I like to write pieces for Real Guns. I can write whatever I want and the editor will not come along, clipping and cutting, to recreate the work in his or her own image. Elsewhere, I was recently edited down from a 4,500 word piece to an 800 word piece […]

Fall in Maine is a great time to be outdoors. The air is cool, but still not really cold, and the leaves have turned color, but cover is still heavy. I was in a small clearing, shooting from the prone position at a target roughly 100 yards out, building experience […]

The listed firearms are worth notice, but have been getting buried in general inventory. These are all brand new, in factory wrapping and goo, and have not been pulled from retail display. If you are interested, call Cindy at (207) 655-2183. M-F 9AM – 6PM or email to my attention […]

It has been an interesting week. After hearing way too many horror stories from friends and relatives regarding damaged and lost items attributed to moving companies, my wife and I decided we could do a better job of moving important personal possessions and at a lower cost. So we rented […]

The shop is near done, a few interior touches remain…like flooring and covered walls, but it is moving along quickly. Electrical and heat is in, the building inspector signed off, and it already feels like a place where people talk about guns…in positive terms. A few guys were up to […]

If you’ve been following the CZ 550 375 H&H project, you’re probably aware the rifle is scoped with a Mueller 3-10×44 Tac II. Initially, I thought this scope might represent a magnification overkill and, because it lacked a national debt size price tag, it might not hold up under the […]
