A scope is not required but will make shot placement…

  • Cabela’s Covenant 4 Scope Review

    Cabela’s Covenant 4 Scope Review

    The Cabela’s Covenant 4 (sometimes called a Covenant Tactical) is an inexpensive white labelled scope sold by Cabela’s. I have both a 4-16×44 FFP and a 4-16×44 SFP. I’ve also reviewed the Covenant 7 and Cabela’s Intensity LR scopes. The second focal plane model is just a bit more compact in length. Covenant 4 Scope…

  • Cabela’s Intensity LR Scope Review

    Cabela’s Intensity LR Scope Review

    Cabela’s Intensity LR is a white labelled scope from Cabela’s that comes in 4-16×44. I’ve previously owned the Covenant 4, 5, and 7, is this one any good? Cabela’s Intensity LR Specifications & Features So, this thing’s claim to fame is the elevation turret: it does a lot per rotation so you are going to…

  • Savage Model 334 Review

    Savage Model 334 Review

    The Savage Model 334 is a Turkish-made, bolt action hunting rifle. In fact, it’s a rebadged ATA Turkua. It’s priced basically the same as their Savage Axis but is it any good? To both cut to the chase AND break Betteridge’s law, it is good and it’s my new #1 recommendation for a value-priced hunting…

  • Mossberg 464 Review

    Mossberg 464 Review

    The Mossberg 464 is an American-made lever action rifle that they brought out in 2008. From forum posts and lack of new stock at retailers, I believe that the centerfire 30-30 version is now discontinued. Can it measure up to the greats like the Winchester 94 and Marlin 336? Let’s find out! Mossberg 464 Specifications…

    Gerber Air Ranger Review

    I don’t typically review knives because I’m not going to go through the effort of scientific sharpness and durability testing (check out Project Farm on YouTube for that kind of stuff) but I picked up this Gerber Air Ranger and have been using it daily for about a month. How about a review in bullet…

  • Huglu Renova SA Review

    Huglu Renova SA Review

    The Huglu Renova SA is a semi automatic, inertia-driven, shotgun from Turkey. Wolverine Supplies had them on sale for a screaming deal and I’m a sucker for a sale, so I bought one. Is the Huglu Renova the same as the CZ 1012? Yes, with a few accessory differences. The case is the same, shotgun…

  • A look back on 2023 and a look forward to 2024

    2023 was a busy year for me. 2023 by the numbers Publishing videos on alternative platforms To put it plainly, the YouTube competitors aren’t getting any traction. Playeur, Rumble, Odysee, Bitchute, and Juxxi only make up for 2-5% of the total views I’d get on a video vs the 95-99% on YouTube. I’ll still auto-populate…
