I wanted to test three threaded-muzzle bolt actions in a reference chambering well known to hunters and shooters, the .308 Winchester, along with a less-common bolt-action choice, the .300 AAC Blackout. The latter is more often chambered in AR-15 uppers because it has the same overall length, base diameter, and rim diameter as the 5.56 NATO round. It will feed ...

The only thing more American than the 1911 might be our insatiable desire for “more.” If you ask a purist, they’ll say that the only way to improve the design is to add capacity. Now, it might have taken another 100 years to get there, but it’s safe to say we satisfied that crowd with the 2011, and thanks to ...
