If someone were to ask you which products Colt has sold over the years, would you say a .22 semiautomatic rifle? I didn’t think you would. Colt made three versions of .22 rifles, the Courier, Colteer and Stagecoach, as well as others under several private-label names for Sears, Wards and other companies. This alloy rifle shot well, but did not hold up well. Unless it was kept oiled and clean, the alloy parts wore very rapidly. In spite of this, the little Colt rifles were good enough lightweight shooters that most owners will pay to get them fixed rather than discard theirs.

Introduced in 1963, the Remington Model 1100 shotgun has been around for over 40 years now. Variations include a sporter for field shooting, a Magnum version for ducks and geese, as well as a skeet and trap model for those who enjoy breaking clay targets. In all, there have been well over 3,500,000 Model 1100s produced over this period of time so you are bound to see one (or more) come across your bench. In this article, I’ll cover some of the common problems that result in ejection failures along with a few of the possible glitches that aren’t seen very often. And, of course, I’ll examine the cures that will help you get this shotgun back in service as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Check out several videos this week: Close quarter defense requires different tactics than defense from a distance. Pillar bedding is the process of installing aluminum columns in a rifle stock to ensure there is perfect metal-to-metal contact between the action and bottom metal. Gunsite Range Master Il Ling New demonstrates the how to properly load and unload your firearm.

What's ahead for the midterms? Jeff Knox at The Firearms Coalition says, 'There might be a few Democrats who haven't been able to bring themselves to declare support for the Second Amendment, but the official party line is broad support for the constitutional right, while interpreting it in the narrowest terms, and doing all they can to undermine and dismantle it.' As for the other party, 'Republicans, on the other hand, are generally supportive of the right to arms, but few of them have any more understanding of the issue than do the Democrats. They definitely lack the resolve and the backbone to vigorously oppose the Democrats' attacks on the Constitution and the President's appointments of radical extremists to the courts and high level government positions.'

Nikon Presents The New 10x25 Realtree Outdoors Compact

Nikon Sport Optics is pleased to introduce the new 10x25 Realtree Outdoors Compact Binocular. Bearing the name of one of the most popular hunting shows of all time, this binocular packs Nikon’s advanced optics into a very user-friendly size.

“Not every hunter needs or wants a full sized binocular,” notes Jon LaCorte, Nikon’s Senior Product Marketing Manager. “This binocular won’t take up very much space and it is surprisingly easy on your budget.”

Lightweight and pocket sized, the 10x25 Realtree Outdoors compact is 4.5 x 4.8 inches (2.8 inches when folded) and weighs-in at a mere 9.5 ounces. The binocular is mated with a rubber armored, Realtree APG camouflage exterior that provides added shock resistance and a firm grip.

Although pocket sized, this fold-up compact binocular is big on features. The Realtree Outdoors comes with fold-down rubber eyecups, precisely cut lens and prism glass for clarity, and features multicoated lenses for maximum light transmission and image quality.

Perfect for every budget, the 10x25 Realtree Outdoors Compact carries a list price of $98.95. Like all Nikon binoculars, the Realtree Outdoors Binoculars are covered by Nikon's 25-year limited warranty and the exclusive No-Fault Repair/Replacement policy.

I like Nikon optics. It is perfect for every budget. Vortex binoculars are also worth buying, providing the combination of ergonomic design, performance, ruggedness and great value.
