Review of the 1953 SKS Rifle 7.62x39 Imported from East Germany I recently had the opportunity to acquire a 1953 SKS rifle chambered in 7.62x39, which was brought in from East Germany. As a firearms enthusiast, I was excited to add this piece of history to my collection. Here’s my honest assessment, including both the pros and cons of this iconic firearm.

10 Classic Hunting Rifles Every Hunter Should Own (Part 1) These classic hunting rifles bring a good dose of nostalgia, and plenty of real-world performance 1. Springfield Armory Model 1903 Sporter Many, if not most, of our modern bolt-action hunting rifles have their roots in military rifles of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. After the World Wars, an abundance of surplus rifles was quickly taken advantage of by hunters. The 1903 Springfield was commonly “sporterized” by pulling the action and putting it in a shorter, more-handy “sporter” stock. Of course, they were often re-barreled, re-chambered, and highly-modified for specific hunting purposes—all based around the robust 1903 action. It was common for gunsmiths to “sporterize” surplus rifles for customers, turning them into heirloom hunting rifles. If I was to buy one, I’d take the original .30/06 chambering, although they were often re-barreled in other calibers like .270 Win. The 1903’s action was built for battle, a

A fisherman with a spear. Mansi, Sverdlovsk Region, Verkhotursky District, 1908. Author: I. K. Zelenov. Photo from the album "The Kunstkamera Archive: Rites, Daily Life, and Faces of Ancestors in Old Photographs” Mansi is a small Finno-Ugric people in Russia, the indigenous population of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug — Yugra. They speak the Mansi language. They are the closest linguistic relatives of the Khanty, and they are also related to the Hungarians. Mansi belong to the Uralic race. The total population is 12,228 people (according to the 2021 census). About 200 Mansi people live in the north of the Sverdlovsk Region. A few live in the northeast of the Perm Region (the Vishersky State Nature Reserve). The combined name of the Mansi and the closely related Khanty people is the Ob Ugra. It is believed that the Mansi ethnos emerged as a result of the fusion of local Neolithic tribes, as well as Ugric and Indo-Iranian tribes that migrated from the south through the steppes and

Soldiers of the elite guard unit of the Iranian Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in a leopard skin uniform, 1960, Tehran. Persian leopards are one of the largest subspecies of leopards in the world. Their body length ranges from 126 to 183 cm, and their tail is 94-116 cm long. The skull is 20-25 cm long in males and 20-22 cm in females. The upper teeth of males reach a length of 68-75 mm, in females they are 64-67 mm. The height of the animal is approximately 76 cm, the average weight reaches 70 kg. In general, it is a very cautious and secretive animal. A leopard usually tries to hide, but when defending itself, it can even attack humans. He chooses gorges with streams or dense thickets as shelters. In deciduous forests, it can climb high into trees. It is not afraid of frosts and heat, but the predator usually stays far from reservoirs. The distribution range of this subspecies is quite wide, starting from the Main Caucasian Ridge and continuing to the Red Sea, and from the Bosphorus Ch

Evolution of hunting laws and wildlife conservation/management Upon what concepts are hunting policies and laws based? Wildlife management and hunting policies have evolved over time, based largely on the “public trust doctrine,” which regards wildlife as held in the public trust and managed by scientifically based regulations. During the last century, sportsmen-conservationists demanded that their government put in place agencies, institutions, laws and regulations to conserve wildlife on behalf of the citizens. As part of that demand, sportsmen/conservationists advocated ethics and self policing by any and all who partake of America’s wild bounty. The laws, rules and regulations governing hunting form a framework for a system that is designed to provide surpluses of certain species of wildlife for hunting and fishing, revenue from which funds the conservation of all wildlife, including species that aren’t hunted. This system provides the agility for wildlife managers to respond to c

Review of the Benelli Argo Special .300 WM (7.62x67) I recently had the opportunity to test the Benelli Argo Special in .300 WM, and I must say, it left quite an impression. As a hunter and shooting enthusiast, I appreciate fine craftsmanship and reliable performance, both of which this rifle delivers. Build Quality and Design: The Argo Special boasts a robust construction with a sleek design. The wood stock is aesthetically pleasing and feels solid in hand, providing a nice balance. The metalwork is well-finished, with a matte coating that adds durability and reduces glare, which is essential during hunting trips.

It offers impressive precision right out of the box, and after a few adjustments, it shot tight groups at various distances. The .300 WM caliber provides significant stopping power, making it a great choice for larger game. The recoil, while noticeable, is manageable thanks to th
