Gear Reviews

Vortex Optics announced in late April of 2022 the release of three new rangefinders to its existing lineup.

Every once in a while I find really cool gear that isn’t way overpriced. Stroup Knives isn’t going to be a secret forever and I’d guess that as demand goes up so will the prices.

XS is a leader in the Night Sights world, with far-ranging options for everything from suppressor height tritium’s to shotguns. XS has two new options for this year which we wanted to test anyway. The DVG-1 presented the perfect storm to do a two for one.

In my never-ending search for the perfect optic to pair with a lightweight, long-range hunting rifle, Vortex Optics’ Razor HD LHT piqued my interest with its impressive feature set to weight ratio. How well does it perform in the field though? I’ve put the new 4.5-22×50 MOA model through extensive testing and am here to answer that exact question.

In this article, I cover the IRay ZOOM, which offers a unique feature to a thermal scanner.

Ripping off the absolutely ludicrous Leupold 18x scope we used for accuracy testing, the new Charger started to shine with a red dot. Suppressed and wearing 1x, this Charger was incredibly fun to play with at the range. My kids love it, and after shooting it all afternoon, it was worth every penny. I have built a fair number of 10/22 projects over the years, but this one is by far my favorite. And it doesn’t hurt that it looks like an oversized version of Han Solo’s blaster.

One of the highlights for the EOTECH Vudu 1-10 includes low-profile “tactical” turrets with locking elevation.

Among the small items you need to play a ninja in the woods is a decent watch, which is often overlooked. In a world of cell phones, the simple wristwatch has for many people become obsolete. However, I remain strongly in favor of having one, such as my personal IsoBrite Explorer.

Blackhawk is now offering a new, inside the waistband, carry holster that can be custom molded to a firearm in your kitchen.
