Vortex’s new contender in the 1X arena isn’t even a true vintage style Red-Dot sight at all. It is actually a small one power prismatic scope. It isn’t dependent on shining LEDs, lasers, or fiber optic transmitted light upon a lens to create an aiming point. It has an etched reticle that is present without artificial illumination, though it does have supplemental illumination to aid in low lighting conditions.

SIG VIRTUS – New Standard In Tough
BY Clay Martin Updated: April 22, 2018The operating system is so unique and different on the Virtus, we were really curious about how well it would actually run over time. We tossed down the gauntlet of attempting to run it 2000 rounds suppressed, without a drop of lube

Get All The Bag You’ll Ever Need: Voodoo Tactical’s 3-Gun Weapons Case
BY Clay Martin Updated: February 14, 2018One major problem that has plagued multi-gun shooters since the advent of the sport is how do you carry all your stuff? Some people modify baby strollers or golf bags, which kinda works. Except you look like a nerd.
Flight of the Valkyrie: .224 Puts Rounds On Steel at 1 Mile — Review
BY Clay Martin Updated: February 9, 2018It is not often we see a caliber that actually changes the way we think about shooting. Wildcats abound, often with marginal improvement over a factory round at best. There are exceptions, though most calibers fail to catch hold. Even those backed by major players. Several new calibers have been tried in AR-15’s over the past few years, none strong enough to give the rifle new legs. Today, hopefully, that changes.
