Sleepy brand no more, Thompson/Center has just launched a chassis gun. We’ll get hands-on at the NRA Show here and hopefully follow up with a review soon. With T/C’s reputation for accuracy and an MSRP of just $1,211, this guy should prove popular. T/C’s press release follows . . . Performance Center® Introduces T/C® Long Range Rifle in […]
TacStar, a subsidiary of Lyman Products, announced an addition to their existing line of aftermarket long-gun products. The newcomer is the TacStar Brass Catcher, a device that mounts to the Picatinny rail of AR-platform rifles. According to the company, the product’s aluminum component is fully adjustable and low profile, meaning it can be used in […]
For some lucky youngsters, a .22 caliber lever gun is their first firearm. Not me. My first gun was a .22-caliber bolt-action rifle. A firearm that made me concentrate on each shot, but was nowhere near as fun or cool as Lucas McCain’s weapon. So, with a chance to regain a bit of my wishful childhood, […]
In the video below, a Russian shooter get to grips with “Twilight.” No, he doesn’t sparkle. He or someone like him hits a target 4,210 meters (13,812 feet) away. That smashes the previous record of 4,157 meters (13,638 feet), set in the US back in November 2016, when Jim Spinella hit a 36” plate at 4210 […]
May I not be struck down for the blasphemy I’m about to utter – I’m sick of AR 15s. Based on the tepid reaction to that statement from the rest of the TTAG crew at the 2017 SHOT show, I’m not alone with my thoughts. On the prowl for the sort of thing that would […]

All summer long, deer carelessly present themselves in ideal hunting spots. Then, as hunting season approaches, they seem to disappear into thin air. There are a lot of reasons why this happens. First and hopefully most obvious is YOU. Deer have very keen senses. Sensibly enough, they sense man’s presence as a threat. All of a sudden, after a long […]
One of the reasons we started the Texas Firearms Festival — besides providing a fun, truly unique shooting experience — was to further the gun culture. From its first year back in 2014, we were surprised by all of the novices — people who had never even handled a gun before — who have come […]
By the time I picked up my Armalite M-15 3-gun rifle from my local range, it was already covered in fingerprints. The guys at my range knew it was coming, and its arrival was highly anticipated – not just by me, but by them as well! So, they got a head start on inspecting all […]
I had been feeling bad about my poor Mosin. There it was, sitting under a bunk bed in the cabin. All but forgotten and slowly rusting away. It had probably been two years since it was last fired. I know I’m not alone here – there are maybe 4,000,000 Mosin Nagants in the U.S.. Hard […]
Here at TTAG, we love the lowly Mosin-Nagant. I waxed historical about it last September, and Ralph just taught you all you need to know about its care, grooming and feeding. From buttplate to bayonet, the cheap and ugly Russian utters a sturdy Proletariat challenge: Mock me at your peril, capitalist pig! Today’s object of […]
