When you hear the terms “long-range shooting,” “competition rifle,” and “sniper,” what gunmakers come to mind? “Tikka” might not top your list, but I think that could be about to change.Especially in disciplines like NRL Hunter, competitive shooters are turning to Tikka’s T3x platform, swapping out the factory stock for a chassis, and hitting the circuit. Tikka has taken notice of this trend, and their new line of Ace rifles is designed to give shooters an out-of-the-box option with no need for a stock swap.I think they’re onto something. As long as this test rifle isn’t an outlier, the Ace…

Since the 2010s, we’ve seen an influx of Turkish-made imports, and companies such as SDS Imports out of Knoxville, Tenn., are bringing the American shooter unique, quality-made examples, some modeled after successful designs of the 20th century like the M1911A1 we’ve shown here previously on Gun Of The Week, and others of their own blueprint.

The following is a summary of a Stakeholder Prepping Podcast. — Something that a lot of us overlook is the idea that preparedness is fundamentally a whole-family-unit endeavor. The effectiveness of any emergency plan hinges not on the dedication of a single individual, but on the cooperation and understanding of the entire family.

The core challenge for parents is shifting the family’s mindset away from visualizing doomsday scenarios and toward fostering confidence,…

There’s a long history of record fish being eaten by the angler who caught it. The world record walleye, coho salmon, northern pike, and several others were all consumed after being weighed and measured, including the world record largemouth bass, which was famously eaten for three straight days by the angler’s family.Many of these anglers hadn’t realized that their monstrous catches were records at the time and simply saw them as a grand prize for the dinner table. But when Andrew Oestringer caught what could have been the Vermont State Record smallmouth bass back in August, he not only didn’t…
