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…

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…

Streamlight TLR-1 HL Review
Having a light permanently on a handgun makes it more practical for investigating when things go bump in the night. Note: The TLR-1 comes in regular and HL versions. 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…

Bushnell Engage EDX 10×42 Binoculars Review
Shortly after picking up my Vortex Diamondback HD 10×42 binos, I came across a killer deal that was posted on CanadaGuns Discord: a set of Bushnell’s Engage binoculars featuring their EDX glass. I thought it’d be neat to compare and contrast the Engage vs the Diamondback, as well as check out what Bushnell was doing…

Holosun HS407CO v2 Review
The Holosun HS407CO is their budget pistol red dot and it’s packed with features. V2 (as pictured) uses a battery tray that’s more easily accessible from a side drawer instead of underneath the optic (which requires removal to change the battery). They use a small 1632 battery, but the convenience of changing it out is…

RangeMaxx 3 Gun Case Review
Packing up for 3 gun can be a chore with all the gear and guns required. I usually use an older Flambeau double rifle case to squeeze all my guns in, but when I saw that Cabela’s was selling the RangeMaxx Tactical 3-gun case on sale, I had to see if it’d protect the guns…

Caldwell Rotary 10/22 Mag Charger
The Caldwell Rotary Mag charger is a magazine loader for 10/22 type magazines. I bought it on the hopes of using it in the cold so I wouldn’t have to take my gloves off. Long story short: it’s extremely finicky and I found that it was easier to just load rounds into the mag by…

Olight Javelot Turbo Review
The Olight Javelot Turbo is a long throw LED flashlight, good for lighting up things up to about 1km away. Olight sent me one of these to promote their black Friday 2020 sale. That sale is over, but they’re still available for $183 USD or $216 Canadian. Olight Javelot Turbo Specs 4 output settings (1300,…

Vortex Venom Red Dot Review
The Vortex Venom is a compact, value-priced, lightweight red dot from Vortex made in the Philippines. I bought this one for use on a rifle, but these compact red dots are most commonly used on optics-ready pistols. Sometimes they’re mounted on a 45 degree offset mount as a second optic on a rifle. Venoms are…
