Howa M1500 Superlite Review 

The Howa M1500 Superlite is a rifle designed for hunters and shooters who want all the power and accuracy of a full-sized rifle in a more convenient, lightweight, and maneuverable package. Featuring a synthetic stock, barrel, and action, the Howa M1500 Superlite weighs a mere 7.8 pounds. Its accuracy and reliability make it a very attractive option for shooters who don’t want to sacrifice quality for portability.

To begin, the Howa M1500 Superlite is incredibly lightweight, making it easy to carry when hunting or shooting for extended periods of time. This is especially true for those with smaller statures, as the lighter weight means they can make shots more easily and won’t tire out. This feature also makes the rifle easier to store and transport, whether it’s heading out into the field or just on an extended hunting trip.

The Howa M1500 Superlite also features a high-grade precision barrel that is known for its accuracy and reliability. The barrel is cold hammer forged, meaning it has been precisely cut and crafted from high-quality steel, resulting in a superior surface finish and secure attachment of the barrel’s components. The barrel profile is a 22-inch, .308 caliber, with a 1:10 twist rate that works well with both heavier and lighter bullets up to about the 78 grain mark.

The action of the Howa M1500 Superlite is a classic three-position bolt that enables quick and convenient cycling of the cartridges. With this model, Howa has incorporated a few unique features such as an integrated single-stage trigger, enlarged loading port, and a slick bolt-lift device to allow for more versatility and improved performance. The bolt is a two-lug design, giving it great strength and durability while remaining light in weight.

Another interesting feature of the Howa M1500 Superlite is the included scope rail. This is specifically designed to fit existing standard scope mounts, so you won’t have to buy additional hardware. Additionally, Howa includes a five-round detachable magazine with the rifle, which is a nice touch. This magazine features an integrated release button, making reloading a breeze and reducing wasted time in the field.

The Howa M1500 Superlite also boasts a 100 percent adjustable trigger that can be set to any weight between 3.25 and 4.25 pounds. This adjustable feature is great for tailoring the rifle to an individual shooter’s preference and skill set. 

The safety system on this rifle is designed to easily be switched off and on after each firing session, again making the process quick and convenient. One nice portion of the safety system is that it can be switched on and off when the bolt is in the open or closed position, meaning the rifle can be safely carried in the field without having to bear the weight of the safety.

The stock is where the Howa M1500 Superlite really stands out. It is made of tough, lightweight composite material, shaped for complete ergonomic superiority. It also features Howa’s patented Soft Grip Technology, which keeps the stock from slipping in wet or icy conditions. This is especially nice to have on long hunting trips when conditions can change quickly and unexpectedly.

Finally, the Howa M1500 Superlite comes with an exclusive 10-year, transferable, warranty. This is especially invaluable for novice shooters and new rifle owners, as any pre-existing defects can be serviced at no cost.

The BUL Armory Cherokee Compact is a handgun designed for concealed carry, with features that make it an ideal choice for those seeking protection in a small package. The Cherokee Compact has an overall length of 6.8 inches and a height of 4.5 inches, making it small enough to fit comfortably in the palm of most hands, yet not so small as to compromise the shooter's control over the firearm.

The Cherokee Compact comes with a four-inch, cold-hammer-forged barrel with a 1:10 twist rate.

The slide serrations are deep and wide, making it easy to manipulate the slide and clear any malfunctions. The slide features a cocking indicator that shows when the gun is cocked and ready to fire. A loaded chamber indicator is also present, giving an added layer of safety against accidents due to negligent handling.

Francolin Arms Puma Combo Review

Introduction

The Francolin Arms Puma Combo is an impressive, semi-automatic shotgun package, specifically designed for hunters and others who desire a more unique and authentic hunting experience. This shotgun package is composed of two components, namely a F.A.T. (Francolin Arms Technologies) Puma semi-automatic shotgun and a complimenting Scorpion pump-action rifle. Both of these firearms are built to the highest standards ensuring reliability, accuracy, and performance. Let's take a closer look at the Puma shotgun as well as the Scorpion rifle and discover why we feel so positively about this shotgun package.

Puma Semi-Automatic Shotgun

From the start, the Puma semi-automatic shotgun stands out as an eye-catching firearm, especially if you are looking for an unassuming shotgun with great quality. The frame of the Puma is made of reinforced fiberglass-filled composite and comes with a black finish, which may not be the most eye-catching but definitely gets the job of being reliable and durable done. The barrel of the Puma is made of cold hammer forged steel with a matte black finish and is 18.6in in length. This length is great for home-defense, as well as knocking down clay pigeon discs. The shotgun features a 5+1 capacity and is fitted with a front sight bead, making it easy to accurately hit your target. Although the Puma does not offer any adjustable features such as adjustable recoil, the 12-inch stock, combined with the overall design of the firearm, makes it feel comfortable in the hands of the shooter.

The operation of the Puma is reliable and stays true to the traditional function of a semi-automatic shotgun. The Puma utilizes an inertia drive system and the convenient ambidextrous dual extractors make it easy to quickly cycle shells and maintain a steady stream of fire. Furthermore, the Puma's action is smoother to operate, which is great if you plan on shooting from the hip and want to reduce muzzle-lift. Width and height of the Puma is comparable to other competing semi-automatic shotguns, making the Puma an ideal choice for home-defense or shooting trips.

