Precision isn’t an accident—it’s the result of good design, consistent fundamentals, and a rifle that does its job without drama. For hunters and target shooters who want clean breaks, predictable performance, and a platform that doesn’t fight them, a well-executed bolt action makes all the difference, especially for left-handed shooters who are too often forced to compromise.

SAVAGE ARMS AXIS 2 LH [GRN] steps into that gap with a straightforward promise: better out-of-the-box accuracy, improved ergonomics, and a price that keeps your budget intact.

What makes this bolt gun matter

At its core, this rifle is purpose-built for real-world use: a left-handed bolt action, chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor, wearing a 22-inch barrel and a green stock that blends into most backcountry settings. The updated bolt handle on this model isn’t just a cosmetic tweak—it’s shaped for better purchase with gloved or cold hands, and it runs with the kind of smoothness that keeps you focused on the target instead of the mechanics. If you’ve spent time working a bolt in rain or frost, you’ll appreciate how that small detail translates to control when it counts.

Accuracy starts with consistency, and that’s where two key features pull their weight: the user-adjustable AccuTrigger and thread-in headspacing. AccuTrigger gives you a crisp, clean break without the guesswork, and it’s adjustable so you can set a weight that supports precise shots without sacrificing safety. The thread-in headspacing is about repeatability—barrel-to-receiver alignment that stays true shot after shot. Put simply, the rifle removes variables, and that’s how you stack small groups with confidence.

Why 6.5mm Creedmoor makes sense here

There’s a reason 6.5mm Creedmoor earned its reputation among hunters and precision shooters. It offers flat trajectories, excellent ballistic coefficients, and recoil that stays comfortable for extended range sessions. Pairing that cartridge with a 22-inch barrel is a smart move; you get solid velocity for longer shots without turning the rifle into a cumbersome field carry. The combination is ideal for whitetail, mule deer, and similar game, and it doubles nicely for range work where you’re refining wind calls and dope at distance.

For newer shooters, the mild recoil helps build fundamentals—sight picture, trigger press, and follow-through—without developing bad habits. For seasoned hands, the cartridge’s consistency makes it a reliable tool when the shot window is tight and the weather won’t cooperate.

Ergonomics that don’t get in your way

Left-handed shooters will immediately notice the benefit of a true left-hand action. Running the bolt without breaking position is faster, cleaner, and less fatiguing over a long day. The updated bolt handle’s ergonomic shape delivers control in adverse conditions—exactly when rifles tend to slip out of rhythm. The stock’s green finish is functional, not flashy, and the rifle balances well off bags or from improvised rests.

The included 4-round magazine feeds reliably and keeps the profile trim for field carry. With the magazine seated, loading and unloading remains straightforward—no fumbling, no surprises.

Out-of-the-box performance that respects your time

I’ve always believed a rifle should earn its keep on day one. This one’s redesigned chassis and improved ergonomics work with the AccuTrigger and thread-in headspacing to deliver tight, predictable groups without a long list of upgrades. That means more time on glass and in the field, less time chasing fixes. The bolt throw is clean, the trigger break is consistent, and the rifle settles into position naturally—three things that translate directly into hits.

If you’re building a practical setup, consider a robust 3-9x or 3-15x optic with a reliable zero stop, quality rings torqued to spec, and a sling you trust for steadying shots in kneeling or seated positions. Feed it match-grade or well-proven hunting loads in 6.5mm Creedmoor and document the rifle’s preferences; you’ll see groups tighten as you refine your ammo choice.

Savage Arms pedigree at a practical price

Savage Arms has a track record for squeezing accuracy out of bolt guns without inflating price tags, and this model stays true to that lineage. At $438.99, it’s positioned where first-time buyers can get serious performance without overspending, and experienced shooters can add a capable left-handed 6.5mm Creedmoor to the safe without hesitation. In the Bolt Action category, it sits in that sweet spot where performance and value intersect, offering features that usually demand a higher price point.

Field notes: how it carries, how it shoots

Balance matters more than most folks admit. This rifle shoulders quickly and tracks smoothly, which shows when you’re transitioning between targets or settling on a quartering shot across a hillside. The 22-inch barrel gives you the velocity you want while keeping swing weight manageable. Off a pack or bipod, the rifle settles in like it’s meant to be there. On the trigger, AccuTrigger’s clean wall and break make it easier to call your shots and spot impacts—skills that turn decent shooters into consistent shooters.

In rough weather, the updated bolt handle pays dividends. Gloves? No problem. Cold, wet hands? The contour still gives you leverage. When you’re on a ridge with wind changes and a timeline, small ergonomic choices add up to real confidence.

What to expect in the box

You’re getting a left-handed bolt action chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor, a 22-inch barrel, the user-adjustable AccuTrigger, thread-in headspacing, the updated ergonomic bolt handle, a green stock, and one 4-round magazine. That’s a solid foundation you can run as-is or build into a purpose-driven setup for your hunt or range routine.

Who this rifle is for

Left-handed hunters who demand reliable accuracy without premium pricing. New shooters who want a cartridge that’s forgiving but capable. Experienced riflemen looking for a practical, no-nonsense 6.5mm Creedmoor that performs in real weather and real terrain. If you appreciate hardware that stays quiet and competent, this one fits.

Why it earns a spot in the safe

The combination of user-adjustable AccuTrigger, thread-in headspacing, a left-hand action, and the 6.5mm Creedmoor chambering makes this rifle a quiet performer. It’s reliable, simple to run, and built to tighten groups without demanding an armload of upgrades. Factor in the $438.99 price and you’ve got a bolt gun that respects your skill, your shoulder, and your wallet—all while keeping you focused on the fundamentals that win shots.

Precision is earned in the quiet details: clean fundamentals, steady breathing, and gear that doesn’t quit when conditions turn. Long-range bolt guns live and die by consistency. When you break the shot, you expect the rifle to feed the next round like it’s on rails. That’s why the magazine you choose matters more than most give it credit for.

SAVAGE 110BA/111 LONG RANGE HUNTER keeps that promise by delivering dedicated, purpose-built feeding for the 110 BA and 111 Long Range Hunter bolt-action platforms.

