It was originally called the .30-30AR. That’s because Bill Wilson of Wilson Combat appreciates the terminal effect of the old .30-30 Winchester, but also enjoys the popular AR-15. So, he set out to make a round that would duplicate the old workhorse .30-30 in an AR-15 platform rifle. He’s certainly not the first person to try. […]
Gun Review: Cimarron Firearms 1866 Yellowboy Pawnee Carbine While the 1860 Henry may be the rifle that started it all, it was the next version, the 1866 Winchester that takes the credit for the first true lever action saddle gun. The “Improved Henry” as it was originally called, was durable enough for use around the […]
I’ve rarely been dissatisfied with Leupold optics. Their consistent quality and durability are characteristics I have come to rely on throughout the years. For certain, that gold ring carries some weight. In late January 2018 Leupold announced their newest family of optics, the VX-Freedom Series. One hundred percent designed, machined, assembled, and (if […]
The 1860 Henry wasn’t the first repeating rifle. That would be the 1848 Volition Repeating Rifle. Nor was it “the gun that won the West.” If any single repeater has a claim at that title, it’s the 1873 Winchester. The Henry was neither, and yet at the same time, it was more important than either […]
When two Henry Repeating Arms rimfire lever action rifles (LARs) landed in my hands for review, I thought about all of the fun things I could do with them…like threading barrels. Then I thought about the things I needed to do with them – like accuracy testing, which meant scoping the two LARs. The Henry’s receiver […]
A couple of years ago I reviewed the time tested Henry AR7 Survival Rifle, and loved it. Then I reviewed the Henry Survival Kit, and I liked it enough to buy one for every vehicle I own as well as my “Things Have Gone Awry” bag. For 2018, Henry has combined key survival items with […]
In a post called Why You Shouldn’t Take a Gun When Hiking on the Appalachian Trail: IMI Systems Quote of the Day, a snowflake named Margaret (not shown) offered a whole lot of reasons why she wouldn’t tool-up for her national forest adventures. TTAG’s Armed Intelligentsia shot down her arguments with extreme prejudice. Which left […]
Reader Philip Reboli writes: Long before I knew how a direct gas impingement system works, I admired the lever action rifle. It straddles the manual of arms between the muzzle loader and modern, magazine-fed rifle. The deliberate motions necessary to eject and load a round feel rugged. The unmistakable sound of the metal-on-metal friction while […]
(sponsored post) There may not be a better hunting gun — no matter what you’re hunting — than a lever action rifle. And no one does lever action rifles better than Henry Repeating Arms. And since it’s always a good time to win a great gun, now is the time to enter the Henry Repeating […]

My dream rifle is currently in the hands of Kiote Corporation. Although it will be significantly modified, it started its journey as a Ruger No. 1-H in .375H&H Magnum. Almost as soon as I shot the 1-H, I realized I had a problem . . . I liked the rifle. I really liked the rifle. […]
