Black Gold Custom Arms MT-15

Switch Barrel Sako Quad Rifle

Sporting rifles with interchangeable barrels have been with us for a very long time. Several years ago at a gun show, a collector of Winchester lever-action rifles had a Model 94 takedown rifle with barrels in .30-30, .25-35, .32 Special, .32-40 and .38-55 Winchester.

Rifle Talk- .22 Hornet Lineage

Varmint shooters are well aware of the .22 Hornet. Yet in my neck of the high desert, for unknown reasons, few acquaintances have owned one. Fewer yet have actually shot one. The great exception includes ardent handloaders. Probably due to the widespread use of the far more potent and generally more accurate .223 and .22250 Remingtons and the .204 Ruger – more versatile options all – the Hornet is often ignored. The cartridge can also be temperamental when it comes to accuracy.