Why a dedicated magazine matters for precision bolt guns

Every long-range shooter has felt the sting of a feed hiccup—your rhythm breaks, your data gets cold, and confidence takes a hit. With rifles like the Savage Arms 110 BA and 111 Long Range Hunter, the magazine is the bridge between a well-seated round and a perfectly timed shot. A magazine designed specifically for these models helps maintain consistent presentation height, repeatable feed angle, and dependable lock-in. No guesswork. No flex. No short-stack drama.

This isn’t a “universal” part cobbled to fit a dozen actions. It’s engineered for the platform it serves, and that alignment pays off when you’re running positional drills, working barricades, or pacing shots at distance. For the shooter who tunes torque values and tracks muzzle velocity like a ledger, a model-specific mag is part of the same discipline.

Designed for the 110 BA and 111 Long Range Hunter

Let’s talk compatibility. The 110 BA and 111 Long Range Hunter are proven bolt-action rifles from Savage Arms—known for pragmatic accuracy, a smart action design, and no-nonsense reliability. This magazine is purpose-built for those platforms, so you avoid tolerance roulette and get consistent fit with the action and bottom metal these rifles wear.

What that means for your time behind the gun

• Repeatable feeding: A dedicated feed path reduces variables when cycling the bolt under stress or with gloves.
• Positive lock-up: Secure retention prevents micro-shifts that could throw timing or cause misalignment.
• Rifle-specific geometry: Designed around the 110 BA and 111 Long Range Hunter interface, maintaining the presentation your bolt expects.

Training, competition, and field use

Extra magazines aren’t just convenience; they’re tempo. Whether you’re burning down a long-range course, running unknown-distance steel, or checking wind calls on a hillside, having additional mags staged means less downtime and more data. It also protects your cadence: load, shoot, cycle, re-index—no fumble, no scramble.

Building a reliable loadout

Set up your pack with two or three magazines dedicated to your long-range rifle and label them. Track their round counts like you do your brass. Rotate them during training to even out wear. If one ever gets dropped in the dirt, you’ve got a clean fallback. This is how you keep momentum when conditions tighten their grip.

Price, category, and value

At $107.99 in the firearms category, you’re paying for platform-specific reliability. On a rifle built for precision, a magazine isn’t an accessory—it’s a core component. The wrong mag can introduce variables that cost you time, confidence, and hits. This model aligns with the 110 BA and 111 Long Range Hunter, and that alignment is where value lives.

Savage Arms pedigree

Savage Arms has a reputation for practical accuracy and user-focused engineering. Their bolt guns have put an honest amount of steel on target for years, supported by features that shooters actually use, not just talk about. When a magazine is designed for their 110 BA and 111 Long Range Hunter rifles, it benefits from that same design discipline—meant to run clean and keep pace with a shooter’s demands.

Maintenance and longevity

Any magazine—especially for a precision platform—deserves the same care you give your bore and bolt. Keep it clean, inspect the feed lips, and don’t let grit ride along for the mission. Mark your mags, note the round counts, and gently check for drop damage after range days. Reliability isn’t an accident; it’s a habit.

Field tips from the firing line

• Keep one magazine loaded for immediate drills and one staged for slow-fire confirmation at distance.
• Use a simple loop or pull-tab on your training mag for gloved extraction from pouches.
• If you log dope and weather, log which magazine you used for long strings—consistency is king.

Who this is for

If you own a 110 BA or 111 Long Range Hunter and care about first-round hits, this is for you. Precision hunters needing reliable cycling in the cold and dust. Competitors who want clean feed geometry during positional transitions. Students training fundamentals who don’t want a mag-induced malfunction making noise in their head. It’s one of those “buy once, train often” pieces that tightens the whole system.

What you see is what you get

This is a dedicated magazine for the 110 BA and 111 Long Range Hunter bolt-action rifles. No inflated claims, no gimmicks. Just the right fit for the right rifles, built to do the quiet job that enables the loud one—making accurate hits on demand.

When a wary longbeard hangs at 60 yards, the difference between a story and a successful tag often comes down to realism and smart deployment. Hunters talk camo, calls, and patterning, but the decoy is the silent negotiator in the woods—either convincing or giving you away. That’s why I pay close attention to posture, texture, and how a decoy flows with wind and light.

PRIMOS KILLER B steps into that role like a seasoned closer—purpose-built, quiet in spirit, ruthless in effect. It’s a strutting gobbler decoy that leans on Primos’ proven formula while adding practical packability and movement cues that sell the lie to suspicious toms in a heartbeat.

Why lifelike design wins encounters

Turkeys don’t read marketing copy; they read body language. A decoy’s surface, silhouette, and posture have to convey confidence without overplaying dominance. This one carries an updated strutting posture that looks like a gobbler locked into his own bravado—precisely the visual challenge that pulls boss birds and mid-tier toms inside your effective range. It’s a Decoys category tool with a singular mission: communicate “I own this ground” without looking unnatural or stiff.

Material advantage: proprietary formula, field-proven

Primos didn’t reinvent the wheel—they brought forward what already works. The decoy is built with the same proprietary formula used in their BMobile line, and that matters. The finish cuts glare and holds realistic texture, while the body remains resilient through cold mornings and rough rides in the vest. In practical terms: it survives hikes, brush, and repeat stake-ins without looking like it spent a season in a gear bin.

Mobility and packability: roll it, run it, hunt it

If your setup requires moving quick or slipping between ridges, the ability to roll up the decoy and slide it into your vest is a genuine edge. This one compresses nicely, then pops back into form at the spot you choose to set. It ships with a carrying bag, which keeps the surface protected and your kit streamlined. It’s the kind of detail you appreciate after a mile of sidehilling, when you need to deploy fast and not spook birds with noisy gear.

Movement that matters: silk fan dynamics

The tail fan is silk, and that’s a smart call. It catches light wind to create subtle, natural motion—just enough to animate the strut without spinning or telegraphing a fake. You can run it full strut to provoke aggression or lay the fan flat to tone down the profile when birds are cautious or heavily pressured. Being able to switch between full strut and flat gives you options for contact birds, midday roamers, and those late-season toms that have seen every trick in the book.

Posture and presence: reading the room

Body language is your dialect in the turkey woods. The updated strutter posture on this model pushes a confident stance, which is ideal for drawing in birds that want to settle a score. If you’re working a gobbler that’s hesitant, consider starting with the fan flat, then ease into a more aggressive profile as the bird closes. Pairing this with soft yelps and a cutt at the right moment can convert curiosity into a commitment.

