The Best And Most Complete Hunting Tips

SIG SAUER has a huge hit on its hands with the P365. Who in their right mind wouldn’t want 10+1 rounds in the footprint of guns that typically hold 6+1? Our man John Boch sure loves his, giving it a well-deserved five star review. But, alas, the P365 isn’t proving to be all rainbows and…

Think of those classic old photos you’ve seen of hunters in a South Dakota upland field in search of pheasant. They usually were carrying a break action shotgun, box-lock over/under or side-by-side. Those iconic scenes made other hunters want their own double gun, either for pheasant, ducks, sporting clays or skeet. The problem was, the…

Remington first rolled out the Model 783 back in 2013. The affordably priced rifle that was based on the Marlin XL7 design now comes in a range of six calibers — including 7mm and .300 Win Mag – and puts a quality bolt action within reach of virtually any shooter. Mine is chambered in versatile…

CMMG Mk47 (image courtesy JWT for thetruthaboutguns.com) When it comes to modularity and the ease of customization, no rifle on the market beats the AR platform. There’s a reason why it’s referred to as “the Barbie doll for grownups.” That flexibility has made it the dominant platform for a semi-automatic rifle in the US. When…

I’ve been a big fan of the Savage Model 110 for a long time. It’s been around for over 60 years and I’ve been recommending it for decades. They’ve always been accurate rifles that give the shooter a lot of rifle for their buck, especially when it comes to accuracy. With the new Savage Model…

Remington’s R1 line of 1911s has steadily expanded since Big Green first introduced them back in 2010. In that time, they’ve earned a lot of respect for performance and value (see JWT’s review of their R1 Carry Commander). For those open-minded enough to evaluate a gun on its merits and not on mis-steps the maker…

I don’t like the way this gun looks. I don’t like the way this gun feels. But man, I sure do like the way the Beretta PX-4 Storm shoots. Like a lot of folks, and every single action movie ever, I dig the Beretta 92 series. And like every soldier, I hated it when it…

After many years (decades?) of concentrating on shotguns and rifles, Remington finally got back into the business of handgun production. Today Remington makes a variety of successful handguns including a slew of 1911s, as well as the duty-size 9mm RP9 and the pocket-sized RM380. But there was a big hiccup on the way back to handgun…

Long, long ago, I watched as a 5th Special Forces Group sergeant boarded a Chinook helicopter in southern Afghanistan. As he walked through the rotor wash and turbine exhaust to the ramp of the helicopter, a young Afghan man emerged from a household alcove with an AK47 and began firing. He didn’t get many shots…

With no prior military service and an affinity for wing shooting, it took a while for USGI builds to reach the top of my list. In fact, I was planning to build a new snow goose shotgun when the opportunity to start on an A2 build landed in my lap. Of course, I couldn’t pass it…
