While the Beretta ARX-100 qualifies as a Modern Sporting Rifle, it most certainly is not a member of the AR-15 family in any way, shape, or form. Yes, it shoots the same ammo, and uses AR-15 compatible magazines, but everything else is much, much different. You can think of the ARX-100 rifle as the Lego […]

Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5mm Creedmoor, an up Close Look
My overall impression of the Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5mm Creedmoor is simple. It’s a lot of gun for the price considering what’s in this build and how it shoots, that seems like a deal to me. While AR-15 and AR-10 platform rifles are getting more accurate by the month, it’s still hard to beat […]

Windham Weaponry’s Big Boy AR-10 – Full Review
While media fairies prone to hysterical reactions tend to place the AR-15 in the same death and destruction category as plutonium bombs, Zika Virus, and John Travolta’s singing in the movie Grease, it’s really just the little brother of another popular rifle design – the AR-10. How much littler? Ballistically speaking, you can compare the […]
First Look at the Springfield Armory SAINT AR-15 Rifle
One way to test out a new gun might be to run it through the world-famous Popper Palooza course of fire. What’s that, you ask? Picture this. You’re standing at a table with four fully loaded AR-15 magazines in front of you. That’s 120 rounds of ammo at your disposal just asking to be burned. […]

Review: Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 Performance Center Rifle
“Breathtaking. I shall call him… Mini-Me.” Dr. Evil, The Spy Who Shagged Me While the dimensions of the Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 Performance Center rifle are not ⅛ the size of a “real” AR-15 type rifle, you can think of this gun as a “Mini-me” to a 5.56mm / .223 Remington AR-15, at least in […]
