I Love the .218 Bee and one of the guns I have long lusted after is a Winchester Model 43. One of the boys in the pre 64 Winchester collector groups posted the image above, and it got me thinking about it again.

Non-traditional Unertl Mounting
One of the guys in the Unertl group really wanted to mount his Unertl to a little rimfire sporter. God and he only knows why.. Sometimes we get.. ideas..

Custom Colt Trooper
Some friends came in over the weekend to shoot and one of them brought in this revolver that belongs to his Grandfather. A worked over and slightly customized Colt Trooper in .357 Mag. He carried it in his career as a police Detective in Louisville, Ky. The grips feel the hand very well. It wasContinue reading “Custom Colt Trooper”

The Remington XR100
The Remington XR100 was trotted out a few years ago after big green saw that the .204 ruger was a hit. The guns heart is actually the old XP100 piston action. A scaled down bolt gun action in a bolt action pistol chambering the .221 fireball. Which the fireball is a wonderful round for varmintContinue reading “The Remington XR100”
