Savage’s Backcountry Xtreme Series: The 110 High Country
Updated: August 3, 2024The High Country has some other functional/aesthetic enhancements. The barrel is fluted in a dramatic spiral that runs most of its length. Savage button-rifles their barrels. The .308 High Country’s barrel is 22 inches. The long-action calibers have 24-inch barrels.
Bear Spray! In 500 Linebaugh
Updated: August 3, 2024Let me be clear, this is NOT about a pepper spray that you might carry for protection against bears. Bear Spray, is the name my gunsmith decided to use for this project.
Right Back at Ya! Savage’s Impulse Hog Hunter Featuring a Straight-Pull Bolt
Updated: August 3, 2024The Impulse Hog Hunter is a very accurate rifle, capable of taking game out to 400 yards without a problem. The straight-pull bolt operated effectively and actually got me on target faster for that follow-up shot.
Building the Perfect Turkey Gun
Updated: September 2, 2024I have known hundreds of hunters over the years and I have to say turkey hunters are the most passionate, focused group of hunters I’ve ever encountered.
Savage Arms IMPULSE: American Made Straight Pull Rifle

Dove for a Lifetime: Argentina Bucket List Hunt
Updated: August 3, 2024Like many others, I have heard for years about the droves of roosting doves in Argentina and groups shooting thousands of birds a day. To a guy who has sat for hours in an Alabama dove field waiting for enough dove to fill a 15 bird limit, this seems unfathomable – the stuff of legends, hunting folklore if you will.
CZ-USA’s Upland Ultralight All-Terrain (20 ga OU)
Updated: August 3, 2024One of the updated models is the Upland Ultralight All-Terrain, which I’ve been using in 20 gauge. It’s lightweight, it’s beautifully constructed, and it comes up on-target every time game flushes. Read on for a close look at all the features as well as a few things that could be better.
