I ordered up a XLR for a Rem 700 short action. I’m not a sniper school grad, F-Class champ, 3 Gun wizard, or anything of the sort.I’m just a retired combat Vet that enjoys the shooting sports.

Consumer Parts and Accessories review: CompTac Belt
The CompTac kydex reinforced belt is an all around excellent buy. It comes in at around $89 and is well worth the price. The belt is very heavy duty and does not tear or rip like ordinary belts.

Consumer Gun Review: Sig Sauer 1911 XO
I got the 1911 bug again after shooting a few mags of a Dan Wesson Valor. This along with a friend’s Para .40, I found it was time to relight the spark I once had with the 1911 platform. My only previous 1911 was a Kimber Ultra Carry Stainless Series II. The Ultra Carry was…

Consumer Gun Review: LC9 – Ruger’s big, little gun
Not long ago I stumbled into a Ruger LC9. I am not a fan of the .380 or Ruger’s LCP necesarily, but I think they did pretty well with the LC9. The size is in that “not too small, not too big” range that I think most people who carry a gun are looking for.…

Staff Optics Review: Horus Vision Blackbird II
By Kurt Gruber, TGR Staff Writer You can rarely win a 3-gun match on the long-range stage or stages. In outlaw 3-gun however, where the penalties for missing long range targets are multiplied versus misses on any other target in the match, it is pretty easy to lose a match there. It is because of…

Vortex VMX 3 Magnifier
Today I want to review the Vortex VMX3 magnifier. It’s a 3X optic that will mount behind most any red dot holosight and give you 3 power of magnification for longer or more precise shots. This magnifier definitely deserves some recognition. I’m sure there are plenty of people in the world who will call it a “cheap EoTech clone.”…

EAA Witness 38 Super Review
Today I want to review the EAA Witness in 38 Super. I bought this gun back in about ’04 if I remember right. I’ve fired it countless times and have found it to be an excellent pistol both in the way she’s built and the accuracy has been excellent too. So if a high capacity, heavily built all…

Schrade Extreme Survival Knife Review
Hello again, continuing with my knife topics I’ve been doing lately, today I want to go over a few “survival” knives. The hollow handled jobs with the waterproof cap. I have 3 different ones to discuss ranging from $50 to over $400 for the Randall Model 18. There are a ton of bad ones out there…

CSAR-T from Buck/Tops Review
Today I want to talk about the toughest folding knife I have ever seen. If this CSAR-T wasn’t a knife it would be an Abrams main battle tank. It is unbelievably well built and solid. Even more unbelievable is that its price tag is under $100. This is the only folding knife I have ever seen I thought…
