I’ve seen long-range shooting referred to as “weaponized math,” and there’s a great deal of truth to that appellation. Whether you hew to milliradians or MOA, there’s math just getting a scope ready to shoot: Torque settings on the mount and on the scope rings, proper leveling of the reticle, making adjustments to zero; there’s a lot of numbers before you even think about “going long.” Bullet-drop-compensating reticles—reticles whose markings represent a drop at a certain distance for a projectile of known weight and velocity—are one way to mitigate the math needed for long range. Some scopes are calibrated so…

In 1947, Bruce Hodgdon, a Navy veteran, got word the military was planning to dump 50,000 pounds of surplus gunpowder into the ocean following World War II. Bruce saw an opportunity: Instead of discarding gunpowder now that global conflict had ended, purchase the surplus and sell it to reloaders in America.

To advertise, Bruce rented a farm pasture and moved an old boxcar into it, took a photo and placed a 1-inch ad in…

I’ve mentioned before that manufacturers are currently in an arms race to give us better steels at progressively better prices, and the design of each new tool borders on the assiduous. Certainly, this describes Kershaw as much as any other manufacturer. These three Kershaw models represent different price points and design philosophies that define the brand today. However, one additional point worth considering is just how accessible good knives are in the current market. At one point, you had to know a guy who’d point you in the right direction,…
