Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and its many different types of guns, gear, and ammo! Last week we talked about one of Federal Ammunition’s most popular hunting cartridges. The 38-grain copper plated hollow point is a fairly decent budget rimfire pest control round. When it came to my testing, I found it to have acceptable accuracy at 50 yards for small game applications, and it had a decent standard deviation in the velocity department of about 17 fps. This week we’re moving on to one of CCI’s more obscure 22LR loadings - Quiet-22 40-grain Segmented Hollow Point ammunition. Another round designed for small game hunting and pest control duty, CCI Quiet-22 takes the opposite approach to the 38-grain Federal CPHP and goes well below the subsonic threshold - but how does this approach translate to accuracy and consistency out of our B14R test platform? Let's find out in this next ammo test!

The firearms industry is always chasing the Next Big Trend, and right now, the trend in the hunting rifle world is to chase weight loss. We’ve seen lots of ultralight bolt-action rifles built for expeditions high into the mountains. Now, we have the new ADM UIC-10A Carbon Hunter as another take on the formula, with an AR-10 action mated to an ultralight carbon fiber-wrapped barrel.

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 94! We’re back with more deals on guns, gear, ammunition, and accessories from some of our most frequented online retailers like Primary Arms, Natchez Shooters Supply, Palmetto State Armory, Brownells, and more.

Welcome everyone to the  TFB Armorer’s Bench! As mentioned in the little blurb below, this series will focus on a lot of home armorer and gunsmith activities. I saw some interest in a Colt 1877 disassembly article. This is fun because it may come off as your average Colt 1873 (peacemaker) but the insides are completely different and this is to its detriment, unfortunately. Double action is great but the design leaves a lot to be desired in terms of simplicity. Would I take one apart if I did not have the experience that I have? No. Are there many resources for taking one apart? No, not much. Besides the interest that is why I am doing this. Hopefully, it will be of some help. Let’s dive right into this Colt 1877 disassembly article!

Good evening everyone and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the brand new YHM 338 Bad Larry Suppressor. Last week we discussed our NFA Grail Guns - suppressors and hosts that you would trade almost anything to obtain. This week we take a look at suppressed pistol holsters and some options if you plan on walking quietly while carrying a big stick. Let’s take a look.

This past winter I found myself rewatching many of the westerns that Netflix had on rotation. Movies including “High Plains Drifter” “3:10 to Yuma” and “The Power of the Dog” and these films really had me wanting a six-shooter of my own to play around with at the range some day. I reached out to Cimarron Firearms and asked if they would be willing to send me a review copy of their 1875 Outlaw in .357 and they were more than happy to send one my way.

Welcome to another   Photo Of The Day! Today's images are a bit odd. Above you see U.S. Marine Corps 1st Sgt. Detren Tate, the company first sergeant of Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment (Reinforced), Marine Rotational Force – Darwin 24.3, as he simulates attacking an enemy during a bayonet assault course as a part of the True Grit obstacle course at Combat Training Centre, Tully, QLD, Australia, in June 2024.

Here's FN America and True Velocity's announcement in full:

The Civilian Marksmanship Program is looking to build a massive shooting range in Payson, Utah. Public records about the plan were posted on the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) website, revealing the first firm details about the proposed facility. At almost 600 acres, it would be a major national-level range.

Taurus might be best known for its pistols, but it’s putting lots of effort into its rifle lineup as well these days. Case in point: They’re now selling their first bolt-action rifle in the U.S. market, the all-new Taurus Expedition.

Headed to the range? Or to the duck blind or the deer stand? The new Field and Range gun cases from Federal Ammunition will keep your rifle or shotgun safe and protected while you’re on your way.

Spotting scopes are really handy tools for a variety of shooting disciplines. Whether you’re carrying one along for better target identification, or just trying to get a read on where your shots are going on long-distance targets, spotting scopes can help you and a friend fill in the missing important visual data for the next shot. Maven Optics makes their optics all over the world, including the United States. Their S series of optics including the Maven S.3 that we’re talking about today are assembled in San Diego, California from Japanese components and then shipped to the company’s headquarters in Lander, Wyoming for their final quality control inspection. What makes them a more budget-friendly brand is their “direct to consumer” business model which cuts out the retailer and therefore a significant portion of the added costs of sales. Today we’ll be checking out what I think is one of the more flexible options in the Maven spotting scope lineup - the Maven S.3A interchangeable lens spotting scope.

Photo Of The Day - Life without the Internet, how would it be? How would you make it? Well, you certainly wouldn't be looking at these images from the Gulf of Guniea and the Italian Marines as they move in formation with their Berettas during a visit, board, search, and seizure training exercise aboard the Lewis B. Puller-class Expeditionary Sea Base USS Hershel “Woody” Williams (ESB 4).'

Welcome back to another edition of Concealed Carry Corner. Last week, we talked about the good and bad aspects of Constitutional Carry. If you happened to miss that article, be sure to click the link here to check it out. This week, I wanted to talk about a real-life problem many of us run into when it comes to carrying over a long period of time. Whether you are injured or just find yourself in an odd situation, it can be tricky to have a good carry setup if something happens. Sometimes the best course of action is to learn how to shoot with both hands in order to be proficient. Some may not understand why it's important but there are a number of benefits to learning how to shoot offhand. Let's take a closer look at shooting with your offhand.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police might not actually use horses that often, but they do keep a few around for ceremonial purposes (and also stomping the odd protester here and there). Another tradition the Mounties keep around is the Connaught Cup—and they’ve got a new winner for 2024. Corporal Pascal Boudreau from H Division (Nova Scotia) is the latest winner of the award for top shooter.
