| By DerrekSigler,on September 27th,2010 I like single shot rifles. I especially like the H&R/NEF single shots that Marlin/Remington produces. When I went looking for a .17 HMR,I only knew one thing. I wanted a heavy barrel. The bullet from a .17 is so small and moving so fast that I think a heavy barrel is the way to go for getting the most from the gun.

We had a selection of the products we sold and had set up areas for the folks to go to so they got a taste of the life and maybe found some new hobbies. One of the areas we had was a muzzleloader selection of several popular guns. The buyer for black powder had sent along a new gun that had just come in and we kind of forgot to use it until afterwards when it was just a bunch of us playing around.

The market Remington is going after is the big-game hunting crowd. Nice. Having one of the biggest companies in the industry marketing an AR-platform gun to the big game hunter is just downright cool. . . . →Read More:Remington R-25 Field Test By DerrekSigler,on August 5th,2009 One of the things I have noticed as I research different guns and all things hunting is a common question that keeps popping up in online discussion forums and over-the-counter chat fests at gun shops. It all boils down to one thing. “If I were to only buy one gun to do everything,which one should I buy?” . . . →Read More:Weatherby Vanguard Stainless –If you had just one rifle By DerrekSigler,on July 28th,2009 After years of abuse and neglect,it was time to restore the rifle I inherited. . . . →Read More:Resurecting the Champ –Restoring my Model 70 Winchester By DerrekSigler,on July 22nd,2009 I told a couple of folks that I was getting one of these rifles to test and the basic response was,“Oh,another AR.” That opinion changed the moment I took it out of the case. . . . →Read More:Bushmaster Carbon 15 Flat top | |
