Rifle
Custom Corner
As a kid running around the farm during the summer, I always had my uncle’s little Winchester single shot to ply the fields for small game. At that time it seemed every manufacturer had a rimfire rifle of some kind, so it was not uncommon for Remington to also have one of its own on the market. One of the more popular rifles was the Model 12 pump, or slide action, introduced in 1909, and for this installment of “Custom Corner,” we have one reworked and decorated to the highest degree.

British Pattern 1914 .303
When the British entered World War I, their army actually wanted to transition to a more modern rifle than its Short Magazine Lee Enfield (SMLE) chambered for the likewise obsolete .303 British cartridge, which originated in the late 1880s as a black-powder cartridge.

Mossberg MVP Patrol 5.56 NATO
Shortly after Mossberg announced the MVP (Mossberg Varmint Predator) rifle in 2011, I was invited to spend three days in central Oregon shooting ground squirrels and hunting coyotes with several model variations chambered in 5.56 NATO and .204 Ruger. I fired in excess of 1,500 rounds through several rifles that were accurate and very interesting.

No serious argument can be waged against the reality that a rifleman with real talent, whether natural or hard-earned through training, can shoot exceptionally well at targets of unknown distances with about any rifle and cartridge combination, given a little time to work out any minor kinks.
