Shilen 6mmx47 Lapua Ratchet Twist Barrel Review

Barrel Reviews

Standard rifling on left, Ratchet Twist on right.

Needing a new barrel for my long range Savage I decided to go with a Shilen barrel - but not the normal six groove rifled barrel, rather their “Ratchet Rifled” four-groove profiled land barrel. The Shilen “Ratchet Rifled” (or as I call it, the “Ratchet Twist”) barrel has a radical rifling design that has little publicity or little known about it.

Evolution Gun Works "Axis/Edge" Tactical Scope Base Review

Scope Mounts

In the spring of 2010, Savage unveiled their new top-secret rifle the Edge, and within less than two moths after Savage unveiled this new rifle, EGW created a new, one-piece Picatinny/Weaver mount for it. At this time, there is no other alternative for a one-piece mount, for the Edge. This is the first product I have ever gotten from EGW and I will evaluate this new mount and describe how it fits, works, and how well it is made.

The Edge is a new altogether different design rifle that has a dissimilar scope base mounting distance than that of the 110/10 model Savage rifles. The Edge is able to use the two-piece mounts made for a round back Savage 110/10 series rifle, but this limits the availability of ...

McGowen Rifle Barrel Review in .222 Remington

Barrel Reviews

McGowen barrel fitted to the author's single-shot varmint rifle.

One of the most commonly asked question I see on the forum is "Which brand of aftermarket barrel should I buy?" The fact is that most aftermarket barrels are made using the same grade of steel and the same button-rifling process, so the only real difference will be in regards to the manufacturers attention to detail, whether ...

Talley Lightweight Alloy Scope Bases and Rings

When I finally got my project gun together I needed a good quality well-built scope base and ring system, but there was a hitch, I needed the lightest thing possible, so weight was the biggest factor, so that my gun would weigh in at our goal of the 10.5 lbs weight limit. The slightest ounce would make or break this goal, I did not want something cheaply made, or lightly built. I need a tough mount that would allow the gun shoot repeatable and hold zero. I also needed a set up that the rings was very close together, due to the scope I wanted to use being so short. This is when I learned about the Talley lightweight scope mount system that they offer.

Before this, I had ...

DNZ Products "GameReaper" Scope Mounts

Scope Mounts

Game Reaper scope mounts are relatively new to the gun market, and they are a product of DNZ Products located in Sanford, North Carolina. The mounts are made by Certified Machining in the same location. Considering how many firearm related products are now made in China, it's refreshing to see an American made product.

Game Reaper mounts are machined from billet aluminum into a single piece mount. There are no moving or adjoining parts other that the ring caps. Multiple piece rings/bases will allow for rings to come loose from their bases over time which will let the scope start to wander. On this mount, it is all a single piece of aluminum. The machined billet also allows the base to be light weight while remaining strong. The ...

CTK Precision P-3 Monopod Review

Bipod & Monopod Reviews

As you can see, the P-3 Monopod is loaded with features making it very user friendly.

Every once in a while, a new product comes along that deserves a good looking at. The P-3 monopod from CTK Precision is just such a product. Most of us rely on a good front rest and rear bag combination to achieve accuracy from the bench, or a bipod and beanie baby rear ...

PDC Customs Internal Mag Chassis Review

Stock & Recoil Pad Reviews

I recently had an opportunity to give one of PDC Customs aluminum chassis rifle stocks a run on a short action Savage. PDC Custom manufactures stocks in the USA from 6061 aluminum bar stock, very strong stuff, I can assure you. They are available in several colors with a few options that should fit into just about any shooting situation.

Scope Mounts

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 ...

CP Muzzle Brake Review

Muzzle Brakes & Surpressor Reviews

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. ...
