Ruger 10/22 (Talo Exclusive) Engraved Wolf Edition

In this episode of Guns Gear & Freedom I discuss and show my new Ruger 10/22 (Talo Exclusive) Engraved Wolf Edition rifle. Ruger and Talo have teamed up and really knocked it out of the park with this engraved wolf, limited edition rifle. To my knowledge there are only 500 of these units that will ever be produced. This rifle features a beautiful engraved wolf on a Beech wood stock. Other features include the legendary Ruger tried and true action for reliability and consistency, a gold bead front sight and a traditional rear folding sight, along with a very reliable 10 round rotary style magazine. This rifle also comes with a prominent magazine release for easy no fuss magazine removal. This rifle features an 18.5 inch cold hammer-forged barrel with a 1 in 16 in, right hand twist making this rifle a total of 37 inches in length. This rifle weighs in at 4.9lbs. The receiver, barrel and stock combine to create an attractive, yet classic styling that Ruger is well known for. Ruger also built safety into this rifle with their positive cross-bolt push button style safety.

It has been my experience in the past, that when buying cheap rifle scopes, it never really works out really well. I thought maybe this might not be such a hot idea. However after reading several other positive written reviews over on Amazon.com about this scope, I decided to give the Firefield Tactical 10-40x50 Long Range Rifle Scope a chance. After all, it had all the features I was looking for, and it was only $100.00. This scope can be found over on Amazon.com, www.fire-field.com as well as on eBay.com for right around the same price. The package includes: Firefield Tactical 10-40x50 Scope, Mounting Rings, Lens Caps and Lens Cloth.

This rifle scope features over-sized windage and elevation turrets, parallax objective lens adjustment and a red and green illuminated mil-dot reticule with five brightness settings for each color. I was impressed with the illuminated reticules, and did not expect them to be included in a cheap scope.

So far, I have only mounted the scope to my .308 Win. Remington 700 ADL bolt action rifle. I did not use the scope mounting rings that came with this scope as they appeared to be flimsy. I opted to use the scope rings that came with my Remington 700 ADL instead. I have not tried to zero this scope in at the range. I haven't even fired my new Remington 700 ADL for that matter either.

I will be producing a video review of this scope to determine whether it holds zero under the force of the recoil from multiple .308 Win. rounds. I will also be testing whether or not this scope is useful for longer range shots, by shooting from various distances. From what I can tell by just handling the scope, the unit seems solid, but whether it is consistently accurate after being fired remains to be seen.

At what age should you give your child a pocket knife and introduce them to knife handling and safety? This is a difficult question that many parents are faced with. In the video above I talk about what led me to my decision to introduce my 7 year old daughter to the world of pocket knives and demonstrate knife safety by gifting my daughter her first pocket knife on her birthday.

When my father was 7 years old, his father gave him his very first pocket knife. When I turned seven years old, my dad passed down to me what his dad did for him and he gave me my first pocket knife. Now that my daughter has turned 7 years old, and to also keep with family tradition, I have given my daughter her very first pocket knife.

She has been using her pocket knife now for about 2 weeks under direct adult supervision, and she has only managed to slip and cut herself once in the finger. It was not a bad cut, but it was enough to wake her up and made her realize that she really needed to pay much closer attention to the task at hand. As a reference you can find even more knife safety rules to go over with your children by following the link below.

I have been busy lately making a lot of videos and getting them put out on YouTube and I've sort of neglected to write on my blog. To the few that follow my blog, thank you, and hopefully more people will also.

I just wanted to post to my Tumblr blog and share a story with everybody about one of my latest shooting and YouTube video experiences. I had a friend of mine that I went to school with, come out to the Guns Gear & Freedom private shooting range and he brought a few of his own guns and ammunition for me to try out. One of which was the Howa Axiom Model 1500 rifle chambered in .223 Remington.

The Howa Axiom Model 1500 is a bolt action rifle that is incredibly ergonomic and stylish. It is like gripping an AR-15, but set up as a long distance shooting rifle. The gun was fairly accurate taking into account we were shooting farther then the standard 100 yards and it was really windy outside.

