Vortex Spitfire 3x: ACOG on a budget?

Vortex Spitfire 3x: ACOG on a budget?

If you’re like me, you want your AR-style carbine to be capable of engaging targets from right in front of you, all the way out to its limits (500 meters give or take). I’ve always wanted to maintain the capability of being able to shoot out to 500 meters reliably. Having qualified with iron sights […]

AMTAC Shooting: Review of FLIR Thermosight Pro PTS233

AMTAC Shooting: Review of FLIR Thermosight Pro PTS233

*Editors note: Photos and article have been shared with the permission of AMTAC Shooting.  I don’t normally get very excited about new gear.  This thermal weapons sight changed that, not because it is better than anything else out there but because it brings a useful thermal sight into working man’s prices. It is still not cheap ($2,199.00 on […]

Trijicon ACOG with Primary Arms ACSS reticle

Trijicon ACOG with Primary Arms ACSS reticle

There are few optics that have the battle-proven reliability of the Trijicon ACOG 4×32 optic. The venerable ACOG has been given a breath of new life with the ACSS reticle from Primary Arms, which allows this optics to expand its capabilities.

Nikon P-Tactical SPUR Reflex Sight

Nikon P-Tactical SPUR Reflex Sight

Nikon’s P-Tactical SPUR reflex sight is rugged enough to handle abuse and recoil on nearly any pistol, rifle or shotgun. The aluminum body measures 1.8 inches x 1.1 inches x 1 inch. SPUR weighs only 1.1-ounces but it’s designed to handle the recoil of shotgun slugs. It is covered in a matte-black finish and is IPX7 […]

Warne MSR XSKEL1 Gen 2: The Ultimate AR scope mount

Warne MSR XSKEL1 Gen 2: The Ultimate AR scope mount

So I had a problem. I had a new rifle, with a style of handguard I’d never used and the hankering for a good scope. The rifle was my standard AR lower with the Garrow Arms roller delayed upper receiver. The 17 HMR is an outstanding round for hunting squirrels, rabbits, and other pests. I knew I […]

Photo of the Day: Working with my Night Optic Devices (NOD’s)

Pictured above is some NOD’s training in Virginia. We were working with those that “don’t exist” in pitch black darkness, 35-degree weather, all wet and all cold. If you want to be the best, train in the worst conditions so that you’re the best in the best conditions and in the worst. Training in the […]

Tract Optics: Toric Ultra HD Scope 4-20×50

Tract Optics: Toric Ultra HD Scope 4-20×50

The market for rifle optics is particularly crowded when it comes to red dot style optics and scopes that offer 1-6X magnification. The other end of the market, the long range hunters and sport shooters are less crowded and ripe for an upstart company like Tract Optics to come in and shake up the market. […]

Nikon LaserForce Bino’s/Rangefinder: Efficiency in motion

Whether one is a competitive, recreational or professional shooter or a hunter looking to put meat on the table, one common trait we all share is looking for the next advantage.  Whether its slightly more accurate ammo, a tougher optic or better camouflage, an edge is always sought after.  After spending some significant time with […]
