gear review

Writing a rifle bag review seems pretty straight forward right? All you have to do is talk about the material, construction, and compartments and call it a day. Well, I wanted to make this informative and entertaining so I decided to torture test a rifle bag from Savior and see what happens.

We saw a lot of development in the new style micro battle belt over the last year, a slimming down of the traditional setup. And finally, a King has been crowned. The competition was stiff, but in my opinion, Blue Force Gear has emerged as the clear winner. The CHLK or Combat Helo Load rated Kit is an absolute champion.

Recently, I have fallen in love with a classic and it’s one that might fit your needs as well. Don’t write me off immediately because the name of the boot is the Altama Leather Combat Boot, colloquially known to service members as the “All Leather”.

Today I’m covering their Terrapin X rangefinder, which a few of you may have heard about because it launched in 2018. From what I know, this rangefinder is currently Vectronix’s only item marketed to civilians. Even though it isn’t new to the market, I recently got one and thought it review-worthy because of recent updates to its Bluetooth connectivity and compatibility with popular ballistic apps that most long-range shooters already use.

The Flash 5 provides shotgunners a simple but robust stock option that excels at being a stock and a spare ammo holder. It certainly beats the pants off the Speed Feed stocks and provides an ambidextrous, streamlined and well-balanced source of spare ammunition.

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

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.

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.
