Vortex

Vortex Spitfire AR Prism Scope with Bullet Drop Compensator (BDC) Dial

Vincent and I have been using the Spitfire Prism scope with great success lately, it’s a quick-handling red dot scope, that doesn’t give a lot of people starburst effects like some red dots do.  It has a glass-etched DRT (Dual Ring Tactical) reticle that can be used with or without the red/green illumination like a […]

UH-1 Holographic Sight by Vortex Optics

I have featured the Vortex Optics UH-1 on a few articles and this is my final review on it. It’s badass and I can’t imagine switching to something else… end of review. Just kidding. The UH-1 has been adopted by anyone and everyone that can get their hands on it as the go-to CQC/CQB optic. […]

Vortex Crossfire: For close-in work

Vortex Crossfire: For close-in work

Vortex Optics has what are among some of the most often discussed (and sometimes polarizing) optics you can find on the web.  While their supporters point out the company’s cost-to-quality ratio, excellent warranty and successful track record, their detractors mainly seem to find fault in some of their products being made overseas.  In my experience testing […]

CMMG Banshee

CMMG Banshee | .300 BLK Lead-slinger

As CMMG passes 16 years in the firearms industry, it’s clear that their company has seen its share of ups and downs in the market.  Between the panic buying days of 2008 to the easy-going “salad days” of 2018, much has changed.  So too the company has changed over the years, but only for the […]

A Private Military Contractor's Short Range Loadout

A Private Military Contractor’s Short Range Loadout

Things change and so does your gear. With the way the defense industry is nowadays somebody or someone always has something better. For instance, I have dropped a lot of gear out of my kit and added a few pieces of gear. This is what happens over time as we adapt in the dark world […]

Vortex UH-1 AMG

Vortex Razor AMG UH-1 | Holographic Greatness

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.  While the Vortex UH-1 holographic sight had been in development for some time, performance issues by holographic […]

Vortex Optics Viper PST 1-6x24 Gen II

Vortex Optics Viper PST 1-6×24 Gen II

When talking optics, Vortex has always been hands down my favorite. The quality, the craftsmanship, the price point and lastly the customer service is hands down the best in the market. When you buy your first Vortex optic you immediately feel like family from the jump and that’s the best feeling in the world. When […]

Red Dot on Your Sight Fuzzy? This is Why and How You Can Fix It

Red Dot on Your Sight Fuzzy? This is Why and How You Can Fix It

Many shooters see an irregular shape of a fuzzy dot when using red dot optics. Chances are, the image is perfectly round and you have a mild astigmatism. Not to get all sciencey on you, astigmatism simply means your eye isn’t perfectly round. Almost everyone has it to some degree and it affects what you […]

Vortex 1-6x24 Strike Eagle Optic: One of the best mid-level budget optics

Vortex 1-6×24 Strike Eagle Optic: One of the best mid-level budget optics

The Vortex 1×6 Strike Eagle is easily one of the best mid-level budget optics out there. it’s a Vortex. it’s perfect for CQB and medium range shooting. it’s versatile as all get out. If I’m going to be in the mountains with a chance of running into CQB situations I don’t know if I would […]

Vortex Venom 3 MOA Red Dot optic

Vortex Venom 3 MOA Red Dot optic

While some guns deserve iron sights: the majority of rifles, shotguns (and even a number of handguns) benefit from the use of optics.  There is a red dot or scope for every application.  With every base covered, how do manufacturers keep pushing the market forward?  Well, usually by making their optics lighter, tougher, more power-efficient […]
