Ruger LC Carbine .45 ACP Rifle Review: Recharged

1 month ago | rifleshootermag.com | Brad Fitzpatrick

Affiliate Disclosure: This page contains affiliate links. We earn from qualifying purchases. The original LC (Lightweight Compact) Carbine from Ruger was chambered in 5.7x28, and that gun offered such an appealing, shooter-friendly design that it should come as little wonder that Ruger expanded the LC family. I’m not sure anyone outside the company expected the second version of this blowback-operated autoloading carbine to be chambered in .45 ACP, though.

Rock River Arms announced its move into the bolt-action rifle world at the 2024 SHOT show. Long a potent force in the AR-15 and AR-10 semiautomatic market, Rock River earned its reputation by building super-accurate rifles and best-value National Match two-stage trigger groups for ARs.The new XM24 bolt action carries on the accuracy legacy. The .308 Win. version sent to RifleShooter for testing shot absurdly well. The XM24 is fed by a detachable box magazine.
How to Travel with a Suppressor

2 months ago | rifleshootermag.com | Brad Fitzpatrick

A higher percentage of shooters own suppressors than ever before, and that’s a good thing. Suppressors—or silencers or cans, if you prefer—are fantastic tools for hunters and shooters because they cut down on recoil and muzzle blast, the primary catalysts for developing a flinch. It’s more fun to shoot suppressed, and most shooters find that their accuracy improves with a can in place. Last but not least, they’re quieter to your neighbors at the range and fellow hunters in the field.

Celebrating 100 Years with the .270 Winchester

Jan 2, 2025 | rifleshootermag.com | Logan Metesh

Maintaining relevance for 100 years is no small feat, but the .270 Winchester cartridge has done just that. Introduced alongside Winchester’s Model 54 bolt-action rifle in 1925, the company was hoping to combine the two new products and cash in on a re-emerging boom among bolt-action rifle owners. Much of the market’s movement at that time was due to the post-World War I landscape and the many veterans who were right at home with bolt-action rifles in their hands.
Wildcat .22 Caliber Centerfire Cartridges: Obscure and a Blur - RifleShooter

Dec 30, 2024 | rifleshootermag.com | Stan Trzoniec

If you’re familiar with the golden age of cartridge developments, it doesn’t take long to notice that for, the most part, the .22 caliber was an important cartridge of choice. Good rifles were starting to appear, there was an upsurge in varmint hunting, and on top of all this, powders and bullets were making great headway. Defining the pace for all this, men like Harvey Donaldson, A.E. Mashburn, Lysle Kilbourn and Roy Weatherby set the tone for small game cartridges here in the United States.
Taurus Expedition Rifle: Review and Ultimate Discovery

Dec 25, 2024 | rifleshootermag.com | Frank Melloni

Nothing generates a buzz like a manufacturer working outside its realm and creating a product that not only shows it’s capable at something new but is pretty darn good, too. When Taurus introduced its Expedition hunting rifle at SHOT Show, I walked briskly to the booth to check it out. Not sure what to expect, I was not only delighted but impressed with what the company had put together. The design was fresh, smooth and, above all, handy.
The Right Bullet For Your Hunting Needs: Part 1 (Bonded)

Dec 24, 2024 | rifleshootermag.com | Rodger Holscher

In the past several years, the hunting space has seen a surge in new bullets. I remember when I first started rifle hunting, it seemed like my choices for bullets in factory ammo were Remington Cor-Lokt, Nosler Partition, Winchester Power-Point or Hornady Interlock. While they got the job done at the time, the way people hunt (the way I hunt) has evolved. The long-range shooting/hunting game led to an advancement in bullet technology that we are all benefiting from.
