SSG69 PIV, police variant
This illustrates the utility of short, handy PIVÂ variant. With the scope set at 3.5x, off-hand snapshots are possible. That would be rather harder with the longer bull barrels typical of longer military sniper rifles. At typical police sniper ranges under … Continue reading

It takes more than just a pink stock to fit a rifle for a lady
Savage Lady Hunter with 2.5-10x Nightforce scope. The rifle is very light, and its hardwood stock has greater than usual comb height.
Do you train…in the rain?
Does your hat brim keep your glasses clear enough to see? Is your scope waterproof and rust-resistant enough to function the day after the rain? Can you move with full loadout while soaked? Do your soles provide a sure footing? … Continue reading

Very tacticute
Melissa Gilliland keeps up her side of the family standards by being a competitive shooter in her own right. The rifle is an Asbury Precision Ordnance ASW with 3-15x Light Tactical by Premier Reticles. I’ve seen her kick ass with … Continue reading
A rifle for a lady
Should a rifle designed for women be more than the same action in a plastic pink stock? Savage obviously thinks so. Quality hardwood stock, Accu-trigger and sporter profile barrel added up to a very handy and well balanced rifle. In … Continue reading
This is my killing curse. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
“Fantasy abandoned by reason produces impossible monsters: united with her, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of their marvels” This visual offense against good design actually shoots fairly well and the safety improves considerably on the … Continue reading

CZ .308 counter-sniper rifle
Very handy device.
Rotary magazine.
There’s something neat about rotary mags.

New favorite rifle?
This has long been my favorite recreational rifle. With AAC Aviator suppressor on the long barrel, it’s very quiet. 4x Leupold scope allows pretty good aim from up close to about 100 yards. But it has one giant disadvantage for … Continue reading

Have you ever wondered what “SSG” means?
Steyr SSG08 isn’t pretty. Like PKM and RPG7 it’s what you haul out when utility trumps aesthetics. 12-42x Nightforce scope might be a bit much for it, but it does help to see the whites of their eyes at very … Continue reading
Accurate rifles deserve good ammunition
Now that I finally learned to shoot rifle, I am starting to appreciate the difference between bulk milsurp and better varieties. I am by no means a sniper but 2MOA ball and half-MOA match behave visibly different even at a … Continue reading
Another little CZ527 carbine
This 527 Varmint carbine has a heavier barrel and turns in 0.4MOA groups with handloads. Obviously, that is with a skilled shooter behind the gun. My friend’s father is such a shooter.
CZ527, the beautiful little performer
Nice wood, excellent single set trigger. Not my gun, unfortunately. I borrowed it from a friend’s father. The father shoots it with handloads and gets consistent 1MOA groups with it. He uses it without a bipod, I added that just … Continue reading

A special day, 23rd squared
Today, is a special day for me, it’s the 23rd anniversary of coming to the United States. Was a pretty good day, mostly spent taking photos of Remington shotguns, tactical and sniper rifles for several magazines. Good weather, a range … Continue reading

A contemplative shooter
Today, several of my friends went for a shooting walk out to another friend’s farm. I love being able to continue chatting without plugs or muffs being required, shooting at clays and targets of opportunity all the while.

Yugoslav 7.92mm Mauser with a couple of non-obvious customizations: Timney trigger and U-notch instead of v-notch rear sight. Neat tshirt from 1791 Apparel.
