I’m on the hunt for a hard-hitting rifle capable of delivering excellent terminal ballistics at extended range. But it also has to be fast and versatile for close quarters work. Is there a gun out there that can do both? We’ve put the FN SCAR 17 to the test and are here with the results.

Henry Frontier Carbine Evil Roy Edition
Published: October 2, 2015 { 16 comments }When I pulled this gun out of its unassuming box, I was predisposed to like it. Lever action rifles are fun–even more so when they’re chambered in .22 LR. But then I shot the gun. I don’t know what kind of magic Henry is using to produce these guns, but I like it! This may be the best range experience I’ve had this year.

So we approached the CMMG Mutant with more than a bit of skepticism. After our first 500 rounds, our skepticism is fading. The Mutant is performing like a champ. And we have one of the new pistols, too, which may explain why I don’t have any eyebrows.