Deployment tips from the field

Stake placement and shot lanes

Set the decoy at a 10–2 o’clock angle relative to your position so a tom approaches broadside to your muzzle. Keep the stake steady but allow the fan to breathe with the wind. In thicker cover, reduce how exposed the decoy is—let birds catch glimpses first. This creates tension and draws them closer.

Wind and terrain

Use terrain to your advantage. On ridgetops or open flats with steady breeze, the silk fan’s micro-movements are most convincing. In still air, a slight reposition during a lull can help the decoy catch natural light and enhance the 3D read.

Team tactics with a hen

Running a single strutting gobbler decoy is often enough, but pairing with a single hen placed just off the gobbler’s shoulder can sell a courtship scene. Place the hen slightly quartering away from you so the tom circles into your lane.

Brand pedigree: Primos gets the details right

Primos has built a strong reputation for practical, hunter-driven design. The model heritage is listed as “Various” because they’ve iterated on this pattern over time—refining posture and materials rather than chasing gimmicks. That legacy shows up in how the decoy handles in the field and how it stands up to repeat use in rough country.

Carry less, get more: the minimalist advantage

Rolling this decoy into your vest and moving quickly between sets is simple, which means you’re more likely to make the aggressive plays that produce opportunities. Less bulk equals more speed. When you can bail from an unproductive spot and redeploy without wrestling your kit, you stack the odds in your favor.

Price and value

At 100.79, this is an investment in realism. You’re paying for a credible strutter silhouette, a durable proprietary body, a silk tail fan with adjustable presence, and a carrying bag that keeps the rig intact. If a decoy buys you an extra 15–20 yards on a wary bird, it pays for itself the first time you punch that tag.

No fluff—just results

There are no gimmicky extras here. What you get is a field-ready strutting decoy built to be rolled, carried, and deployed fast, with posture and fan options that adapt to bird temperament and pressure. It belongs in the Decoys category for hunters who want convincing body language and smart transport without babysitting fragile gear.

Care and maintenance

Keep the decoy in its carrying bag when not in use to protect the finish. After wet hunts, let the silk fan dry fully before storage. A quick wipe-down removes mud and dust; avoid harsh solvents. Check your stake for straightness and swap it out if it starts to wobble—movement should be subtle and wind-driven, not from a bent post.

Who will get the most from this decoy

If you hunt mixed terrain—timber edges, open fields, or rolling ridges—and you like to push pace, you’ll appreciate the roll-up design and posture options. If you guide new hunters, this decoy becomes a teaching tool: it shows how body language, not just calling, drives a tom’s decisions. If you hunt pressured birds, the ability to shift from full strut to a flatter profile keeps you from overplaying dominance when birds are cautious.

Field-readiness at a glance

• Proprietary Primos material (same as BMobile) for realistic texture and durability
• Rolls up to vest size; ships with carrying bag
• Silk tail fan: full strut or lying flat for adjustable presence
• Updated posture for a true strutting gobbler stance
• Price: 100.79
• Brand: Primos; Model: Various

Final thoughts from the field

Some gear becomes part of your rhythm. This decoy is one of those pieces—quietly competent, always ready, and built to take a beating. If you’re serious about creating a scene that draws gobblers the last 20 yards, this is a tool worth carrying. Set it right. Read the bird. Let the silk fan breathe. Then be ready when he commits.

Why this anniversary semi-auto deserves a slot in your rack

Some rifles feel like a handshake from an old friend—familiar, confidence-inspiring, and always ready to work. When you shoulder a rimfire that cycles clean, prints tight groups, and shrugs off bad weather, you pay attention. When it celebrates a legacy with tasteful engraving and practical upgrades, you bring it home.

RUGER 10/22 SPORTER

The 75th Anniversary touches are more than nostalgia. A laser-engraved logo on the bolt, receiver, and stock marks this .22 LR as a milestone, not a gimmick. Under that commemorative skin is the legendary 10/22 action—tried, true, and tuned by decades of real-world use. If your kit values reliability over flash, this rifle fits right in. Want to see the details now? Shop this product on our page, which directs you to the retailer for purchase.

Rimfire that runs: action, barrel, and the V-block advantage

Consistency wins, whether you’re teaching fundamentals, ringing steel, or trimming varmints at the treeline. The heart of this rifle is Ruger’s semi-auto action—time-proven, easy to maintain, and famously tolerant of bulk .22 LR. The cold hammer-forged barrel is locked to the receiver with a two-screw V-block system, which is the kind of simple, elegant engineering you want in the field. The V-block keeps the barrel seated and repeatable, helping you maintain zero through transport and season changes. You may not notice it at the bench on a calm day; you’ll notice it after a few thousand rounds and a year of weather.

On the controls, Ruger gets the little things right. The prominent magazine release is intuitive—fast when you want it, secure when you don’t. The positive push-button cross-bolt safety is exactly where your finger expects it, with tactile feedback you can trust under gloves. These controls aren’t flashy; they’re honest, durable, and built to be used.

Polymer where it counts, steel where it matters

Ruger’s glass-filled polymer trigger housing keeps weight down while boosting impact and abrasion resistance. That matters when the rifle rides in a truck, leans against a fence post, or gets knocked around during a long day on the range. Internals are protected from grit and the elements, and manufacturing tolerances stay tight. It’s not fragile, and it’s not trying to be fancy—just resilient.

Feeding is handled by the detachable 10-round rotary magazine. If you’ve run 10/22 mags, you already know the magic here: a unique rotor that separates cartridges and feeds them consistently. That rotor is the difference between a rimfire that sings and one that stutters. Keep it clean, keep it loaded, and it just runs.

.22 Long Rifle: practical, affordable, and wildly capable

.22 LR is where disciplined shooters are made and where skills get sharpened. Low recoil and low report mean new shooters learn trigger control and sight alignment without flinch or fatigue. For seasoned hands, it’s a cost-effective way to drill positions, transitions, and target acquisition. On small game, .22 LR shines when you do your part. Pair the cartridge with a stable semi-auto like this, and you’ve got the backbone for training, plinking, pest control, and camp duty.

