Photos by Kevin DiOssi and Steven Kuo The helicopter is flying low, its blades cutting through the Carolina air at 60 knots. I’m upright and facing outboard, feet on the skids, a safety strap clipped to my back. The terrain looks so different from up here, the once-hidden textures of the land revealed from this vantage. I see the targets as we turn, floating circles placed in a pond and some beach balls for good measure. The Maxim Defense SDX RFLX rifle, so light in my hands when I was on the ground, now feels more like a rudder fighting…
Check out the 6.5 Grendel, a look-alike cousin to the 6.5 PPC but with a different skill set.The 6.5 Grendel cartridge underwent three years of development before Bill Alexander (Alexander Arms) released it in 2003 as a “long-range” cartridge specifically intended for the AR-15 family of rifles and carbines.

Editor’s Note: The author was provided the product for this article by Vortex Optics and Silencer Central, and creates content for both companies. The rifle was provided by Springfield Armory.

The author settles in behind a rig he has carried on elk, antelope and coyote hunts, with the scope-mounted red dot up top. Before…

The Brief: An Elbert County property owner shot an unauthorized intruder after being physically assaulted inside a vacant home in Bowman, Georgia.
