Courtesy of our friends over at Tactical Life Get ready for the return of the battle rifle. Temporarily, that is.

RELATED STORY: 12 Next-Gen Precision Rifles For Long-Range Shooting Designed for the serious hunter and target shooter, the Model 48 Long Range’s action is machined from a solid block of steel and built to provide a […]
(Article courtesy of Tactical Life) There are a lot of ARs on the market right now, but they are far from equal, and it is always a pleasure to find one done right. Black Dawn‘s new BDR-556-3GLW, a lightweight AR built for 3-Gun matches, certainly qualifies as a high-quality, purpose-built rifle that delivers the goods without breaking […]
