Riflescopes- Does a Higher Price Really Mean Better Value?

An article discussing the difference between cost and value, when purchasing a riflescope. Does greater cost equal greater value? Is the more expensive riflescope really worth the extra money compared to a lower cost, but comparably featured and warrantied riflescope? Read this comparison between a riflescope from Bushnell, versus a very similar riflescope from NcStar. Then you be the judge.

BBs, Baby!

Questions about rifle scopes and shotguns have been around for years, especially in the years since the advent of the fully-rifled barrel and very accurate shotgun slugs. Folks with spare rifle scopes, or who choose a rifle scope because there are so many more types available than shotgun scopes, want to put them on their slug guns.

Savage 10ML-II Muzzleloader
This is a more detailed review of the Savage 10 ML-II muzzleloading rifle, which is the only widely-available muzzleloading rifle that will safely shoot smokeless powder loads. The rifle is 50 caliber and does well with black powder as well as several smokeless powder I have tried in it.

Savage 10ML-II Muzzleloading R
This is an awesome rifle. Savage is the one and only manufacturer making a rifle that can handle smokeless powder. That means DO NOT SHOOT SMOKELESS POWDER in any other muzzleloading rifle unless it is expressly marked as such (a few custom rifles will handle it). I love this rifle and what it's capable of, especially since the price is lower than other inlines that lack its flexibility. This rifle shoots black powder very well, and will also burn smokeless, Pyrodex, and 777. Me, I'm hooked.

There are many choices when it comes to autoloading shotguns. Here we will look at seven of today's most popular auto shotgun makers, in alphabetical order.
