Summary

In This Hour:

-- Ryan Muckenhirn, from Vortex Optics, joins Tom in his appreciation of the .338-06 cartridge. They talk about why they gravitate to "orphaned" cartridges and how to shoot super lightweight rifles.

-- Is there a "perfect" scope for hunting rifles? Of course not, but there is a category of scopes that combine practicality with reasonable size and weight.

-- The Ruger RXM pistol was designed for self defense and fun, but at least one shooter now uses it for competition.
