The title says it all. Hornady‘s Neal Emery discusses a new0ish product line – the A-Tip Match bullet. This particular bullet is capped with an aluminum tip, and has been in the Hornady shop for a while. However, it has just now become economically feasible for a wide array of ammunition due to the increased […]
There’s a reason I have reviewed two Blaser R8 rifles. To quote Craig Boddington: “Just spend some time with it! Amazing system…that’s what I’ve hunted with the most since 2010, wound up buying one for me and a short-stocked R8 for Donna. The amazing thing is you can switch barrels and scopes back and forth […]
One of the best aspects of coming to any hunting/shooting convention is being some of the first people to see brand new products. That was the case when we approached Josh Cluff of H-S Precision. Well-recognized for their stocks and rifles built for long-range hunting, competition and military/law enforcement applications, the designers at H-S have […]
When my wife and I first met Jérôme Lanoue, it was on his home turf in St. Etienne, France. Specifically, it was at the L’Atelier Verney-Carron production facility (see that post here). We were amazed by the beautiful work being done by each of the artisans working in Verney-Carron. Now, though, we’re in Dallas […]
When I first got the Vortex Fury HD 5000 rangefinding binoculars to review, I envisioned focusing on hunting trips. But then I enrolled in a precision rifle course at Government Training Institute – Legion that had me shooting at distances longer than I’d ever shot from before. As you’ll see, all of the tests of […]
“Let’s go hunting.” It was as simple, and complex, as that. My brother, Randy, and I had been chatting on the phone. I think he knew I was in trouble. Of course, he knew that I had received my diagnosis of Stage 4 cancer. He also knew that the prognosis was bleak. And, I think […]
My first exposure to a Daniel Defense DELTA 5 rifle was at the recent Government Training Institute – Legion Precision Rifle Course (see my reviews for Day 1 and Day 2 of the course). Joe Marler, priorly of the USMC and now Daniel Defense’s Law Enforcement Sales Manager, used a DELTA 5 in .308 for […]
As seems to be routine, I have another confession to make before beginning my review. The box sent to me by Armageddon Gear with their Ultralight Shooting Mat and Waxed Canvas Optimized Game Changer support bag also included one of their Data Armbands. The plan was to use the pad, the bag and band during […]
Read Part 1 here. Day two of the Government Training Institute – Legion’s Precision Rifle With Elevated Shooting Course began, as with Day 1, in the classroom. The lessons reviewed stock and body positioning – as centered in the chest and as much contact with the earth as possible, respectively. In terms of shooting from […]
My good friend had been encouraging me to accompany him to the Government Training Institute – Legion‘s Precision Rifle With Elevated Shooting Course. His urging finally produced a result and I signed up for the latest iteration of this training session, held at the GTI Legion training facility just outside of the Savannah River Site. […]
“Francois says a 3-12 variable scope and 250-300 yard shots.” – Zani The above message was the catalyst for the eventual purchase of the Nightforce SHV 4-14 x 56 Riflescope that is currently mounted on my pet rifle – a plain-Jane, synthetic-stocked, Remington Model 700 chambered to 7mm Remington Magnum. The question was directed to […]
After all of my posturing about only reviewing firearms “for hunters,” this gun review is generally not for those interested in shooting game. Instead, the rifle under discussion – the MG Arms Banshee in .300 Winchester Magnum – was designed by Kerry and Carol O’Day to be (in their own words) “the ultimate long-range tactical […]