The 18.5-inch barrel gives you the sweet spot of velocity and handling. It carries light, points quickly, and keeps the rifle balanced whether you’re running irons or glass. Speaking of glass, the included combination scope base adapter accepts both Weaver-style and .22 tip-off mounts. That’s real value: mount the optic you already trust, or swap between a micro red dot and a lightweight rimfire scope without rethinking your setup.

Anniversary touches, field-ready extras

This model arrives in a throwback-styled 75th Anniversary box and includes a matching decal. Nice nod to history, sure—but it also packs functional add-ons: sling swivels pre-installed, a padded buttplate that makes long days more comfortable, and the optic base we already covered. You’re not hunting down parts or waiting on shipping to finish your build. Load the mag, mount your glass, and get to work.

Handling, accuracy, and the way it carries

In the hands, this rifle settles in with classic lines. The Sporter profile feels natural—steady when you’re kneeling behind a stump, quick when a rabbit bolts, and calm when you’re teaching a new shooter how to manage a sight picture. The balance encourages follow-through, which is where the accuracy really lives. Combine that with the rigidity of the V-block system and the consistency of hammer-forged rifling, and you’ve got a rimfire that punches above its price tag.

If your training day includes 200-round strings and quick reloads, that prominent mag release earns its keep. If your day is about quiet patience and careful shots, the rifle won’t fight you. It just supports the fundamentals you’re building, one clean press at a time.

Price, value, and what you’re really buying

At $337.99, you’re getting more than a commemorative roll mark. You’re investing in a platform that’s been field-proven for generations, now dressed in heritage with practical upgrades and included accessories. You’re also buying an ecosystem: magazines and parts are plentiful, training resources are everywhere, and the rifle’s reputation for reliability means you spend more time shooting and less time troubleshooting.

Setup tips to get the most from this rimfire

Optics

Use the included base to mount a lightweight 2-7x rimfire scope or a compact red dot. Keep it low for a solid cheek weld. Zero at 25 or 50 yards, depending on your game and range layout.

Ammunition

Bulk high-velocity runs great for drills and plinking. For precision at 50–100 yards, try a few match .22 LR loads to see what your barrel prefers. Clean the bore after switching loads to keep results consistent.

Sling and support

Install a lightweight two-point sling on the included swivels. Practice hasty and looped positions—the rifle’s balance rewards proper tension. A small shooting bag under the rear stock steadies longer shots without adding weight.

Maintenance

Keep the rotary magazine clean, lightly lube the action, and don’t overdo oil in dusty environments. The polymer trigger housing shrugs off impacts, but treat it like the precision component it is—no need to torque or tweak where you don’t have to.

Who this rifle is for

If you’re building a family-friendly training battery, this fits. If you’re a small-game hunter who values quiet precision over brute force, it fits. If you collect rifles that blend history and hard-use performance, it fits. It’s the kind of rimfire you hand to a new shooter on Saturday morning and then take out yourself at dusk to settle a line of steel. No drama. Just clean operation and a grin you can’t shake.

The takeaway from the range

Some rifles teach you to slow down. This one teaches you that speed and precision can coexist when the mechanics are right. The action cycles true, the barrel holds zero, the controls fall under the hand, and the rotary mag keeps the rhythm. The 75th Anniversary engraving is the signature on a piece that earns its place the old-fashioned way—by performing.

When ounces matter and reliability is non-negotiable, a rifle should disappear on the hike in and come alive when it’s time to work. Whether you’re glassing a ridgeline or zeroing from a cold bench, the rifle’s ergonomics, bolt throw, and feeding behavior either slow you down or keep you moving. I favor tools that do their job without drama.

TIKKA T3X LITE steps into that role with purpose-built practicality and a feature set that makes sense for real-world use.

View product details and pricing

Why the T3x receiver matters

The heart of this rifle is the T3x receiver. Tikka widened the angular ejection port so you can single-feed a cartridge smoothly without fighting the port. On the clock or at the bench, that enlarged opening speeds up administrative loads, unloads, and makes topping off straightforward. The receiver also adds extra screw placements up top for robust Picatinny rail attachment. That means you can torque a rail the way you want, keep zero locked, and run the optic you trust—LPVO, dial-a-dope scope, or compact hunting glass—without chasing shift after a season of recoil and travel.

Lightweight that doesn’t feel flimsy

The “Lite” name isn’t marketing fluff. This rifle trims weight without giving up the stiffness that keeps shots honest. That pays off when you’re moving over distance or climbing to position; the rifle rides easy, mounts fast, and settles into bone support without wrestling you into fatigue. Balance is neutral and predictable, making shot execution under a steady breathing cycle more repeatable.

Modular stock: grip it your way

The synthetic stock is more than weatherproof plastic. Tikka built in modular pistol grip and forend capabilities, so you can tune hand angle and support contact for your style. Out of the box you get the classic low-angled grip—ideal for a natural wrist position in kneeling or prone. Swap modules later to match your trigger reach or to straighten the wrist for a more vertical, precision-oriented hold. The forend’s modularity helps you set up for bags, bipods, and sling indexing without fighting the stock’s geometry.

Control under recoil

The stock geometry, combined with the action’s smooth cycling, keeps recoil impulse linear. That means you can spot your own impacts more often, run the bolt without losing the sight picture, and re-engage quickly. The bolt glide is characteristic Tikka—clean, consistent, no grit—so you can stay focused on wind and fundamentals instead of manhandling the action.

Blued barrel: classic look, proven performance

This model ships with a blued barrel—a nod to tradition with practical benefits. A well-executed bluing resists corrosion with proper care and sheds glare better than bright finishes in the field. It’s a finish that holds up, cleans easily, and looks right at home from timber to tundra.

Optics mounting that stays put

Those extra screw placements on the receiver are a quiet advantage. Run a Picatinny rail with additional anchor points and you reduce the chance of scope shift during a rough season. If you’re dialing dope at distance or running a fixed-zero setup and holding over, a secure base is non-negotiable. The T3x approach gives you that solid foundation without resorting to oddball hardware.

Bolt Action category, mission-ready mindset

In the Bolt Action category, the T3x family has a reputation for out-of-the-box accuracy and smooth mechanics. Tikka keeps tolerances tight and focuses on repeatability—two things you feel the first time you send rounds. While specific calibers vary by model, the platform is built to feed cleanly, extract reliably, and deliver consistency across weather and round counts. If your priority is a lightweight rifle that still holds groups after a long hike and a long day, this is squarely in that lane.

