Today’s Picture of the Day is a Colt AR-15, which you can spot behind the RMJ Tactical Tomahawk Kestrel axe. The scope is a Leupold LR/T M3, connected to the Picatinny with a Spuhr scope mount. As usual, there’s some furniture from Magpul and an ALG Defense [Read More…]
Have you ever wondered how a scope mount is made? That is the story behind Today’s Photo of the Day. In the pictures you can see a “before” and “after”. You start with a block of aluminum, of alloy 7075 T651. Obviously this is the lump of [Read More…]
The words “unstable” and “sniper” are two things you really don’t want to combine in one sentence, however in real life that choice may not be yours. On top of that you have the weather, temperature and wind to take care of. Shooting on the [Read More…]
The Benelli MR1, a semi-automatic rifle in .223 Remington developed and manufactured by the Benelli Armi SpA of Italy was never a hit in the USA. The action is the ARGO system patented by Benelli, and the MR1’s bigger brothers can be found in the Benelli Argo [Read More…]

Today’s Photo is one of the strangest shooting positions I’ve ever seen, and it involves what most likely is the spotter and a lot of various bags used to support the sniper and his Accuracy International sniper rifle. Does anyone have a name for this [Read More…]
As TFB told you earlier this year, there are Glock Magazine Lowers for the B&T APC9-G & GHM9-G coming. It doesn’t stop there, as you know the Swiss B&T is a very innovative company, with (for the industry) short leadtimes. This means they can provide [Read More…]
Last week we enjoyed looking at a number of pictures from Europe’s Best Sniper Team Competition. As you can see in the pictures, you need to be able to handle a variety of situations and firearms to score and win. Everything from medical care to shooting at [Read More…]
The 10:th Special Forces Workshop 2018 in Güstrow (Germany) was organized by the Baltic Shooters, and contained three action-packed days. The event is by many considered as the best military and law enforcement events in Germany. As could be expected, there are not [Read More…]
The annual Sniper Competition in Finland is organized by Ostrobothnia Sniper Association – PohTA. Last year we covered Finnsniper with some very nice photos, like here for instance, as well as a video of 50 Sniper Rifles open fire simultaneously at one target. [Read More…]
The German exhibitions EnforceTac 2018 and IWA 2018 had loads to see this year. I personally think both were much better than last year, and that’s from someone who’s just been to SHOT Show and seen “everything”. Lights, lasers & sights [Read More…]
Aimpoint at SHOT Show – so what’s the big news? Not much really in terms of big news – but the small news there was seem to have escaped the World unnoticed. Until now that is. As you can see in the pictures there is a new Aimpoint T2 in Ceracote Flat [Read More…]
Here you can find a nice array of photos (from Bartosz Różański) from the Polish Snipers of the 21:st Brigade. As you can see they are using their new SAKO TRG M10 sniper rifles. As TFB reported before, Poland have bought 150 TRG M10 rifles, which they now seem to [Read More…]
Just before SHOT Show we reported about the new Magpul Pro 700 stock. You can read all the details here. Magpul Industries just released a few new pictures of actual builds and they’re pretty good looking with some excellent specifications. The top picture shows a [Read More…]
I never really thought about it, and don’t know if EOTech’s claim is correct or not, but with the release of their Green reticles, we’re told that they’re about six times easier to see than red ones during the daytime. I never had a problem [Read More…]
This is cool and somewhat unexpected. But if the Swedish Armed Forces have and use them perhaps there should be manuals in the local language. As many are aware, the Swedish Army is currently and mainly using the AK5 (Automatkarbin 5). There is a long-term project [Read More…]
Three holes in a paper at 100 meters. Some times these groupings come together, sometimes they don’t. In a SAKO TRG M10, considering its price and all the premium components involved in this system, you would think that the groupings would always come together [Read More…]
To begin with I think most, if not all, AR15s should be able shoot 1 MOA groups. Unfortunately they don’t, and sometimes even the best rifle just won’t marry whatever ammunition your using. But here’s proof that this competition rifle is up for it. A [Read More…]
The Danish snipers of Stabskompagniet II Livgarden posted a video of their new Accuracy International AX50. To my knowledge these rifles are going to complement, or possibly replace, the current SAKO TRG 42s. According to the video the rifle has a 27″ inch barrel [Read More…]
I really want to Ceracote some of my rifles, but I lack the courage to commit and I keep changing my mind in terms of which rifle to start with and which pattern to paint it in. Too many choices, too difficult to back off the wrong choice and of course, the cost of the [Read More…]
Zenith Firearms have released a new model called the Zenith Z-5RS “Pistolman”. The base model is made by MKE in Turkey. The clones I’ve seen from there looks decent and I haven’t heard any of my friends complaining about any issues. Those who [Read More…]
TFB’s Pete asked before if we can shoot MOA all day long? That’s over a year ago and I’m sorry I haven’t replied earlier but “I was busy“. However that doesn’t mean I can’t, and this time I brought back some proof to [Read More…]
For practical competition shooting I now use a Zeiss V8 1.1-8x in a Spuhr mount, with an Aimpoint Micro (H1 or H2 doesn’t matter) mounted on the side on the Spuhr mount. It’s not the cheapest solution, but the best I’ve seen and it works well for me. [Read More…]
