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,…

RangeMaxx Tactical Gun Case Combo Review
It’s an inexpensive gun case from Cabela’s that’ll hold 2 MSR style rifles in the main bag and 2 pistol cases in the front case or just remove that bit. They go on sale for around $69 from time to time. Despite what I say in the video, it will fit a WK180C (I have…

Tara TM-9 Review : a DA/SA, Striker-fired pistol?
The Tara TM9 is a polymer framed, striker fired pistol made in Montenegro. Who cares, right? Everyone and their dog makes a Glock knockoff (Glock alternatives in Canada article).

Mosin Nagant M44 Carbine
The Mosin Nagant M44 Carbine is a Russian/Soviet carbine-length, bolt action rifle in 7.62x54R. It’s a shorter, carbine version to the longer Mosin M1891s and 91/30s.

Vortex Spitfire AR Review
The Vortex Spitfire AR is a 1X prism scope made in China. Compared with a plain red dot, a prism scope like the Spitfire works better for people with astigmatism, has an etched reticle that doesn’t require batteries, and has less of a tunnel vision than a red dot does. It also has adjustable turrets…

Savage 12FV Review
The Savage 12FV is a bolt action rifle exclusive to Cabela’s. It has a varmint profile (kinda heavy) barrel, oversized bolt handle, jeweled bolt, synthetic stock, and uses a blind top-load magazine. This Savage has the top bolt release, not the bottom one like some other Savage rifles. Although they say it’s a varmint rifle,…

Carcano M91 Carbine Review
The Carcano is an Italian, bolt action rifle used from 1891 through WWII. It uses a 6 round, Mannlicher-style internal en-bloc clip that auto drops out the bottom on the last round. The first models were done in 6.5×52, then they tried 30 cal for a while before going back to the 6.5. But this…

The HL version (pictured) is $160 USD or $200 Canadian, half the price of the Surefire X300U-A, which go for $300 USD or $420 Canadian. Streamlight…

Maple Ridge Armoury Renegade Review
The Maple Ridge Armoury (MRA) Renegade is a Canadian-made, manually-actuated, straight pull rifle in 223 sized family. Although it looks like an AR15, the lower receiver, upper receiver, and BCG are all proprietary and you can’t swap in AR versions of any of those. Note: the Maple Ridge Maverick, the 308-sized version, is coming in…
