Keystone 722 Varmint first shots

Posted on May 13, 2016 by Oleg Volk

This rifle is incredible. At 25 yards, all shots with CCI Green Tag or Aguila match land on top of each other with minimal effort on my part. I did upgrade the scope to get adjustable parallax at 25. Typically, … Continue reading →

Does headache medicine cause headaches?

Posted on October 15, 2015 by Oleg Volk

Let’s discuss semantics. Do we take headache medicine to cause headaches or to cure them? Are deer rifles used by deer or for hunting them? The English language doesn’t work quite the same way as German, which is why the … Continue reading →

What I like about the upcoming Keltec RDB

Posted on October 20, 2014 by Oleg Volk

Bottom ejection is left and right hand compatible. Felt recoil is extremely low without a compensator — which makes me really wonder about the concussive muzzle brake installed on this demo gun. Great trigger, reversible charging handle, excellent accuracy. 1-6x … Continue reading →
