Remington's Model R-15™ VTR Predator Carbine Part I
Really distracted… birthday shopping for two granddaughters at the moment. Very different from what shopping for our now grown sons used to be, or even for our grandsons. You know, you give guys a brick in a bag with a card. They never stop checking their finger tips after picking […] [Read More]
The Burris Fullfield II
I was watching “Elementary” on TV when a weather warning was displayed as a ribbon along the bottom of my screen and reduced the show’s image by approximately 1/3rd. I turned away to complain to my wife about this disconcerting development, then turned back to find the banner had been […] [Read More]
Rossi's R92 454 Casull Part II
I really enjoy face to face conversation about firearms. It helps me to understand the source of communication, in context with experience and perhaps the setting. It’s amazing how much firearm knowledge seems to evaporate when a person can’t search Google or pull information from a message board thread. To recall […] [Read More]
Rossi's R92 454 Casull Part I
Facebook tending has driven me back to music. You know, the kind of music that makes you listen to the words, tap your toes and think how certain songs do a better job of expressing the facts of your life than you ever could. After half an hour spent on […] [Read More]
Winchester's Grade III Model 70
We love early mid 20th century America. Cars were faster, homes were low cost, everyone was happy, and all Winchesters shot 1/2 MOA groups… 5 shot groups, not those sissy 3 shot groups of today. Elmer Keith was a living legend. Jack O’Connor was a living legend and they controlled […] [Read More]
Quick Sights for the Marlin 1895
I like classic design lever action rifles, particularly the most recent generation with high reliability of function and bolt action like accuracy. I actually like semi-buckhorn rear sights and hooded bead front sights. At the range, or out hunting where there might be time for a well considered shot, they […] [Read More]
Heritage Manufacturing's Rough Rider
This revolver has been in the review queue for some time. Just wasn’t sure what I wanted to say. On one hand is my assessment of the product from the perspective of a person who has examined many firearms over a period of many years… enough of both to know […] [Read More]
Personal Firearms
I’m pretty sure Facebook, and many current message boards, are the manifestation of a growing communist philosophy. Their intent is to use peer pressure to negotiate enthusiastic and creative people down to the lowest group consensus denominator. If a person suggests that they want to try something different, they will […] [Read More]
Para-USA's Elite Commander
After working with, and working on, a good number of 1911 type pistols, I can truly appreciate the many ways in which the 1911 design has evolved in commercial firearms. Unfortunately, there are lots of folks who insist the original military 1911 and 1911A1 are the best of all produced. […] [Read More]
Browning's 1911-22A1 Autoloading Rimfire
I have to give Browning a lot of credit for their decision to offer a Morgan, Utah manufactured, .22 long rifle rimfire autoloader that emulates the appearance of John Browning’s famous 1911 pistol. Particularly since U.S. manufacturers, for the most part, are producing .22 rimfire autoloaders that look like […] [Read More]
