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 →

RDB in OD Green, 17.2″ barrel

Posted on December 1, 2014 by Oleg Volk

The optic is the familiar 3x prismatic with BDC reticle. The 3x reticle is not the same as shown in the video, but the principles of use are the same.

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 →

Another useful feature of bullpups

Posted on November 30, 2014 by Oleg Volk

The forend comes very close to the muzzle. Besides making stable firing hold easier, it also prevents partial occlusion of the weapon light by the barrel.

Reasons to like Keltec CMR30

Posted on November 28, 2014 by Oleg Volk

In my experience, it’s been reliable, accurate and fun to use. The optic shown is 3x Vortex Spitefire, quite reasonable with this cartridge for ranges up to 250 yards. 22mag ammo ranges in bullet weight from 30 to 50 grains. … Continue reading →

Modern armies have 30 or so support staff for every fighter at the tip of the spear. The ratio of support to active fighters in the war to secure individual liberty is even more skewed. For every Alan Gura, thousands … Continue reading →

Range time with Tavor