Nonetheless, we still managed to use the rifle and 3.5 lbs of generic Tannerite shooting at a distance of about 150 yards to blow up an old clothes washing machine. In fact I used Star Targets Exploding Rifle Targets which is simply ammonium nitrate and aluminum powder mixed together to set off this excellent afternoon delight.

The clean up process took about 30 minutes afterwards as we had to scurry around picking up pieces that were found 100+ yards away from the blast epicenter. The blast was intense and it did rattle the windows of my sister's home. She told me that she was on the telephone when it went off, and it rattled her windows. Not to mention the fact that you could feel the blast percussion in your chest slightly. It as awesome. So much so, that we decided to blow up an old BBQ shortly thereafter. I will post post a blog entry about that another time.

Thanks for reading, thanks for watching and be safe out there.

I finally decided it was time to clean out my lower gun cabinet as it was becoming disorganized and things were starting to irritate me when I go in to take out my cleaning supplies.

Needless to say I found a couple of rifle sling eyelets just loose floating around that needed a place to go, and I never throw anything out when it comes to my guns. Usually I just temporarily store things until I need them.

Naturally I had a gun inside the gun case that did not have a sling installed. My Ruger 10/22 semi-automatic rifle was sitting in there with a virgin butt stock that had never been drilled for a sling.

Being the do it yourself-er that I am I took it upon myself to measure out and drill pilot holes and try and install the rifle sling eyelets myself, and to my great pleasure everything went smooth as butter.

I installed the rifle sling eyelets and a cheap $20.00 vinyl Winchester rifle sling to the butt stock, and it totally changed the way my Ruger looked.

I am very pleased and now I believe this rifle is ready to see some rabbits, coyotes and squirrels in the bush. Could not have asked for a easier job. Wish I would have done it much sooner.

Until next time...... ;)

In this episode of Guns Gear & Freedom I take you with me while I start exercising after a long period of inactivity to illustrate the importance of physical fitness and being active outdoors.

I decided a few days ago that getting into good physical shape and staying that way is a very important part of outdoor recreation. So much so, that I felt that if others enjoyed shooting, camping, fishing, swimming or other fun outdoor activities like I do, then they too have probably found that it is better to be in shape, then not. I decided to get rid of my spare tire hanging on my gut and to tone up my bodies muscles and start eating right so that I can enjoy the many outdoor activities that I like to do much easier than I could being out of shape. Besides, being in shape can help you in a combat or self defense situation. It can also improve your over all well being.

I have not exercised in a few years and have become somewhat lazy. Now granted, I do get outside, and go shooting, fishing, and enjoy the outdoors, but I don't do anything special to keep my body from getting the spare tire and flab that tends to plague the midsection of many Americans.

I have come up with an easy nightly routine that I am starting every night around 7:00 p.m. when the sun is still up which should help me to get back into shape without wrecking my body.

Week 1: 20 minutes of Speed Walking to elevate breathing and heart rate and to help rebuild muscle tissue in my legs, followed by 5 minutes of regular walking to cool down and lower my heart rate at a healthy pace, followed by a return home to 4 sets of 10 reps of bicep curls at 20 lbs each and then 4 sets of 10 reps of bench pressing.

Week 2: 10 Minutes of Speed Walking, 10 Minutes of light jogging followed by 5 minutes of regular walking to cool down, followed by a return home to 4 sets of 10 reps of bicep curls at 20 lbs each and then 4 sets of 10 reps of bench pressing.

Week 3: 15 minutes of light jogging, 5 minutes of speed walking, 5 minutes of regular walking to cool down, followed by a return home to 4 sets of 10 reps of bicep curls at 20 lbs each and then 4 sets of 10 reps of bench pressing.

Week 4: 20 minutes of light jogging, 5 minutes of speed walking to cool down, followed by a return home to 4 sets of 10 reps of bicep curls at 20 lbs each and then 4 sets of 10 reps of bench pressing.

