It’s a question that comes up in gun groups on a regular basis: what’s the best AR-15 scopes under X dollars? And just as regularly comes the stream of replies, most forgetting a minor detail beyond their own bias one way or another: application. What’s the intended use of said affordably priced optic?

By Joe Grine and Tony T. Tactical slings have come a long way since the Vietnam-era field expedients that we used in the Army as late as the early 1990s. One of the hottest slings on the market is the Sly Tactical Quick Conversion Sling (“QCS”). While not offering “new” technology per se, the QCS […]
In 2017, Air Armor Tech released its innovative line of inflatable rifle cases. These offer the same level of protection as a hard case, but in a lightweight package that rolls up into a sleeping-bag-sized package. I’ve had this T&E sample for 18 months, which is longer than we usually take to test products, but […]
By Anner So there I was, minding my own business, searching for a 10mm pistol caliber carbine (PCC) for less than Kriss Vector street price. I’d had my fill of sourcing parts for an AR pistol build, only to find that reliably feeding 10mm into an AR-15 platform is a giant Dremel-abusing PITA. Upon Stumbling […]

Last February I reviewed a prototype Simtek Duo, and loved it. Well, production versions have been shipping for a couple months now and it seemed like a good idea to follow up and review one, since this is what customers are actually receiving. Plus there have been a handful of updates and refinements along the […]
Choosing a holster that isn’t just comfortable and well-made but is right for you – and properly made – is a process. It requires not only deciding how you want to carry your handgun, but knowing the ins and outs of drawing and re-holstering. It requires understanding what makes a holster safe and secure. So […]
Pump action shotguns are great. They’re powerful, simple to use, reliable and relatively inexpensive. There are, however, some downsides to most entry level pump guns. Some of the same things that make those guns so inexpensive make them fit the shooter poorly and are generally unattractive. Boyds Gunstocks is looking to improve both of those […]
Most any hearing protection muffs you can buy these days will do at least a passable job of protecting your ears. Hearing loss and tinnitus are nothing to mess with. And the advent of cheaper electronics making muffs that let you hear what’s going on around you between gunshots and carry on a conversation has […]
While I was at Academy Sports grabbing some ammo, I noticed the Real Avid Bore Boss hanging on the shelf. Bore cleaning ropes like Hoppe’s more famous BoreSnake are simple, quick and effective ways of cleaning your barrel. What really makes The Real Avid Bore Boss stand out is its packaging. The cleaning rope wraps […]
In the realm of those who loves guns, the concept of long-range shooting tends to have wildly varying definitions. To some shooters “long range” means anything beyond 250 yards; to others it means 1000 yards and beyond. And, of course, finding the space to make truly long range shots can be difficult for many gun […]
When Jeremy originally posted about the C4 Precision Folding Sights by Ultradyne, I could hear the “ERMUGERD!” in his voice. I’m sure he could hear the “Get off my damn lawn, hurumph!” in mine. Over the last few months, I’ve certainly done the most amount of shooting over the most amount of time for the […]
