Gear Reviews

I got started in precision rifle shooting when it was common logic that if you paid less than $50 for scope rings you shouldn’t expect to get much out of them. Thankfully, modern machining processes have improved to the point where that’s becoming less and less the case.

Zero Compromise Optic is a relatively new company that is shooting (pun intended) for the top spot among their competition, and they have just the product to do it: the ZC527. This rifle scope is packed with features, including locking windage and elevation turrets, rotation indicators, a highly efficient and clutter free, first focal plane reticle, an illumination system with intelligent on/off programming, incredible glass quality and it is all assembled with the highest regard for low tolerance and precision.

The little 1-8x is a scope that really can get the job done.

A sling with a contour to it. I’ll be honest though, if it ended there, I would be pretty underwhelmed. As it stands though, there is a lot of good things going for it.

In 3-gun matches, shooters use a rifle, a pistol, and a shotgun. Any of the three present challenges, but loading a shotgun quickly tends to be a skill that separates those who win from those who do not.

Identifying which load or factory cartridge maintains the most consistent velocity is a key piece of information, and a reliable chronograph is the only way you’re going to get that info. If you’ve been suspicious that the $50 chrono you bought on Amazon isn’t throwing the right numbers, the Two-Box Chrono from Autotrickler might be just what you’ve been looking for.

I know many of you will look at these and say “why do I need that?” Well, if that is you, this review is not for communists anyway. Shooting the Keltec CP33 braced is more fun than I’ve had with a gun in a long time because it is extremely controllable, tiny, and holds a lot of pews

As of late, there are so many options for red dot sights on the market. Some see this as a bad thing, but I really enjoy the huge selection that is available when shopping for an electronic sight. Crimson Trace adds to these options with their new line of electronic optics and I had the privilege to test out the CTS-1000.
