Fudd Friday: The .250-3000 Walked So The .243 Could Fly
Before World War II, and especially before World War I, the rifles of the whitetail-hunting world looked a lot different from today. Lever-actions ruled supreme, and they were often chambered for rounds that have fallen from favor. These include .33 Winchester, .303 Savage and even .44-40. But to me, the most interesting of them all is the .250-3000. This round served many hunters very well, and was one of the best choices in the first half of the 20th century—and now it’s long, long gone f

US Night Vision Shakes Up the Industry with Interactive Mobile Virtual Experience
For decades, buying night vision or thermal optics online could have felt like a gamble. “Industry-standard” marketing has relied almost entirely on static Hoffman Pictures taken on an ANV-126A test set. While those static tube photos serve as a decent benchmark for clarity, they leave the end-user completely in the dark when it comes to […]
SIG Sauer P211 Goes Non-Comp With GT4 Carry and GT5 Full-Size
When SIG Sauer launched the P211 GTO in 2025, it made a statement: a steel-framed, double-stack 1911-architecture 9mm with an integrated compensator and the kind of fit and finish that makes serious competitors stop and take a second look. The obvious follow-up shot (pun intended) was: what about everyone who doesn't want a comp? The answer is two new variants, the P211-GT4 and the P211-GT5. Names that sound like they belong on a Nürburgring racing entry list more than a gun, but here we a

Faster & Flatter than 6.5 PRC! Federal’s NEW 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak Round
Federal has accomplished something truly clever with this latest introduction. Their “new” cartridge, 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak, has taken the stalwart 6.5 Creedmoor round to new heights by adding 200+ FPS (feet per second) to it, and it is not as simple as dumping more powder in a casing and making a dangerous hot load. By using Peak Alloy technology and casings, along with other premium components housed by Federal, they’ve given 6.5 Creedmoor owners a faster, flatter, and more lethal cartridge
Review: Strike Industries Kuna STAB
At its launch in 2025, the Springfield Armory Kuna quickly established itself as a premier PDW-style 9mm pistol. This was due not just to its well-considered feature set and ergonomics, but also to its performance — driven in no small part by its roller-delayed operating system. This system allows the pistol to offer the seemingly physics-defying combination of light weight and low-perceived recoil.The Strike Industries Polymer FSA STAB is shown here riding the rear Picatinny rail of t
