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 […]

I first fired one of the new Thompson Center Compass rifles at a pre-release event and was immediately hooked, so I talked the editors here at GunsAmerica into publishing a full review. Why?

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 […]
