Gordon HutchinsonThe Shootist
By: Gordon Hutchinson
Naturally, you can’t clean this rifle from the chamber end, and cleaning with rods and implements from the muzzle can damage the crown and lands where the bullet leaves the barrel. A great solution to this problem is the Hoppe’s BoreSnake, which has better cleaning properties than either brushes or patches. Once-a-year cleaning all that’s necessary
March 2008
 Each year I wonder how many sportsmen drag a firearm out of the closet in anticipation of the upcoming season, and find a patina of rust on the barrel or receiver, or worse, patches of rust that have actually eaten into the finish and marred it.
If you’re legally carrying your firearm, law-enforcement authorities have no right to seize it during a traffic stop. You don’t lose gun rights in traffic stop

 “Do I look like a thug?”
The bullets were Federal Fusion, .270 Winchester Short Magnum in 150-grain weight. This is a ½-inch, 100-yard group. Firing a group like this at 100 yards is exceptional from a rifle that allows interchangeable barrels. Merkel KR-1 approaches the ultimate

 We were sighting in several rifles for a friend last year — each year it seems he has another boy old enough to start deer hunting, and another rifle gets added to the batch I have to tune in on my range.
Baretta’s 3901 Target RL was designed with input from a handful of organizations that promote youth shooting. It comes with an adjustable, parallel comb. Right shotgun will hold child’s interest
September 2007
 The first wild game Brent ever took was a dove — and he killed it with a Daisy air rifle.
To determine which eye is your dominant eye, make a peep sight with the webs of your thumbs, and stare at an object in the distance. How to overcome cross-dominance
August 2007
 Brian Arabie, a regular reader, queried the magazine about teaching his young son shooting and firearms safety.
The author demonstrates the results of a shot with his Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 Casull. Another dedicated hunter, Abbie Pi, daughter of CorBon V-P Peter Pi Jr., sits on the 130-pound boar with the author. Casull dishes it, if you can take it

 Like a spouse in a dysfunctional relationship, I find myself missing the abuse.
This custom left-handed version of an AR-15-style semi-auto is owned by southpaw Baton Rouge gun dealer Jim Mayer.
