefit of these items could be tightening a scope that shot loose, or steadying a rifle for an off hand […] [Read More]
Take a Kid to the Range Teaching a Grandson About Firearms
One of the reasons liberal agendas, more specifically antigun agendas, proliferate is the over abundance of sources of that type of information, as well as the heavy emphasis on delivery of message to children. You would stand a much greater chance of seeing public school programs where children send gifts […] [Read More]
Weatherby's Mark V Sporter 340 WM Part II
I wasn’t sure if a Part II would be required for the Weatherby Mark V Sporter .340 Weatherby Magnum review. The rifle performed well and looked good in ways that made its $1,600 price tag seem a bargain. Still, there was an opportunity to try something other than factory ammo […] [Read More]
