(POPS)MK2P by Gunfighter Design




As a seasoned Alaskan hunting guide, I need reliable and high-quality tools to get the job done right, and the Gunfighters Design Knife exceeded my expectations. During my recent hunting season, I used the Professional Outdoorsman Precision Skinner (POPS) MK2 for everything from cutting packages to breaking down meat, and it performed flawlessly. This knife is truly a game-changer.

Crafted from CPM 3v, the POPS MK2 is CNC ground and hand finished to perfection. The Gunfighter Design DTR (double thumb relief) adds precision control during delicate work and extra leverage during tough tasks. The functional glass breaker hilt is a unique and valuable addition, designed to aid in automotive rescue operations.

The POPS MK2 has several standout features, including heavy jimping, a harmonica back, and a sculpted G10 or micarta handle. These design elements offer excellent grip and control, even in wet conditions. The handle scales are attached with swaged hollow titanium pins, providing smooth holes for lanyards or lashing.

The POPS MK2 has a 3.5-inch blade and an overall length of 8 inches, making it perfectly balanced and designed for maximum performance. With consecutive serial numbers starting from zero, you can be confident that you’re getting a top-quality tool that is built to last.

In conclusion, the Gunfighters Design Knife is a must-have for any serious outdoorsman or anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality everyday carry knife. As an experienced guide and outdoor enthusiast, I highly recommend the POPS MK2 for its exceptional performance, durability, and design.

Putting Mossberg’s New Optic-Ready 500 Turkey to the Test

The Optic-Ready 500 Turkey is one of three new pump-action shotguns from Mossberg. Red dots sights have been used on shotguns in 3-gun competition for decades and I know turkey hunters that put red dots on top of their turkey guns years ago as well, but Mossberg has raised the bar by lowering the red dot down into the receiver of the Optics-Ready 500 Turkey. Mossberg milled, drilled, and tapped the model 500 receiver to allow a small red dot optic to sit at almost the same height as the ventilated rib. I can see the fiber optic front sight in the window of the Holosun EPS I installed on the 500 Turkey 20 gauge.

TAKE THE SHOT?: Black Death In The Brush

It was late in the afternoon when it happened; the buffalo we’d been tracking for hours suddenly materialized in a brushy patch some 150 yards away. We’d been hunting all day in brush full of nothing, and then suddenly it was full of buffalo – all bulls and all looking huge like dump trucks on a residential city street. One bull in particular stared us down, his head lowered, glaring at us from underneath his massive brows. It’s that bull my PH (Professional Hunter) told me to shoot, setting the quintessential African shooting sticks up for me with a real sense of urgency. I laid my rifle across the sticks and stared back at the buffalo through the scope. There was a medium-thin screen of leaves and twigs obscuring him. My finger found the trigger…

Never Miss Again Part 1: Trigger Control

My first shooting experience was with a Benjamin .177 pellet rifle. Its pump had fallen off a generation earlier and was repaired with a bent nail in place of the missing pin. The rear sight was also lost to history. This rifle taught me two valuable lessons. First, I needed to get as close as possible to my target to improve my chances of hitting it. Second, I learned the importance of consistently placing my cheek on the stock the same way every time. I later graduated to a single-shot .22 bolt-action rimfire rifle that my grandfather used during the Depression. According to his journal, a squirrel was worth just one penny more than a .22 bullet. Missing was not an option for him.
