Scorpio EM332A 22LR Review
The Scorpio EM332A is a Chinese manufactured, bolt action 22LR. The action itself is based on the Anschutz 54, so accuracy could potentially be very good. In fact, the 322 action is the same as that on the Norinco NS522 that I saw amazing accuracy out of. So, is the Scorpio EM332A a great way…

Canadian Rimfire Precision Series CRPS
This past weekend, I went to my first CRPS shoot. Although I’ve shot lots of 3 gun, some IPSC & IPSC-ish pistol matches, and Service Rifle/CQB a few times, I had not done much precision rifle shooting. 3 gun reaches out to 400 meters sometimes, but we’re shooting 223 at big steel plates, and that’s…

MOA and Adjustment Required for Shooting 22LR Long Range
When shooting 22LR at long ranges, the bullets rainbow pretty fast. Making consistent hits at long range becomes a game of gaining more and more elevation in your optics and mount. You can use these 3 factors to extend the range of your rifle/scope combination: Total elevation of your scope: though usually you just get…

Savage B.Mag HB Review
Back when I did my initial review on the Savage B.Mag 3 years ago, I found the accuracy to be. . . really lacking, to the point where I didn’t see the point. I tried many things to resolve the accuracy issues and none worked. I know that some guys get great accuracy out of their…

Savage 93F
Goes for $300-$450 depending on model in Canada, and about $300 in the US. Unless you guys really, really, really want me to do an article on this one, I’m skipping. I wrote an article on the Savage 93R17 already, which is basically the same beast. Video review on Savage 93 22WMR

Marlin 70PSS “Papoose” Review
Back in 2006, I had a Marlin 795. It was inexpensive, reliable, lightweight and accurate. More recently, I’ve been looking at takedown 22s. I’ve had my hand at the Ruger 10/22 takedown, and wanted to try the Marlin again since it went so well the first time, but didn’t see a good opportunity until recently…

Matador Arms Mag Rotor Review
Canada has some really weird gun laws and even weirder interpretations. Take the 10/22 as an example: semi auto 22 rifles aren’t capacity limited, but pistols are limited to 10. Our law says that magazines designed for the rifle are unlimited, but magazines designed for pistols are limited. Because the 10/22 Charger, a 10/22 platform…

Remington 597 Review
The Remington 597 is a semi auto, magazine fed rimfire rifle that competes with other semi-auto 22’s like the Ruger 10/22, Marlin 795, and Savage 64. While the 597 doesn’t have the aftermarket support that the market leading 10/22 has, Remington has really pushed for more magazines and versions of the rifle. The 597 HB (Heavy…

Ruger American Rimfire 22LR Review
The Ruger American Rimfire is a new bolt action 22LR rifle that came onto the scene with some really practical features. With an interchangeable rear stock that gives different cheek comb heights as well as different lengths of pull, the rifle offers some good flexibility not available on most other rifles at this price point.…

Ruger 10/22 Takedown Review
The Ruger 10/22 Takedown is Ruger’s backpack friendly version of their popular 10/22 platform. With the barrel and forend removed from the action the rifle, it easily fits in a compact backpack. The Ruger 10/22 takedown is the most popular takedown 22 on the market. The regular takedown 10/22 goes for $350 in the US,…
