Primary Arms 1-6 FFP with ACSS Raptor Reticle

Primary Arms 1-6 FFP with ACSS Raptor Reticle

For those not wanting to read the full review, the Primary Arms 1-6x First Focal Plane with the ACSS Raptor reticle is a marvel at the price point it is being offered. I tested both the 556 and 300 Blackout variants and they both performed identically. If you have a hunting rifle or a DMR type rifle that needs an optic it should be at the very top of your list of prospects. That being said I do…

Primary Arms Optics - Choices ... Choices ... Choices

Primary Arms Optics – Choices … Choices … Choices

Brian is busy testing a few optics from Primary Arms, and here is short update on his testing:

I am preparing a longer article on both versions of this optic, but here’s a quick look at the 7.62×39/300 version of the Primary Arms 1-6x FFP with the ACSS Raptor reticle.

The differentiator here is that this new scope has the reticle in the first focal plane. Keeping it simple that means that when…

VA Loans? REFactor Tactical has a Guide for you

VA Loans? REFactor Tactical has a Guide for you

Ask a vet which is easier to navigate – a minefield, or the VA – and you’ll see them bust out a digging knife and metal detector faster than you can say “Your bullet wounds aren’t service-related.” At least with mines, the two outcomes are pretty clear at the beginning. 

 Fortunately, REFactor Tactical does more than sell badass gear, apparel, and accessories. They’ve put together an excellent…

Suppressors from Thermal Defense Soultions

Suppressors from Thermal Defense Soultions

This week, Brian takes a look at Thermal Defense Solutions. They were exhibitors at the Big 3 Media event this past March.

I wanted to do a quick write-up on a really innovative company we saw at the Big 3 Media Event. Thermal Defense Solutions or TDS for short is a new company making suppressors. As we often hear in the industry they have their roots in aerospace manufacturing. What makes them…

Skallywag Tactical Privateer Folder

Skallywag Tactical Privateer Folder

If you’re not familiar with Skallywag Tactical then you need to educate yourself. Admittedly I am a fan and have been for some years now. It is hard not to be a fan of a pirate themed company that makes no nonsense high quality defensive blades. The Privateeris the first folder in their line up and the first that did not have a combat focused design. The knife is decidedly an EDC focused folder.…

Troy Industries Tomahawk Stock

This week, Matt Owen takes a look at Troy Industries Tomahawk SBR Stock.  This was thea beauty that Matt paired with his Oakley Chamber Range Bag.

For those stamped-shooters among us, a compact build is often a high priority. Whether you’re wanting to outfit your SVT Raptor with a tactical truck gun or you’re wanting something your old lady thinks is ‘cute’ enough to shoot, size matters; however,…

Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series Brass Dryer

Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series Brass Dryer

Last time you heard from Adam, he was giving his Pros and Cons about reloading, this week, Adam takes us on his search for a better way to dry brass, and he thinks he has found a great solution!

If you’re familiar with reloading ammo, you’re already familiar with cleaning dirty brass, and preparing spent brass cases for new primer, powder, and projectiles. For those of you who are not unfamiliar…

#Repost @matt_frosty_cpt ・・・ Hat tip to @ballistic_rt for making a video like this today..figured I’d also throw down on the internet derpshits out there as well. The other day @mjlauer03 put out a great video, showing her carry setup on body of her @glockinc 19 with a @surefire_llc x35 light, carried appendix, along with her Surefire EDCL2-T (also carried appendix). The amount of derp that came from that video got Melody to put out another video where she was performing full range of motion yoga poses...while wearing her gear...once again the wacky derpshits of the internet claimed she could only do that because of her small frame. Yeah, I’m 5’8”, 215 pounds (kinda fit, kinda fat) and the video should be pretty self explanatory.

Oakley Chamber Range Bag

This week, Matt Owen goes over is EDC Bag for his SBR.  He does into detail on the Oakley Chamber Range Bag – Enjoy!

This bus station is always the busiest, and you stand with your back to a wall watching the crowds gather and disperse. You try to passively take in everyone and see if anything stands out, and sure enough – there’s one. You know, that guy. An otherwise innocuous tennis bag is…

What are the pros and cons of reloading?

This week, Adam Barns gives us his opinion on reloading. Are you reloading today? Are you looking at heading down this road? If so, keep reading!

Although I’m newer to the reloading scene, I’m often asked by shooting friends if reloading is worth the investment. Having only produced a few hundred rounds over the last 6 months, I’m here to share some information to those looking at reloading ammo…
