Featured Rifle
Ruger 77 Mark II 243 Heavy Barrel
From the 01-01-2001 Issue of Gun TestsClassification:Long Guns
Category:Rifles
Model Name:M77VT Mark II
Manufacturer:Ruger
Model Number:243 Win.
FULL GUN REPORT
This was an attractive $685 rifle, with a blonde-colored laminated stock sporting an extremely nice and well-done matte finish. After our initial negative experiences with the electronic Remington, the entirely conventional Ruger, with no gizz-whizzes or batteries or insulators needed to make it go bang, was most welcome. Besides .243, the same rifle is available in .223, .22-250, .220 Swift, 25-06 and .308. All the metalwork except the sling swivel studs was finished in a semi-matte light color that Ruger calls Target Gray, which we found very attractive in contrast with the light-colored stock. The studs were blued. The 26-inch-long stainless-steel barrel was free-floated evenly all the way back to the action.

Their AR-15s arent chopped liver either: Fultons FAR-15 (5.56/223 Rem.) was our gun of the year in 2009. Now the Titan FAR-308 was in our crosshairs. To ensure neutral opinions on this gun, none of our testers had participated in last years review of the FAR-15.

Browning BL-22 Grade II Lever Action .22 LR
From the 04-01-2008 Issue of Gun TestsClassification:Long Guns
Category:Rifles
Model Name:BL-22 Grade II Lever Action .22 LR
Manufacturer:Browning
Model Number:No. 024101103
FULL GUN REPORT
The Grade II is one of five BL-22s offered by Browning for 2008. The Grade II is scroll engraved on the receiver and has a gold-colored trigger. The Grade I tested in December 2006 lacks the IIs scroll engraving and checkering on the walnut, but the Grade I MSRPs for a lot less, $494. Brownings most expensive lever rimfire is the BL-22 FLD Grade II Octagon, $786, which a silver-nitride finish, octagonal barrel, and a front gold bead. Because the Grade II comes at a $150-ish premium to the Marlin and Henry, we wondered if those extra dollars would turn into enthusiasm in our evaluation.
