In the United States, Bergara isn’t exactly a household name, but the fact of the matter is that this Spanish-based company is a large OEM provider of barrels to some of the best-known brands in the business. Bergara has started to offer a line of rifles that can be found under their Bergara Premier line, and for review we have their LRP rifle chambered in .308 Winchester in hand for testing.

A Desert Eagle for CCW? Full Hands On Review.
Published: February 15, 2017 { 15 comments }This week we are reviewing the Baby Desert Eagle III in .45 ACP, a perfect blend of Israeli military design with a good old American man killer in the magazine. The Baby Eagle III is a double action/single action (DA/SA) pistol in .45 ACP (or 9mm) with combat experience in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), and a lineage traceable through Israel and directly back to the renowned CZ-75 pistol. But let’s get to the real question. Is this gun that is made and Israel and imported by Magnum Research a cool gun? Why, yes. Yes, it is.

Published: February 9, 2017 { 32 comments }“Elite” has become a popular buzzword these days. Everyone either wants to be elite or hate anyone or anything that is elite.

Ruger SR556 Takedown – Cool Design – Problematic Performance – Full Review
Published: February 4, 2017 { 32 comments }The Ruger SR556 Takedown is a removable barrel system on an already great piston driven AR. It’s a bit pricey, but the novelty alone isn’t the full story. It also swaps out for .300BK with just a barrel and mag change, and Ruger sells the kit. Not the most accurate weapon once it heats up, but worth a look.
