(12.22.12) Remington 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD Review After a considerable number of requests I have published a stand alone review of the Remington 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD. This rifle has been the base for our "Budget Precision" build for some time, but we had not taken the time to consolidate our experience into a review of the rifle as it came "out of the box". Hopefully this will satisfy our readers requests. (read more) |
(12.20.12) Lifeproof iPhone Case Enter the Lifeproof iPhone case. This case was slim, slick enough to slide in and out of pockets and best of all, waterproof. Not just rain/splash resistant.

(12.07.12) Bushnell Elite Tactical XRS 4.5-30x50mm It seems that Bushnell was not content to enjoy the popularity of the HDMR. Taking the winning combination they went to work a new model appropriately named the XRS (extreme range rifle scope). The XRS retains the same family resemblance as the HDMR and the other “Elite Tactical” rifle scopes, but again ups the ante. (read more) |

(11.01.12) Cascadia Armament Design QD Sling Plates We recently had a chance to take a look at the QD Sling Plates from Cascadia Armament Design. These plates replace the footman's loops on the Magpul PRS stocks. They install quickly, easily and add the ability to attach a push button swivel equipped sling to your Magpul PRS. Watch as we install them on our Mega Arms MATEN Project. (click here) |
(10.04.12) Butler Creek releases new Tactical Flip Caps Almost everyone who has used plastic flip up scope caps has experienced a failure at some point. Sometimes it's the spring giving up, but usually it's a crack through the hinge that tears the cap from the body. There is no way to repair this and junking the cap it your only option. The Butler Creek brand is owned by Bushnell Outdoor Products. The guys at Bushnell have been listening to our gripes about the Butler Creek caps and have produces a solution. The Butler Creek "Tactical" One Piece Flip-Cap scope covers. These are molded of a tuff rubber with a living hinge design. There are no pieces to come off and the ocular and objective caps are the same design. No more bright red button. We just installed a set on our Elite Tactical 3200 10x scope for a review. Initial impressions are that these are just what the doctor ordered for those guys who are busting caps on a regular basis. |

(06.13.12) Mail Call Mondays Reloading Special! You guys have asked for it (over and over and over) so now we are going to deliver. Starting 06.18.12 we will be covering "Tactical Rifle Reloading". We will start with brass preparation. Then cover load selection and workup, bullet seating, etc. I want to make sure our viewers understand what they are getting. We will be covering reloading specifically for Tactical Rifles. This is not reloading for Benchrest Rifles. We will explain some of the differences as we go along. Hopefully it will be useful to the majority of you and demonstrate how easy it really is to produce accurate ammunition for less than store bought, and tailored to your needs.

(02.12.12) Remington M24-Rebuild Program Have you ever wanted to own a real, issued M24 Sniper Rifle? Now you "almost" can. The US Army is turning over a quantity of their old M24 rifles to Remington. Remington is replacing the old barrels and actions with new components then offering the complete package with all original M24 parts and accessories. The program is setup in tiers. The first rifles will be available only to US Military Service members who have graduated from a US Military Sniper School. After six months the sales will be opened up to active duty military then military retirees and finally law enforcement officers. There does not appear to be any general public sales in the future, but I anticipate that the rifles will be gone before the orders from all tiers are filled. Check the Remington Defense M24-R website for more details. |
