Everyone has that one gun with absolutely zero practical purpose. This working A280-CFE Blaster in 22LR turns an AR-15-based build into a Cassian Andor-inspired space gun that keeps finding its way back into the range bag.

Anthony Imperato didn’t grow up deciding to become a gun-industry executive. He grew up inside a gun store.

The DNT ThermNight TNC635R packs 640 thermal, digital day and night vision, a laser rangefinder, IR illuminator, and ballistic calculator into one optic. After extensive range work and several nighttime hunts, the surprise was not how much it does, but how well those systems work together.

Lightweight, compact, AR-mag compatible, and wearing a 16” threaded barrel, the Ruger American Ranch 300 BLK checks nearly every box for a suppressor host. Add a 0.8″ best group and whisper-quiet subsonic potential, and this little bolt gun starts making a lot of sense.

Berlin was collapsing, the Reich was finished, and Georg Diers still had one terrifying steel monster left to fight with. This is the brutal, strange, and strangely compelling story of Germany’s last operational Tiger tank and the man who rode it into the end of the world.

The PTR-91 puts the HK G3’s roller-delayed Cold War muscle back in your hands, complete with hard-running reliability, excellent iron sights, flying brass, and accuracy that still earns respect at 100 yards.

The Savage 110 RF Elite Precision takes the full-size Model 110 concept into .22 LR with serious competition hardware, a clever reversible bolt throw, and impressive accuracy. After two months of range work and varmint hunting, the bigger question is whether all that performance is enough to justify its $2,399.00 MSRP.

After more than 250 rounds, the optics-ready Walther WMP proved accurate, comfortable, and ridiculously fun. Its 15+1 capacity, .40-inch best group, and surprising .22 WMR energy make this full-sized rimfire far more than a casual plinker.

The Project 47 Force 360 takes a machine-shop solution to a decades-old scope-mount problem, using collet-style 360-degree clamping and a clever built-in leveling system. After installing it, shooting with it and digging into how it works, I came away impressed.
