Courtesy of Tactical Life It might be hard to keep up with all the ARs on the market, even the big bores — you know, the 7.62mm NATO/.308 Winchester beasts. Daniel Defense was late to that particular arena, but the DD5V1 was certainly worth the wait. To piggyback that, its new sibling — the DD5V2 […]
The Russian AK-12 assault rifle is ready to become the new standard weapon of the Russian armed forces, has passed military field tests and now meets all of the Russian armed forces’ design and operational standards, according to Jane’s 360. The AK-12’s success in military trials sets it up to become the standard weapon for […]

The Ruger Precision Rifle is a very accurate and affordable rifle right out of the box. Advertising sub minute of angle accuracy from the factory cold hammer-forged 4140 chrome-moly steel barrel. Having shot almost 1000 rounds through the trusty steel barrel, I can concur with Rugers accuracy claims. Attending several long range shooting classes at […]
