2023 Rifle Of The Year: Marlin 1895 SBL

2023 Rifle Of The Year: Marlin 1895 SBL

When Ruger bought the intellectual property and hard assets to Marlin at auction back in 2020, it was a calculated risk. The brand is still beloved by many lever-gun connoisseurs, but its reputation had taken a beating in recent years, and Ruger was betting on the belief that it could right the ship and return the Marlin name to a place of standing within the industry.

'Little Guys' To The Rescue: Federal's Force X2 Shorty Shotshells

'Little Guys' To The Rescue: Federal's Force X2 Shorty Shotshells

At 5' 7", I'm often the brunt of my buddies' best attempts at little-guy humor. Sure, a few inches more would be nice, but being short has its advantages. For example, I typically get the first crack at helicopter hunts because a whirlybird gets rather tight, particularly when you need to bring a rifle up with you. The same can be said for hunting blinds. Read More

Where Did Mossberg's Model 500 Bullpup Shotgun Go?

Where Did Mossberg's Model 500 Bullpup Shotgun Go?

Not long ago, I encountered a very interesting used gun for sale and have been curious about its authenticity ever since.