Scorpion Pump-Action Rifle

Complimenting the Puma is the Scorpion pump-action rifle. This firearm not only provides more stopping power to the combo but also adds an extra layer of versatility. The Scorpion is crafted from milled carbon steel and is elaborately decorated with a browned matte finish.

The barrel of the Scorpion rifle is 18in in length and is the perfect length for home-defense and shooting trips. The Scorpion is capable of accommodating 3+1 rounds and is fitted with an adjustable rear sight bead. The cheek-pad of the rifle is slightly raised which makes it easier for the shooter to acquire targets. The Scorpion also features a cross-button safety mechanism, making it safe and easier to keep your firearm in check. Unlike the Puma, the Scorpion is adjustable for the shooter's preferred recoil with an adjustable gas regulator, which will help reduce kickback significantly.

The operation of the Scorpion is straightforward and smooth. This pump-action rifle is equipped with an action spring ejector system and an ambidextrous single-slide cocking handle but it does feature a slightly longer cycle than other comparably sized rifles. The Scorpion rifle has fixed sling mounts and a hinged butt-stock, which makes this firearm comfortable to handle and easy to transport.

Conclusion

The Francolin Arms Puma Combo is an excellent shotgun package. The Puma semi-automatic shotgun and the Scorpion pump-action rifle both exude quality and boast smooth operations. The Puma is light enough to be handled without effort and is great for home-defense and hunting trips, while the accompanying Scorpion is a reliable and capable rifle that adds versatility and stopping-power to the combination. The Francolin Arms Puma Combo goes above and beyond to provide a unique and reliable hunting experience.

Pros:

1. The Francolin Arms Puma Combo is a lightweight and reliable setup that makes a well-rounded gun for hunting and target shooting.

2. It features a precision-machined alloy frame and a functional single-action trigger system that provide smooth operation.

3. The barrels are interchangeable, making it easy to switch between different calibers or barrel lengths.

4. The adjustable buttstock allows for personal customization to fit each shooter's preference.

Cons:

1. This combo set is expensive, making it unaffordable for some budget-conscious shooters.

2. The stock design may not be suitable for larger shooters due to its short length.

3. Some reports of malfunctions with the bolt movement have been observed.

4. The frame is not as strong as the barrel, making it vulnerable to breaking from heavy impact or abuse.

FRANCOLIN ARMS PUMA COMBO is a great option for anyone looking for an affordable, reliable, and durable shotgun. It is an excellent choice for sport shooting, hunting, and home defense. Those looking for a gun to operate as a tactical firearm should look elsewhere, as this particular gun does not allow for much customization or modification.

When it comes to the rifle world, one of the hottest topics of conversation, over the last few years, has been the CMMG Dissent AR-15. This rifle has been lauded and praised by many firearms enthusiasts as one of the most reliable and accurate AR-style rifles available on the market today. With a growing reputation for quality and performance, it is no wonder why this rifle has become so popular.

The Dissent, at its core, is a standard mil-spec AR-15. However, CMMG has put a lot of thought and care into making sure the rifle is as reliable and accurate as possible. They have done this by using high-quality components and paying attention to every detail of the design and assembly process. This has resulted in a rifle that is often considered one of the most reliable and accurate direct-impingement AR-15 on the market.

As you can imagine, the CMMG Dissent has many features that set it apart from the rest. Let’s go over some of them. The first standout feature of the Dissent is its unique barrel. CMMG went with a mid-length gas system and a 416R stainless steel barrel with a rifling twist rate of 1:8. This ensures that the rifle will be able to shoot consistently and accurately, even with heavy grain bullets.

Next, the rifle also features a free-floating handguard. This allows for better cooling, increased accuracy, and faster follow-up shots. The handguard is also slim and lightweight, making it ideal for shooting in close quarters. Additionally, the handguard is made from light-weight aluminum and has a hard-coat anodized finish to help protect it from wear and tear.

Another noteworthy feature of the Dissent is its ergonomics. The rifle features an ambidextrous bolt release and magazine catch, allowing for quicker reloads and improved control over the rifle. The stock is also adjustable, allowing the shooter to customize the fit for their individual physique. The pistol grip also features a comfortable contour that helps reduce fatigue over extended shooting sessions. 

When it comes to accuracy, the Dissent does not disappoint. It features a heavy-duty, match-grade trigger that is adjustable from 3 to 5.5 pounds. This ensures a smooth and crisp trigger pull that helps to promote accuracy in any situation. Furthermore, the Dissent utilizes CMMG’s Accu-Tite tensioning system. This system ensures that the barrel and receiver are perfectly in alignment with one another, which results in a rifle that is incredibly accurate and reliable.

Finally, we have to mention the CMMG Dissent’s most notable feature—its unique barrel length. In addition to the midrange gas system, the Dissent features a unique barrel length of 16.5 inches. This shorter length is extremely versatile, and it ensures that the rifle is appropriate for all kinds of shooting applications. The barrel length is also optimal for traversing through tight spaces, as it prevents the barrel from catching on objects.

Overall, the CMMG Dissent AR-15 is the perfect rifle for the shooter looking for a reliable and accurate AR-style rifle. While it may not have the same range and power as some of the more expensive options on the market, the CMMG Dissent is certainly capable of fulfilling its purpose.
