Umarex Octane Airgun / Pellet Gun Review
2013 introduced us to a lot of new products. One of the featured products from Umarex at the 2013 SHOT show was their new Umarex Octane.

Gamo Little Cat Video Review
Video Transcript The lil’ cat takes a departure from gamo’s use of composite and incorporates an ambidextrous wood stock and steel barrel.
