Excellent Coverage Of Our Biggest And Most Beautiful State
I have loved Alaska since the first time I visited the state in 1992. I have been back many times since, and attempt to visit at least once a year. "Alaska" magazine is an excellent way to keep informed about happenings in the state, especially when you can't be there personally. The articles are well written and interesting, and focus, as you would expect, is on the breathtaking outdoors, and outdoor activities. Local history, politics, and environmental issues are also well represented, as are amusing human interest stories.

Because I am a frequent visitor, I also use the advertisements heavily. Normally I don't like ads, but the places and things I have discovered thanks to ads in "Alaska" magazine alone make the price of the subscription worthwhile.

For a witty, entertaining, and educational look at our biggest (and I think most beautiful) state, "Alaska" magazine can't be beat! ... Read more

Gray's Sporting Journal is one of the hidden gems of sporting and wildlife magazines. Consider the publication values: photographic essays (on drift boating, for example, or trap shooting in Europe) are part of every issue and are always very well done; the pages are glossy, thick and substantial; there's art (usually a painting) in the back of each issue; you'll often find a poem tucked away in its 150-plus pages; and there are fewer advertisements here than you'll see in a Field & Stream. But what makes it most difficult to send an issue to the recycling bin is the writing, which is of a depth, breadth, and quality that you will be hard-pressed to find in any other outdoor magazine. The source of this writing helps to account for its value--specifically, it comes from all corners, including university professors who find meaning in the outdoors and their interaction with it, and people who were obviously hunting and fishing long before many people were born. But no matter whether the story you're reading seems to emanate from a campfire or a classroom, the writing itself is almost always engaging. Some will find that the combination of high art and the advertisements for exclusive game ranches makes the publication feel too much like you're sipping cognac in a leather chair in your library. The writing, however, is never so stuffy, and stays firmly rooted to the outdoors that inspire it. ... Read more

Interesting reading for hunters & Fishermen
This magazine is a pleasant change from "Field & Stream" and "Outdoor life" The articles are well written and harken back to a day and age when one had time to sit by the fire and read a good story. 5 stars for writing quality. It's expensive per issue but you'll get your money's worth out of the reading time. Ad's but far fewer than those other pulp journals. ... Read more

comprehensive
Fly Fisherman is a very good general interest fly fishing magazine; that is, there's a little something for every angler. Generally featuring a coupla destination features and very thorough tactics/gear features, Fly Fisherman does a good job covering the bases. This is generally the world of trouting, but there is generally a non-trout feature as well, whether bonefishing, salmon/steelhead or some exotic species, Fly Fisherman does it's honest best. The art and illustrations are usually quite good and while the writing doesn't sparkle, it gets the job done, in a rather soldierly manner. ... Read more

NO BS
These guys are great...none of that..."this gun is great" for every review...some real surprises, like when the cheap clone is better in almost everyway then the originals that are 300 more...
They are no respectors of persons, One S&W they will love, one they will tell you to pass on.
The other thing I like is they look at aplication...for example.
44 mag Revolvers, they like the S&W 629 for normal range and light hunting...but would consider the Ruger super redhawk for heavy loads and longer distances...

Get it...it is very worth it!!

This is the first place I check
Buying a new firearm isn't cheap, and unlike products like electronics, the quality of guns are really all over the place. This magazine doesn't accept product advertising ' unlike GunWorld, Guns and Ammo, and many other mags - so lots of people see it as the 'consumer reports' of the firearms. This isn't actually true, because they don't use standardized empirical testing, but instead rely on experience and personal judgement, as well as shooting results, in making Buy, Conditional Buy, and Don't Buy recommendations.

Considering that even a 'cheap' quality gun is going to run you $500, and you might be lucky to get $350 back from a dealer if you don't like it ' getting an experts opinion before you buy is an excellent idea. If you are looking for an over-under, custom carry piece, or any other quality firearm, you can save yourself hundreds of dollars in lost resale by avoiding some of the junk out there.

When I'm looking for a new firearm for my collection, I always check here first for advice. They cover everything from buying used Mauser's to Kimber Custom Carry's, as well as bird and deer standby's like the 870 or Ruger 77. Each month usually covers 5 or so "topics", each with 3 guns or products - and the issues are conviently three-hole punched. I keep mine in a couple top shelf binders on my reloading bench for easy access. ... Read more

Amateur Tyer
I have been subscribing to this mag. for years. There is always at least one article that will teach you something you didn't know before. Photos are alway crisp and clear. Keeps you primed for Spring fishing during the cold winter.

The definitive US perodical
I've been a subscriber for 5 years and the magazine has been a great assistance to my growth as a fly tier.

The magazine has published a long series by John Betts on the history and methodology behind the sport. It has covered the "ultra realistic" school and (for me) every issue has at least 3-5 new flies or techniques (out of an average of 12-15 flies featured in each edition).

It is a quarterly and each of the four issues are much enjoyed by this reviewer. ... Read more

Exellent.
Comprehensive tactical knife magazine. Very diverse. Has information ranging from mass produced and custom knives, from folders to fixed blades, and from different sections like "Collector's corner" to stories of how people used their knives in emergency situations, at the end of every issue. Full color pictures on high quality paper grace most of the magazine; the reviews of the knives often report how the knife preformed in the field. A very useful and impressive magazine.

Very close to a perfect all-around knife magazine!
The best thing about this magazine is that is has a very strong final-user point of view of the use of knives from cooking to artic survival, from packing store to anti-terrorist operations. Writers come from all backgrounds and the reviews not only include custom and production knives but some other products knife-related like books and videos on the topic. The downside is that some times you feel like you are reading very long shopping catalog, but by all the elements mentioned before this is compensated. ... Read more
