    For many years, I have been leveling scopes by a very similar method. I always try to find a spot on the rifle usually near the tang or across the base where I place a small line level. This is usually a decent way to level out the rifle. However often times there are some difficulties finding the right spot and it is usually a problem to keep the level in place. ...

    When we planned Project 2005, one thing we wanted to do is use quality components on the rifles when possible. The scope mounts are no exception. In fact, since an African safari was part of the project, the bases and rings had to be very well made. Nothing would be worse than to get half way around the world and ...

    Since its introduction in January of 1958 the Savage Model 110 rifle has had its fans. A bit unusual in design and construction, it has always been a good value and exceptionally accurate.

    During my preparation for the 2005 Group Safaris trip, I realized a few of my hunting items were lacking. One of the key items I thought I would need was a decent set of compact binoculars. I had a set of moderately priced Bushnell's that had served well for the short distance bow hunting I typically do here in PA. Although they served me fairly well they were certainly lacking in the definition department as on several occasions I had trouble counting ...

    Fig 1--A Radian (Rad) is the angle formed by the two sub tensions

    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. The mil-dot reticle is primarily used as a range finder. The dots and spacing are of known sizes and ratios and can quickly be used to estimate the range to a known sized target.

    When Chris Spera approached me about doing a review of his muzzle brake, I didn't quite know what to do. The only brakes I had ever experienced were old style that made more flash and noise than anything else. Chris claimed to have an improved "on/off" design that he makes by hand. I have seen these in a few different configurations, but have never had the opportunity to try one out. ...
