    Sidearms & Scatterguns Experiences with Benelli M4 collapsible stock

    The question right now is whether you already own an M4, or are considering buying one. If you own one, I think the collapsible stock is better for fit. The M4 itself really isn’t the cat’s meow it was made up to be. The gas system is the one benefit, but everything else about the gun fails...

    Rifle Scopes US CBP Identifies Leupold Mark 5HD for Future Use

    Not surprised. The Mark5 is an impressive scope line. The glass is outstanding. I wish it was 34mm instead of 35mm just because of there being more mounting options, but it’s nitpicky.

    Rifle Scopes LPVO with best 1x performance?

    The SMRS has better glass and the eyebox is slightly larger, but the P4Xi has a superior illumination. The SMRS illumination is barely daylight visible, and on bright sunny days the illumination is ineffective. The P4Xi on the other hand is red dot bright. It depends on what you value for an...

    Rifle Scopes LPVO with best 1x performance?

    No, not yet. We’ve discussed it and are trying to decide if we want to write it up, or do it by video. We are looking at expanding our online content, and review videos may be a way to do it. The hard part is doing justice to optics the way that guys like Ilya Koshkin and Big Jim Fish do...

    65mm spotting scopes (please help)

    Is there a massive difference in the optical quality between 65mm and 80mm lenses for the same optic line?

    Rifle Scopes LPVO with best 1x performance?

    We (Learning Firearms training) have seen a significant number of LPVOs in our courses, and we as instructors have been using LPVOs for over a decade. From my perspective, I have yet to find the perfect LPVO, but several have come pretty close. Honestly, most of the higher-end optics are very...

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on the Leupold D-EVO?

    Our SWAT rifles being suppressed may make the difference. We don’t have any gas system regulation, so there’s a lot of crap blowing back into (and out of) the receiver.

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on the Leupold D-EVO?

    One of my partners has a DEVO/LCO combo on his SWAT rifle (suppressed 11.5” Colt). For what it is, it’s a functional optic. The benefit is that it fits in our squad rifle racks. The BDC is relatively similar to the ammo we use. 6x is a good magnfication for LE patrol use in an urban...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Optics Pricing

    Leupold is pretty strict about MAP. You won’t really see any “best pricing” for them like I think you’re hoping. Sport Optics has a good reputation here. Also, if you qualify for the VIP program (LE, MIL) for Leupold, you can get their VIP pricing. It’s 45% off MSRP for all optics.

    Altitude mask ?

    A while back I read an article detailing the real science behind altitude masks. In short, the science isn’t supportive of the claims made by people who use altitude masks. It takes a minimum of 2 weeks for your body to acclimate to altitude. Altitude is based on environmantals that cannot be...

    Rifle Scopes Kahles k16i 1-6x24 on suppressed AR?

    One of the best, if not THE best LPVOs on the market. I own one and it's better than any other LPVO I've tried. Massive eye box, exceptional optical quality, extremely wide FOV and daylight bright illumination.

    Rifle Scopes Sneak Peek - GPO - German Precision Optics

    What is the illumination like? Is it daylight visible, and if so, how much so? Also, would you be able to post a picture of the reticle while illuminated? Any help would be appreciated. I am very interested in this 1-8x

    Rifle Scopes Eotech Vudu 1-6

    I wasn't at Fisher's course for the optics, but I have been at one of his courses last year where I got time behind the AccuPoint 1-4x and 1-6x, AccuPower 1-4x, along with a Vortex Razor HD Gen2 1-6x and Leupold VX-R Patrol 1.25-4x. I also used to own a Leupold Mark6 1-6x CMR-W 7.62. I'm also...

    Rifle Scopes Question on Sig Scopes and other "2nd Tier" brands

    The Sig scopes are decent, but like Vortex, you are going to run the gamut of quality and options. The Tango4 line is just like the Vortex Razor Gen1, while the Tango6 line is like the Razor Gen2 in terms of options and upgrades. Not at all surprising, considering that they reportedly share...

    Rifle Scopes Eotech Vudu 1-6

    I got a couple hours hands-on last week with a Vudu 1-6x SR-3, along with several others like the Trijicon 1-8x and VCOG, Vortex Razor Gen2, Kahles K16i, Leupold Mk6, and a few other lower level LPVOs. I tried them both outdoors and indoors/CQB. If I owned a Trijicon 1-8x, I certainly wouldn't...
