Iron Sights: Are they still relevant to you?

Iron Sights: Are they still relevant to you?

by Dylan Saunders | Special Hunting Weapons & Tactics™ - The Center of Gravity for Tactical and Long Range Hunting, Wilderness Tactical Hunter - Dylan Saunders

You have sights on your rifle, and you may not even know how to use them. Aperture sights (receiver, peep, ghost ring, tang, bullseye, whatever name you know them by) have been in use since the 1400s when some unknown marksman or armorer drilled a hole in a piece of...
Retro Tactical Caribou Hunt with the Swiss K31 Carbine

Retro Tactical Caribou Hunt with the Swiss K31 Carbine

by Dylan Saunders | Wilderness Tactical Hunter - Dylan Saunders

Slowly, careful to avoid spooking the suspicious old cows in the caribou herd in front of me, I unzipped my assault pack and slid my hand in. My fingers closed over . . . . nothing. Disgusted with myself, I shoved my rifle to the side and started crawling through the...
Accuracy and Audacity: The Retro Tactical Swiss K31 Review

Accuracy and Audacity: The Retro Tactical Swiss K31 Review

by Dylan Saunders | Wilderness Tactical Hunter - Dylan Saunders

Precision. Boldness. Two distinguishing characteristics of the Swiss K31 bolt action rifle. Having spent time as a sniper and a cavalryman, I appreciate both. The two are entwined in one of my favorite stories. Before beginning this K31 review, let’s talk about...
6mm ARC vs. 6.5 Grendel!

6mm ARC vs. 6.5 Grendel!

by Dylan Saunders | Wilderness Tactical Hunter - Dylan Saunders

When I heard rumors of a new 6mm cartridge from Hornady, I was intrigued. Yeah, these days we see a lot of “new” cartridges that just duplicate the ballistics of existing cartridges. They offer little more than a shiny new name and slick marketing. I’ve done my...
Negative Temps and Alaskan  Ptarmigan | Cold-Weather Testing the Remington V3

Negative Temps and Alaskan Ptarmigan | Cold-Weather Testing the Remington V3

by Dylan Saunders | Wilderness Tactical Hunter - Dylan Saunders

My Saskatchewan duck hunting experience with the Remington V3 Waterfowl Pro shotgun and Sure Shot Game Calls convinced me that it is an ideal shotgun for hunting with gloves. And since most bird hunting opportunities involve wet or cold, or both, that makes the V3 an...
Ducks and Prejudice in Canada – How Remington’s V3 Waterfowl Pro Altered My Perspective

Ducks and Prejudice in Canada – How Remington’s V3 Waterfowl Pro Altered My Perspective

by Dylan Saunders | Wilderness Tactical Hunter - Dylan Saunders

“Unless you spend thousands, they just don’t make shotguns that balance like they used to,” I said, snapping the walnut stock to my cheek and shoulder as the bead magically aligned with my intended point of aim. The satin glow of the thinning 1930s...
Can Shooting Cause Brain Damage? The Science, the Bad News, and the Solution

Can Shooting Cause Brain Damage? The Science, the Bad News, and the Solution

by Dylan Saunders | Wilderness Tactical Hunter - Dylan Saunders

Personal protective equipment is necessary for many activities. We wear seat belts when we drive, helmets when we ride. Power tools require safety glasses. Shooting and hunting require personal protective equipment, and most modern shooters faithfully don ballistic...
Alaskan Bush Lessons – Off Grid Hunting for Survival in ’70s | Part 1

Alaskan Bush Lessons – Off Grid Hunting for Survival in ’70s | Part 1

by Dylan Saunders | Wilderness Tactical Hunter - Dylan Saunders

If Henry David Thoreau traveled through time picking up Tom Sawyer and Laura Ingles on the way attend Woodstock together, we’d have a fair representation the village where I grew up. It was the ‘70s and ‘80s as I grew up in a small coastal bush village in Alaska among...
Sound Decision Making: My Two Silencers for a Dozen Guns

Sound Decision Making: My Two Silencers for a Dozen Guns

by Dylan Saunders | Wilderness Tactical Hunter - Dylan Saunders

Suppressors are exploding in popularity because they are a good idea. They were a good idea back when Theodore Roosevelt installed one on his .30-30 to avoid annoying his Long Island neighbors, and they are a good idea today. Silencers are such a good idea that in...

Why I Sold My .308 AR and You Should, Too. The True Story of What Happens When You Compare .308 vs. 6.5 Grendel

by Dylan Saunders | Wilderness Tactical Hunter - Dylan Saunders

I grew up around hunters. Not tree-stand-sitting recreational hunters dressed up like the front cover of a Cabella’s catalog, but wilderness hunters in blue jeans and flannel shirts, whose families went without if their hunts were unsuccessful. They were more...
