One thing about it, we need not worry about the NRA magazines stealing the thunder from the commercial publishers. I highly laud the use of the five, five shot groups of the test staff but otherwise, Gawd what a sorry spiral downward for a magazine. When I first subscribed in 1964, the Rifleman was the gold standard of the industry. How many times have I heard arguments settled by someone saying, "The NRA says....". Then, it seems in a slow downward spiral, it seemed the budget for the magazine's excellent research and articles on nearly every sector of firearms interest eventually declined to puff pieces, primarily venting the author's opinions rather than the exhaustive research of such greats as Ken Waters and CE Harris just to name a couple. Sad.
