Anybody got recommendations about what the best gun magazines would be? There's a lot out there and I don't want to subscribe to all of them. Anybody subscribe to any that they think are good.

American Rifleman (through the NRA) is a pretty good read!
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

The current class of the field in hunting magazines, as opposed to shooting magazines, is Sports Afield.

I get a few mags from NRA and NGOA, but I get my most useful information form websites, blogs, youtube, and personal conversation. The mags a nice for the crapper, but not generally informative and much more a form of advertisement.

I get the NRA Hunter publication but my favorites are the Wolfe Publishing offerings; Handloader, Hunter, & Rifle.

They are all just shills for advertising anymore. I always skip to the historical gun articles. I am still holding a grudge with Guns and Ammo for giving that POS jamomatic Remington 597 a rave review when I was a teenager. $139 was a lot of money when you are 15 years old.

The magazines try to be everything to everybody. I'm not a big history guy and most of the gun writers wear me out. Their tests are always positive, and not true. This being said. I let all mine expire except "GUNS" Magazine. They are pretty good
