As an avid shooter, I always seek firearms that balance reliability and ease of use, and the W/S shotgun came highly recommended by fellow enthusiasts. Pros: Reliability: One of the standout features of the W/S shotgun is its reliability. The inertia-operated system can function well even in less-than-ideal conditions, making it a solid choice for hunting and sport shooting. I tested it with various loads, and it cycled smoothly without any hiccups. Quick Follow-up Shots: The semi-auto action allows for quick follow-up shots, which is crucial during hunting or competitive shooting scenarios. I was able to maintain a good rhythm and accuracy when firing multiple rounds, which is a significant advantage over pump-action shotguns. Lightweight Design: The W/S sho

10 Classic Hunting Rifles Every Hunter Should Own (Part 2) 4. Ruger No. 1 Single-shot hunting rifles aren’t what most of us have in mind when we think of the classics, but the Ruger No. 1 is one that has stood the test of time. It was introduced in 1967 and is a hammerless falling-block single shot that styled after the British Farquharson rifles and was offered in a plethora of chamberings and developed a cult-like following. In an article introducing the Ruger M/77 in the September 1968 issue of OL, O’Connor says the following regarding the still-new Ruger No. 1: “The production of a single-shot big-game rifle was a bold gamble on Ruger’s part. I am sure that 9 out of 10 market consultants would have said that the demand for single-shot rifles for centerfire cartridges had gone out with the mustache cup and the Stanley Steamer. In spite of all this and also in spite of the fact that Ruger gets a premium price for the No. 1 single shot, his (Bill Ruger) only problem has been to prod

CZ 550 LUX Rifle in .30-06 Caliber Review I recently had the opportunity to use the CZ 550 LUX rifle chambered in .30-06, and I feel compelled to share my experience with this exceptional firearm. As a longtime enthusiast and user of various hunting rifles, my expectations were high, and the CZ 550 LUX did not disappoint. Build Quality and Design The first thing that strikes you about the CZ 550 LUX is its aesthetic appeal. Featuring a traditional European design, the rifle showcases a beautifully finished walnut stock with a rich grain that adds to its visual charm. The hand-checkering on the stock provides a solid grip and lends an air of sophistication. The overall craftsmanship is evident, with attention to detail in the metalwork and wood finishing. The rifle also boasts a sturdy Mauser-style action, which is known for its reliability and smooth operation. The bolt action is very smooth, allowing for quick follow-up shots, which is often critical when in the field. The weight

Hardware: Colt Anaconda by Dick Williams - Monday, November 15, 2021 Hardware: Colt Anaconda For some folks, the sight of a scoped bolt-action rifle or elegant over/under shotgun instantly makes them think of hunting. For me, the glimpse of a long-barreled big-bore revolver does the same thing. In the case of Colt’s new stainless steel Anaconda with an 8-inch barrel, visions of big-game animals immediately popped into my mind. Knowing the Anaconda is chambered in .44 Magnum, and seeing the overall size of the new revolver up close, made me focus on the largest of the animals I’ve hunted. This is clearly a handgun and caliber one could use worldwide on any land animal. Colt Anaconda .44 Magnum Revolver Yes, the Anaconda does remind you of its smaller relative, the new Python, with its world-famous ventilated rib, full-length lug and highly polished stainless-steel finish. A little closer look reveals the fully adjustable rear sight, wide hammer spur, open-back rubber Hogue grips, re

RED-LEGGED PARTRIDGE Larger than the grey partridge, it has a large white chin and throat patch, bordered with black. It has a greyish body with bold black flank stripes, and a chestnut-sided tail. It is originally native of the south of France (south of Loire River) but was introduced in all the country. Some of them fly high, others low but always fast. It is a very challenging bird.

