Sako 85 Review

The Sako Varmint Laminated Stainless is made with medium- to long-range hunters in mind, as well as maybe target shooters who are looking for proven and consistent accuracy. It did not disappoint.

Browning A-Bolt Review

My very first rifle was a little .22 Browning SA automatic, similar to the one used in fairgrounds in those far-off days. I must have put thousands of rounds through it, and it served me well for years.

Ruger Hawkeye Review

As soon as the Hawkeye was removed from its packaging, I handed it over to my fellow fox shooting colleague and experienced rifleman Darren, to see what his first impressions were – it is always good to have an alternative view.

ANSCHÜTZ 1770 Review

I have to declare a personal interest here: I am an unashamed fan of pretty much every one of the bolt-action rifles Anschütz has produced in the last 60 years.
