The Nikon Monarch 7i VR has been traveling with me for a few months now. It’s gotten dirty, crossed state lines, gone hunting… You get the idea. It is unlike any other rangefinder I know of, but very much like the camera and video gear I’ve used for years. We’ll jump...
EDC or In the Field: Steel Will Knives Onrush 632S Review
It can be said the greatest tool you have is the one with you at that moment in time. For example, it’s better to have a small gun than no gun for every day carry. For me, knives are a part of everyday life. Like walking out the door without a cell phone in my pocket,...

If you’d told me ten years ago I’d write a positive review of a $200 TruGlo Tru-Brite Tactical 30mm 1-6x rifle scope, I would have laughed. I mean, I was running a Trijicon ACOG ECOS kit for crying out loud. I think it cost me $1600+. And SHWAT™ wasn’t even an idea...
.277 MOA Shooting a $2500 rifle paired with a $200 1-6x TruGlo Scope
I just shot with a $200 optic on $2500 rifle and got a .277 inch group. Don't jump to any conclusions too quickly. This is just a quick entry as more work needs to be done and all is not perfect here. Consider this an in progress report and observation rather than a...

Elite Survival Systems Marathon GunPack – Concealed Carry On The Run
In actual fact, I’m not the best reviewer for the Elite Survival Systems Marathon GunPack. Don’t tune out just yet, though… Sure, I can check the objective boxes like, is it well built, priced competitively, and so on. But for a truly credible review, a distance...
Gear Review: Battle Arms Development, Inc. Ambidextrous Safety Selector (BAD-ASS)
When I was asked to do a review of the Battle Arms Development ambidextrous safety selector for the AR15 weapons platform I was more than willing because this is a part that I have nearly three years of experience with and truly believe in! I’ve also had several...
