    Everybody has been the new kid on the block at one point or another. I remember not so long ago when nobody knew who Rock River Arms was and I was hesitant to buy one of their rifles. In those days if you didn’t have a Colt then the common opinion was you should have bought…

  • 22 Nosler!

    22 Nosler!

    Nosler continues to push the envelope with the introduction of the Nosler 22.  Any new cartridge is met with some amount of skepticism but Nosler brings a certain measure of respect and accomplishment to the argument.  It is interesting that Midway already has complete AR uppers available and in stock for less than $500.  I’m…
