TGR Staff Review: Leupold 1.25-4 Review
I am very impressed with the new Leupold VXR Firedot line of scopes… Glass is right there with the Trijicon Accupoints, a scope line I am very familiar with and are universally well regarded for glass quality and low light hunting usefulness. Clear glass and a properly done dot that i can be just bright…

Why I trust Aimpoint
One of the things you hear all the time is why are Aimpoints so much more expensive than other red dots. Aren’t they all basically the same? Well, the answer is of course, “no, they are not”. To me, some of what you are paying for it peace of mind, with the 5 years constant…

Browning Buck Mark .22 Pistol w/Bushell Micro Trophy Red Dot review
Buck Mark Pro Target 5.5″ bull barrell. I was looking for a well made .22 to use for plinking and to entertain family members who don’t shoot very often – the Browning Buck Mark is the perfect gun for that. So many of the .22 pistols are cheaply made but the Buck Mark is a…

Trijicon Accupoint 3-9×40 Mildot with green dot reticle review
Trijicon Accupoint 3-9×40 Mildot with green dot reticle. I flat out think the Trijicon Accupoint series of scopes are the best value on the market for a hunting scope. I have had higher priced Euro scopes that may ever, ever, ever so slightly have better glass, but the Trijicon is a step up from good…

Trijicon ACOG TA44SR-10 Review
Trijicon ACOG TA44SR-10. I have used various ACOGS over the last few years and have grown to trust them with zero reservations. Standard issue to our military, they are truly battle proven. When you see images of our tropps with funny looking little scopes on their ARs, those are ACOGS (for those that aren’t aware).…

Schmidt & Bender 1.5-6×42 Zenith Flashdot #9 Review
Testing the Schmidt & Bender 1.5-6×42 Zenith Flashdot #9. I will be honest here. This Schmidt & Bender is a scope I have been lusting after for several years for my 6.8 and was elated to get one in for testing. I feel that the power range is about ideal for the 6.8 SPC with…

Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14×50 FFP M5 TMR Review
I recently spent some time with one of the new FFP Leupolds – the Mark 4 4.5-14X50. I have absolutely been converted to a few things when it comes to optics for a “precision” rifle (funny, I expect ALL of my rifles to be precise!) : FFP reticle Having the reticle and the target image being…
