Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50mm FFP EBR-1 Scope
After the excellent experience I had with my Zeiss, I went looking for another high-powered tactical variable-power scope. I found what I was looking for in the Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50mm First Focal Plane. Like so many of my optics and accessories, I purchased the Viper PST through Primary Arms. I’ve used the Viper PST…

South Texas Arms STA-LR in .243 Win
Some time back I had a conversation with Brandon Sneed, owner of South Texas Arms, about a lightweight full frame AR purpose built for hunting. We both understand that there is only so light you can go, and we want premium components which sometimes bring some heft with them. In addition, we considered what calibers…

Bushnell ELITE TACTICAL ERS 3.5-21x 50mm Review
I was needing to add another scope to the tool box. I only use Mil reticle, Mil turrets, and first focal plane. I used to be opposed to reticles that had Horus type windage and elevation hold points, but thought I would at least try the Bushnell ERS, and give it an honest run. Using…

AADMOUNT 34mm scope mount
There are a lot of optic mounts on the market for AR15s. Some are quick detach with a promise to return to zero. Some are bolt on with either nuts or allen/torx head bolts to lock them into place. Unless you really need tool less removal I have come to prefer a well done “non…

ADM mounts are of the highest quality, many feature the rock-solid Quick Detach Auto Lock Lever system, and they are designed and built in the USA. Top off a great product with…

Trijicon Accupoint 1-6
“Trijicon, you need to make a 1-6 Accupoint with a reticle good for holdovers!!!” That has been the battle cry for a few years now.. Yes, at this point there ARE a lot of 1-6 scopes out there, good ones. But as we all know, the awesome thing about Trijicons are no batteries to deal…

Super Sniper 5-20X50 Tactical Riflescope
I started using First Focal Plane (FFP) on a Bushnell Elite Tactical 4500. It has an old school Mil dot reticle, and 5 Mils per rev. I believe this was in 2010. I hunted with it, and competed in Tactical Long Range rifle matches reaching to 1000 yards, and occasionally beyond. I started the scope…