Field use: practical advantages you actually feel

Smoother admin loads and top-offs

The widened angular ejection port is a small change with an outsized effect. Need to drop a single round in, confirm feed, or clear with gloves on? It accommodates that without awkward angles or pinched fingers.

Modularity that grows with you

As your shooting style evolves, the modular pistol grip and forend let you adapt. Running a summer backcountry hunt? Keep it light and simple. Building a colder-weather rig with thicker gloves and a bipod-heavy setup? Shift the grip module and forend accessories to match. No gunsmith required.

Weather-ready, range-ready

The synthetic stock shrugs off moisture and temperature swings, and the blued barrel is easy to maintain. Drag it through a season of training and field time, then clean, oil, and rack it—no drama. Reliability is confidence, and confidence is speed.

Price point and value

At $794.99, you’re getting a rifle that slots into the sweet spot: light enough to carry all day, strong enough to hold zero and group tight, and modular enough to set up your way. You’re not paying for gimmicks—you’re paying for a receiver designed to feed better, a stock that adapts, and a barrel finish that works.

Setup tips from the field

• Mounting: Use the receiver’s extra screw placements to secure a quality Picatinny rail. Torque to spec and witness-mark your fasteners.
• Optics: Choose glass that matches your mission—lightweight 2-10x for mountain hunts or a 3-15x for mixed distance work. Keep the scope low for a solid cheek weld.
• Support: A compact bipod and a rear bag complement the rifle’s balance. The forend accepts accessories without forcing awkward hand placement.
• Stock fit: Start with the included low-angled grip. If you prefer a more vertical wrist for prone precision, swap modules to reduce tension in your trigger hand.
• Maintenance: Treat the blued barrel with a light coat of oil after cleaning, especially following wet or snowy days.

Who this rifle is for

If you want a bolt gun that cuts weight without cutting corners, this fits. If you value an action that feeds smoothly, a receiver that takes a rail the right way, and a stock that adapts to your hands and mission, you’re in the right place. Tikka’s track record for out-of-the-box performance is well-earned, and the T3x design doubles down on practical upgrades that matter in the field and on the range.

When the marsh wakes and the birds start moving, you don’t want guesswork in your hands—you want a pump that runs like muscle memory and shrugs off the elements. That’s where a purpose-built waterfowl shotgun earns its keep.

WINCHESTER SXP WATERFOWL HUNTER steps into this role with the kind of confidence that comes from smart engineering and field-proven parts. It’s a pump-action that balances speed, control, and durability, keeping you locked in on the call, the swing, and the follow-through.

Built for the Blind: Materials That Endure

A waterfowl gun lives hard. Mud, sleet, and salt spray reveal weaknesses fast. This platform fights back with an aluminum alloy receiver that keeps overall weight down without surrendering strength, paired to a steel .742 back-bored barrel that’s designed to pattern evenly and hit with authority. The chamber and bore are hard chrome plated—exactly what you want when corrosion is the enemy and you’re running high-volume steel loads in cold weather.

The rotary bolt wears black chrome protection for slick cycling and extended life. Add the textured composite stock and forearm and you get a shotgun that won’t slip in gloved hands, even when everything is soaked and freezing.

Camouflage That Works Where It Matters

From the receiver to the barrel, the Mossy Oak camouflage finish (commonly seen in Bottomlands across this model line) blends into cattails, timber, and soggy grass flats. It’s not just paint—it’s concealment that holds up to real use, keeping the platform low-profile through the entire season.

Action and Chambering: Flexible Firepower

This pump-action is offered in 12 gauge with both 3.5-inch and 3-inch chamber options, and in 20 gauge with a 3-inch chamber. Pick your lane:

12 Gauge, 3.5-inch

When the geese are high and the wind is cutting, the 3.5-inch 12-gauge build gives you payload options that carry dense steel or bismuth farther. You’ll appreciate that reach when birds hang at the edge of the decoys and you need pattern authority to close the deal.

12 Gauge, 3-inch

If you want a balance of recoil, availability, and performance, 3-inch 12-gauge loads remain the workhorse of waterfowling. With the SXP’s back-bored barrel and quality chokes, you can tune your pattern for teal, mallards, and late-season divers without beating yourself up.

20 Gauge, 3-inch

For lighter carry, young shooters, or anyone who prioritizes quick handling, the 20 gauge option is a sleeper pick. Modern 3-inch 20-gauge waterfowl loads deliver clean hits inside ethical ranges, and the platform’s ergonomics make it easy to run quickly from the ready.

Recoil Management and Control

The Inflex Technology recoil pad directs impulse down and away from your cheek, helping you stay on the bead for faster follow-up shots. On cold mornings with layered clothing, that repeatable mount matters. The crossbolt safety is simple and positive, and the drop-out trigger group makes cleaning straightforward after a muddy day. Sling swivel studs are already in place, so you can throw it over a shoulder while you haul decoys and a dog bumper back to the truck.

Sight and Chokes: Fine-Tuned Pattern, Fast Acquisition

Waterfowl rarely give you a second chance, so sight picture and pattern matter. The TRUGLO fiber-optic front sight pops in low light without being distracting. Three Invector-Plus choke tubes ship with the shotgun—Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder—so you can set up for wide-open teal or tighten down for longer crossers. The Invector-Plus system is known for consistent constriction and even shot distribution, which pairs perfectly with the .742 back-bored barrel for efficient patterns.

Speed Where It Counts

Pump guns reward good mechanics. This one rewards them with speed. The rotary bolt locks up with authority, and the action cycles cleanly—even when conditions aren’t. The included three-shot adapter with speed-plug lets you comply with migratory bird regulations without fumbling with extra parts. When you’re loading on a dark boat ramp, that simplicity is gold.

Durability Features You Can Feel

Every contact point seems purpose-built: the textured synthetic forearm gives precise purchase for a smooth, straight pull; the receiver’s finish resists scratches and hard knocks; and the hard chrome in the chamber and bore shrugs off wet shells and grit. Maintenance stays simple thanks to the drop-out trigger group, so you can keep the internals clean and ready between hunts.

