Last year, I got my first experience with the Browning X-Bolt, using a Hell’s Canyon model in 6.5 Creedmore. I came away very impressed, my respect for the Browning name rekindled. They got a lot right with this model, from the trigger to the muzzle brake. So when the chance popped up to take a look at the X-bolt Pro in 300 Winchester Magnum, I hopped on it.

Po Boy 47 Suppressor- $200 Economic Solution
Published: June 28, 2018 { 15 comments }This week, we are taking a look at the most affordable suppressor in the nation, provided you don’t roll your own. (More on that later, not without a class 7 license, blah blah lawyers.) The Po Boy 47 Suppressor, from Black Aces Tactical.
Clay Learns to Reload: Ep. 5 Precision Powder Measuring with RCBS’ Powder Trickler & ChargeMaster Lite
Published: June 27, 2018 { 3 comments }In my journey into reloading as a cherry boy, I have done some things that are at the very least questionable, if not downright sketchy. I think we can all agree that a red Solo cup and a Gerber baby spoon are not proper powder-measuring tools, though they do work in a pinch.
Nemo Omen 300 Win Mag – AR Gets A Turbo Charger
Published: June 22, 2018 { 16 comments }When I heard semi-auto and 300 Winchester Magnum, I assumed the gun had to be gigantic. It is large, but not Micheal Bay oversized. At first glance, you can see the DNA shared with an AR-15. There are a few changes to accommodate the caliber, but it keeps the things I find important.
Witness the Magic Modular Chassis of the SIG P320: Change Grips, Calibers in a Flash!
Published: June 20, 2018 { 12 comments }With all the winning SIG Sauer has done over the last 18 months with the P320, I feel like here at GunsAmerica despite our extensive coverage we have forgotten to highlight one great feature. The P320’s magic modular chassis system.
Krytos Titanium Glock Slides – Science Fiction Incarnate for Your Combat Tupperware.
Published: June 16, 2018 { 7 comments }Krytos has run multiple slides past the 100,000 cycle test without issues. While not common, that is about the point you see steel slides start to crack. By that, I meant that it doesn’t happen often, but it does happen. In testing, they plugged the barrel, fired a round, and the slide survived to continue shooting.
Auction Alert! Bid on Captured ISIS Banner to Raise Money for Gold Star ICTF Families
Published: June 13, 2018 { 20 comments }Needless to say, you won’t find these one-of-kind items for sale anywhere else and the money goes to a fantastic cause. Please help spread the word and let’s get the party started. If this doesn’t end in a bidding war between Raytheon and Boeing, I am going to be disappointed.
SIG MCX VIRTUS 300 AAC Swappable Barrel Review
Published: June 7, 2018 { 4 comments }Over the last 9 months of testing, the SIG MCX VIRTUS has proven to be a very reliable and useful weapon. In its 5.56 configurations, we saw it run in all weather conditions over the winter, a 2000 rounds suppressed test and many other shenanigans. The most impressive part to me was that we had a multi-configurable rifle, that consistently shot ½ MOA groups. This week, we finally got the long awaited 300 AAC barrel.
Finding Leather Holsters for Hand Cannons (My Springfield Armory 10mm 1911)
Published: June 5, 2018 { 11 comments }My holster came with a retention strap, though a full cover flap is also an option if you’re really worried about protecting the pistol from the elements. For a backcountry gun, the extra security of the retentions strap is worth the slight penalty in speed. And if you need to get ready for the O.K. Corral, it is easy to move it out of the way.
Mossberg 590M Review – Magic Mag Fed Shotgun
Published: June 1, 2018 { 49 comments }Looks mean is one thing, but it has to run to matter. And the 590M did run. It ate everything I threw at it, including multiple magazines out of my 12 gauge trash bucket. The trash bucket is a 5 gallon bucket I toss all the leftover ammo in from shotgun reviews or any other sketchy ammo I run across. The cheapest of the cheap, mil surplus, slugs left over from my 3 gun days, and anything I get from a fire sale. Despite the fact that the gun says 2 ¾ inch shells only, I fed it some Augilla mini shells.
