{ 3 comments }

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.

Savage 110 RF Elite Precision: .22 LR Goes Pro

{ 3 comments }

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.

2 - Plinking, Varmints, and Self-Defense: Walther’s New WMP in .22 WMR Does It All

Walther WMP Review: This .22 Magnum Shoots Tiny Groups

{ 16 comments }

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.

{ 0 comments }

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.

Ray Davis: The CIA Glock Shooting That Rocked Pakistan

{ 8 comments }

A CIA contractor, a 9mm Glock, two dead gunmen, and an international crisis turned Lahore into something that sounded straight out of Jason Bourne. The difference was that Ray Davis was real, and real life got substantially messier.

CANiK PRIME RADIAN Review: Flat 17+1 EDC

{ 1 comment }

The CANiK PRIME RADIAN packs Radian’s RAMJET and AFTERBURNER recoil-control package into a 17+1 micro-compact 9mm that shoots flatter than its size suggests. It is not cheap, and the trigger on this sample did not quite hit classic CANiK greatness, but the range performance makes a strong case for this carry-ready package.

Ruger 10/22 Review: The Rimfire That Won’t Die

{ 7 comments }

The Ruger 10/22 has spent 62 years turning new shooters into lifelong rimfire addicts. We tested a factory Carbine and a custom build to see why this simple .22 LR still refuses to surrender its crown.

Steiner MPS 2.0 Review: Fixing the Original’s Biggest Weakness

{ 0 comments }

The Steiner MPS 2.0 keeps the original optic’s rugged enclosed-emitter design, then attacks its biggest weaknesses with up to 90,000 hours of battery life, larger controls, and a stronger mounting interface. It is not a reinvention, but the upgrades make this duty-grade red dot considerably easier to trust and run.
