Optics/Sights

Thankfully for all the buddies on a budget, the AGM Rattler has a bit more of an affordable price than your average thermal scope.

While available in both MOA and MRAD variants, I opted to test the MRAD version of the Strike Eagle 3-18. I think Vortex has another hit on its hands.

Who doesn’t love a good red dot? Especially these days when the technology has lowered drastically in price while growing in quality. Holosun, in particular, has taken the world by storm by not only producing high-quality optics at low prices but innovating. In the last few years, they’ve really taken off and designed optics that go beyond being competent and have created competition in the optics world. The latest Holosun is the AEMS. AEMS stands for Advanced Enclosed Micro Sight, and it promises to be the latest and greatest compact optic.

There are some companies that are just not given the credit deserved. Take for example, optics manufacturers Meopta.

We created an original video explaining the features and differences between all the SIG Laser Rangefinders

The HS512C is an outstanding optic for close-quarters shooting. It provides an enclosed optic option for those wanting something but is very effective and affordable. The HS512C is well suited for home defense, and I’d even take it on as a duty optic. The little fella is a fighter and provides an enclosed optic option that might be a little easier to find than the AEMS for the next few months.

I had a lot of fun using this scope over the last couple of months. Let me tell you now, once you start hunting with thermal you will not want to go back.

This week, we got our hands on the latest member of the SIG miniature red dot family, the Romeo 1 Pro. Designed to slide mount on pistols, with the option available for Picatinny mounting to rifles, this little guy is a great addition to the lineup. Most of you are probably asking what is the difference between the Romeo 1 and the Romeo 1 Pro, and that is a valid question. The answer requires a little bit of storytime though.

The Sako S20 was definitely cheated when it hit the market in 2020; Covid19 stole the media spotlight and was also responsible for the cancellation of the SHOT Show and the Annual NRA Show, the two largest firearms manufacturer events of the year. The S20 has a right to feel slighted, but the US consumers were also cheated by not getting the exposure they deserved to the new Sako offering. So, let’s take a fresh look at the S20’s features, options, and performance.
