Talk about timing! Remember the ATF Pistol Brace scare of 2020? Well, around that same time Gearhead Works sent me their new super-secret 1913 mount adapted Tailhook brace. We're the first to showcase this brace, so it's no longer super secret. If you've thought about...
Best .308 AR? PWS MK216 Review and Torture Test!
In the spring of 2018, three years ago, I ordered my first PWS. The MK216 MOD 1-M chambered in .308 WIN. Funnily enough, I outlined the reasons for my purchase decision in my .233 PWS review published in May of 2019. I concluded that review with a promise to publish...
You Need a Tripod, but Skip the Crappy Ones
Change my mind. If you're shooting 35 yards or never leave the square range, I get it. A tripod isn't for you. And there was a time before tripods found their way into my hunting and shooting. It was a happy time, carrying less gear into a field in the cover of...
AGM Secutor TS50-384 Review | Good Thermal You Can Afford
We've reviewed a couple of Global Vision's thermal products. And when I say "we," I mean Casey Jones. You can check out his reviews of the TM35-384 and the TM35-640. Don't get me wrong, a thermal monocular is a necessity for what we do. But, when the opportunity...

The Weirdest Flashlight We’ve Tried: The Exude OD40 Gen II Illuminator
White lights and ARs go together like bread and butter. Tactical lights can gather some applause with a rugged build and good looks. Spotlights are found on many predator hunts. We love lights here and have tried plenty of them. But we've never seen a weirder...
Vertx Gamut Overland Backpack Review
If 2020 has taught me anything, it's that you can always be better prepared. Several months ago, we were returning from what felt like our 1000th trip to the farm this year. This is when the protests and rioting were happening. While I wasn’t concerned about...
NightRide X Thermal Review – Vehicle Mounted Thermal Camera
A few months ago SHWAT Prostaffer Jared Hilton tagged me in a Facebook post. He didn’t know it at the time, but that action would later cause a chain of events to occur that lead to 118 hogs down in two nights. The post I clicked on took me to a video about the...
Accuracy and Audacity: The Retro Tactical Swiss K31 Review
Precision. Boldness. Two distinguishing characteristics of the Swiss K31 bolt action rifle. Having spent time as a sniper and a cavalryman, I appreciate both. The two are entwined in one of my favorite stories. Before beginning this K31 review, let's talk about the...
