Like many other successful cartridges, the .224 Valkyrie was conjured up in a shooting enthusiast’s mind. A “Wildcat” in concept, this new offering from Federal Premium was designed as a ballistic solution to solve an academic problem: how to take “America’s Rifle” to 1,000 yards and beyond. 

I’m talking about a true gun belt — one designed to bear the weight primarily of a handgun but also of the other gear we might strap, lash or loop onto a belt. With that, here are my top five everyday carry belts.

The Championship will be held from January 20th – January 21st at Nellis Air Force Base, and will be hosted by Sin City Precision.

Every now and again, someone in my immediate proximity finds out I write about guns. About half a second after that discovery, a question or two surfaces.

It’s obvious but worth noting again: Movies like these are meant for entertainment and we’re better off not to let Hollywood influence our firearms choices and tactics.

Nostalgically named after boom boxes, Ghetto Blaster rifles are powerful and highly portable. These guns are built on the new Gen 4 Noveske receivers.

The CZ 550 rifle is, in and of itself, a journey, in that it has its roots in the Czechoslovakian Brno ZKK 602 rifle, and has come a long way to get to the current inception. That ZKK 602 is still revered among those who enjoy the big bore bolt-action rifles; the action is considered as rock-solid and reliable as a Mauser 98.
