Few things in life rival time spent behind a very expensive rifle. Oh sure, time with loved ones, walks on beaches, and well marbled ribeyes can certainly vie for top billing, but there’s a special place for crisp two stage triggers and bolts that slide like two pieces of oiled glass. Like all good degenerate […]
Truck Review: 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country Edition
Wrapped in luxurious leather and surrounded by wood trim, I moved the column shifter from Park to Drive and starting rolling away from the very nice sales manager at Covert Chevrolet who had just handed me the keys to a brand new 2017 Chevrolet Silverado High Country Edition.

Silencer Review: Rebel Silencers SOS – Hunter
My various screeds here and on my weekly podcast should erase any doubt on where I stand on the Hearing Protection Act. Specifically, what its passage will do to the current stock of available silencers (decimate it), and what the surge in demand will do to prices (lower them, slightly). Ever the contrarian bunch, our […]
