Received an email today about the new Beretta rifle, looks pretty interesting. Straight pull with supposedly easy caliber changes with a barrel and bolt head swap. https://www.beretta.com/en-us/product/brx1-black-FA0112 I’d like to see one in person, hopefully they come out with more calibers...

I went on a Colorado elk hunt last fall, saw plenty of elk but didn’t get the opportunity to bring one home. Only good shot I had was at a bull at 500 yards. I passed on it since I wasn’t comfortable shooting at that distance and there was no way to get closer. I have found a range semi local to...

Received an email from Walther today, looks like they are discontinuing the P99 and are releasing a final edition. It’s one auto loader I’ve always wanted to try out but never have. Honestly I thought it was already discontinued but nice seeing they are giving it a nice send off...

Received an e-mail today from Savage, looks like there is a new player in the 1911 market. Looks nice, haven’t seen any info on pricing. I’m kind of surprised this is what they picked for a new product, if I had to guess I would have thought they’d have gone after the new Hi Power market but...

I’m currently running an Ultradot 25 on my 44 mag Super RedHawk I use for deer hunting and am thinking I’d like to try a scope over the course of the next year to see if I like it more than the red dot before next deer season. It appears a used Leupold M8 2x on eBay is about the same price as a...

I have the Savage 110 in 350 Legend that came with a Vortex Crossfire 2, that I’m not really happy with. I’d like to put a little nicer scope on it, looking at the Leupold VX-Freedom and the Burris Fullfield specifically made for the 350. Burris is about $100 cheaper, is the Leupold worth the...

Just saw there’s a new 10mm option out there, SIG just introduced their P320 n 10mm. Haven’t seen a post on here yet so thought I’d share with the group https://www.sigsauer.com/p320-xten.html

Doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing the DWX for a while, just saw them give an update on Facebook. I was wondering when I’d ever see one since I haven’t heard anything in a while, seems they are having some issues with it. Hopefully they get them resolved at some point as it seems like it would be...

I guess I’m becoming a Smith guy after owning nothing but Ruger’s for years. I bought a model 69 4” last year, and just traded a GP100 for this 586-4 6”. Really liking it, trigger is excellent. Way better than the 69 which I ended up putting a spring kit in. When did Smith start pinning the...

Saw this on Facebook, looks like we will at least be seeing 1895’s by the end of the year. Not really surprised that was going to be first since they seem to be in high demand and are bringing a premium on the used market from what I’ve seen. Then again 45/70’s are popular around me since I live...

Just saw Beretta is introducing a new 92 series variant that is optic ready https://www.beretta.com/en-us/m9a4-full-size/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=M9A4&utm_campaign=Launch_M9A4&utm_term=Organic&utm_content=Hype_Video&fbclid=IwAR1025sJY8aVv3CtKOPiH9yubdXSqfD3DwHMIw471BbEcmH0M6Wt1Ot_h9o...

Just saw this on Facebook, looks like S&W is dropping T/C. Interesting a buyer isn’t mentioned and I saw in another article all orders for T/C firearms are being canceled. Seems odd that they wouldn’t want to keep their bolt rifle company unless Smith is going to offer a Smith branded one...

I’d like to get a bolt rifle for varmints and casual back yard target shooting. Coyote would be the varmint of choice with prairie dogs as an option if I take a trip out west. I live in Iowa so my deer hunting is taken care of with a 44 mag Henry, I have a 30-06 for an elk trip scheduled for...

I’ve had my Smith 69 4” 44 mag for a little over a year now and finally got brave enough to take the side plate off. I’ve been disappointed with the trigger, it was heavy enough my trigger scale wouldn’t read it and honestly not near as nice as my Ruger GP100 or SRH. I’d been debating a trigger...

Looks like there was a leak so Walther revealed their new pistol a couple of days early, saw it on Facebook. Appears to be an updated PPQ, called the PDP. https://waltherarms.com/pdp/ Supposedly more ergonomic, slightly different trigger, and more red dot capable than the PPQ. I like the looks...

Received an email from Walther saying they are going to announce a new pistol this February. I’m wondering if it’s going to be another variation of the PPQ, or maybe it will be something even more interesting like a SIG P365/Springfield Hellcat competitor. Anyone heard any rumors or up for some...

I was wondering when SIG would follow Walther with a metal framed striker and they finally did. Just saw this this morning, I think it looks really good with the scorpion treatment. https://www.sigsauer.com/store/p320-axg-scorpion.html

I was surprised to read this this morning, hopefully it’s a good thing. Ramshot and Hodgdon are the two brands I use most. https://www.theoutdoorwire.com/releases/d098716d-b168-4dee-a6e3-32d2caae4755?fbclid=IwAR3JQg0S9zYQpp1Rlc3bvl23yHK95txF9MBzVuBosgeuZ19iKWA2MGAt20s With any luck it will...

I kept reading about the Smith 69 Combat Magnum and how everyone that has one on here really likes theirs. I’ve wanted one since they were released and finally scored a used 4.25” one for $675. It was the shop owners personal revolver and says it was unfired as he has plenty of 44 magnums. Up...

I just got my first 1911 over the weekend, a Ruger SR1911 LWT Commander in 9mm. Impressed with the the accuracy and the trigger and can see why the 1911 has so many fans after mostly playing with DA/SA pistols and revolvers most of my life. One question I have though, I put 50 rounds through it...
