The first known death from the tick-borne meat allergy Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS) has been reported this month in New Jersey. In September 2024, a 47-year-old airline pilot returned home after an afternoon barbecue, and despite feeling well enough to mow the lawn and read a newspaper, he began to suffer severe abdominal distress and was found dead by his son in the family’s bathroom later that evening.The man had no history of other health conditions, and medical examiners could not determine the cause of death, listing it as “unexplained” on the man’s autopsy report. By chance, the man’s wife discussed…

Mag.Instead, I want to point your attention to a few options off the beaten path. These cartridges aren’t obscure or obsolete like those you’ll find in the Forgotten Cartridges series. But even…
The Benelli M4 set the standard for a combat-grade semi-automatic shotgun when it was adopted by the Marine Corps as the M1014. While it proved to be a popular shotgun, civilian users in this country have had to settle for a version missing some of the features of its Marine brethren. That all changed with Benelli’s introduction of the new-for-2025 M4 EXT. With the new EXT model, Benelli is offering civilians the same features found on the law-enforcement and military versions of the M4. Black MultiCam finish shown. Imported shotguns and semi-automatic rifles must conform to the standards of 18…

A lot of these…
In recent years, Colt has revived its vaunted line of “snake guns,” a collection of double-action revolvers with serpent-inspired nomenclature, such as the Cobra, the Python and the Anaconda. One of the latest additions to the second-generation line of snake guns is the Viper, which stands out in the lineup for several reasons. Watch our “American Rifleman Television” Rifleman Review segment above to see the details and watch it in action on the range. “The original Vipers came out in 1977. They were an aluminum alloy-frame gun, and they were chambered in the .38 Special cartridge,” former American Rifleman Editor…

If you haven’t yet gone through what I’m going to talk about on this show, you’re either the best dog trainer on the planet, or you have the best dog on the planet, or you’re blissfully aware of the reality when you actually hunt.
