.22 LR

I am relatively new to the .17 HMR cartridge. When it debuted in 2002, I was guilty of downplaying its effectiveness. Most of my life, Uncle Sugar bought me all the centerfire rounds a growing boy could want, so I didn’t have to worry about training ammo. Now that I have to buy my own [...]

Meet the “LifeCard” from Trailblazer Firearms, a .22 LR single-actin, single-shot folding pistol no larger than a credit card.

There are few more iconic rifles than the .22. Many of us have spent our youth plinking at targets and eradicating the tin-can population with a trusty bolt-action in .22. If you are like me, you have probably had the same .22-caliber rifle for a very long time. Savage has stepped the game up this year with the A and B series rifles — they’re out of the box tack drivers at a price point that won’t break the bank.

Last week we got the opportunity to attend an event hosted by Savage Firearms, Federal Ammunition, and Bushnell Optics. We shot a mountain of ammunition around the T-Diamond Ranch in Texas, engaging targets from 10 yards all the way to 1,620. It was a great opportunity to get hands on with some of the new toys being released this year, and to pick the stuff for review that our readers are going to want to know more about.

Following their success with their .22-caliber M1 Garand, Kingston is launching a rimfire replica of the M14 rifle for 2017.

The Savage Rascal single-shot, bolt-action .22 LR rifle is a great way to get young people excited about the shooting sports. And, thanks to a new $25 rebate program from Savage, you can get a very affordable rifle for an even better deal!

Rimfire guns are small, relatively quiet, and they don’t pack a lot of punch, meaning the average recoil felt is much softer than a large caliber round, which makes them ideal for small frames and small hands.

The TandemKross 10/22 Magazine Take Down Tool makes it possible to detail strip, deep clean, and properly reassemble Ruger 10/22 magazines with the factory specified 1¼ turns of rotor spring tension required for proper function. And it does this for just $9.99.

I’d heard the positive feedback from others about this tool kit. The only thing left to do was order one for myself and see if it was really as easy to use as others described. I certainly had enough dirty magazines to try it out on.

Mark Serbu of Serbu Firearms is gauging interest on an extremely simple homemade single-shot rimfire pistol kit. The design is super-cheap and can be made with hand tools.
