For my money, the only two parts of the gun that actually matter are the barrel and the trigger. (Optics, I consider to be a completely different discussion.) The barrel is the only part that really actually matters for accuracy, and the trigger is the most important part for how you interface with that barrel.

The Remington 783 Scoped rifle and scope package might provide an answer to that dilemma of those looking for a good rifle at a great price. For less than $400, shooters get a quality rifle along with scope rings and a scope—everything they need to get deer season off to a good start. And, it comes with the scope and rings installed and boresighted.

CZ-USA is working on a face-meltingly great new catalog for 2017 with new BREN rifles and pistol, a P-09 Kadet Kit and the return of the SP-01 Phantom.

I have no qualms about saying in this very public forum, with my real name attached, that if Clinton had been elected president, there would have been an all-out civil war within six months time.

MantisX attaches to your firearm and records trigger pull performance data for every shot you take. If you believe that “what gets measured, gets fixed” the MantisX Firearms Training System is something you might be interested in adding to your range bag.

We recently had the opportunity to attend an event where we received hands-on training from no less than Springfield Armory’s Rob Leatham.

I am normally a Glock guy, as anyone that has trained with me over the last seven years knows. But one thing a life in the military will break you of quickly is brand loyalty. You always have to be looking for an advantage, and in a world were equipment failures cost lives, you don’t care at all where that advantage comes from. So when the chance to review the Smith and Wesson M&P C.O.R.E. with threaded barrel came up, I jumped at the chance.

“A deer like this deer doesn’t come along very often,” Grandstaff said. “The field pictures don’t really do it justice. You would have had to actually see it to understand the amount of non-typical growth it has.”
