    Mostly Long Guns

    The 7mm Remington Magnum
    column by: Brian Pearce

    The 7mm Remington Magnum was formally introduced in 1962 along with the new Remington Model 700 rifle. Despite company executives being nervous about whether their new product would be well-received, both the rifle and cartridge became popular among hunters, target shooters and riflemen. Many new 7mm caliber cartridges have been in the spotlight over the past couple of decades. Several of those had notable issues and have mostly faded away, though others are very good cartridges with merit. Regardless, the original Remington cartridge remains a worthy choice for hunters and sportsmen, and it remains hugely popular. ...Read More >

     

    Fouling Shots

    5.56 of 1895 Redux and a Few Krag Factoids
    column by: Art Merrill

    In a previous issue of Rifle magazine (No. 340, May 2025), I reported on the U.S. Army’s first experiment 130 years ago with a 5.56 cartridge - the “0.22 Inch Caliber Cartridge for Experimental Arm” mounting a .223-inch bullet on a totally proprietary rimmed case to be launched from a re-barreled Krag rifle at an intended 2,600 feet per second (fps). Frankford Arsenal made up only 250 cartridges, and the results of the experiment evaporated into history. A Rifle reader in Michigan subsequently sent me an email describing his own experiments in recreating this lost cartridge, which he has dubbed the “.22 Gov’t 1895 MK II.” ...Read More >

     

    Light Gunsmithing

    The Siamese Mauser Action
    column by: Gil Sengel

    Not everyone has succumbed to the Modern Sporting Rifle (MSR) craze. This was proven one day by a knock on the shop door. It was an old friend who collected all forms of British and European bolt-action sporters and had the resources to afford them. He was obviously very happy. ...Read More >

     

    A Rifleman's Optics

    German Precision Optics Centuri 4-16x 44i SC Riflescope
    column by: Patrick Meitin

    German Precision Optics (GPO) is an American-based company that sells both German-engineered and designed optics made from German-manufactured parts. These are assembled in major offshore facilities and then returned to Germany for rigorous quality inspection. The result is top-quality German glass and mechanical systems at a working man’s price. I have had the opportunity to test several GPO scopes in the past, all retailing for less than $1,000, but with optical quality and features comparable to much more expensive riflescopes. GPO also has a knack for offering scope configurations often missing from other brands, filling voids that appeal to serious shooters. These designs are the brainchild of GPO owner and CEO Mike Jensen, an avid big-game hunter himself. ...Read More >
