Oryx Chassis Review
When I was first building out this 10/22, I had my eye on the Oryx but ended up buying a Magpul X22 Hunter stock just for cost reasons (review here). The Oryx Sportsman Rifle Chassis is well suited for getting started in precision shooting, like PRS for centerfire, or precision 22LR shooting competitions like ORPS…

Savage Stevens 320 Review
The Savage Stevens 320 is a Chinese-made, value-priced, pump shotgun imported by Savage. It’s based on the Winchester 1300, which uses a rotating bolt design. I bought this one because for $299, I got a 28″ barrel with choke and an 18.5″ barrel with cyl bore. You can sometimes get them even cheaper with just…

Savage Model 24 Review
The Savage Model 24 is an over/under combo gun. It’s a 22LR rifle barrel overtop a 410 shotgun barrel, though some other similar variants like the 24V were available in heavier-duty centerfire rifle and larger shotgun gauges. They stopped making them in 2010, but released the Model 42 as its successor with polymer stocks. They’re…

Jard J180 Review
The Jard J180 is an American-made upper&lower kit for making an AR180-style rifle. Unlike many 180’s, this one uses direct impingement, just like the AR15. Why does this matter? Because it makes it easy to replace barrels with AR-compatible barrels. Most other 180’s require you to use a specific gas tube length: most are carbine…

Primary Arms SLx Cyclops Gen 2 – 1X MicroPrism Optic
The Primary Arms Cyclops Gen 2 is a compact, microprism optic with 1X magnification. While the Gen 1 unit was similar in size to the Vortex Spitfire AR 1X (review here), the Gen 2 unit is much more compact and lighter. At around $300 CDN ($250 USD), it’s a very affordable option for up-close action.…

The LMG version uses a barrel without a grenade launcher, it has a carry handle, it has a fixed bipod attached, and it has a different stock. That’s about it.

ISSC Scout SR Review
The ISSC Scout SR is a straight-pull, toggle-action, 22LR rifle made in Austria. It’s very similar to the ISSC SPA that I reviewed 2 years ago but this one has more of a Steyr Scout look to it: with a full top rail forend and a stock that contains a survival knife if you get…
