My son is currently 5. He is already begging to go.  I will take him to help me, “look for the deers, Dad!” this fall. He won’t be of legal age here to shoot one yet, but it’s not far away.

It was a month before Christmas of 2021 and I was out looking for a rifle and ammo to go with it.  I’m sure most of you can recall that was not the best of times for firearm shopping and ammo was even worse. 

The Savage 110 family of rifles are known for their tried-and-true quality and dependability.  This Long Range Hunter is no exception.

One way or another, you are going to have to do some work obtaining a suppressor. Silencer Central takes most of the pressure of the buyer.

“My first rifle was a 243” is a lyric from a great song. This is an article about putting together a first hunting rifle for my son. And yes, it ended up being a .243.

The High Country has some other functional/aesthetic enhancements. The barrel is fluted in a dramatic spiral that runs most of its length. Savage button-rifles their barrels. The .308 High Country’s barrel is 22 inches. The long-action calibers have 24-inch barrels.

There is nothing worse than cold and wet feet when out in the field on a hunt. Okay, missing the shot of a lifetime at a Boone and Crockett level buck might actually be worse. But if your feet are warm and dry you will have one less thing to complain about while recounting the tale of the one-that-got-away back at camp. The Original Muck Boot Company makes some great footwear for keeping your feet warm and dry in the field.

“Made in America or Not Made at all” is Henry’s motto. There really isn’t anything more American than a Lever Gun, sorry Mom and your apple pie. The Henry name is steeped in American History.

The Ruger Single-Six Revolver has been around since 1953. Since then, there have been a multitude of different models of this handy small-framed single action. It was on a Ruger Single-Six 22 that I first learned how to shoot a handgun and I suspect that is the case for a lot of people. A couple of years ago Ruger came out with a special model of this wheel gun as an exclusive for one of their distributors. This version is called the Single-Seven and it is chambered in .327 Federal Magnum.
