How to Clean a Gun

When it comes to gun cleaning, everybody has at least two favorite methods. This is one of ours.

JP Enterprises LRP-07H

Chambered in .338 Federal, the JP Enterprises LRP-07H semi-automatic centerfire rifle provides accuracy and power for the hunters out there who love the AR platform.

Hardware: Mauser Model 12

German factory rifles normally come with precisely made actions, match-grade barrels, well-bedded stocks and excellent triggers. That’s because Germans expect hunting rifles to work extremely well directly from the factory. The new Mauser Model 12 made a favorable impression right from the start.

Hardware: Savage Axis II XP

Savage offers a wide selection of "package" rifles that come out of the box with a riflescope already mounted and bore-sighted. Essentially, all you have to do is finalize the zero with your load and go hunting.