Price and Category Fit

At $409.99, this shotgun lands in that sweet spot where you’re not paying for a nameplate—you’re paying for features that actually show up in the blind. In the Pump Action category, it’s an easy recommendation for hunters who want a dependable tool with the right blend of modern materials and practical upgrades.

Low light can turn a clear plan into guesswork. Heat tells the truth, and a clean aiming solution closes the distance between intention and outcome. If your carbine spends nights on standby or your patrol rifle rides in the truck, you want a sight that sees the unseen and moves as fast as you do.

HOLOSUN DRSTH DRS Thermal Reflex steps into that role with a fusion approach: a true red dot paired with thermal imaging, giving you target acquisition that doesn’t blink when the lights go out, the fog rolls in, or the brush hides heat signatures.

View product details and pricing

What the DRS-TH Does Differently

Holosun built its reputation on reliable, duty-ready red dots. This optic takes that backbone and layers in thermal vision without turning the top of your rifle into a science project. You get an LED MRS (Multi-Reticle System) with two digital reticle options, so you can choose a clean point of aim or a more reference-heavy reticle depending on the environment and the mission. The thermal overlay runs on a crisp 1024×768 display at 50fps, giving you fluid motion and less smearing when you’re tracking movers or scanning a treeline.

Where it really shines is fusion. Run it as a red dot when daylight is your friend; bring in thermal modes when the sun drops or the backlight turns into silhouettes. No change in cheek weld, no rummaging for a secondary device. That’s the kind of simplicity that wins in the dark.

Thermal Modes That Matter

The unit carries five thermal image modes, each useful for a different problem set:

• White Hot: Classic and easy on the eyes for extended observation.
• Black Hot: Favored by many for defining contours and reducing glare.
• Highlight: Pops your target against a busy backdrop when clutter fights for your attention.
• Outline: Traces heat signatures so you can read shape and movement fast.
• Fusion: Blends thermal cues with your red dot view—ideal for complex environments.

Those options let you tailor the output to terrain and weather, whether you’re working open pasture, dense timber, or urban alleys. It’s not just “see heat”—it’s see it the way you need to act on it.

Glass, Speed, and Digital Control

A thermal optic lives or dies by refresh rate and usability. At 50fps on a 1024×768 screen, motion stays natural, and the reticle doesn’t lag behind your intent. The digital zoom (1x/3x/5x) gives you meaningful reach without losing context. Keep it at 1x for fast room-to-room work or bump to 3x/5x to read a distant posture before you commit. As with all magnification, use it to confirm, not to replace fundamentals.

The MRS lets you switch between two digital reticle options, so your sight picture stays consistent with your training. You can keep things minimal for snap shots or add reference for holds when distance and wind start to matter.

Recording the Truth

When accountability counts, the onboard digital image and video recording is worth its weight. Being able to document a thermal sight picture—without bolting on extra boxes or running external cables—pays dividends in training, reporting, and after-action review. On-board storage means you capture the moment and get back to work.

Power and Weather Resistance

HOLOSUN DRSTH DRS Thermal Reflex runs on a single 18350 rechargeable battery, a smart balance of size, output, and availability. Pack spares or a charging plan and you’re set for extended field time. The optic’s IP67 waterproof rating adds trust; rain, mud, and dust are part of the job, not showstoppers. If your rifle goes where you go, this sight is built to keep pace.

Mounting and Rifle Roles

Think of this as a force multiplier for carbines and PCCs that cross from daylight training into night watch. On a patrol rifle, fusion simplifies identification without dragging you into a heavy, complex thermal scope. On a ranch rifle, thermal modes help you sort coyotes from background clutter without lighting the whole field. For home defense, the red dot stays fast in the day while thermal stands ready when power goes out and shadows do what shadows do.

At 1x, the sight stays honest for both-eyes-open shooting. Add digital zoom when you need to read hands, posture, or movement at distance. The system stays intuitive even when your heart rate isn’t.

Brand Notes: Why Holosun

Holosun’s value proposition has always been rugged performance without boutique pricing. Here, they’ve pushed into thermal fusion while staying grounded: practical controls, familiar reticles, and a display that’s tuned for clarity and speed. You’re not paying for a science fair. You’re paying for capability you’ll actually use.

Price, Category, and Who It’s For

At $1,599.99, this sits in a sweet spot for shooters who need a legitimate thermal capability but don’t want the cost or weight of a full-size thermal scope. In the firearms category, it serves defensive carbines, duty rifles, and property protection roles where positive identification and rapid aim are non-negotiable. If you manage land, train at night, or simply want a sight that keeps its cool when visibility collapses, it earns its keep fast.

Training Perspective

Build a Repeatable Process

Run daylight reps first. Zero the red dot, confirm your reticle choice, then layer thermal modes at dusk. Practice transitions between White Hot and Black Hot; learn which one helps you read edges and movement in your terrain. Use Outline to detect shape in clutter, then test Fusion for complex backgrounds. Log your finds with onboard recording and review what your eyes missed.

Know Your Zoom Discipline

Digital zoom is a tool, not a crutch. Keep it at 1x for movement and situational awareness, spike to 3x/5x only to confirm. The best shot is the one you can actually make, right now, with the information you truly understand.

Durability and Field Care

IP67 waterproofing means weather is a footnote, not a plot twist. Keep lenses clean, manage the battery rotation, and store with a topped-off 18350 so your first night run doesn’t start with a dead screen. The compact footprint keeps balance on your rail, and the thermal core’s 50fps output holds steady under real movement—not just bench demos.

Why It Belongs on Your Rifle

Speed wins. PID matters. With a true red dot, thermal fusion modes, and clean digital control, the HOLOSUN DRSTH DRS Thermal Reflex turns the dark from a liability into workable terrain. You stay fast, you stay precise, and you make decisions with more information than the other side expects.

Gear that feeds reliably is gear you trust with your time, your training, and your peace of mind. In the world of compact defensive pistols, a magazine isn’t an accessory—it’s a lifeline. When the platform is a refined, scaled 1911-styled pistol, the magazine has to be as precise as the gun itself.

BROWNING 1911-380

Shop this product

Why this mag matters

Built for Browning’s compact 1911-380 pistols, this metal magazine carries 8 rounds and is designed to lock in, feed clean, and keep the gun’s balance where it should be—right under your sights. In the firearms category, small details decide whether training runs smooth or stalls. A sturdy, precisely formed metal body resists the bumps and scrapes of range days and daily carry, keeping geometry consistent so rounds present the same way, every time. That consistency is what you feel when the slide comes forward and the next shot breaks without drama.

