The Hammerli Force B1 is one of the most unique rifles in a sea of rimfire plinkers. We love the straight-pull action and quick-change barrel system. The M-LOK stock is better than most, and mounting a scope or red dot on the Picatinny rail is a piece of cake. It’s a fun rifle to shoot, and if Hammerli would ever get around to supporting other cartridges with new barrels, buying this would be a no-brainer.
“The DDM4ISR is a .300 BLK integrally suppressed rifle from Daniel Defense. It sports a 9 inch cold-hammer-forged barrel with an overall length of 16-inches. This gun features a Keymod handguard and handles just about as smoothly in a shoot house as it does out on the range. We had no problems whatsoever during our testing. This rifle loaded, fired, and ejected perfectly. The grip angle may feel odd to some, but overall it’s great once you get used to it.” – John C.
The Tisas 1911 A1 is a faithful reproduction of John Moses Browning’s classic 1911 pistol. A curved mainspring housing, gray Cerakote finish, GI-style sights, and Turkish walnut grips complete the classic WWII styling. These guns boast a forged frame, slide, and barrel while maintaining an extremely consumer-friendly price.
While known for their muzzleloaders, CVA set out to make a feature-rich, affordable bolt action rifle. A threaded barrel, detachable box magazine, and generously textured stock ensure that you won’t be lacking out of the box. With an affordable price of around $500, the Cascade is a strong contender for people looking for a solid hunting-rifle on a budget.
The M1 Garand was the first standard-issue self-loading rifle adopted by the US. A simple but elegant design, the Garand uses a long-stroke gas piston that operates a rotating bolt. It is fed by an 8-round en-bloc clip that makes the distinctive “ping” sound once the clip is automatically ejected after all the rounds are spent. Chambered in the powerful 30-06 cartridge, the semi-automatic Garand gave US soldiers a huge edge over enemies and allies alike who were still using slower bolt-action rifles.
The Sig P320 is a great pistol and an alternative for Glock, XD, M&P. For a Sig, it’s an entry-level gun and quite subpar compared to Sig’s legacy P-series. That said, this gun is reliable, accurate, and modular. As the Army’s newest sidearm, the P320 is a good choice for a first pistol and/or carry gun.
The P320 comes in different models and calibers. For gamers, the RX model is equipped with a factory red dot that looks promising. The Tacops Carry model is perfect for conceal carry with it’s full-length grip, compact slide, tall SIGLITE Night Sights, and 21-rd mags.
The DSA SA58 Improved Battle Rifle takes the ruggedness and reliability of the original FAL design and adds modern features. This rifle uses the B.R.S. (Battle Rifle Buttstock), which is adjustable for length-of-pull and comb, and also allows the gun to fire when folded. Also present is DSA’s extreme duty Picatinny scope mount and M-LOK front handguard. This allows you to mount all the optics and accessories you need to bring one of the most proven rifle designs in the world into the 21st century.
Mossberg set out to deliver a feature-rich bolt-action rifle at a reasonable price, and they did just that. With features like detachable box magazines, a spiral fluted bolt, a recessed match barrel crown, and a patented LBA user-adjustable trigger, the Patriot offers a lot of value.
