*Photo courtesy of Tactical Life For anyone not familiar, DRD Tactical‘s .338 Lapua Magnum Kivaari—which means “rifle” in Finnish—was designed around the company’s AR-based takedown system, but it encompasses significantly more research and development than the company’s CDR-15 and Paratus models for which DRD Tactical has become famous. The Kivaari uses the same patented takedown method […]

Upgrading the Ruger Precision Rifle
Previously I wrote an article about the Ruger Precision Rifle. In this video, I will show you a few minor upgrades that I’ve elected to do to suit my personal taste. The nice thing about this modular weapon system is that it’s loosely based on an AR-15 allowing you to use items that would normally […]
6.5 Sniper: Shooting the H-S Precision HTR in 6.5 Creedmoor
Courtesy of Tactical Life It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of the 6.5 Creedmoor. Over the past few years, I’ve spent some serious quality time behind rifles chambered for this long-range cartridge. There are so many things to like about the 6.5 Creedmoor that it is a wonder it has not caught on […]
Gunwerks HAMR | Extreme Long Range Shooting System
Bigger isn’t always better, but for the times when it is, reach for the HAMR. Chambered in 375 Cheytac, the Gunwerks HAMR is the next step in the evolution of extreme long range. The new Gunwerks HAMR launches a 377gr projectile with an incredible .950 G1 ballistic coefficient at nearly 3,000fps. With these phenomenal ballistics, […]
Days Of Guns: A Navy SEALs CZ-550 Sniper Rifle
The CZ (Ceska zbrojovka “Czech Armory”) 550 is a solid rifle I’ll give it that for sure. It is what I’d describe as a middle of the road “utility” gun. In the SEAL Teams a “utility” weapon was one that you could use for multiple purposes (close quarter battle or sniper ops). Mine came chambered […]
M762: DRD Tactical’s Stow-N-Go Rifle In 6.5 Creedmoor
(Article originally published on Tactical Life) It has been my pleasure to test a few DRD Tactical rifles over the past few years. It’s a great company to work with, as the owner, Skip Patel, prides himself on timely delivery of proven products, not just promises. Even during the last AR shortage, he was able […]
Is the Quad Rail Obsolete?
Is the quad rail obsolete? The answer to that question is a resounding YES. In the not so recent past the rise of quad rail systems was stunning to see. It seemed like every week a new manufacturer was coming out with a new length rail system or a new fastening system to make their […]
Rifle Rear Bag!
For those who are into the precision rifle community, we all know the importance of a rifle rear bag. Not only are they great for positional support, but they are a shooters necessity in the prone position. The added support and being able to elevate the rifle ever-so slightly without adjusting the bi pod legs is key. I recently came […]
Two Things Wrong with Modern Sniper Rifles
This photo really says it all for me. It’s not meant to pick on LaRue Tactical, I hear they make fine guns although I’ve never shot one. So what’s wrong with the sniper rifle of today? What’s plaguing an industry of copy cats and me too AR platforms? They are way too heavy and too […]
