Never happened to iron sights: Marine Corps is running out of rifle optics for new recruits
Within the Marine Corps veteran community, there are few subjects more prone to good-natured ribbing than the modern generation’s reliance on the standard issue Marine rifle combat optic, commonly referred to as an RCO. These 4x magnification rifle gunsights have been a part of every Marine’s standard rifle loadout for years now, but among old […]
Trijicon and Primary Arms collaboration | The ACOG with ACSS reticle
The Trijicon ACOG is a legendary optic among many servicemen who have relied upon its durability and versatility during combat. While I am lucky to count myself among that group, my time spent overseas was spent with the venerable TA01 which has been surpassed time and time again by more advanced offerings from Trijicon.

Atibal MROC 3x Optic: A rugged light weight sight
The Atibal MROC (modern rifle optic component) is another entry in the short but growing list of optics based on the same patent as the venerable Trijicon ACOG.

The Peshmerga’s German G36 rifles take a bite out of ISIS
The G36 could easily be pictured in the hands of a police commando resembling a stormtrooper who’s escorting Snake Pliskin to some wall of a prison island that was once a chunk of the United States. Instead, it’s finding its way into the hands of Kurdish Peshmerga soldiers on the front lines of a war where it’s muzzle thumping […]
Lucid P7 4x Optic | Quick Look
The Lucid P7 is a 4x prismatic optic based on the same (expired) patent as the Trijicon ACOG. Nearly every Ranger I served with who was issued an ACOG loved them: there’s a strong desire in the marketplace for a similar scope tailored more for the sporting market. Most people are willing to trade-off a few […]
The Peshmerga’s German G36 Rifles Take a Bite Out of ISIS
As far as I’m concerned, the Germans can send every de-issued G36 here, because the Kurds need all the logistical support they can get.