Fit, function, and the Browning pedigree

Browning set the standard for practical design and reliable feeding long before most of us ever stepped onto a firing line. This magazine is built for various 1911-380 models, matching the platform’s dimensions and timing so the pistol runs the way the designers intended. OEM fit matters: the catch notch meets the release just right, the follower interfaces with the slide stop the way it should, and the stack height keeps that 8-round column stable under recoil.

Because it’s a purpose-built metal magazine, you get strong feed lips that hold shape. That means fewer variables in presentation angle and improved durability if the mag meets concrete during a reload. You’re not betting your training time on a guess—you’re running a component tuned for the pistol stamped on your slide.

Eight rounds, real-world pace

An 8-round capacity hits a sweet spot for the 1911-380’s compact frame. It gives you enough to work controlled pairs, failure-to-stop strings, and movement drills while keeping the grip slim and carry-friendly. You’ll feel the balance when the pistol returns to target with less disruption in your grip. And when you’re running multiple magazines, uniform capacity keeps your reload rhythm consistent—no surprises, no unnecessary pauses.

Carry and training synergy

Whether you’re dry practicing mag changes at home or burning down a live-fire standard, identical magazines reduce friction. Train the way you carry. If your defensive setup rides with an 8-round mag, build your reps with the same. It’s the small disciplines—seating pressure, index in the beltline, the snap of the base hitting home—that stack up into clean performance.

Durability you can feel

Metal magazines withstand the impacts and pressure of real use. The walls resist flex when packed tight in a range bag. Feed lips stay true after drops. The follower tracks clean, round after round. And because this mag is built for the 1911-380 footprint, it locks the slide reliably on empty—an overlooked benefit when you’re pushing tempo and confirming status by feel as much as sight.

Price, value, and the smart buy

At $30.59, you’re getting an OEM-style, metal-bodied magazine aligned with the pistol’s spec—an honest price for a critical component. Magazines are consumable in the long run, but starting with a precise build means you won’t be chasing issues that only appear when tolerances get sloppy. If you run the Browning platform, picking up dedicated spares is just smart logistics.

Category context: firearms essentials

In the firearms world, reliability is a chain—pistol, ammo, shooter, and magazine. Weak links cost time and confidence. This magazine sits in that chain as a known quantity for Browning’s 1911-380 family. If you’re building a defensive setup, lay out three to five of the same mags, number them, and track performance across training. Consistency isn’t flashy, but it’s how well-run shooters stay ahead of problems.

Practical setup tips

Standardize your loadout

Run the same make and capacity across your kit. Label each mag with a paint pen—01, 02, 03—so you can isolate one if you ever need to troubleshoot ammo or springs. Keep a rotation for training and a fresher pair for carry. That’s how professionals manage small parts that do big jobs.

Maintenance made simple

Good mags don’t need pampering, just routine care. Wipe down the exterior after range time. If you’ve trained in dust or rain, pop the baseplate, brush the internals, and reassemble. Light oil on the outside only; keep the inside dry so debris doesn’t collect. Metal feed lips should be inspected for bends—if one takes a hard edge, retire it to dry practice duty. Simple habits keep performance tight.

Who will appreciate this mag most

• Owners of Browning 1911-380 pistols needing reliable, metal 8-round spares
• Concealed carriers who prefer slim, consistent-feeding mags
• Range regulars who run structured practice and value OEM-compatible geometry
• Collectors who keep factory-spec components with the platform

What you get at a glance

• Metal construction built for durability and consistent feed geometry
• 8-round capacity tuned to the 1911-380’s compact frame
• Purpose-built fit for Browning 1911-380 models
• Firearms category essential—easy upgrade for reliability and training flow
• Fair price point at $30.59 for a critical component

Strong gear is quiet and dependable. This magazine reflects that mindset—simple, solid, and purpose-driven. If your training is deliberate and your carry routine is disciplined, matching your pistol with a dedicated 8-round metal magazine is the kind of decision that pays off every time you hit the range.

Precision doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built, piece by piece, with gear that’s engineered to lock your optic in alignment and hold zero when the world starts moving fast. Whether you’re zeroing at dawn or threading hits in shifting wind, your scope rings are the quiet guardians of every trigger press.

That’s why I run the Steiner T-Series Scope Rings when I need a 34mm mount I can trust. Designed as the foundation of a precision shooting system, these rings are purpose-built to guarantee precise optical alignment and deliver shot-after-shot accuracy for tactical work and long-range problem solving.

Shop this product

Why 34mm rings matter for serious shooters

Modern precision optics with 34mm main tubes bring generous elevation travel and robust internals. If you’re running a 34mm scope on a precision gas gun or a bolt rifle, these rings are your interface—any misalignment translates into wandering zeros, odd elevation curves, and inconsistent groups. The Steiner T-Series Scope Rings are engineered to prevent that, keeping your optic centered and your shot calls honest.

Engineered for precise optical alignment

Good rings do more than just clamp a scope—they align it. Steiner’s design focuses on true optical alignment so your erector system isn’t fighting cant or stress. That means smooth tracking when you dial, consistent return to zero, and reduced risk of scope damage from uneven pressure. When I set these on a properly leveled rail, the optic sits down without drama and stays exactly where I put it.

Shot-after-shot accuracy under real recoil

The promise here is simple: shot-after-shot accuracy for precision tactical shooting. That’s stability under recoil, temperature swings, and time. You’ll feel it when you torque the caps—clean engagement, no gritty wander. You’ll see it when your cold-bore shot lines up with yesterday’s dope. If your rifle lives in the world of positional shooting, barricade work, and improvised rests, that repeatability pays the bills.

Medium height that plays well with real setups

This set is a medium height tailored to 34mm scopes, a sweet spot for many rifles with standard rails and objective sizes. Medium height gives you good cheek weld and clears common scope bells and lens caps without forcing you into an awkward head position. For most precision ARs and chassis rifles, this height keeps your eye line consistent and your body mechanics clean.

Tactical focus without fluff

Everything about the T-Series approach is purposeful: mount the optic, lock alignment, and keep it secure. No gimmicks, no surprises—just a riflescope mounting solution that works when it counts. If your world includes duty-grade optics, night shoots, and tight timelines, reliability isn’t a luxury. It’s the standard.

