You asked for it and we got it – a Benelli M4 Civilian. Supposedly this is the gun that settles the Mossberg SPX vs. FN SLP vs. Remington Versa-Max tactical debate. For those who aren’t familiar with the M4, this is the same gun the U.S. Marine Corps are using. The M4 strays away from […]
Anyone who’s been around tactical rifles for any amount of time has heard of Accuracy International. Accuracy International, or simply AI, has been around since 1978. It’s a British based company founded by a relatively small team of Olympian shooters, international competitors and weapons designers. AI is perhaps best known for their AI Arctic Warfare […]
Yes, you read that correctly – this is a review of the Remington 700 ADL. I’m not talking about that dusty, walnut-stocked bargain gun your grandfather bought back in the 1970’s. I’m talking about the cheapest Remington 700 that you can buy today. A Model 700 so cheap that Remington barely acknowledges its existence. You […]
Back in September, I reviewed the MGM full-size IPSC AR500 steel target. I gave it high-marks and you’ll be happy to know that it’s holding up just fine. Of course, the fact that I have yet to shoot a single center-fire rifle bullet at it probably helps. I was going to buy another MGM target […]
I’m new to the reloading world. However, I’ve worked in labs for nearly a decade. I’ve used everything from 0.0001-gram hanging-basket analytical balances to 500-lb rolling scales. As the lab coordinator, annual balances testing and calibration was one of my many jobs. I eventually knew my Mettler representative by name and was even on his […]
A few months ago I was skimming through some of TTAG’s older posts. I re-spotted Nick’s 1000-yard rifle for $500 project. Like many of you I’ve been anxiously awaiting the results, to see what could be pulled from a stock rifle with zero gunsmithing work and a scope that costs less than a decent bipod. Unfortunately, […]
One of my gripes about the Remington 700 XCR Tactical Long Range .308 rifle: it’s lacking in the “tactical” department. I’m not talking mall-ninja tactical (a.k.a., “tacticool”). The Remy doesn’t need a built in knife sharpener, nor should it convert into an emergency shovel. I’m referring to upgrades and add-ons that actually add to the […]
If you read the TTAG About Us page – and you know you should – then you know that I’m currently wrapping up my Master’s Degree in Environmental Management. After working for the past 6 years as a chemist in the semiconductor research and development world, my career will be making a drastic switch this […]
I have to admit that I’ve had a beef with Remington lately. After being totally disappointed with an 887 Nitro Mag, seeing numerous QC issues with Model 700 rifles –including an problem a fellow TTAG writer had – having an issue with a 700 myself, then seeing a brand-new 870 lock up on the […]
Most movie goers would agree that sequels and threquels of movies are rarely as good as the original. There are very few I can say I like as well as, let alone better than, the original. Shrek Forever After, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, and Toy Story 3 are a few of the […]
Everyone who has looked to purchase a scope has without a doubt run across the “mil”, “MOA”, and “milrad” abbreviations. I have a top-notch factory Remington 700 (XCR Tactical Long Range) that is just itching to be tested. The only problem was deciding on what glass to purchase. I eventually decided and placed my order […]
Part’s I and II are done and now it’s “arts & crafts” time. I must admit, the thought of ruining my favorite elk and javelina gun initially didn’t sit well with me. But, I’m confident in my abilities and promised myself that I would take my time. If you read Part II, you know that […]
