We discuss the history and present state of .22 LR before hitting the range with three great rimfire rifle models.Some 40-plus years ago, my first rifle (a Winchester Model 67) was a single-shot .22. I’d bet the same goes for many folks reading this. You loaded a single round, closed the bolt, then cocked it by pulling back a spring-loaded knob at the rear of the receiver.

As the EV marketplace has grown crowded with electrified scooters, bikes, and skateboards, OneWheel has earned — and maintained — a loyal following. And that’s despite ongoing controversy over the relative safety of these devices. After four people reportedly died while riding them, the company was forced by federal regulators last year to recall every unit in the market (that’s more than 300,000). This is the context in which OneWheel has dropped the Pint S, an updated…

They’d not only won the title of Adventure Racing World Champions, but they’d also dethroned the two-time title holders, the Swedish Armed…

Rock Island Armory has just launched three new versions of its 9mm STK series of striker-fired pistols with aluminum frames. The new Rock Island Armory STK series consists of the STK 100, STK 150 and the STK 200 pistols.

STK series frames also count on an extended beavertail for added comfort and shooting enhancement, especially to protect against…

His designs also showcase an interest visual balance, where both the…
