Superhuman senses.

Posted on September 11, 2015 by Oleg Volk

She can hear better and tell bearing of the sound source more precisely with the amplified hearing protection. She can see in the dark with the thermal scope. And she’s definitely compensating with the Tavor for her inability to well-aimed … Continue reading →

Volquartsen solution for the left-handed.

Savage Rascal, scoped

Posted on August 25, 2015 by Oleg Volk

I’ve written about Savage Rascal before. It’s one of my favorite little rifles, tiny enough for kids but built well enough for adults to use as well. I use mine with the default peep sight and that’s good enough for … Continue reading →

Dissipator

Posted on August 11, 2015 by Oleg Volk

Back in 1999, when I shopped for my first AR15, my choices were narrowed down to two: 20″ A2 and  16″ Dissipator. The purchasing decision was based on the legal restrictions against flash hiders — I ended up with the … Continue reading →

A rifle so light, an 8 year old can run it.

Posted on August 1, 2015 by Oleg Volk
