It is simple, affordable to shoot, easy to customize, and chambered in .22 LR, which makes it useful for range days, small-game hunting, training, plinking, and teaching new shooters. The confusing part is that “10/22” does not refer to just one rifle…
The Ruger American Rifle has become one of the easiest bolt-action rifles to recommend because the lineup covers so many different shooters. There are basic hunting rifles, compact Ranch models, threaded-barrel Predator rifles, updated Gen II versions, rimfire trainers, Magpul-stock Hunter models, and camo-finished Go Wild variants. That variety is great, but it can also…

Springfield Kuna Review: Why This Roller-Delayed 9mm Stands Out The Springfield Kuna is not just another large-format 9mm pistol.

The Springfield Armory M1A is the best-known current-production option for buyers searching for a modern M14 rifle. It keeps the M14-inspired operating system, sights, detachable magazine, and traditional profile in a civilian semi-automatic rifle. On paper, there are lighter rifles, cheaper rifles, easier rifles to mount optics on, and more modern semi-auto .308 options. If…
The Springfield Prodigy is one of the most interesting pistols in Springfield Armory’s catalog because it sits in two worlds at once. On one hand, it is clearly connected to the 1911 platform. It has the single-action feel, frame-mounted safety, grip angle, and general shooting character that make people love 1911 pistols in the first…
Springfield Echelon models now include full-size 4.5F pistols, compact 4.0C models, 4.0FC configurations, compensated variants, threaded-barrel packages, and factory-optic options.
