The Buck 110 Folding Hunter LT brings back that same useful hunting-knife feel in a lighter, slimmer package.
Most of the old and weird shotguns are new to me. Guns, I’m experiencing for the first time. That’s not the case with the Savage Model 67. The Savage Model 67 was, and remains, the shotgun my dad has always hunted with. He’s had a Model 67 since before I was born and swears by […] The...
