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. GB had received a rifle from Ranger Proof Arms, the Enhanced ELC (Entry Level Carbine) and thought it fitting that a Ranger should take part in the testing of something termed […]

Ammunition: Is bullet weight or bullet quality more important?
In the never-ending search for slightly more accuracy we’ve all heard that X brand is better than Y brand, or to only use X-weight bullets with Y twist rate. I had always believed that until a recent test with the Ranger Proof rifle when we saw great accuracy with projectiles that traditional logic would argue […]
Ranger Proof Swag’s EDGE Trigger Follow-Up
In follow-up to an earlier post we wanted to both finish the story, and provide a correction. The EDGE trigger shoe is made and sold by Ranger Proof Swag which is not the same company as the premium-rifle-builder Ranger Proof. The companies have a loose affiliation, but are independent of one-another. Both Ranger Proof and […]
Ranger Proof Rifle Testing UPDATE ~ Video
Accuracy testing is always a tough one to believe. It seems that everyone gets different results, and that’s with good reason. If you read our earlier piece about accuracy testing you’d know that there are so many variables that it can be very difficult to be fair.

The available mix of after-market and factory parts is bewildering and offers more choice than […]

Hop Up Your Glock: Ranger Proof EDGE Trigger Shoe
Ranger Proof is a bold statement. It’s even more bold to name a company Ranger Proof. The company has set some high standards for itself as one should expect with such a name, “Our mission is simple. We will provide the absolute best gear, made with the best components at the most fair price we […]
Rex Nanorum’s 2018 SHOT show review
2017’s SHOT show was my first time at the famed and prestigious event. It was overwhelming, exhausting and awesome all at the same time. On my return trip, I felt I could easily knock out the dozens of appointments and contact meet-ups I had planned in a little over two days. While the show itself […]
