Sweet, there are now locally made 50 Beowulf magazines in Canada. Press Check Ventures has started making the PCV-50, a polymer, 5 round 50 Beo or 458 SOCOM magazine for $55. Apparently, Trevor from Reload Radio has already played with them. (CGN Thread) http://presscheckventures.3dcartstores.com/PCV-50_p_8.html

Vortex SPARC Review
The Vortex SPARC is a midrange priced red dot great for use on AR15′s, 45-70′s, shotguns and other rifles where short range, fast shots are required. At the low range, you have Tascos, Bushnells, etc for about $100; at your high end, you have EOTech and Aimpoint at $400-$900. The SPARC fits in the middle at [...]
AR15 Parts in Canada – Stocks, uppers, etc
This is a big departure for this site, because AR15′s are restricted and can’t be used for hunting in Canada. But. . .I got an AR lower and wanted to find info on parts availability, and the spreadsheet below is the result. I just had to share it because it took a while and some of the [...]
Sighting in a Rifle for Long Range Hunting
Modern bolt action rifles are a modern day pleasure. Considering what people earn these days, an accurate bolt action rifle is much more within reach than it ever has been before. A new Remington 700 in 1962 would cost $115. That’s at a time when average monthly household income was $500. In 2012, the average [...]
Browning X-Bolt Review
I’ve wanted to do this review for a while now and after a recent outing with the x-bolt, I had enough fresh in my mind to bring up about this rifle and do the review. What is the Browning XBolt for? Seems like a silly question, but it’s not. The Browning X-Bolt is NOT a [...]
Norinco M305 Shorty Review
Not long after the first Polytech or Norinco M305 rifles (See my regular length Norinco M14S review here) arrived in Canada, there were those who wanted to chop the 22″ barrels down to the legal limit of 18.5″ to make them a bit handier. This involved a few tricks, because it’s not as straightforward as pulling [...]
Redfield Revolution 3-9X50 Review
I have a personal sweet spot in riflescopes where the optical quality is “good enough” for hunting and the reliability is too. For me, that spot is most standard riflescopes that are $200-$500. There are plenty of great scopes in this range, such as Bushnell Elites, Vortex Diamondbacks, Classic Weavers, Nikon Monarchs and ProStaffs, Millets, [...]
Winner of the Haggard-est Hunting Boots Contest
The haggard-est hunting boots contest ran from January to the end of February and it’s time to choose a winner. Now, we had some fantastic entries and it was really hard to pick. I was so torn, I had to take it down to a vote with a few other hunting buddies and even then, [...]
Savage Axis Accessories
The Savage Axis is an incredibly inexpensive rifle and will be the starting point for a lot of hunters. I’ve got a few Axis-specific accessories below, but in order, here’s what I think should be replaced or upgraded: Trigger. It was hard to determine if I should recommend a $200 scope or a $100 trigger, [...]
What is the most accurate 130 grain 270 Winchester?
I love the 270. It’s cheap, fast, accurate enough, comes in all sorts of rifles, carries enough to kill a deer at distance, and recoils well within reason. Out of my “popular hunting rounds” article, it’s easily my favorite. So when an opportunity to get a boxing sale Savage Axis came up, I got one [...]
