The saying in real estate goes something like “Location, location, location”. In most industries, it’s more like “Timing, timing, timing”. Such has been the case with more than a few products by Vortex Optics, a Wisconsin headquartered manufacturer.

The last 10 years have seen a massive increase in both the number of kits and the variety of firearms they’re available for. Defense Distributed (DefDist) is producing the Ghost Gunner […]
Hmm, man I never thought an AR would really excite me. AR 15s are great rifles, but let’s face it, are AR 15s truly exciting? I love them, and I have the collection of rifles, uppers, magazines, and even 80 percent lower jigs and 80 lower builds to prove it. They excite as much as […]
