Whether you decide to take a suppressor into the deer woods or elk mountains this fall depends on how you feel about the pros and cons below.Pro 1: Situational AwarenessWe all know that a suppressor dampens the report of a shot, but…

Not long after we rolled into the 21st century, one of the few truly groundbreaking cartridges to come on the scene in some time joined a short, fat upstart to form the basis for a small family line from a big-name maker. That cartridge was the .270 Winchester Short Magnum (WSM), which came on the heels of the successful 2000 launch of its .30-cal. parent, the .300 WSM (May 2001, p. 38). The .270 WSM debuted to writers a year later and to consumers in 2002. Unlike its parent, though, which entered a crowded field, the .270 WSM was among…

The Big Idea EDC item that I like the most is their Ti Field Watch. It is rugged, light-weight, and accurate. With a price at the time of this writing of $499.99 at BigIDesign.com , it is definitely not inexpensive. But it is by far the best watch that I have ever owned. If you can afford a watch in the mid-price range, this one would be an excellent choice.…
