The EPC from Aero Precision provides a great base to build the PCC you’ve always wanted. It’s accurate, easy shooting, reliable, and allows an AR enthusiast to build the gun they want, be it a rifle or pistol. My EPC might be large and in charge, but what would yours look like?

The KelTec Sub 2000 provides PCC shooters a very affordable option that works with common pistol magazines. The folding action makes it well suited for transport and easy storage and gives it a unique edge over the competition. I think the Sub 2000 is a dandy of a rifle, and KelTec’s unique design makes it a winner.

This gun is a blast to use and it puts the bullets where you expect them to go, and it does it with a little touch of luxury exhibited in the precision action and fine stock.

When Savage Arms released their Impulse straight-pull rifle in early 2021 I never imagined my 6.5 Creedmoor might be the first one to make it to the plains of Africa, or that my first-time hunting friend would claim first blood with it.

The Sig Sauer Tread Predator is a quality built low/no recoil semiautomatic hunting rifle with a lot to offer right out of the box.

The Benelli M4 being one of the most competent fighting shotguns on the planet. It’s perfect for police and military use and is a fearsome fighting shotgun for home defense.

The CA5five6 is a lightweight and nimble rifle that feels great on the shoulder, too. I wish I could have scored better groups with it, true, but the rifle will certainly do the job for most shooting, from plinking and home defense needs, as well as for hunting medium-sized and smaller game.

I will admit, I was hesitant to see what a Springfield Armory bolt action might produce when it was announced late last year. It’s not that Springfield Armory isn’t capable, it’s that the bolt action market is both finicky and saturated.

On April 29, 2021, Bergara and CVA sponsored The Long Shot Tour, held at the Fossil Pointe Shooting Grounds, outside Decatur, Texas. These two gun makers had some new and newer firearms to show off and invited a dozen writers and editors to try out several Bergara bolt action rifles and a pair of CVA muzzleloaders, plus a CVA bolt action. I was one of those writers.
