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!

Vortex Crossfire HD 1400 Laser Rangefinder Review
The Vortex Crossfire HD 1400 rangefinder has made me more precise in my shots, and it will admittedly help me in the deer woods. So, here’s my take on the Vortex Crossfire HD 1400 from a guy who often grumbles about relying too heavily on technology.
Calico M950: The Future Blaster That Never Was
I only have one drum for the M950, but I imagine reloads aren't super fast. The gun lacks a last-round bolt hold open device. There is a manual bolt lock but not an automatic one. It's also a process to remove and insert a new magazine. I guess that's a good argument for getting the 100-round drum instead of the 50-round drum. Who needs to reload then?

Muzzle Brakes vs. Flash Hiders: What’s The Difference?
Among our choices for muzzle devices, there are two that are very popular: Muzzle brakes and flash hiders. For certain platforms, they simply do not look "right" without something on the end of that muzzle. Take the AR-15, for example; it practically requires some sort of muzzle device if it's going to look anywhere near what a normal AR should look like. But what to choose? The choices these days are vast. We'll examine the differences between muzzle brakes and flash hiders today so readers can learn what each does and make an informed decision about which device is best for their personal needs. Each has benefits and drawbacks, which we plan to point out by the end of this article.
Swampfox Liberty II and Vortex Defender-ST: A Comparison
I’ve put both optics through the same tests and both held up great. Picking the one that’s best for you will come down to the mounting footprint, which features you like most and how much you are willing to spend. Whichever optic you choose however will be a great choice and I don’t think you will be disappointed.