Beretta AL391 Urika 2 (12 Gauge) - A Hunter's review I've owned and hunted with a Beretta AL391 Urika 2 for a good number of years now. It was my go-to semi-auto for everything from waterfowl to upland birds, and even the occasional sporting clays outing. I've put it through its paces in all sorts of conditions – rain, snow, heat, dust – and have a pretty solid understanding of its strengths and weaknesses. The Good Stuff Beretta AL391 Urika 2 12-gauge: Shooting Comfort: This is where the Urika 2 truly shines. The gas-operated system does a fantastic job of soaking up recoil. Even with heavier magnum loads, it's surprisingly manageable, which translates to less fatigue during long days in the field and faster follow-up shots. Compared to inertia-driven guns, it's noticeably softer on the shoulder. Reliability (Mostly): When clean and properly maintained, the Urika 2 is generally reliable. It'll cycle a wide range of loads, from light target rounds to heavier hunting loads, without

The lion (Panthera leo) is a large cat of the genus Panthera native to Africa and India. It has a muscular, broad-chested body; short, rounded head; round ears; and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail. It is sexually dimorphic; adult male lions are larger than females and have a prominent mane. It is a social species, forming groups called prides. A lion's pride consists of a few adult males, related females, and cubs. Groups of female lions usually hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The lion is an apex and keystone predator; although some lions scavenge when opportunities occur and have been known to hunt humans, lions typically do not actively seek out and prey on humans.

Blaser R93 with Three Barrels: .223 Rem, .30-06 Sprg, and 9.3x62 Review The Blaser R93 is a remarkable combination of versatility, precision, and modern firearm technology, making it a favored choice among many hunters and shooting enthusiasts. Having had the opportunity to use this rifle with three different barrels (.223 Rem, .30-06 Sprg, and 9.3x62), I would like to share my experience and thoughts on its performance, design, and handling. Design and Build Quality: The Blaser R93 stands out with its unique straight-pull action, which is a refreshing change from the more traditional bolt-action rifles. This design allows for faster follow-up shots, which can be critical in both hunting and competitive shooting scenarios. The build quality of the R93 is exceptional; every component feels robust and well-engineered. The wood finish is smooth and aesthetically pleasing, while the synthetic options provide durability and weather resistance. Versatility with Three Barrels: One of th

Bergara B-14 When this rifle made a splash in America, gun-counter savants were wont to call it “the rifle the Remington 700 should have been.” Blasphemous though that may be to Remington disciples, the fact is the B-14 is an exceptional rifle and has garnered several national awards. Patterned much like the M700, it has a better extractor and bolt release. Manufactured in Bergara, Spain, the B-14 has quickly garnered a reputation for superb accuracy, thanks to the unrelenting quality of Bergara barrels. This reputation is supported by a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. Versions range from true mountain rifles to heavy, configurable PRS competition guns. There’s even a B-14 R rimfire PRS-type training rifle. The $865 B-14 Ridge model shown here won the NRA Golden Bullseye Best Rifle award in 2018. It has a threaded muzzle, a composite stock with soft-touch finish, and integral epoxy-pillar bedding. It’s an excellent all-around hunting rifle that won’t let you down..

Designed to be the perfect combination of speed and comfort, the Escort Dynamax semi-automatic shotgun is loaded with features that maximize both performance and value. The Dynamax is outfitted with Escort's modern, patented Hybrid Cycling System (HCS). It combines the best features from each of the two traditional cycling operating systems, gas and kinetic. The Dynamax will cycle light loads like a traditional gas system, but uses much less gas. As a result, recoil is reduced, and the cycle rate is faster and more efficient. With less felt recoil, the shooter acquires targets faster, making follow up shots more effective. Using less gas to cycle the gun also means the Dynamax does not have to be cleaned as frequently, and the shotgun is simple to break down, making maintenance easy. The entire barrel/receiver module is oxidation-proof for ultimate weather resistance. The precision-tooled barrel is made from Ni-Cr-Mo steel, and is hard-chrome-lined. The bolt of the Dynamax is also fabr

Commentary: It’s time to bring back Illinois’ deer check stations On the opening weekend of firearms deer season in Illinois, I made the rounds, checking in to hear all the great deer stories. I stopped at processors to see how the numbers looked and to get a look at what was coming in. Over and over I heard a constant refrain this year – the same as I hear every year: “I sure wish we still had check stations.”

Ni un ciervo a la vista durante la última salida de una tarde en el Bosque Mormal, es a veces a ras de suelo que la naturaleza te sorprende, junto a mis pies un frágil gusano lento enrollado en una bola toma el aire! (No es una serpiente sino un lagarto sin patas, por lo que no representa absolutamente ningún peligro. No hay necesidad de asustarse o algo peor para eliminarlo) Es carnívoro y consume principalmente babosas, caracoles, lombrices, insectos y arañas. Recuerda que la lombriz es una especie protegida en todo el territorio nacional.
