Review: Frankford Arsenal Ammo Vault Slip Top Locking 20 Round Ammunition Box

2012-02-15T07:23:51Z

This is my chosen box when I need a solid box for my rifle ammo. I like the fact that the top locks onto the bottom, so the top won't slip off and dump your ammo everywhere - and that's especially important when you have more than one load in a box (as when you're testing reloads, etc). It can also be useful for transporting factory ammo also, but don't forget to cut the end flap off the factory box and tape it to this box so you know what load you've got.

Review: Kleen-Bore ChamberMate

2012-02-14T09:00:08Z

The Kleen-Bore Chambermate is a great tool, and I really enjoy owning it. I've been using this one for more than ten years now, and it has always done well. I had one Mossberg shotgun that really benefitted from this chamber cleaning tool, and I routinely use it on every 12 gauge shotgun that I clean.

Before You Buy a Used Rifle

2012-02-13T08:20:00Z

I love buying used stuff. I usually buy my vehicles, houses, and many other things second-hand - including most of my guns. Every now and then I do bite the bullet and buy something brand spanking new, but quite often that doesn't make sense financially. Sure, used guns lack that brand-new look and feel, but you can almost always get a used gun for less than buying new, and that often helps a lot. Of course, there are usually more questionable aspects of a used gun versus a new one, and that's where this article comes in...

Don't Aim High, Hunters!

2012-02-09T12:09:32Z

Many's the buck or bull that walked away from an encounter with a hunter because the hunter thought the critter was farther away than it really was, or that his or her gun didn't shoot as flat as it really does. Here's the thing - they usually ain't that far away, and the majority of guns in the hunting woods these days shoot flat enough that they'll reach way on out there and still hit within the kill zone. Read on to learn more...

Review/Profile: Winchester Model 62A Pump (Slide) Action Rifle

2012-02-08T08:59:56Z

You could say that this rifle was born in the 1800s, but that doesn't mean it's outdated or that it can't keep up with any modern 22 rifle. On the contrary - in many ways it's superior to some of its modern counterparts. While this particular gun has been "rode hard and put away wet," it's still very functional and dependable, and can be easily taken down to a short length if you need to conserve space. Check it out - the 62A is a nice old rifle that deserves respect and admiration.

Your Most Memorable Hunt?

2012-02-07T07:40:39Z

I have been on a bunch of hunts... heck, this past deer season was my 30th, and I started hunting small game before that. I've been an many hunts that I have probably forgotten, even though they were good (they're almost all good), but there are a number of them that I hope I never do forget. Whether you got your truck stuck or nailed your first (or biggest) deer or something else, please tell us about your most memorable hunt - the one that sticks out in your mind more than any other.

Review: Elzetta Tactical Flashlight Holder & Picatinny Rail Kit (AR15/M16/M4)

2012-02-06T08:18:47Z

I never could find anything to dislike about this light holder. I don't give five star reviews for no reason, so you can bet it scores that well based on design, quality, durability, etc.

My Made-to-Order Buck

2012-02-02T07:59:49Z

Last season, I had an experience that was unique for me: I went hunting based on game camera photos - and I brought home one of the bucks that was in the photos! The best part is that this was the only buck of the bunch that we had decided was a "shooter." I love it when that happens! Game cameras can help your hunting, for sure.

Can I Use 45 Colt Ammunition in my 1917 Colt 45 Revolver?

2012-02-01T08:56:26Z

This question is a no-brainer for me, mainly because I've known the answer since I was a kid and Dad educated me on the Colt 1917 Army revolver. But I found out through some online research that there's a lot of very bad - and extremely dangerous - misinformation out there, so it's high time someone set the record straight.
