Are you prepared to do what’s right mentally and physically (skill wise)? Or are you carrying a full-size pistol and four magazines but haven’t been to the range in a year?

When it comes to testing the accuracy of your rifle, what exactly (what features and accessories) do you need to get the job done?

If you’ve fired different types of shotguns, it’s obvious that recoil can be all over the map. Some load and gun combinations are relative pussycats, allowing one to fire hundreds of rounds per day with no ill effect.

That brought me to the Stevens 320 Pump in 20 gauge.

More women are purchasing and carrying firearms than ever before, and chances are good your significant other has thought about buying a handgun for self-defense.

The Savage Rascal single-shot, bolt-action .22 LR rifle is a great way to get young people excited about the shooting sports. And, thanks to a new $25 rebate program from Savage, you can get a very affordable rifle for an even better deal!

Doing the fancy math indicates that it’s a little less than half the cost of the most expensive stuff.
