MSPO 2013, VHS the Croatian Assault Rifle

At this year’s MSPO, Polish manufacture HS Product presented the new Croatian Assault Rifle. Apart from pistols (in the US sold as Springfield XD) little was known about rifle manufacturing at HS Product. We were shown two models, both full length army assault rifles, the earlier VHS-1 and the current VHS-2. Basic overview (note we did not […]

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 […]

The “Reaper 33” AR-15!

After talking with the guys over at Arsenal Democracy, we decided to build an AR-15 upper named “Reaper 33”! Something that I take great pride in, is the fact that the “Reaper 33″ is not only made from high quality material, but it is manufactured here in the US by former and active duty Special […]

Blaser R93 LRS2 Sniper Rifle!

During a SOFREP radio interview with myself and Brandon Webb, the topic came up about sniper rifles. Brandon mentioned the Blaser R93 LRS2 sniper rifle after I stated that I am getting a custom sniper rifle built (.308 on a Rock Solid Stock). Not fully recognizing what he had just said until much later, I had […]

The ACR (Adaptive Combat Rifle)!

The ACR (Adaptive Combat Rifle)! The featured picture is of myself with the ACR rifle. I had a great time operating the weapon over the course of 17 days recently and thought I’d write an honest no BS review. Pros After operating the SCAR weapons system in the 75th Ranger Regiment for some time, I […]

The FN SCAR!

Before the FN SCAR hit the major airways, my unit/battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment performed testing on these rifles while deployed to Afghanistan. The SCAR is an acronym for, Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle. The rifle is categorized into two families, the SCAR-L/light version and the SCAR-H/heavy version. The SCAR-L is chambered in the 5.56×45 […]

Mcrees Chassis G5 Folder Review

I wrote a series a few months back about building a custom precision rifle. In the series I highlighted a few good stock options that I consider to be some of the very best on the market. Among those mentioned was the Mcrees Chassis by Mcrees Precision. I was so impressed with the Mcrees Chassis […]

The 14.9mm SOP Extra Long Range Rifle

The 14.9mm SOP is an incredible extra long range rifle project that a number of people at Snipers Hide have been collaborating on. The huge rifle fires a very long and heavy projectile with a high ballistic coefficient giving it extreme accuracy. It has 0.5 MOA accuracy at 3000 yards and remains supersonic out to […]

One of My Personal Favorite Bolt Action Sniper Rifles: The Blaser

Why I know that the future of guns are not “bolt action” rifles, my favorite bolt action gun would have to be the innovative straight pull action of the Blaser (owned by Sig Arms). Sniper rifles should be minimalistic. They are for hunting and don’t need to have miles of rail system or every damn […]
