Thanksgiving 2000
It’s Thanksgiving morning, and the bird will go into the oven soon, family members will start trickling in around noon, and it will be a good day. Still, there is something different about the holidays, the same thing I noticed on the 4th of July, then again on Columbus day. […] [Read More]
It's a sling...no, it's a Lateeego
I can always tell when I get a gun and all of its ancillary equipment just right. The parts all fit and look right together, and the result is a good looking functional piece of equipment, not unlike most of us…just prior to high school graduation. There are lots of […] [Read More]
Life after Leupold - Warne

Rifles Chambered for the Hornady .17 HMR
The Henry Repeating Arms Varmint Express Lever .17 RF, without scope, is a $450+ gun without scope. It’s a very nice package at under 6 lbs, 10 shot capacity and a 20″ barrel, but still a lot of money for a casual shooter rimfire rifle. The Marlin .17V bolt […] [Read More]
The politics of firearms and America's new royalty
I apologize for the political commentary. I know people like to separate politics from firearms sites and publications, but if not here, where ? If you’ve been trying to become educated on the issues and see what both sides have to offer by watching cable and network news, you’d probably […] [Read More]
