The MSBS or Modułowy System Broni Strzeleckiej (eng. Modular Small Arms System) is primed to be the next generation assault rifle for the Polish Armed forces. Designed entirely in Poland as a collaboration between the WAT (eng. Military Technical Academy) and the Łucznik Firearms Plant in Radom, this platform has seen many changes over the […]

MSPO 2013, Bor and Tor, Polish sniper rifles go bullpup

Back in 2005 the Tarnów Mechanical Plant begun work on a new generation of sniper rifles for the Polish Army. Unlike many other companies the Tarnów plant developed a Bullpup design sniper rifle family. Meet the Bor and the Tor. The anti-materiel rifle Tor chambered in .50 BMG was developed first.

Talon Horus Optics!

I am often asked, “What reticle do you use on your carbines?” and “What do you think about the Horus Optics/reticle?”. I came across the Talon Horus Optic this weekend and decided to give my views, along with my experience with the Horus reticle as a short/medium and long-range shooter. The Talon scope, and H50 […]

LMT Ergo Rifle Grip!

If you’re wanting an excellent grip for you AR, I’d have to point you to the LMT Ergo Grip. I don’t think the standard AR grip was designed for comfort one bit. In fact, it feels like they designed it for the exact opposite, huge calluses start to form on my middle finger joint over long […]

Templar Tactical Firearms Suppressors!

I know we’ve done an article on the Templar Tactical Suppressors a few weeks ago, but I don’t think it was done enough justice. The featured video perfectly describes the effectiveness of the Templar Tactical and how it works from the CEO himself during an interview during the Bushnell Brawl which I attended in earlier […]

OBR (Optimized Battle Rifle)!

In the precision rifle community, there are a ton of platforms that one can choose to run, whether you are a competition precision shooter, or a tactical precision shooter/sniper. Operating as a sniper with the 75th Ranger Regiment, my platform of choice was the SR-25 MK 11 MOD 0. It easily held a 1 MOA […]

A Warrior’s Mindset!

Many of us find ourselves on the range going over shooting drills, or in our living rooms conducting dry fires, week after week, knowing or thinking we will be able to use what we’ve been training for if the time presents itself. Joining the military and deploying at the age of 18 to Iraq in […]

While attending the National Guard 2013 sniper competition this weekend and meeting up with some friends, I met up with Tony Burkes, the CEO of TAB Gear. I’ve known Tony for some time know and have always loved the products he brings to the precision rifle community. I knew Tony had been in the works […]
