Reader Comments of the Week
“I have the “deluxe” with the walnut stock. My major upgrades over the 20-years or so that I have owned it are the BX trigger and an EGW Picatinney Rail scope mount. It shot really well out of the box, but the trigger definitely helps. I use the EGW mount on a lot of rifles and pistols (particularly Thompson Center Contenders and Encores) and really like it.”
– CHARLES, in response to 12 Ruger 10/22 Upgrades to Consider
“My Sig P365XL came with, what appears to be, these sights. Three dot Tritium with a BIG green halo around the front dot. I absolutely love them. Great sight picture day or night. I’ve been shooting a variety of guns for several decades and these are my favorite sights to date.”
– ROB, in response to XS Sights Overview
“All of this Ammo sounds great but, I hope everyone thinks about OVER PENETRATION!! Some of these loads penetrate up to 20 inches in a lot of cases that will go through the human body. Make sure you account for all of your shots and know what’s behind the person your shooting at..”
