I bought a Remington Sendero because… I like the way it looks. Then I liked the way the big magnum shot, so much so that I could see the practical application for an 8 lb 12 oz rifle. When I am not shooting it on the 100 yard home course, […]

Some people would look at this picture and just see a gun with a pile of ammo. Some would look at it and see a photograph of questionable technical composition. I look at it and think, “Now there’s a fun day”. And, as it turned out, I had the inside […]

The Models 798 and 799 were imported from the manufacturer in Serbia as barreled actions and fitted with a laminated stock by Remington in Mayfield, Kentucky.

I have had the flu for a week. Basically, this means I hacked and coughed for a few days, realize I was not going to receive sympathy from my wife, so I got better because there is no percentage in being ill. Many years ago, a flu meant I got […]

My personal theory, and I have lots of theories, is that firearms have filled the void for many automotive enthusiasts who can no longer participate in automotive racing. Even just a decade ago, a couple thousand dollars would be enough to put together a streetable bracket racer, with much of […]
