With the days getting noticeably shorter, a lot of shooters will be turning their attention to after-dark pest control. Whether targeting foxes, rabbits or rats, infrared night vision makes the job easier, and you don’t have to splash out on a dedicated optic to take advantage of this super-stealthy hunting technology. Clip-on night vision devices…

Regular readers will be aware that I am predominantly drawn to misfit guns that are a little quirky or generally not a regular occurrence in people’s cabinets. I have always been a fan of pumps and have a passion for cheap underdogs, which provide me with boundless pleasure when used to good effect, especially in…

It always makes me chuckle when shooters say that a particular type of rifle is not suitable for a certain quarry species, or camouflage clothing is non PC. Well, guess what? The game don’t give a damn. They will try to avoid you with a tactical-looking rifle as much as a custom engraved one. I…

Based in the Czech Republic, CZ is effectively a rebrand of the older Brno marque, whose products have always enjoyed a deserved reputation for unpretentiousness, reliability and robust construction. It is a testament to the brand that there are a great many early Brno and CZ rifles still in circulation performing just as well as…

This Spanish rifle manufacturer has made a great name for itself thanks to its impressive barrel manufacturing. Both its centrefire and rimfire rifles offer great value and are fast becoming respected rifles here in the UK – I have a couple of their rimfires myself. Its centrefire B14 model is the brand’s most popular, as…

My usual advice to anyone buying any item of shooting equipment is to buy the best you can afford without stretching yourself too far. By and large, the more you pay, the more you get, although the increments by which build quality, performance and general features improve tend to shrink once you pass a certain…

When the T2 Pro first came to my attention, I expected to be thoroughly underwhelmed. A smartphone plug-in micro camera – how good could that possibly be? As it turns out, bloody good. I’m genuinely impressed. The unit ships in a nicely packaged box, which includes the camera plus a very handy little padded carrying…

The Beretta 694 Pro is essentially a 694 with a TSK stock on it. The TSK is a fully adjustable stock, and when I say fully, I mean completely. Many shooters buy a standard walnut stock with an adjustable comb. Some shooters might even get themselves a custom-made stock. The TSK stock will let the…

It’s been 10 years since Isuzu launched the D-Max, in which time it has gained a reputation as a capable 4×4 and its popularity and appeal rivals that of the mighty Toyota Hilux. With the imminent arrival of birds and several pens to get ready, there was a touch of perfect timing for the arrival…

In this review I have the pleasure of testing three Caesar Guerinis – the Syren Tempio Light Sporting, Syren Tempio Sporting and Syren Julia Sporting. The Syren is the Caesar Guerini range of shotguns for ladies. CG have a really good range of lady-styled guns, and if you are either new to the sport or…

Edgar Brothers is now the proud importer of the new hunting rifles from Seekins Precision in Idaho, USA — and we have the Havak Pro Hunter 2 on test in .308 Win. These are very striking sporting rifles, primarily due to the spiral-cut fluted barrels, three colour stock finishes (mountain shadow, desert shadow and urban…
