Known among many shooters as the "Sweet Sixteen," the 16 gauge shotgun cartridge has a tribe of dedicated followers who appreciate its versatility. The recoil is manageable and the payload is reasonable – two features that contribute to the appeal of the 16 gauge in comparison to 12 gauge and 20 gauge shotguns. And while people say the gauge is dying, they’ve been saying that for the last 50 years – and it ain’t dead yet.

Anti-gun Democrat New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is in for a rough ride that could end with an impeachment effort in the wake of serious allegations of sexual harassment of “multiple women” including executive assistant Brittany Commisso, who was interviewed by “CBS This Morning” and the Albany Times-Union.
Cuomo is disliked by Empire State gun owners for signing the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement (SAFE) Act in 2013, and for championing other gun control efforts. Last month, he declared a statewide “gun violence disaster emergency” and created the “Governor’s Council on Gun Violence Reduction.”

With the U.S. Olympic shooting team recently wrapping up its most successful Olympics in more-than a half century, one unmeasurable effect of the team’s performance could be a strengthening of the Second Amendment. “We had one of the best performances since 1964,” Matt Suggs, CEO of USA Shooting, the national governing body for the shooting sports, said of the successful performance. “We’ve had two other Olympics where we’ve had six medals. But with this group, it was a little more gold, a little less bronze, so it was a good Olympics for us. |

The same person who invented the muffler for the automobile invented them for guns. Hiram Maxim, the inventor, called them “Silencers”. An obvious reason they were not invented earlier is the inside of a gun muffler is more complex than a gun barrel. Early silencer designs were made of mild steel, making them subject to corrosion. A silencer for a gun using black powder would require a significant effort to clean after each use.

Who says guns don’t have souls? Throughout history, many guns became legendary in the hands of the men who themselves were often living legends. And what tales those guns might tell! Several come to mind, but one truly exceptional rifle belonged to Sir Samuel Baker. It was reported to be one of the largest handheld rifles ever shot—a colossal blackpowder rifle made by Holland & Holland in the mid-1800s, which Baker christened “Baby.”

Though many shooters still use the same practices that are generations old, rifle shooting has changed over the years. One of the many things born from the current precision rifle shooting craze is a wealth of new support devices. Bipods, in particular, are a popular option. They’re easily attached to the front of your rifle and extend to give a solid front shooting support. You could use backpacks, shooting sticks, and other things, but it is hard to beat a good sturdy bipod. So let’s dive into some of the legs and feet that make up the modern bipod market.

Chicago police said 73 people were shot, 11, fatally, across the city over the weekend, more than half during a 10-hour span that saw a police officer killed and three mass shootings that wounded 16 people. The mass shootings occurred about an hour apart in Gresham on the South Side early Sunday, not long after two Chicago police officers were shot during a traffic stop in West Englewood.

Legislation introduced in Congress this month would require any semi-automatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine to be registered under the National Firearms Act. The bill, H.R.4953, was filed last Friday in the House by U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch, a Florida Democrat who is outspoken in his support of gun control measures.

As we grow up, age and mature, we come to think that there are some that we can count on to call it straight. We can count on umpires to be neutral arbitrators of the strike zone. We thought we could rely on the Supreme Court to judge all laws, all ideas, all thoughts, all regulations, and all speech according to the U.S. Constitution. We thought scientists would pursue the truth.

My First Gun: Remington 700 in .270 Winchester

In 1978, my best friend bought a Remington 700 chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum. It was a fire-breathing dragon, and I had to have something better or just as good. While saving paper-route money I studied ballistics charts, concocted complicated formulas, and determined the .264 Winchester Magnum the cartridge for me. In the winter of my fourteenth year, my father took me to all the local gun shops, but none had a .264. A .270 Winchester was as close as I could get. It was a brand-new Remington 700, and I was $14 short. Dad loaned me the 14 dollars, plus enough for a 2-7X Tasco rifle scope, and I had my first deer rifle.

Turkey hunting in North Carolina was down slightly this year compared to last year’s all-time record, but the total turkey harvest still clocked in as the second-highest on record. Turkey season runs from early April to early May. Last year, turkey season coincided with the height of COVID stay-at-home orders, and hunters apparently took advantage of the downtime resulting in the all-time record.

I know that sinking feeling of pulling up to the spot you’re planning to hunt only to find that it looks like a Costco parking lot on July 3. Or, maybe you packed 10 miles into a secluded bowl only to see hunters pouring out of every nook and cranny on opening morning. Because if we’re being honest, even the most welcoming hunters would rather have a hunting spot to themselves.

TO REMEMBER |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
