BULLET PROOF
Ruger’s bringing back some old-school charm with the new Glenfield Model A, a bolt-action rifle that nods to the company’s original American Rifle.
It comes in seven popular calibers, from .243 to .450 Bushmaster, with a 20-inch barrel, adjustable trigger, and detachable magazines, all for about $499.
Early testers say it feels right in the hands — light, balanced, and well put together for the price. Check out the full review by Guns.com by clicking here.
TRUCKIN’ ALONG
Fifteen pickup trucks that never made it to America—but should’ve—were featured in a list put together by MotorTrend.
One of the top pickups featured on the list was the Brazilian 1979–1998 Ford F-1000, which had a stretched, four-passenger cab paired with only a single pair of doors.
Check out photos of the F-1000, and find the rest of the list here.
