Review: Wilson Combat NULA Model 20

When I picked up the soft case, I genuinely thought Wilson Combat had shipped me an empty one. That’s how absurdly light this rifle is. But the moment I unzipped it, I knew I was holding something special—the latest evolution from Wilson Combat, a precision .308 Winchester bolt-action rifle tipping … Read More

Taurus 22TUC Review: The Pocket-Sized Problem Solver

As someone who’s been writing about guns longer than I can remember, I get a fair number of questions from fellow seasoned shooters about firearms that won’t wreak havoc on arthritic hands. For a lot of folks, racking a stiff slide is about as fun as trying to open a … Read More

There’s something about a well-built rifle that just feels right the moment you shoulder it.

Smith & Wesson Volunteer X: An AR-10 Worth Volunteering For

The world of AR-platform rifles has taken off in ways few could have predicted. It’s not just about 5.56 or .223 anymore—you can now get an AR chambered in just about any caliber imaginable. Want to plink with .22 LR? No problem. Need something with enough stopping power to handle … Read More

Review: Fabrique Nationale M249

When Fabrique Nationale (FN) first dropped the bombshell that they were releasing the M249S—a semi-auto variant of the U.S. military’s beloved M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW)—the reaction was as mixed as a bag of surplus 5.56 rounds. Some folks shrugged it off, thinking, “Who’s going to drop seven grand on … Read More

Review: Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol

Beretta doesn’t just play in the semi-auto shotgun market—it owns the entire neighborhood, the HOA, and probably the community pool too. This is the company that literally owns Benelli, Stoeger, and Franchi—three names synonymous with shotguns. It’s like Beretta woke up one day, looked at the competition, and decided, “You … Read More

Review: FN SCAR 15P Pistol

The FN SCAR 15P is, without a doubt, one of the most absurdly fun firearms to shoot in its class. With its stockless design and a stubby 7.5-inch barrel, it’s the ultimate example of a firearm that makes you ask, “Why does this exist?”—right before you empty an entire magazine … Read More

Review: CMMG Resolute MkGs Pistol Caliber Carbine

There’s something about pistol-caliber carbines that just feels right. Sure, I get why some folks turn their noses up at them. They’re not rifles in the traditional sense, they lack the long-range punch of a proper .308 or 5.56, and some see them as redundant. But me? I can’t get … Read More
