You’re three days into a backcountry trip, your filter cartridge just split, and the only water source is a stagnant pond that smells like a wet bag of ass. Or maybe it’s not a trip at all — the tap ran dry after a storm took out the water treatment plant and you’re standing over a 5-gallon bucket of questionable creek water wondering what you actually know how to do about it.Iodine tablets are the answer everybody memorizes and almost nobody actually carries when it counts. They’re slow, they taste like a swimming pool had a baby with a penny,…
Charred lodgepoles scratching a gunmetal sky reflected my mood. This morning the elk had won. No plan in mind, I climbed beyond where they’d scattered. Probing the slope’s crest from the sit with my binocular, I saw it. Among ranks of black boles with low-arcing limbs, a branch curved up. The lenses of my 7×35 Bausch & Lomb resolved it. Antler! A 4 o’clock tangle became the bull’s hump — all but hidden by the bead on my .32 Special. After the carbine spoke I scaled the scarp and found blood on hoof-gashed snow. The elk lay 50 yards on.…

THE ASA IS TAKING BACK SUPPRESSOR RIGHTS ONE STATE AT A TIME Over the past several years, suppressor ownership has skyrocketed. They’ve become commonplace for law enforcement, hunters, competitors, and recreational shooters alike. Silencers help protect both the shooter and those around them from dangerous noise levels while allowing for effective communication. Founded more than a decade ago in 2011, the American Suppressor Association directly advocates for the rights of suppressor owners — and they have a lot of wins. Here we sit down to talk to Knox Williams, president and executive director of the ASA. ASA Suppressor Demo at…
The ATF new rules, “New Era of Reform”, is an initiative aimed at fostering transparency, accountability, and a collaborative partnership with the firearms industry, gun owners, and the public. To achieve this, the agency has introduced a comprehensive package of proposed and final rules designed to align with statutory changes, clarify regulatory ambiguities, modernize recordkeeping, reduce administrative burdens, and repeal overreaching prior regulations. In 2025, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) initiated a landmark strategic pivot, transitioning from a model of aggressive, enforcement-centric oversight toward a framework defined by transparency, accountability, and industry partnership. This “New Era…
Traditionally, big handguns were for carrying openly and smaller handguns were for concealment because — well, duh — smaller things are easier to hide (and they’re also less weight and bulk to carry). However, the wise concealed carriers ask themselves, “Why exactly am I carrying a handgun in the first place?” The obvious answer is, “Because I might have to shoot something to stay alive.” The standard Springfield Armory Echelon pistol is a full-sized handgun, and it makes for an exceptional concealed carry choice. Shown is a compact 4.0C model. You just need to find the right holster and methods…

A quick look at .222 Remington, the parent case of the ubiquitous .223 Remington.The .222 Remington was introduced by Remington in 1950 for the 722 bolt-action rifle, which was later superseded by the current 700 series. For a short time, the Remington Model 760 pump-action repeater was also available in this cartridge. Much of the credit for the .222 is due to Mike Walker, a longtime Remington employee. The cartridge became very popular with benchrest competitors in the 1970s, and varmint hunters also found its performance excellent. But, by the early 1990s, the .222 Remington had lost much of its…
