Blast From The Past: The Smith & Wesson Model 5946
Welcome back to another edition of Blast From The Past. I recently picked up a handgun that has had a resurgence in popularity over the last couple of years. As a result, prices have begun to climb again on the third generation of Smith & Wesson handguns. I found a 5946 that I picked up from an online retailer and over the last few months, I have shot it and compared the 5946 to my 5906, so I have some good and bad to look at when it comes to these pistols. Picking up these types of handgun

POTD: Snipers at the European Best Sniper Team Competition
In today’s Photo of the Day, an Austrian sniper is seen engaging targets during the U.S. Army Europe and Africa European Best Sniper Team Competition.

I guess that’s another drawback of a bullpup: it’s difficult to keep a bipod on the front rail.The event took place at the 7th Army Training Command’s Grafenwoehr Training Area in Germany on No

The Rimfire Report: Tips for Building an Off-Season Rimfire Trainer
I’ve been taught that the off‑season is where most hunts or shooting competitions are actually won. Once your tags for the season are filled or the ranges start slowing down for winter, and the big rifles are back in the safe, most hunters and competitors suddenly have more free mornings and time to get set up for the next season. But burning centerfire ammo, barrels, and components at winter prices feels like lighting money on fire, almost just for the entertainment. I’m a huge believer, h

The OSight SE is a new optic that addresses what I see as the big failure point of the previous optic.It’s no problem to swap batteries on the fly with the new OSight, and I can instantly dro
