Guns

The Mossberg MVP Varmint .308 feeds from readily available AR-pattern magazines and delivers long-range performance at a price point under $750.

There are a few guns that I think everyone should own at least once. Of them, the British Enfield, or more proper, the “Lee-Enfield,” is one of the most distinctive. I thought that maybe this week dragging out my Enfields would be a great way to start a new regular series on military surplus firearms.

It might be mid July and it is for sure hotter than a 2 dollar pistol here in The South, but it is not too early to start thinking about the fall hunts. If you are in the market for a new inline Traditions rifles are a great place to look, they are well made and equipped rifles for a good price.

the DRD Tactical Kivaari .338 Lapua Magnum is a long-range, semi-automatic, AR-based rifle that can be taken down in moments and placed inside a portable case.

The new RM380 from Remington delivers ultra-compact .380 ACP power in reliable and handy package. Full review of the pistol.

the new SUB-2000 Gen II from Kel-Tec gives users a 9mm carbine that feeds from pistol magazines and can fold down to around 16 inches.

The FN M4 Carbine in the Military Collector Series line brings you the closest thing a civilian can own to a true military 5.56mm M4 Carbine.

The new X95 Tavor from IWI US takes the strengths of the Tavor SAR and takes the design to the next level with numerous upgrades and enhancements.

Several years ago I happened upon a rifle that blew me away. It was at Media Day at the Range, which is the day before our annual SHOT Show in Las Vegas, and I have to say, it takes a lot to blow me away. That rifle was the Noreen Arms BN36 Long Range Assassin, which you will recognize as an AR-15 pattern, in .30-06. I have always been a huge fan of that cartridge, and I always wondered if the rifle ran as well as my M1 Garands. This week I finally got a chance to put the Noreen to the test, ad I love it!
