Original production M1 receivers are getting expensive and hard to find. Commercial M1 receivers can sometimes be found, but they’re not exactly growing on trees either. And not every commercial M1 receiver has been made to spec. So what’s a builder to do? Enter the drill rifle.

Testing the Savage 110 Predator: The Perfect Rock Chuck Gun
BY Riley Baxter Updated: August 3, 2024After looking the rifle over, I was very impressed with what I saw and felt. The rifle was hefty… and I mean really hefty. The bull barrel that this gun comes with adds a lot to it, but the advantage is that you can shoot all day and not see a change in accuracy. The stock felt good to me out of the box, but with the option to change the cheek riser and length of pull (LOP from here on out) I rearranged the stock so that it fit me perfectly.
GUNWERK’S CLYMR RIFLE REVIEW: 1000 Yards Out Of The Box
BY Aram Von Benedikt Updated: August 31, 2024The Gunwerks slogan is “1000 yards out of the box”, meaning a savvy shooter should be able to take a new rifle out of the case, chamber a round, dial for any distance out to 1000 yards, and ring steel. That’s an extraordinary claim, and one I was supremely interested in putting to the test.

Savage MSR-15 224 Valkyrie
BY Clay Martin Updated: May 23, 2019Savage has been teasing us with an entry into the 224 Valkyrie arena since January, and today it is finally a reality. Fittingly, and maybe surprisingly, the first Savage in caliber is an MSR or Modern Sporting Rifle.
Review: Century Arms’ USA-Made VSKA AK47
BY Levi Sim Updated: May 19, 2019We introduced Century Arms’ new, American-made AK at SHOT Show 2019. It’s the 7.62x39mm-shooting VSKA (pronounced vis-kuh, and, even though it’s made in the USA, it sounds better with an Eastern European accent). I’ve had some time with this gun and I’ve put a few rounds through it, and I’ve carried it around a lot. I like it. Let me show you why.
Tikka T1X – Rimfire Revolution
BY Clay Martin Updated: May 11, 2019This week, I got my hands on a rifle for review that was a long time in the making. The Tikka T1X, first announced at SHOT Show 2018, has finally hit the shelves. Now despite my own giddiness about rimfires, I know that they aren’t the most popular reviews we publish. But hear me out on this one, I think you are really going to dig it. Why, pray tell, have I been anxiously awaiting a bolt action in 17 HMR?
