Smith & Wesson's Equalizer
There is a trail camera placed a quarter mile back in the woods. I should have retrieved it two months ago, but it is cold outside and I am not motivated to go off the road to retrieve it; put on my boots and drag my ass out to get […]
Tomorrow's Rifle Today, Or Your Father's Rifle Yesterday?
12/4/2022 – It seems there are two camps when it comes to Weatherby firearms and cartridges, which has pretty much been the case since Roy Weatherby started hawking his brand in the 1940s. To some, he was a salesman, flamboyant in the representation of his products. To others, he was […]
The 7x57mm... or 275 Rigby Part II
11/27/2022 – I don’t particularly care for putting in range time in the winter. No matter what gear I put on, sitting still at a bench results in numb feet, frosty fingers and a face wind burned into leather. Hunting in the cold is a different thing because, with the […]
Editorial - The Cost of Living In America

Holidays
This is more of a personal message that won’t appear on the Real Guns home page, but will go to the article list. So feel free to skip it if the message is not of interest. In fact, it is more my penance than a message… a mariner’s rime. Most […]
You Don't Have To Go Broke To Go Hunting
11/06/2022 – I was listening to Tom Waits this morning; “Hold On”, “Downtown Train”, “Looking For The Heart Of Saturday”, “Bounced Checks”… Yeah, I know. I’ve been to music taste rehabs a few times, but it just doesn’t seem to stick. I spent my developmental years listening to Bob Dylan […]
Bullet Seating Versus Pressure
Tough year. A year of major loss and a year of counting blessings. But, you know what I mean, that’s life. We all experience the same. All you can do is work, keep busy and find those momentary distractions. Hard labor provides a great non-pharmaceutical sedative. Good people leave many […]
