The bill introduces stricter measures, such as elevating the offense of shooting into an occupied dwelling to a Class A felony and imposing new sanctions on probationers found with firearms. These changes, which take effect in October, reflect a determined effort by lawmakers to tackle violence and ensure…

Scopes are bigger and heavier now because we demand more of them. We want brighter images in low light and at the same time, higher magnification, so scope-makers install bigger objective (front) lenses to increase the bundle of light that reaches our eye (the optic’s exit pupil).

This is noteworthy because it had been widely reported that Republicans were considering selling public land as a way to pay for other items in the budget.“The decision to leave…

For generations, the quintessential woodland-hunting optic featured a magnification range of 3-9X. The low end of this range provided the required field of view, while the high end allowed for engaging targets at the distances that such terrain generally offers hunters. As technology has improved, however, manufacturers are now better able to design optics with an even greater magnification range that can be contained in a similar-size package. Such is the idea behind Tract’s Response hunting riflescope, a 2.5-10X optic that offers more magnification range on both ends while also being easy on the pocketbook. The scope’s BDC-style…

Long on display at the NRA National Sporting Arms Museum in Springfield, Mo., Beretta’s impeccably built Rinascimento (Renaissance) guns are now forever the property of the National Rifle Association and its members.

The American West fascinates people from around the world, but there are many different kinds of iconic western stories. Author Dan Flores has spent a career writing about what he calls the Natural West, stories about nature, animals, and people that span thousands of years of time in the western half of America. Although we reflexively think of history in America as new, this first episode emphasizes the West’s true age by focusing on the great Chacoan Empire of a thousand years ago and what happened among its refugees in the Southwest in the wake of Chaco’s collapse from environmental…
