POTD: Swedish Home Guard Demonstrates Automatkarbin 24 (Sako)
Photo Of The Day is the best online place to view the coolest images of firearms and soldiers. With the recent development in terms of national security in Sweden, and around Europe, one of the Generals said that Sweden and the Swedish Armed Forces must have a "forward-leaning mandate of violence". I think the image above portrays that pretty well, with the new and upcoming Automatkarbin 24, made by Sako in Finland.
The Rimfire Report: CCI Suppressor 45 Grain - Heavy & Quiet
Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and all of its different types of guns, history, shooting sports, and ammo! Last time we took a look at the relatively inexpensive CCI “Green Tag” 40-grain ammo. Billed as a more affordable alternative to genuine match ammo - CCI Green Tag is produced via a hand-picked process where particularly good lots of CCI Standard Velocity 40 grain are separated for their consistency which in turn typically leads to smaller group sizes. As with any rimfire ammo - whether or not one particular lot of ammo is going to group well out of your specific rifle is another matter entirely and probably the reason many of you commented that while the appeal of CCI Green Tag is there, CCI Standard does it better for the price that it is being asked for. I would tend to agree with that assessment of my level of skill and the type of shooting that I do.
