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!

The circle of fashion in 5.56 cans has been in the low backpressure phase now for a couple of years, and we’re all about it. A diagnosis of heavy metal poisoning tends to focus the mind on what’s being absorbed via our lungs, and if we don’t absolutely have to ingest lead and antimony, we’d rather avoid it, thanks all the same. SIG and Dead Air both have relatively new offerings in this market segment, so we thought it would be a good idea to compare them side by side. Both are geared toward the semi-auto user, both are made…
The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was the United States’ first centralized intelligence agency, established during World War II to coordinate espionage, sabotage and psychological warfare against Axis powers. It laid the foundation for modern intelligence operations and was the direct precursor to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The OSS created this false identification document for Joe Savoldi, who posed as Giuseppe De Leo while infiltrating the black market in Naples.
