Running while overweight is hard and can take a toll on a person’s feet, knees, shins, lower back and hips. Here is this week’s question:Stew, what is your advice for heavier athletes running for their cardio activity or doing nonimpact cardio? I am 6’2”, 260, and looking to lose weight.

Firearms are tools, and like most tools they’re not likely to be in use 100-percent of the time. For example, consider how construction workers and tradesmen stow their tools on tool belts. In a similar way, holsters exist to provide a place to keep handguns which aren’t in use. But, what about long guns like carbines and shotguns? These guns are obviously too big to stow in a holster. You don’t always want to put your rifle on the ground, especially if you need to keep moving. This is where a sling comes in. While long gun slings and carry…
Quality firearms have been associated with Finland for well more than a century. Prior to the merger of Sako and Tikkakoski, both companies wandered in and out of manufacturing arms and other mechanical items in order to keep the lights on during numerous wars and economic downturns. Nokia/Valmet brought Sako and a newly-renamed Tikka under one umbrella in 1983, steering these storied gunmakers to the end of the 20th century. Beretta took the wheel in 2000, and by all accounts, fans of high-quality, bolt-action rifles have been reaping the rewards ever since. As a key player in this conglomerate, Tikka…
