Leupold has a long tradition of providing American-made optics to the U.S. military and consumer market, and its catalog spans from truly state-of-the-art, mission-driven riflescopes to tried-and-true configurations that have been favored by sportsmen for decades. New for 2018, the VX-Freedom series of scopes updates the long-trusted configurations previously maintained in the VX-1 and VX-2 lines, and offers them at very accessible price points. The VX-Freedom family includes a wide range of popular riflescope designs, and also includes some purpose-build optics for muzzleloaders, AR-style rifles and rimfire-cartridge guns. This week, Joe Kurtenbach takes a closer look at Leupold�s VX-Freedom Rimfire 3-9X 40 mm scope. |

Do you want to be competent with a gun? Then you must be present to learn. Get some shooting buddies and learn together.
I took a concealed carry class when I first started shooting for real. The very next day, I took myself to my first defensive pistol competition. I knew no one, but I had a new gun, and fresh knowledge from the class I'd taken the day before. How bad could I be?
I was in over my head, but I met several people who were willing to help me along. I listened to the ones who treated me with respect. They couldn�t possibly treat me as an equal, because I wasn�t. But they treated me as they would any other new shooter. They welcomed me, and gave me pointers.
Eventually, I learned.

Introduced in 2008, Federal Premium shocked the shooting community with its new .327 Federal Magnum. The cartridge was essentially a lengthened .32 H&R Magnum loaded to a much higher pressure. Ruger and Smith & Wesson offered compact revolvers for this round, but aside from developing a cult-like following, it never really took off. That is until now; a decade later, it�s gaining new traction. Here are seven reasons you should consider the .327 Federal Magnum�a cartridge that was ahead of its time�as a defensive handgun ammo option. |

IN HIS SHORT story �Rattlesnakes and Men,� science fiction author Michael Bishop describes a town where everyone is required by law to own a dangerous rattlesnake. It�s a scenario that he says is no more absurd than how America treats access to guns. �We lost our son at Virginia Tech in 2007, in the shootings there,� Bishop says in Episode 322 of the Geek�s Guide to the Galaxy podcast. �I had been opposed to the laxity of our gun laws for a long, long time, and that just hardened both my wife and me on that particular point.� |
