    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

  • 22WMR and 17HMR vs 223 Remington

    22WMR and 17HMR vs 223 Remington

    This was an inevitable comparison after doing my 17HMR vs 22WMR article. The sister magnum rimfires are around $0.40/round, while basic 223 ammo is about the same cost and it can be reloaded for quite a bit less. Even if you buy nicer hunting ammo off the shelf, hunting 223 is usually no more than

    22 WMR vs 17 HMR

    22 Winchester Magnum, or “22 Mag” for short, was the big dog rimfire for decades. Typically running a 30-50 grain bullet at 2200 fps, 1880, or 1530, respectively, it was a big jump over the typical 22 round of a 40 grain bullet at 1200 fps. But now that 17 HMR has been on the

    FNS9L vs Glock34 for 3 Gun

    I’ve been running an FNS9L in competition for a while now and just recently switched over to a Glock 34, so I’ve got a bit of perspective on their differences. The Glock I’ve got to compare to is the Gen 4 Glock 34. That’s still the current generation as far as Glock 34s go today,

  • Matador Arms Mag Rotor Review

    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

    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
