A very upgraded M&P15-22

Posted on January 4, 2015 by Oleg Volk

When training with a rimfire equivalent of your serious rifle, it makes sense to make it a similar as possible. In this case, Magpul furniture and sights, Geiselle trigger and Lucid HD7 sight were used. HD7 offers four reticles, from … Continue reading →

Dressing for the weather

Posted on December 14, 2014 by Oleg Volk

There’s much to be said for dressing the model for the weather. Even when it’s 50*F, adequate furriness of the outfit makes for much happier collaborators than a bikini or natural pretty skin. The rifle is a MAD33, an American-manufactured … Continue reading →

Accurate rifles are interesting. Accurate shooting is more so.

Posted on December 1, 2014 by Oleg Volk

  Let’s say we have a target one second of flight time away. For 62gr .223 that would be about 650 yards. Aim, correct for drop, fire…not even close! 10mph side wind will take the center of the group more … Continue reading →
