The Holosun series of optics are quite broad these days. They've become one of the more creative companies on the market with night vision and thermal overlay red dots, extremely powerful weapon lights and...

It has taken me a long time to come around to the fact that shooting tripods have a lot of utility. I started looking into getting one, and was blown away by the variety...
