Mounting a scope on the BLR is an easy proposition. Major suppliers offer aftermarket bases and rings and Browning offers a one piece scout base as an accessory for the rifle. The scout base, #12326, is a nicely finished piece that is held in place with screws and a locator […]

Ah yes, a little more snow in the land of the plow trucks. About five years ago my wife and I purchased a garden tractor in an effort to be more self sufficient. Besides cultivating and lawn care attachments, we picked up a four foot wide snow blower that is […]

Working around firearms all day is a lot like being a fat kid who works in a candy store. He consumes more than he earns and his motives for employment are believed to be highly suspect. I can live with that. I’ve worked with the 7mm Ultra Mag previously, a […]

I actually own some firearms. Mostly the ones I don’t get to shoot often. The ones that serve as the centerpiece to my “I’ll never get a round to it” project list. This 41 Magnum Ruger Blackhawk was going to be my “I’m sending this to (insert expensive gunsmith/artist)” special […]

I believe I’ve heard the same in regard to firearms, motorcycles, automobiles, rocketry, and potato guns which proves, if anything, that I am consistent. Criticism wasn’t leveled at my technical assessment of the subject air rifle’s […]

A search for a vintage Remington Model 12 slide action 22 rimfire rifle was underway at Real Guns™. Unfortunately, examples fell into one of three categories: retrieved from the bottom of an ocean, sanded slick and refinished to look flawlessly new and/or so expensive I’d be classified a dilettante if […]

I have to admit, I have been having fun with Mossberg rifles as of late. First it was the Mossberg 464™ Lever Action Rifle, now it’s the Mossberg 4×4™ Bolt Action Rifle. None of these are new introductions as much as newly revised products and firearms we have not covered […]
