I grew up in a family full of Veterans and one of my favorite memories was heading to coffee with my Grandpa Jim and all the other WW2 Vets in town. Hearing the way they bullshitted with each other left a strong impression. Deja Vu set in once I joined the Army, as hearing a group […]

SuperSetCA brings us to his range once again with his famed cinematography skills as he takes a critical look at one of Trijicon’s latest offerings, the Trijicon Miniature Rifle Optic (MRO). Trijicon has long produced excellent combat worthy optics such as the original Trijicon reflex sight, the VCOG and of-course the ACOG. Trijicon earlier released […]
There is enough difference in performance between the 5.56 and .223 to warrant some consideration if looking at the two for a specific purpose. In some cases, you will want to be very picky about the type of round you are shooting based on your desired external and terminal ballistic performance. You may find that you need a certain type […]
