Nitecore NU25 Review
The Nitecore NU25 is a well-liked ultralight hiking headlamp. It has a built-in rechargeable battery that you can charge with a micro USB cord, a red LED, main spot LED, and a high CRI (color rendering index) flood white light. I asked Nitecore to send me one because I wanted to have better gear than…

Klarus XT2CR Pro Review
One of my earliest reviews that even pre-dates this website, was my review of the Klarus XT2C. Like that flashlight, the XT2CR Pro is a portable hand-sized, 18650-powered flashlight. But technology has marched on and the XT2CR Pro has 4X the lumens at top power of my older XT2C. It also has a built-in charging…

Howard Leight Impact Sport Review
Howard Leight Impact Sport electronic ear muffs are the most popular electronic hearing protection that I see out at the range. They’re inexpensive at around $50-60 CAD, they collapse down very small, they have a slim profile that doesn’t jam into rifle and shoulder stocks as badly as bigger sets, and the electronics are OK…

Cabela’s Covenant 7 Review
I couldn’t find enough info on these online so I thought I’d get one for myself and try it. I also didn’t currently have a mil/mil scope so I thought I’d get one and get used to MRAD rather than using MOA for everything. The Cabela’s Covenant 7 is a Chinese-made, 34mm tube, in 3-21…

SBI 10/22 Magazine Adapter
The Spectre Ballistics International (SBI) 10/22 magazine adapter is an aluminum adapter you can use on your 10/22 to allow it to take Remington 597 magazines. If you’re American, that probably sounds like a really weird thing to do but in Canada, our majesty’s pony police decided that Butler Creek 25 round mags, made decades…

Smith Optics Elite Aegis Echo II Review
It’s hard reviewing eye pro because you need a year or two of hard use on them to get a feel for if they’re any good, but the manufacturers change model numbers/names so frequently that reviews aren’t useful after a couple years. I’ve got a year and a half of hard use on these Smith…

This article will have section 1 on the Gen 1, section 2 on Gen 2, and section 3 on comparing the two. Vortex Spitfire…

The Cheapest Handguns in Canada
In Canada, handguns are heavily restricted and regulated. You can take them to certified ranges. . .and that’s pretty much it. Before I get in to listing out the cheapest ones you can buy, a few recommendations: Go to a handgun course once you have one. Handguns require skill to shoot well, and it’s best…

SKS Tech Sight Review
Tech Sights are an aperture style rear sight replacement. They make them for many models, including the SKS. They’re popular for the SKS, because many optics mounts are either unsturdy, or they put the optic quite high above the bore, making an add-on cheek rest also necessary. The tech sight holds on to the receiver,…
