Firearm information for the enthusiast
The heavy barrel Remington Model 700 reflects a tradition of powerful, long range reaching and very accurate rifles. Its worth can be found in the Marine Corps 1966 – present M40 and the Army’s 1988 – present M24 sniper systems and in the hands of hunters and competitive shooters around […]

The Winchester Model 70 Super Grade needs no introduction… O.K. Joe, so why are you writing an introduction? Hey! Don’t be a smart ass. Every day, new shooters join the ranks of firearm enthusiasts without the benefit of knowing the full scope of firearm availability, or the history of brands […]
No rock-a-billy, no 60’s rock, no Neil Young, no Jackson Browne… not even the Eagles. Today it is all Commodores and singing along with front man Lionel Richie. Great voice, mellow fellow and I can actually understand the words to his songs. Anyway… The Ruger 77 Series rifles: 77/44, 77/357, […]

There is much greater satisfaction in cutting up a tomato from the garden for a dinner salad, than […]
So far, this has been what I can only term an agricultural year. My wife and I put in a couple of raised vegetable gardens and some grow bags and we are well on our way to a harvest of potatoes, peppers, corn, onions… three kinds, carrots, beans, strawberries, and […]
My wife and I were after dinner, mambo dancing to Kid Creole And The Coconuts… as we often do, when I got to thinking about how, when it comes to firearms, “new” is a big draw. Why not? It is fun to wring out a new combination, handload a new […]
