Henry 45-70 Lever Action Rifle
The lever action rifle is a part of America. It helped tame the west and was a brilliant design in its own right when it was first produced. I personally was taught to shoot on a Marlin golden Mountie in .22 LR as a child. There are several manufacturers in the USA who produce a […]

CMMG Banshee | .300 BLK Lead-slinger
As CMMG passes 16 years in the firearms industry, it’s clear that their company has seen its share of ups and downs in the market. Between the panic buying days of 2008 to the easy-going “salad days” of 2018, much has changed. So too the company has changed over the years, but only for the […]
A Video Breakdown of the Honey Badger by Q
The Honey Badger is one of those few firearms that ascends above popular status and (for many) attains that highest level: iconic.

The CMMG Anvil | The God of War
Hmm, man I never thought an AR would really excite me. AR 15s are great rifles, but let’s face it, are AR 15s truly exciting? I love them, and I have the collection of rifles, uppers, magazines, and even 80 percent lower jigs and 80 lower builds to prove it. They excite as much as […]

Ranger Proof Rifle | Enhanced ELC Range Testing
Recently, I received a call from Graham Baates of GBGuns.org and YouTube fame (or infamy). He is also a contributor within the Hurricane Group Inc. family of websites, of which Loadout Room is a part.
