The Ruger Mini-14: Is It A Good SHTF Rifle?

The Ruger Mini-14 is not a sniper rifle, nor was it ever intended to even come close to being one. As the name implies, it's intended for ranchers and farmers to defend their livestock from predators. Or for people to defend against two-legged attackers anywhere. Police and Corrections have also used the Mini-14 over the decades to good effect. The number of these rifles that have been produced tells us that a lot of people use them and that they are popular.

Magpul’s Magnificent Magazines: An Overview

If you haven't discovered Magpul products yet, especially their PMAGs, it's high time that you do. The combination of high quality, low price, and great performance, in addition to their light weight and durability, make these magazines a no-brainer.

Vortex Crossfire II And Strike Eagle: A Comparison Review

Is one of these Vortex scopes vastly superior to the other? To be perfectly honest, we could have switched these scopes up and put them on either rifle with similar positive results. Don't just take my word for it. Read on!

Shooting Sticks: Useful or Useless?

When deciding which sticks are best for you, it’s important to do the usual and think about what you’re doing with them. If you’re going to be hiking into the mountains for a hunt, you probably don’t want bulky shooting sticks. And if you tend to put a fair amount of pressure on them, you don’t want a slender model that’s literally going to buckle under the weight.

Streamlight TLR RM 2: Full Review

This is my first time using the TLR RM 2 light, but it appears to be a solid light. During other reviews, I have put their lights through multiple reliability tests. These include dropping them on concrete, freezing them, submerged in water, etc. At some point, I will put this light through the same tests, but I have no doubt it will hold up just fine.

Sig Sauer P365 vs. P365XL: Is There Really A Difference?

Is the Sig Sauer P365XL any better than the standard P365? What are the differences? And are those differences true improvements, or just a way to help customers part with more cash?

Daniel Defense DDM4 A1 RIII: Worth the Price Tag?

Besides the bare bones, the DDM4 also comes with a Daniel Defenses “Grip-N-Rip” charging handle. This is an extended charging handle made from 7075-T6 aluminum with stainless steel roll pins. I like the size of the charging handle because it sticks out just enough to get a good grip on it without catching on things.

IWI Zion-15 Rifle: Quality and Value

The tolerances are tight with no rattling. It was smooth and accurate. The B5 furniture made it comfortable. It’s just a nice firearm. But, as I said before, that’s what we expect from IWI. Between us, we own four IWI pistols, and they all run like champs.

Ruger No. 1 Varminter Rifle: Classic Style

The Ruger No. 1 Varminter rifle is still sought after, but it is very difficult to find these days, much less at an affordable price. This 1976 Bicentennial edition is a stellar example of the craftsmanship of years gone by that we just don't see anymore. The heft of the heavy barrel, along with the walnut stock, is solid and pleasing. These rifles are capable of excellent accuracy with a very strong action. The action works as smoothly as butter, making it a real pleasure and novelty to operate. Overall, it's a unique and interesting rifle!
