I selected Bison Armory to upgrade my Rock River Arms 5.56 to the more powerful 6.8 SPC cartridge. While the 5.56 is great fun at the range and on varmints it is More »

Mini-Review: 3-Gun Rifle Parts
This isn’t really going to be a review about my rifle as much as it will be the sum of its parts. My rifle is nothing to speak about really. It’s a Frankenstein that I built myself from muzzle to stock. I thought I’d just put the parts into context and why I like them and what advantage I think they give me. Take my two cents for what they’re worth. I’m just hoping to be a little informative. 
Cheap red dot sights..the good and bad
Hello again, Alot of the reviews we have here on TGR are about some pretty pricey stuff…I have alot of junk laying around here I paid very good money for too…Leupold scopes, eotechs, surefires, Streamlights, precision custom rifles and handguns I cant NOT put lasers and lights, nightsights, trigger jobs…blah blah blah….You get the idea…its not a hobby anymore its more like an obsession. I did a series on surplus rifles that are good and inexpensive….the Kaspa scope from Weaver and now I’d like to discuss a few kinds of mini red dot/reflex sights that I have used considerably and they all cost under 100$ delivered to your door. I’ve found some to be really good and some not so much…I am lucky enough to have a pretty good toy budget but in this country today that is increasingly rare. So I want to get some info out there on 6 kinds of “cheapy” red dot sights. 3 I like and 3 I don’t.

Weaver KASPA 3×12 Review
Staff Review: Cary Kieffer
Howdy, so occasionally we all screw the pootch…So I’m here to come clean on my latest mistake. Ya know if you spend enough time with gun people (or anybody) no matter what it is 99% of the time the blame is accessed on somebody else or faulty something…never the person telling the story. My dealer made me laugh he said “Cary, its refreshing to actually see somebody that for once took the blame for missing targets instead of blaming it on the shit I sold em’”…so that being said I messed up and I’m gonna explain it.
Staff Review: Zeiss Victory FL 4-16×50 Review
By Staff Writer: Charles Coker
What a sad day.. I had to send this scope back to Zeiss! Trust me, I REALLY wanted to keep it but sometimes the money just isn’t there to be able to pull something off.
I grew very fond of this scope during the hunting season of 2011. Mounted on a Nosler Trophy Grade rifle in 280 Ackley Improved it accounted for 5 game animals down with 4 shots fired. Yes, 125% success ratio! It just doesn’t get any better as for hunting experiences. Confidence in your gear really can’t be overstated.

Aimpoint or Eotech? Iron sights? 1-4? scope? ACOG?
Which is best? Which would you, as a civilian trust your life, and your familie’s life to?
Staff Review: Garand Rebarrel from Tim Shufflin
By Staff Writer: Cary Keiffer
Goodmorn. Here I am back to talk about my M-1 Garand again. If you read my review here on it back in the surplus rifles section I did then you know after we fired that day I was less than thrilled with the groups. As it turns out about 15 mins away from me there is a guy named Tim Shufflin that is a pretty well known Garand Guru and makes his living building his version of the “Tanker” Garand he calls the “Mini-G”.

I carry a GLOCK G26 Gen 4 in a DeSantis Sof-Tuck holster. My advice is to get a real gun belt (mine is from Tucker Gunleather).

Staff Review: DeSantis Sof-Tuck IWB Holster Review
By Staff Writer: Mike Coker
Big fan of DeSantis holsters – let’s get that straight from the start. The gear is well made and DeSantis customer service is top-notch. I was in need of an In-Waist-Band holster for my new Glock G26 Gen 4 pistol and decided to try the Sof-Tuck.
Consumer Review: Sig Sauer M400 AR15
I just bought a Sig Sauer M400 AR15 in 223 cal. I ran about a 100 rounds of mixed ammo – HP’s, SP’S, steel points – through it on my first outing. I rapid fired it from standing up and slow fired also.Not one hiccup in the firing. Recoil was neglibible and return point of aim was fast .
Consumer review: DPMS Rifles
I own an AR-10, and a AR-15 through DPMS. I LOVE THEM!!! I have not had 1 single problem with either of them, I have shot 100′s of rounds through each! I even outfitted my AR-15 with a SSAR-15 assembly-Slide Fire Solutions fully automatic fire buttstock! It works perfectly! My .308 AR-10 is QUITE accurate as well! I’ve bought several accessories, for each and they have all worked out perfectly!

Staff Sneak Peak: Leupold VX6 1-6 Multigun scope review
By Staff Writer: Charles Coker
Leupold listens to the multi gun shooter and responds with a new scope. When we saw the new VX-6 1-6×24 scope we were really excited about the power range. They were showing great hunting reticles but nothing with a way to shoot long distance with hold over points. We discussed the need for this for 3 gunners and apparently so did others at SHOT in January.
Staff Review: Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm Review First Thoughts
By Staff Writer: Kurt Gruber
A couple weeks ago at the NRA National Meetings Smith & Wesson introduced a new pistol that is designed specifically for concealed carry based upon its popular M&P Platform. This new pistol, chambered in 9mm and .40 S&W, is a single stack design that takes the M&P and cuts the width of the sidearm down quite drastically. The other unique thing about this product introduction is that Smith & Wesson had been manufacturing the gun prior to launch and instead of the old “check out this new product, it will be on the market in 3 to 6 months” the gun was in the hands of distributors on launch day. I got to get the feel of the gun and dry fire it a bit at the NRA convention and came home feeling like I might have just met my new carry gun.
Consumer Review: FNH USA FNP-45 Tactical Review
When I first looked at the FNP-45 Tactical, I started counting the features. Wow. Ambidextrous safety, slide release, magazine release. Double-stack .45 ACP that fits my medium sized hand. It fires as first shot double action or single action. The ambidextrous safety also acts as a decocker. Perfection.
Staff Review: Shooters Ridge Rifle Rest review
By Staff Writer: Cary Keifer
Goodmorning, so 2 days ago I ordered this Shooters Ridge Deluxe rifle rest from Walmart. They had the best price by far of the places I looked online. 79$ and 1.97$ shipping to my house. I wasn’t expecting it today but it showed up fast for once:) I’ve been here in my living room dry firing out the window for an hour or so getting familiar with it.
