    I     have always admired compact hunting rifles. Their short stature, lightweight, and balance make them a good choice if you hunt in heavy brush country, thick forests, and swamplands where a traditional long rifle really isn't needed.     ...

    Last summer I happened to pick up a stainless steel barrel at a very cheap price. It was a rather unusual looking piece being it had been fluted in a radial pattern. It was also different in the fact it had started life as a 22" medium sporter contour .243 Winchester caliber and was now a 20" 6mm BR Norma. ...

    I'm sure you are all aware of the flimsy nature of the factory synthetic stock that comes on some Savage models...you should be, we've been over this a thousand times!

    The decision to take a perfectly good rifle apart and start tinkering around with a wildcat chambering was a difficult one to make. However, in time I made my mind up that I had to have something unique and different. The choice was simple; it would be a .257 WSM.     ...

    With the growing popularity in the shooting world of Mil-Dot reticles in rifle scopes, I thought I would take a little time to explain what they are and how they work, as well as some differences in the commonly available models on the market today.
