When a lot of you see the Performance Center TCR22, one of the first thoughts that may come to mind is “Oh great, another 10/22 clone!”. I was certainly not immune from thinking this when I saw this rifle for the first time at SHOT Show, but I’ve learned you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

One of Remington’s most practical rifles is the Model Seven Threaded, which features a short, threaded barrel, a hydro-dipped synthetic stock, and a one-piece scope base.

The first time I ever heard the Bergara name was at a friend’s house, examining his new custom bolt gun that he said had a very accurate but rare barrel from a company in Spain.  I wasn’t reacquainted with the Bergara brand until a long time after that when I was given the opportunity to review Bergara’s Premier LRP and HMR rifles.

Originally, I set out to build an upper solely to test the Bergara 20” AR-15 barrel so I was not looking to spend a ton of money on a new handguard.  After a failed start using a free float tube that I got on sale I was on the hunt for something that was affordable, free floating, and modular. 

I was quite taken with the new Remington Model 783 Varmint. For years, Remington Varmint rifles have been a mainstay of long-range shooters looking to get every bit of performance out of the rifle that they can. The 783 Varmint ups the ante though with features that most people spend extra money for.

This year at SHOT, Geissele displayed what could be the perfect precision rifle handguard for the AR-15, their Mk 18 Super Modular Rail.

Altamont Company has been an OEM provider of stocks and grips to some of the biggest companies in the industry like Beretta, Browning, Ruger, S&W, and Sig. So when I’ve say you’ve probably held an Altamont product and not even known it, you know what I mean.

When ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain this suppressor could be an excellent choice for anyone that needs to carry their rifle far or navigate difficult terrain.
