Although the Warne name is best known for scope rings, the company has branched out into other products, including an all-metal bipod. The U.S.-made Skyline Precision Bipod, machined from aluminum and then hard-coat anodized, weighs in at 16.5 ozs. Once attached to a Picatinny or Weaver rail with the locking throw lever, a thumbwheel secures the ball-and-socket fitting that allows for 22° of cant and 44° of tilt. Notched legs can be deployed quickly and, with the press of a lever, retracted either incrementally or all at once to adjust the unit’s height from 6.9" to 9.1". Thumb buttons allow the legs to be rotated to locking notches at the 0°, 45° or 90° positions. Removable rubber feet can be replaced with optional spikes or claws, and 3" leg extensions and a sling swivel accessory rail are available. For more on this $380 stability aid, please visit warnescopemounts.com.

Why the Murder Rate Quickly Fell to a Likely Historic Low

If the gun-control Left is to be believed, then the murder rate in the U.S. should be going up. After all, gun sales and ownership rates have been rising for the last few decades and anti-gun groups claim that gun ownership is the cause of violent crime. This, of course, is nonsense.
