The SX1-MTR is a multi-caliber capable rifle. It features a modular receiver that can be configured with several sizes of magazine wells and barrels. Ritter and Stark currently offer barrels chambered in .308 Winchester, 300 Winchester Magnum, and .338 Lapua Magnum.

  In one of the most exciting stories of the year, at least for us long range nerds, Bushnell has launched the new XRS II. Bushnell has been one of my favorite optics brands, mostly because of bang for the buck. They have a tremendous reputation for durability, at a price that won’t break the [...]

During the 2018 SHOT Show, Nikon released several new additions to their wildly popular BLACK line of optics. While perusing the new products at the Nikon booth during the Show, one product, in particular, the BLACK RANGEX 4K Laser Rangefinder, caught my eye.

XS sights install slightly different than most but are still easy to do (Make sure to watch the video!) The rear sight is held by set screws, pre-embedded in the sight block. The sight dovetail is like a pyramid, getting wider at the bottom

Steiner has long been a leader in military optics and more recently has been establishing a presence in the U.S. civilian market. We had an opportunity to test several models this summer, and the clarity of glass and quality was outstanding. New for SHOT Show 2018, Steiner announced the M6Xi.

At range day, we got a chance to catch up with Night Force Optics, who had the new 1×8 riflescopes on hand. Night Force has been very quiet on the 1x front, for a very long time. This year, however, they have come back strong.

Optics industry leader Bushnell has an addition to their red dot family for 2018, a successor to the affordable and widely-successful TRS-25: the TRS 26.

Burris Signature rings are available in both hunting (Signature) and tactical (XTR Signature) models. The awesome thing about them is that they are able to precisely compensate for misaligned bases, or, to set your scope up with built-in cant (the XTR’s are capable of 0 to 40 moa), for long-range shooting.
