Lifetime Decoys Blind Bag

Lifetime Decoys Blind Bag

I am no different than the next hunter in that I always look for something to make my hunt better. My old blind bag was wearing out and I was glad when I got my hands on the new Old School Camo Blind Bag offered by Lifetime Decoys.

Bushnell Prime Rifle Scope 6-18x 50mm

With all that Bushnell has done for its professional-grade lines, you might think they had forgotten the hunters. Well, you would have thought wrong. This week, we got down and dirty with a new product from the Bushnell Prime line. If your Christmas missed the mark, fear not. These bad boys won’t.

Canik ONE Series: Serious Bang for Your Buck

Canik ONE Series: Serious Bang for Your Buck

I had handled Canik pistols a couple of years ago at the SHOT show and have a couple of friends that shoot them but was a bit skeptical of how the Century Arms imports were going to perform; after all, they have an MSRP below $325, how good of a gun should you expect at that price point?

Clay Tests Hornady’s 88-Grain Foray Into the Valkyrie Game

We got a chance this week to really wring out the new 224 Valkyrie loading from Hornady, the 88-grain special announced at the NRA show back in April. Valkyrie has been a strange animal over the last year. It has the potential to change how we think of small frame AR’s, and what they are capable of. But it has not been without controversy.

The Ultimate Valkyrie AR Build

The Ultimate Valkyrie AR Build

One persons “ultimate” very well may not be another’s, but I think this build should spark more than a little interest. The greatest drawback to trying to do an ultimate build is that ultimate will probably cost more than many are willing to spend at one time on an AR, but that’s the beauty of an AR platform, all the upgrades can be done one at a time due to the modularity of AR parts.

Bringing the whole Factory to Table package together with Part 6. It is time for Part 6 in my Factory to Table Series.  But if you are just joining us, I should backtrack a tiny bit to bring you up to speed… I started my Factory to Table series while thinking about all the of [...]

Tuffpak – Best Hard Rifle Case Available?

The Tuffpak is made from a rotational molded high-density polyethylene. The unique shape of the case allows you to pack up to 3 scoped rifles or 5 shotguns with room for extra gear. I recently had the opportunity to use and travel with the Tuffpak case and afterwards I wish I had known about it sooner- especially when I used to compete.
