    Why no 20 inch?

    Ruger SFAR Rifle (Small Frame AR) in .308 comes in either 16" or 20" barrel. My son just purchased the 20" version. What a sweet package.

    S&W Response 9mm zero-in

    Mounted EOTECH XPS2-O Holographic Sight on my new S&W 9mm Response Rifle. We were shooting off a table with the fore-end resting on a shooting bag. At 25 yards it was shooting 1-1/2” high with excellent group size. Rather than mess with the zero, moved back to 50 yards. It then shot 8” high...

    BEFORE HE WAS FESTUS HAGGEN

    For you professional Gunsmoke fans, I have a question. If my memory serves me correctly, there was an episode with probably Festus, where he used his unusual mathematical skills to determine how many posts were required to build a fence. I would love to have that formula.

    Non-chlorinated brake cleaner
