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…

Review of Colt AR15
I’ve owned quite a few AR15’s over the past 10 years or so. Some, like this one, I’ve built with kits or with extra accumulated parts plus parts purchased for a particular project. Other’s were purchased whole, but most have been modified to some degree while I had them. I’m sure many…

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…

Nosler Trophy Grade 280 Ackley Improved Review
The 280 Ackley Improved cartridge has been around for quite some time as a Wildcat. Basically it has the same parent case (30/06) as the 270 Win, 25-06 Rem and of course, the 280 Rem. Ackely Improved means the shoulders are at a 40 degree angle making it hold a few grains more powder than…

CZ 75 SA 9mm / 22lr upper Review
The CZ75 is one of my favorite handguns, it just feels right in my hand. It’s very ergonomic and like a 1911, points naturally. I can pick a target out, close my eyes and push the gun up and out, open my eyes instantly pick up the front sight right on target. We decided to get…

Nikon Monarch 8.5-56 Binocular Review
I had my first “WOW” experience with good binos a few years ago with a buddies Swarovkskis… I wanted some badly. Up until then I really didn’t use Binos, hunting in Texas on private land we didn’t do a lot of “glassing” Fast forward a few years and I was on a hunt with numerous…

Glock 19 Gen 4 Review
During a training class with KR training, I ran the course with a Sig 226 9mm. I decide to run the last part of the class with my Glock 23c Gen3 with a 3 1/2 pound trigger which I have not used in several years and found that my speed on targets increase dramatically. Even…

STI Sporting Rifle: AR15 Review
Everyone is familiar with STI’s competition oriented handguns. They are a mainstay on the IPSC and 3 gun circuit. About a year ago they introduced an AR they dubbed their “sporting rifle”. There are 2 basic configurations, one more of a tactical model with a quad railed handguard and exposed gas block and one with…

RCBS Chargemaster Review
I have been using the RCBS Chargemaster for 2 years. It dramatically speeds up load development time and ensures consistency for building precision ammo. Not a whole lot to write about here other than it just works as advertized. When creating a batch of ammo I set it on “auto” so that when I put…

Remington LTR 308 Review
This gun comes with a 20″ fluted heavy barrel in a 1 in 12 twist. The stock is from HS Precision. I first got my LTR a few years ago after shooting my buddies and hearing nothing but I liked the idea of the 20″ barrel as by all accounts you lose very, very little…

Tikka T3 Lite .270 WSM
Tikka T3: I was looking for a new deer rifle and kind of approached it differently this time. The first thing I did was to study the ballistic tables and the .270WSM really stood out. This cartridge can push a 140gr bullet at 3,100 fps – flat shooting. At 300 yards (with a 200 yard…
