This involved a few tricks, because it’s not as straightforward as…

  • What is the most accurate 130 grain 270 Winchester?

    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…

    Savage 111 Long Range Hunter 338 Lapua Review

    Savage 111 LRH in 338 Lapua Review I first handled one of these bad boys at the Edmonton Hunt Fest and I was in love. So light, so handy, and chambered in the monstrous 338 Lapua Magnum. 338 Lapua is starting to gain factory acceptance in long range hunting rifles. My latest copy of the…

    Ruger No. 1 K1-B-BBZ Stainless Laminate

    The Ruger number 1 is a bit of an anomaly. At a time when bolt action rifles offer high accuracy and easy tuning, semi auto rifles offer fast follow up shots on game, and lever action rifles offer the ultimate bush experience, the Ruger No. 1 delivers a single shot in a package no lighter…

    Thompson Center Encore Pro Hunter

    “It’s a single shot.” “What if I need to take another shot?” “It’s damn near heavier than a bolt, probably less accurate too” These were some of the objections rolling around in my head why I didn’t need to buy the TC Encore Pro Hunter I had in my hands, but they failed to stop…
