Firearms

This 50-caliber muzzleloader is often the first choice for those looking to get into traditional black powder. Let’s get back to the basics as I spend some time with the Traditions Kentucky Rifle.

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. 

Every year, I eagerly dive into the world of flagship compound bows, testing and tinkering with numerous models. It’s not just a job for me, it’s a passion that I’m fortunate to have.

Tall brush dictated a standing shot, so I rested the forend of the American Gen 2, chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, on shooting sticks.

In a time when content is king and new gun announcements come fast, the opportunity rarely arises to do a truly long-term gun review. One where you can get to know it, shoot it a lot, knock it around. I wanted to figure out what does and doesn’t work, set aside any marketing hype, and live with the gun.

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

Sunlight glints off the polished brass receiver of the New Original Henry. The New Original Henry is based on the Henry Model 1860. It was described by Confederate soldiers as “that damned Yankee rifle that can be loaded on Sunday and fired all week.”

The Carbon Predator is an accurate, updated, lighter version of the venerable Model 110 with a Proof Research carbon fiber-wrapped stainless barrel and a stock that allows for a custom fit.

There are more guns that fold in half now than ever before. Folding guns are typically handy little things that thrive in how compact they can become.
