Ruger Precision Rifle vs Savage 12LRP head to head which is better and why
With the Precision Rifle Series gaining wild popularity, people are looking at getting into the sport but are unsure if they want to drop $4,000 on a rifle and $2,000 on an optic just to see if they like it. Others are unable to spend that much but still want to play the game. Also,…

Kimber Warrior is a 1911 win
There are some guns that just feel absolutely perfect from the second you pick it up. The weight, the balance, the grip, everything about it just feels like it was made for you. This is how I felt when I first held the Kimber Warrior.

Silencerco Salvo – Is it worth it?
With movies making silencers out to be tools of an assassin like the move ‘No Country for Old Men’, our not so friendly liberal left has ammunition to keep the legislation of deregulation off the table.
