Guns America

When it comes to shooting gadgets it is very seldom that I want to jump up and down on my roof and yell “look at this look at this look at this!” But this is the way I feel about the Leatherwood M-1000 scope. I almost wish it was a $2,000 thing, because people would take it more seriously, but though it is based on technology going all the way back to 1970, and the MSRP is $459, with a generalstreet price under $400, it is one of the most excitingly nerdy thingamajigs I have ever encountered in the shooting world. It may be a little ugly compared to the more elegant scopes of today, but this largish awkward looking scope can give you the ability to “frame, aim and shoot, ” point of aim, point of impact between 100 and 1000 meters without ever having to lift your eye from the eyepiece. And you can change from one load to the next, or even one rifle to the next with two minor adjustments. Does that totally rock or does that totally rock?

The BAR, and its derivatives, never really caught on with civilian shooters. Maybe .30-06 was too expensive. Or maybe the guns were just too big. There's more steel in a BAR than there is in an F-150. But there are still shooters, like me, who want a BAR, and Ohio Ordnance Works is filling that demand.

Not very frequently does GunsAmerica post written reviews from other gun publications, but in this particular instance we felt posting American Rifleman's original review of the Ruger 10/22 which appeared in the Sept. 1964 issue was warranted considering the celebration that is going on today at Ruger. If you haven't heard, Ruger is holding a special sweepstakes today to honor the 50th anniversary of the 10/22. Check it out!

A couple of weeks ago, we ran a Top 5 Compact .45 ACP article that stirred up a lot of controversy. That isn't surprising. A lot of you have already formed your own opinions. I expect this list will be just as contentious, if not more. The list of compact .45s is limited, as there aren't that many out there. 9mm is a different story. There are a lot of compact 9mms--choosing the best five requires a lot more thought. But we're up top the task.
