In today’s day and age with many people “building” or assembling AR’s out of random parts kits, reliable cycling can get tricky, especially when adding in suppressors.

For those who use a rail-mounted front sight or a visible/IR laser attached to a rail, rigidity and return to zero play a huge factor in getting accurate shot placement downrange.

Radian coined their micro compensator as the AFTERBURNER and their barrel the RAMJET.

While some thermal is better than others, the type of device makes a difference as well.

Recently Brownell’s released their own spin on Eugene Stoner and Arthur Miller’s original AR-18/180 rifle which they called the BRN-180. After widespread desire for a shorter and lighter version, Brownell’s delivered with the newest iteration; the BRN180s.

You can’t shoot what you can’t see, and identification can literally make the difference between life and death.

For those who have had the opportunity to shoot somewhere besides a public gun range, you have most likely scrounge around looking for targets minutes before leaving. My homemade steel targets would constantly need to be repaired or replaced and would allow a dangerous amount of spalling to fly in all directions. That is why back in 2018 I started researching steel targets.

Long story short, vision is complicated.

While having no previous experience with a straight-pull rifle before testing this Savage, I have grown to love his design.
