Gun Mart Magazine

17 July 2025

This month’s Gun Mart is bursting with must-read reviews, hands-on gear tests, and practical advice for shooters of all interests. We open with Best on Test, where our team takes a closer look at a selection of interesting products currently available. Then it’s Five in Focus, which this time highlights a variety of top-performing pellets, suitable whether you are plinking in the garden or aiming for precision on the range. Over in the airgun section, Mark Camoccio puts several models through their paces. He examines the Remington Mammoth, a multi-shot PCP that combines good looks with reliable performance out to 40 yards. He also tests the Rainson Edge-X, a bullpup packed with features and practical potential, and revisits the classic Walther CP88 CO2 pistol to see how it stands up today. Rounding out the section, Mark explores the premium Taipan Veteran II Tactical, while Paul Austin reviews Garmin’s impressive Xero C1 Pro chronograph. Our field cutlery feature brings together some of the latest blades for your toolkit. In firearms, Pete Moore shares his experience with Uberti’s faithful Winchester 1885 Low Wall reproduction, and Jules Whicker gives his verdict on Pixfra’s dual-focus Sirius S650D thermal monocular. Chris Parkin tests Bergara’s Wilderness HMR in .300 PRC and FX’s .30 calibre Leopard, while Mark Underwood focuses on brass trimming tools. Meanwhile, Bruce Potts thoroughly tests the Mossberg Maverick 88 pump-action, assesses Eley’s Olympic Blue cartridges, and Rob Speed revisits Beretta’s superb 694 Sporting.
