    Freezing Lube Test

    Best cold weather lubes I’ve tried have been Slip2000 and Slip2000EWL, ALG Go-Juice and Go-Juice 0000 VTG, CherryBalmz Winter Balm and LucasOil Extreme Duty Gun Oil. And of course synthetic motor oil, but that’s also toxic and I try to avoid using toxic lubricants.

    Freezing Lube Test

    That’s actually Dave Timm, the owner. I’m his co-instructor on the training side of the business and I do some of the testing and consulting on the media side. We’ve since tested a couple other lubes that weren’t available at that time and we’ve seen some with good cold weather performance...

    Spotters Tract Toric

    I’ve had a short amount of time with one and I think it’s on par with the Bravo Tier premium spotters like the Swaro STS/ATS, Vortex Razor or Nightforce TS-82. When you consider the price point and the optional ranging eyepieces, you have a phenomenal spotter. They have very good customer...

    BCM MK2 Availability

    BCM is probably still trying to catch up on orders. I know in the past they have prioritized built uppers or complete rifles, and fulfilling commercial and private contract orders. It’s also important to note that in my conversations with Paul Buffoni he has detailed their QC/QA process and...

    FN SCAR 20S vs. HK MR762A1

    I totally get what you’re saying, and if someone is willing to pay to play then I certainly can’t fault them for it. That said, my position is that when we’re dealing with platforms that have so many proprietary parts, that $100 here and there starts to add up very quickly because it’s...

    PRS Talk PRS Production class scope options

    Buddy of mine got ahold of one of these several months ago for a review and loved it, and these quickly came on my radar. I just bought a new house so the production class build went on the back burner for a while, but I’m gonna keep my eye on it.

    Put more money into an LMT MWS or buy a KAC SR-25?

    You know the LMT MWS was co-developed with KAC right? If that gives you any desire to keep your LMT, then good. The LMT is a great rifle, and in my opinion it’s a superior rifle to the SR25. Modular design and monolithic upper. You can get whatever you want.

    Aimpoint releasing product

    I have 4 years of running both open and closed emitter pistol MRDS on duty in Minnesota. What I said is based on my experience and I’m acutely aware of what is obvious. Having also run an ACRO in the winter, the snow hitting the rear lens does not cause any significant issue. Snow does...

    AR308 Build & Wilson Combat & Lightweight BCG?

    As stated above, don’t run a lightweight carrier unless you have a specific need for one for competition use. Large frame ARs are difficult to build correctly and throwing an LMOS carrier in there is only going to introduce more issues relating to tuning the gas system...

    Buying the wife a soft armor vest, need recommendations

    Given that your wife actually lifts, if you want soft armor you need to get her properly sized and fitted. Female front panels use demonstrably different geometry and if it’s not fitted properly, it’s going to be very uncomfortable for her. It’s even more critical because your wife doesn’t...
