How do you explain someone who designed a gun specifically so that it could be made for $10 so that you can make them to turn into gun buybacks for upwards of $300. That is Mark Serbu, and he has been making novel and useful gun products for years, that unfortunately only early birds get to actually buy lmao.

If you are a cowboy shooter or you just love guns that look and feel like they did at the dawn of American firearms, Cimarron has become the primary importer of high quality Uberti firearms, any many of them are short run and quite novel. This year is an 1862 Colt Pocket conversion to .380ACP, a original version of the 94 Winchester, and a couple 1876 leverguns with interesting stories.

If you run into Kowa at a big box store or gunshop, give them a look. High quality optics aren’t for everyone, but if you are spending big bucks on a hunting or sightseeing trip, being able to see clearly at distance in low light will add a lot of value to what you are already investing.

The base is made to stay stable in a light breeze, so if you want more wind resistance, you can attach longer lumber stringers to the extended legs.

What do you get when you take an old world Italian high grade shotgun and African rifle company and ask them to make guns in 2017 for the new shooters of today? Sabatti Target Rifles.

There have been rumblings about this gun for several months now, so it was nice to run across it at a small booth at SHOT. So far the gun has an importer, EAA, and the initial samples have been sent to ATF. That should be smooth sailing to get a gun in hand by later this year.
