Standing on the edge of an open field, with the sounds of the beaters and their dogs emanating from the thicket, my eyes widened as the keiler—as the really big wild boars are called in Poland—boiled from the brush. I swung the Heym rifle until the red dot crossed the …

From gasoline to sliced bread, everything is getting more expensive these days. The firearm world is not immune to inflation, as anyone who has experienced sticker shock when pulling a box of ammunition off their local gun retailer’s shelf well knows. It is into this economic reality that KelTec introduces the P15, a …

Henry Repeating Arms is introducing a new 9mm-chambered, traditionally configured semi-auto carbine with a wooden stock set. The Henry Homesteader is ideal for the protection of property, the home and livestock and is also fun for weekend gun range shooters as well, especially considering it’s chambered in 9mm. The Homesteader has …

Prices for pre-war and wartime-production guns are high and getting higher with each passing year, and even post-war examples made in France by Manurhin are creeping toward the $1,000 mark. This economic reality puts owning one of these pistols …

Laying prone against a termite mound in the wide-open semi-Karoo of South Africa’s Free State, I adjusted the hold of my .375 H&H to compensate for the 400 yards between my rifle and the eland bull. We had leopard-crawled until we were absolutely out of cover, and there was no means of …

Collecting military surplus rifles is no longer a hobby you can blindly dive into, and certainly not when you’re on a budget. While the author, only being in his 30s, missed the golden age of inexpensive surplus firearms, he still fondly remembers $79 Mosin Nagants, $89 SKS rifles, and fully …

Times, and gun ownership, are changing. Much to the chagrin of those who oppose lawful gun ownership, it is becoming increasingly difficult to paint the stereotype of today’s gun owner as pale, male and stale.
