It used to be that if you wanted an optic that you could trust to shoot at 1,000 yards or more, you had to shell out a lot of money, for both the rifle and the optics. Reticle options, power options, or frankly even the chance to choose between MIL or MOA were few and …
The Burris XTR II 5-25X50 riflescope was designed with the Tactical/Competitive shooter and serious plinker in mind. Stars? I personally don’t do stars, especially when it comes to optics. I truly believe that optics are personal to the operator. Everyone is different, especially these days. Giving this 4 or 5 stars isn’t going to make this, or any, …

Trijicon was in many ways the first company to bring a red dot to market that could handle the abuse of being slide mounted for military, police or sport shooting applications. The initial type 1 RMRs (ruggedized miniature reflex) saw extensive military use as a secondary optic on everything from rifles to medium machineguns. For …

If you haven’t noticed already, the Holosun 510c is everywhere! Its a super popular reflex sight that straddles the line of price and quality. A number of our writers own either the HS510C (red dot) or HE510C-GR (green dot) models and so we asked each of them to test it out and write their thoughts. …
The LPVO (low power variable optic) market has exploded in the last few years. One of the relative new comers to the market is SwampFox Optics. Today we’re reviewing the Swampfox Arrowhead LPVO 1-6x. The company was founded on the 4th of July 2018 in Colorado. Their name was derived from a Revolutionary War hero, …
When firearm people hear the name Bushnell, their thoughts usually go to small Banner scopes that are typically on rifles from the 70s and 80s. Throughout the years, however, Bushnell has made several moves in an effort to modernize its rifle scope lineup. The Bushnell Forge 4.5-27×50 was no exception with its massive magnification range …
Aside from the crazy politics and constant attacks on the 2nd Amendment that we all hold near and dear, we live in what I believe to be the golden era of firearms technology! Who would have thought we would have so many quality optics to choose from, whether for hunting, practical shooting, or self-defense. Many …
The Elephant Gun is a massive rifle designed to take down large game, such as elephants, as its name suggests. These guns were typically used by big game hunters in Africa during the Victorian era.