I will post another entry at the end of the first 30 days and I should be able to see how I am doing by then.

My dad stopped in at my place today and I happened to ask him if he still had his old bolt action .22 rifle stored away in a box some place. I know he doesn't get out as often to do any shooting like I do, so I figured I would ask him and see if I could borrow his rifle and take it out to get some sunshine.

As it turns out, my father told me yeah he's still got it, and that I could come get it any time. The only stipulation was that I cleaned his rifle when I was done. He said it hadn't been cleaned for quite some time. '

I decided to take him up on that offer, so I went up to his place and got the rifle out of the box it was in, and out to the range I went to make a review video for my YouTube channel.

When I got to the range, I had a cardboard human silhouette target sitting behind the seat of my pickup. I really wanted to use some spray paint cans, because they explode on impact, but I didn't have any this time, so I was stuck using a simple cardboard target. I promised myself I would be getting some exploding targets again soon, because I know they make for a more interesting video, not to mention they are fun as hell to shoot.

So I proceed through my video review out at the range, and the sun is directly in my eyes at this time of day. It was about 7:30 p.m. Pacific Time on a July evening when I finally got to the filming location. The sun was about an hour or so from going down but it was just hanging low enough to be right in my face! Go figure. So anyways I proceed to set up my cameras, the target, the table and chair and I finally get all done with that mess, and then I start the review.

After firing my first shot from the gun, I remembered how much fun this rifle was to shoot, even though it was only a single shot bolt action .22. I have been acclimatized to loading magazines into pistols and rifles and then just pulling the trigger, that I forgot how fun it was to just sit down, relax and take your time. The Remington Model 580 single shot bolt action .22 rifle makes you take your time between shots. Such a sweet little gun! Maybe I'll take that gun out squirrel hunting!

I may catch some flack for this, however I don't really care. I am an individual who is very much for guns and conceal carry and the 2nd amendment. With that being said, all week long I've been hearing talk out on the Internet about a lot of negativity relating to the George Zimmerman trial and the jury's verdict claiming Mr. Zimmerman to be innocent.

Now we hear of all the rioting going on, and the racist hate that is going on, and simply all over a man trying to defend himself because he thought he was going to loose his life because somebody was smashing his head into the concrete.

I have to admit. If I were put in George Zimmerman's position and somebody was bashing my head into the concrete and I could not get him off of me and make him stop, I too would have put a round in his chest.

Why You Should Conceal Carry: Responsibilities of CCW (HD)

You Will Never Know When Trouble Will Find You: Daily activities like walking into the grocery store, going to an ATM at the bank or just walking down the street where you live, generally you may not think anything of it.

But what if during any one of these daily activities one day, someone could try to render harm upon you or your family and change your world forever in less than a second?

The problem is, you never know when it is "safe" or when somebody is about to rock your life, in a bad way with the consequences being horrific and permanent.

Bad guys do not give any warning before they try to steal your car, mug you or even assault you or your family. Be a victim of any one of these crimes, and it can turn your world upside down into an experience that you will be very lucky to survive.

Conceal carrying a weapon like a knife or a gun is a good start! It is not going to be the answer to all of the problems you may encounter in this nature, and you will need to use sound judgement on when you need to use your concealed carry weapon, however it may give you a fighting chance to save yourself or someone you love.

Conceal Carrying Can Help Make You Consciously Aware Of The World Around You:

Legally carrying a concealed weapon and having the feel of a weapon against your hip, in your pocket or however you carry it, should be a constant reminder of the fact that you are now on duty and you have a responsibility to keep yourself and everyone else around you safe, and that when leaving your home one day you need to come to terms with the fact that you may have to actually deploy and use your concealed weapon to protect yourself or other people.

When I conceal carry, I find that I am constantly aware of the fact that I have a weapon, but I am also consciously aware of the fact that anybody else whether they are good guys or bad guys could be just as likely carrying a concealed weapon. The thought of this always puts me in a state of constant awareness in which when I am out and about I am making continual threat assessments of every person around my area. I find the more aware I am of my surroundings, the better chances I might have of dealing with any type of threat that presents itself.

