Posted on March 14, 2016 by Jim Chapman

The Compatto is a semi-bullpup rifle from the merged design team of Brococks and Daystate, that is loaded with new technology. If you’ve read this blog for long, you know I have a marked preference for compact hunting guns, and the Compatto is certainly compact.

Prepping the Compatto!

Posted on March 2, 2016 by Jim Chapman

I’ll be leaving at the end of the week for a few hunts spread over a dozen days all around the great state of Texas. I’ll be doing hunts for a black buck, hogs, predators, and rabbits using several new rifles.

Posted on June 27, 2015 by Jim Chapman

Thoughts on Bullpups I was down in my basement range this morning shooting a few of the bullpups I either own or have on loan.

Posted on January 15, 2015 by Jim Chapman

Compact Hunting Rifles: Stepping Out With The Brocock Concept Elite

Posted on November 30, 2014 by Jim Chapman

OK, so it’s no big secrete amongst those that know me, I’ve got a thing for compact hunting rigs.

My Favorite Stocks

Posted on June 14, 2013 by Jim Chapman

When evaluating a rifle for the field, the stock is one of the main features to consider. It doesn’t matter how powerful or the inherently accurate the gun, if the stock is not right the full potential of the gun cannot be realized. I’ll shoulder the rifle and look at it while getting the feel, … Continue reading »
