Springfield got into the precision-rifle world with their Waypoint 2020 a couple of years ago. They started with their own action and then attached quite the list of existing parts. Their action uses a dual-lugged bolt that glides down EDM-cut raceways.

Christensen Arms produces a match-grade hand-lapped stainless-steel barrel and then wraps it in carbon fiber. On the MPR, the result is a stiff, lightweight, accurate tube.

We first examined some 6.5 PRC rifles in the November 2020 issue. We were very impressed with the Bergara Premier Mountain 2.0 rifle at that time and found nothing in the new MgLite that changed our mind.

The Sidekick’s switchable cylinders are quite an innovation. The double-action trigger press is nothing to write home about, while the single-action trigger press is easily the best of the test. The pistol is accurate enough for most uses. We found sight regulation to be slightly off, but it would have been easily fixed.

We really liked this inexpensive but useful revolver. Accuracy is good to excellent, and the sights are the best of the test. The ability to mount a red-dot sight is very interesting. This is a lot of gun for the money.

The Wrangler is a well-made handgun. There is no faulting its reliability. The Wrangler Birdshead handles well and is fast into action. The problem is the sights. The sights simply fade out and are difficult to see, making its practical accuracy the poorest of the three revolvers tested.

The form of this pistol closely mimics that of a 1911 and, as such, the early versions have nice crisp edges on the slide and frame.

S&W engineers put some thought into the bottom end of the CSX. Instead of polymer used for the Shield frame, the CSX frame is made of aluminum alloy with a matte-black finish.

Reader Walter asks about his home state’s recent gun-ban law. Yeah, it’s a doozie. Reader Ron wonders if we might “Equalize” an upcoming test with a Walther PDP. And more lever-action reviews?