I have a little saying that goes something to the effect of "Be polite, be professional but have a plan to kill everyone you meet." I am not saying that you should be planning out how to actually murder people, but I am saying that for self preservation and protection purposes you should be thinking about if this person, or that person tries something, how can I put them down and stop the threat. Sound judgement is key.

Awhile back before I started blowing stuff up in my videos I had never experienced the raw power of Tannerite. I had heard about it, watched other videos about it, but nothing can describe the feeling of blowing something up without you doing it yourself.

In this video I tried to use a reactive silhouette target while shooting a Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22. My goal was to try and shoot a smiley face into the targets head at about 70 yards. As you can see by the video it was easier said then done.

Since I decided shooting a perfect smiley face at that distance was not feasible I figured the best way to add some fun to the mix was to strap some Star Target Exploding Rifle Target mix to the back of the wooden target stand and give it a go with the Remington 30-06.

Again this was my very first experience with exploding targets and I was just getting a feel for how powerful this stuff can be. It was awesome! The sound of the explosion is fairly loud, and seeing something just come apart from a blast while you hear and feel the blast is very exciting. I knew from that moment on that I would be using more exploding targets in my future videos. They are just too darn fun not to!

A few weeks ago, I borrowed my wife's Ruger SR9 9mm pistol. I took it out to do a pistol review and I really enjoyed shooting her gun.

At the time of making this video, I had just received my custom Guns Gear & Freedom T-Shirt that I now wear in my YouTube videos, I also bought a whole other camera and tripod set up and fixed up a whole new video opener to my firearms series videos, not to mention I had constructed some target stands that hold clay pigeons and this was my trial run video with those. It all came together to make what I feel was a decent shooting video.

Now moving back to the pistol, the one thing I love about the Ruger SR9 is how good it feels in my hand. It has a tactical feeling to it. It is sleek, and the handle just fits like a glove. You can get a tight and straight grip that helps you control the gun better than a grip with a blocky build to it.

This firearm also has an awesome trigger pull. The trigger break is crisp and breaks very sharply, making this gun very accurate while squeezing off some 9mm FMJ rounds.

I really love the sights on this gun as well. The sight picture makes target shooting at 30 yards seem like a piece of cake. It is no trouble at all shooting smaller targets, and I felt as if I could shoot fairly consistently with these sights.

If I had to use this fine firearm as a defense pistol, I believe I would have no problem putting the rounds two to center mass, and one to the head. I would like to buy some human silhouette targets and give a few minutes running some defense drills with the SR9.

If you are thinking about maybe purchasing a Ruger pistol, it is my opinion that you honestly won't regret going with an SR series pistol. The Ruger SR series pistols come in the SR9, SR40 and SR45. They also come in SR9c, SR40c and I'm not sure if they have come out with the SR45c yet.

Do yourself a favor and go down to your local shooting range and see if they rent hand guns. If they do, try out a Ruger SR series pistol and make up your own mind.

Teaching your children how to use firearms, and even at a young age can be a very controversial topic. It seems a lot of people do not believe that kids and guns mix at all. I say that is hogwash! My argument comes from the fact that in my opinion children by nature are super curious and absorb information like a sponge. They are naturally curious and because of this curiosity, if you as a parent make guns something taboo to your children and do not teach them how to handle firearms and how to handle them in a safe manner, this can be devastating and lead to tragedy. However, it is my opinion that if you as a parent take the time and effort to teach your children how to handle firearms safely, and help satisfy your child's curiosity, they will grow up treating firearms with respect and in a safe manner. Not to mention that you and your children will have many opportunities to enjoy each others company while you get to be their hero and show them some pretty neat things. It is your duty as an American, and your duty as a parent, whether you own a gun or not, to teach your children about firearm safety. You could save their life, or the life of somebody else. Do your duty!