Brand pedigree: Steiner

Steiner has long been a known quantity in professional circles for glass and mounting solutions that hold up under field conditions. The T-Series line sits in that heritage—built to integrate with modern precision optics and deliver predictable results. If you’ve run Steiner gear before, you know the mindset: build it right, then test it harder than the end user will.

Where this set fits in your kit

Ideal platforms

– Precision gas guns in 6.5 and .308 families where 34mm optics are common

– Bolt guns in chassis or traditional stocks that need a low-profile, robust ring set

– Training and match rifles where repeated removal and reinstallation demand consistent return to zero

Use cases

– Tactical drills that force fast transitions between close and far targets

– Long-range sessions where tracking and elevation integrity are non-negotiable

– Field days where you can’t afford to re-zero because something shifted in transit

Installation notes from the field

Mounting is where many shooters lose accuracy. A few practical tips:

– Start with a degreased rail and ring hardware. Light oil only where the manufacturer recommends.

– Level the rifle, then the scope. Use a plumb line or a reliable leveling tool to minimize cant.

– Torque to spec with a calibrated wrench. Even, alternating pattern on cap screws prevents stress.

– Confirm eye relief in your most common shooting position, not just off a bench. Your neck will thank you later.

Steiner’s emphasis on alignment reduces the need for corrective steps, which saves time and keeps your optic internals happy.

Price and category details

At $199.99, these rings slot into the professional tier without straying into boutique territory. They sit in the Scope Rings category for a reason—straightforward, mission-focused mounting gear built for precision tactical shooting. Model variations exist across the T-Series line, but this set is the 34mm medium height many shooters look for when building a versatile rifle.

If you’re setting up a new optic or overhauling a duty rifle, this is a smart anchor point for the build. You can move fast when you trust your mount. View product details and pricing to confirm fit with your optic and rail.

Performance you can measure

Here’s what you should notice once these are on the gun:

– Your zero holds after transport, recoil cycles, and weather changes.

– Tracking checks clean—dial up, dial down, and return to zero without wandering impacts.

– Your scope body shows no signs of binding or stress, even after extended use.

That’s the whole point of a mount you can forget about. Set it right, and let your fundamentals do the work.

Who should choose Steiner T-Series Scope Rings

– Shooters who run 34mm optics and demand reliable alignment without extra fuss

– Lawful hunters and competitors balancing field durability with match precision

– Professionals who need a mount that delivers every day, not just on the range

Final setup check

Before you call it good, confirm rail integrity, eye relief under recoil, and slight negative cant avoidance with a trusted level. Then paint-mark your screws so you can visually verify nothing has moved after range days. It’s a small habit that safeguards your data.

If you’re ready to anchor your optic with a purpose-built 34mm solution, the Steiner T-Series Scope Rings deliver the precise optical alignment and shot-after-shot accuracy you need for tactical work. The price point is right, the design is honest, and the performance speaks when it’s time to perform. Check current availability and lock in your setup today.

There’s a certain calm that comes from running a simple, dependable shotgun. Fewer moving parts. Clear purpose. Deliberate action. When you’re behind a break-action that locks up tight and points like it was built for your hands alone, every shot becomes intentional. That’s why I keep coming back to single shots when precision matters and distractions don’t. They make you slow down and do it right.

HENRY SINGLE SHOT SHOTGUN

Why this single shot stands out

Henry builds firearms with an honesty that’s hard to ignore, and this one is a prime example. You’re looking at a 20-gauge break-action with a 26-inch round blued steel barrel, a brass bead front sight paired with an adjustable folding leaf rear, and an American walnut stock that balances classic lines with practical ergonomics. It tips the scales at 6.80 pounds and stretches to 41.5 inches overall—long enough to swing smoothly, light enough to carry all day.

Here’s the choice that makes it personal: frame options. Go with matte-finished steel if you prefer a rugged, duty-forward look and a curved pistol grip capped with a recoil-absorbing rubber pad. Or pick polished hardened brass if you appreciate heirloom aesthetics; that variant comes with a straight English wrist and a brass buttplate. Both configurations deliver the same crisp break action and consistent lockup that build trust shot after shot.

20 gauge done right

Caliber matters. The 20GA chambering keeps recoil civilized without giving up the payload you need for upland birds, small game, or range work. For new shooters, that gentler push means better fundamentals and faster learning. For experienced hands, it’s a clean, efficient way to make hits without fatigue. With a single shot, the 20 gauge becomes a teacher—focus on sight picture, mount, and follow-through. The result: fewer wasted shells and better performance where it counts.

Purpose-built for control and confidence

Barrel, balance, and sights

The 26-inch blued steel barrel brings the right blend of velocity and swing. The brass bead front sight is fast to pick up, and the adjustable folding leaf rear lets you dial in for specific loads or your preferred point of impact. It’s a traditional sight picture that rewards proper mount and cheek weld—nothing flashy, just effective.

Stock options that fit the mission

Steel-frame variant: curved pistol grip and rubber recoil pad for a confident purchase and softer shoulder impact. Brass-frame variant: straight English wrist and brass buttplate for timeless handling and clean mounting. Both stocks are American walnut, cut to look good and hold up in the field.

Fit, finish, and the Henry factor

Henry has earned its reputation by blending old-world craftsmanship with practical design. The polished brass frame variant looks like it belongs in a family collection, yet it’s built to be used. The matte steel version leans utilitarian, built for weather and work. Either way, you get a receiver that locks up tight, a trigger that rewards discipline, and furniture that will age well with honest use.

Price and value

At $548.99, you’re investing in a purpose-built Single Shot that’s more than a range toy. It’s a training tool, a field companion, and a timeless piece of American walnut and steel (or brass) that will still be relevant decades from now. Simplicity doesn’t go out of style—especially when it’s executed this well.

Carry like a professional, hunt like a traditionalist

Final checks before you buy

– Decide on frame: steel for rubber recoil pad and pistol grip; brass for straight English wrist and classic brass buttplate.

– Confirm balance and fit preferences: at 6.80 lbs with a 26-inch tube, it’s built for smooth, controlled swings.

– 20GA ammo selection: lighter recoil for training days, heavier loads when the season demands it.
